Phil Kline is a composer whose works range from sound installations to orchestral music. He graduated from Columbia in 1975 with a degree in English and, in 1992, he created Unsilent Night, a boombox parade that happens all across the U.S., Canada, and England. This year, the New York date is set for Dec. 15. The Eye sat down with Kline to discuss the performance of Unsilent Night, the composition’s role in Bush v. Gore, and Philip Glass.
