The Omniscient Mussel

Unsilent Night Cambridge 2010

For readers living in the Guelph/K-W/Cambridge Ontario area, Unsilent Night is back again this year on Monday 20th December at 7pm. More deets ici

Miss Mussel went last year and made this video with her iPhone. It’s not exactly Pulitzer material but it should give you a decent idea of what the event is like.

OM Top Tip: work yourself into a crowd of people. If you loiter in the periphery, the sound collage doesn’t work so well. Also, it’s colder. Be a penguin. Huddle up.

If you live elsewhere, it’s likely that an Unsilent Night event will be happening near to you. Here’s the full schedule. It’s a great event to bring kids to. Nothing will warm the heart of a sullen teenager more than the chance to play music really loud on their mobile phone speakers.

On second thought….being allowed to do it will probably ruin the appeal. A chance to rock a 1980s boombox might grab their attention again though.

Update: New York Magazine has a much better video….like one with actual moving images.

On this day..
