Am 21. November 2006 rief Bill Drummond (The KLF) den No Music Day aus.
Einen Tag lang soll jeder auf Musik verzichten, um sich der Grundbeschallung zu entsagen und der Bedeutung von Songs und Tönen wieder bewusst zu werden. Laut Drummond ist No Music Day an aspiration, an idea, an impossible dream, a nightmare.
Das offizielle Manifest liest sich so:
- on no music day:
- no hymns will be sung
- no records will be played on the radio
- ipods will be left at home
- rock bands will not rock
- conductors will not take the podium
- decks will not spin
- the needle will not drop
- the piano lid will not be lifted
- films will have no soundtrack
- jingles will not jangle
- milkmen will not whistle
- choirboys will shut their mouth
- recording studios will not roll
- MCs will not pass the mike
- brass band pratice will be postponed
- the strings will not serenade
- plectrums will not pluck
- record shops will be closed all day
- and you will not take part in any sort of music making or listening whatsoever
- no music day exists for various reasons, you may have one
Trivia
- Bill Drummond wählte den 21. November, because the 22nd of November is Saint Cecilia's day. Saint Cecilia is the patron saint of music. In many countries the 22nd of November was the day chosen to give thanks for and to celebrate the existence of music.
