Awesome musical tradition

Phil Kline’s “Unsilent Night” is like a Sixties Happening updates for us modern world. For just an hour, people from all walks of life are drawn into a mesmerizing soundscape community comprising participants, passive listeners, and chance passers by. I’ve been doing it pretty regularly from fairly early on.

Watch out for Auto-lock!

I love mobile sound art! But be sure you turn off screen Auto-lock during a performance or the sound from the app will be cut off! Not good during the event. This should be fixed or warned about in the instructions.

Basic app; seems OK

If one came late to an UnSiNi event, or was an impromptu participant, one might wish for a way to jump to current point in the piece.

Also, I see the app volume control doesn't respond to hardware control changes.
