Unsilent Night is an original composition by Phil Kline, written specifically to be heard outdoors in December in the form of a “public performance art piece,” aka flash mob parade.
Here’s how it works:
- Download the MP3. There are four different tracks, and one will be chosen for you at random. Load the MP3 onto a boombox or other sound-amplifying device.
- If you can’t do Step 1, arrive early and get a CD or cassette.
- Meet at Dolores Park on the evening of Saturday, December 17. At 7:30pm, everyone presses play!
- Parade through the city on a predetermined route while the music plays, creating a “unique mobile sound sculpture.”
And then head to American Tripps after!
Wow, you even stepped all over Unsilent Night by shoe horning in an American Tripps plug? Have you no shame?
Seems like announcing it two days in advance sort of nullifies the whole “flash” aspect of “flash mob”
You need to turn on a little bit of imagination, but I do agree with you it is not flash anymore and not, humm, well flash and not interesting anymore.
I guess I need to turn on my imagination a bit too.
again, batman has only 1 question… WILL THERE BE TACOS AT THIS AMERICAN TRIPPS?! BATMAN LOVES TACOS !
Unsilent Night is not a flash mob, but a well publicized event held annually in San Francisco and a lot of other cities.
Wouldn’t it be easier if they setup several radio transmitters with the different tracks? Or do people not have radios anymore?
“unique mobile sound sculpture” = ungodly noise
How about pre-dawn dog-barking downstairs flash mob?
These fuckers went down fulton street not too long ago and fucking 12:30am on a week day, waking me up a half hour after I fell asleep. There should be a law allowing you to pick them off with a high powered rifle.
@K-dogs: We invite you to bring a boombox and come on down to see for yourself what a delightful holiday event this is.
