Unsilent Night at the Emporium
an immersive outdoor sound sculpture in downtown knoxvilleWe’re going to let the organizers of the event tell you all about this one:
Unsilent Night is a unique and immersive outdoor sound sculpture that has become a holiday tradition in cities around the world. Created by Phil Kline, this ambient music piece is experienced by the audience through a mobile app that synchronizes the playback of multiple recordings, creating a one-of-a-kind, moving sound experience. There is no experience or performance necessary — participants of all ages simply have to carry a Bluetooth speaker and walk with the group! An RSVP is encouraged, but not required — all participation information is on our website!
5:00 PM — Gather at the Emporium Arts Center on the 100 Block
5:30 PM — Activate composition via Bluetooth speakers and begin walking!
6:15 PM — Composition concludes – we will end up back at the Emporium!
6:30 PM — Watch the WIVK Knoxville Christmas Parade on Gay Street outside the Emporium
7:30 PM — Join us for an optional post-event hang at Barley’s Taproom & Pizzeria
