Unsilent Night is a mobile sound sculpture that was written specifically to be heard outdoors in the month of December. It takes the form of a street promenade in which the audience becomes the performer by playing composed, pre-recorded tracks through their phone and a portable speaker, or portable analogue play back system like a boom box! Think of it as caroling but with experimental, non-religious, holiday-adjacent sound art!

You can see a clip of it here:

We will walk for 45 minutes through historic Candler Park admiring the beauty of the neighborhood mixed with the immersive sound sculpture that is Unsilent Night. We will use First Existentialist Congregation of Atlanta as a meeting/stepping off point for the neighborhood walk.

Please feel free to bring lights, lanterns, and family and friends to participate!

Note: if you plan to bring a boombox or another analogue player please reach out to us early to let us know, we have a very limited number of CDs and cassettes of the tracks available.

Immediately after the Unsilent Night walk, our friend composer and improvisor Majid Araim will be presenting his new opera "Regarding Bullfrogs and Universal Power Dynamics" at the First Existentialist Congregation at 8:00 pm. More information about this unique piece can be found here.
