Phil Kline (born 1953) is an American composer, sound artist, and performer most recognized for his Unsilent Night (1992) and Zippo Songs (2004). Beginning as a guitarist and singer in the New York City art punk scene, Kline has since gained notability through his song cycles and theatrical works, musical performance art pieces, work with Bang on a Can, and WQXR new-music radio show New Sounds.[1][2][3] With five studio albums to date, a majority of his compositional work can be found on Cantaloupe Music.[4]

Education and Early Works

Kline was born in Akron, Ohio in 1953. After moving to New York City to pursue a degree in English literature from Columbia University, he enrolled in Mannes College of Music for a master’s program in music composition. In the late 1970s, Kline began his career as a full-time musician, touring internationally with the Glenn Branca Ensemble and later co-founding the no-wave, art-punk band The Del-Byzanteens alongside filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, author Luc Sante, and painter James Nares. Around this same time, he began scoring video projects by Nan Goldin and Wim Wenders.[5]

Career

As a continuation of his experimental work, Kline began creating tape-based sound installations for collections of boomboxes inspired by the work of Brian Eno, Steve Reich, and Glenn Branca. The first of these was called Bachman’s Warbler (1990), which was written for harmonicas and twelve boomboxes and premiered at Bang on a Can Marathon in New York City in 1992. These installations later culminated in his Unsilent Night (1992), which has since brought Kline worldwide recognition.[6]

Beginning in New York City, Unsilent Night is an annual Christmas-themed performance piece in which anyone may participate. Every December, as part of this performance, a volunteer parade carrying boomboxes and other music players passes through Greenwich Village, presenting an ambient cacophony made of recorded bells, harps, and other instruments blended with moments of historic Christmas hymns, chants, and carols. Since its premiere in 1992, the Unsilent Night tradition has spread to over 37 cities around the world, mostly in the United States and Canada, but also to major cities across Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia.[7][8][9][10]

Kline’s other notable work primarily includes song cycles and opera. Kline’s song cycles have historically had political themes, such as his Three Rumsfeld Songs, which borrow text from the Pentagon briefings of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld following the September 11 terrorist attacks and during the War in Iraq. The source for Kline’s Zippo Songs (2004), the song cycle for which he is best known, comes from U.S. government-issued Zippo lighters from the Vietnam War, on which some soldiers etched short sayings or poems. These sayings and poems, compiled into Zippo Songs, therefore offers a lens into the social, spiritual, sexual, and emotional lives of these American Vietnam War soldiers. Zippo Songs was written for singer Theo Bleckmann, as well as for violin, percussion, and guitar.[11][12] Kline's lounge-inspired, staged song cycle Out Cold (2012)about the desperation of lost lovewas also written for and performed by Bleckmann.[13][14]

More recently, Kline has delved into the opera genre with his Tesla in New York, which explores the life and works of inventor Nikola Tesla, in collaboration with filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, a colleague from their band The Del-Byzanteens.[15][16][5]

Other than these projects, Kline’s work includes continuing commissions from Bang on a Can, American Opera Projects, the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, WNYC, the New York State Council on the Arts, Ethel and Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, Jennifer Koh, Muzik3, the La Jolla Symphony Orchestra, the St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble, and for the Kotschmar Memorial Organ in Portland, Maine. Furthermore, his works have had performances venues across the world including Lincoln Center, the Barbican Centre, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Royal Conservatory of Music of Toronto, The Whitney Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Kimmel Center, Trinity Cathedral, Symphony Space, National Sawdust, The Kitchen, and the Badlands National Park.[17][18][19][20][21][22]


Critical Reception

Throughout his career, Phil Kline’s music has been respected for its experimental nature. The New York Times describes it as having “the tonal richness of Barber, the austerity of Stravinsky and the harmonic piquancy of Ligeti,” and New York magazine has said that Kline “long ago declared independence from any musical Establishment.”[23][24]

Kline’s Unsilent Night has been called “a magical musical parade,” “a tribute to the joy of caroling" (The Village Voice), and “an ethereal sound sculpture” (The Guardian); it’s been noted for the “benign sense of wonder it instilled in observers” (San Francisco Chronicle).[25][26][27][28]

Furthermore, although Brian Olewnick (The Squid’s Ear) said that Kline’s Zippo Songs has a “lack of memorability,” Alex Ross (The New Yorker, The Rest is Noise) described this collection as “one of the most brutally frank song cycles ever penned,” and Anne Midgette for The New York Times described his it as “brilliant American lieder for the 21st century."[29][30][31]

Kline's contemporary adaptation of the Catholic Mass, John the Revelator (2006), was called "offbeat" and "moving" (The New York Times), and AllMusic called it "easily one of the most moving and engaging mass settings in recent memory."[32][33]
