This audio, captured using a payphone at Steinway Street and 30th Avenue, makes the already doleful Christmas classic “Silent Night, Holy Night” sound like a funereal, post-apocalyptic dirge. It’s like Christmas died but this one song just would not quit, rising mournfully above the intrusions of car horns and a payphone robot demanding another 25¢. I love sounds like this. The music both drowns under and remains intertwined with the chaos of the street noise and the static of the payphone’s copper landline.
