A holiday audio journey experienced in cities around the world will return to North Adams for the second straight year Thursday.Phil Kline’s electronic composition titled Unsilent Night features four different tracks handed out on cassette tapes, CDs and MP3s in roughly 100 cities over the past two decades. People carrying or pulling boomboxes in wagons hit play at the same time and music fills the streets as they walk throughout the city. Kline tried it out for the first time in New York City in 1992.
“It’s just the piece and the way it makes people feel that’s doing the work, not me,” Kline said in North Adams in 2014.
With the help of Frog Pond Creative, Kline will return to North Adams Thursday. The event starts at 5 p.m. at MASS MoCA.
