2012.09.16 Silent street music "Discussion about religion and wall"
At Sanjo Big Bridge south-east corner, 6pm-8pm, with no audience 65% of the time.
Two young couples came one after another. In a couple, they took pictures each other with me playing in silence, taking a long time, and another couple did the same. Two couples of course didn't know each other.
Tonight there are a lot of people because of Sunday before holiday. At first, about 95% of the time no one listened to my performance, but I had a long discussion, so about 65% no audience.
A young female came and listened to my performance through wireless headphones. While she was listening, a male, may be a priest guessed by his head, came. He didn't listened, but may have curiosity on me.
After I finished the performance by showing ending and the young female clapped a little, he talked to me, and the discussion began.
"I studied the science of religion. About 10 years ago, it changed from researching spirituality of doctrine into researching that social communication about religion makes spirituality. Probably it's because of Aum group".
I said, "Concerning about religion, performers have been sharman mediating between God and people, but I think it's disappearing. My silent street music has double fields, that is, internal field with headphones and external field without headphones. External one cannot know internal one".
He said, "Religion so far have been having wall - you cannot enter easily. But new religion says that it's easy to enter inside the wall"
"Yes, my silent street have the wall, and almost all people cannot enter, but it's just wearing headphones like her".
A young female said, "Silent street music is like Kyoto. I'm from other district".

Silent street music without nuisance (laugh!)
A guy played an air keyboard having a sign "Silent street music without making nuisance" at Sanjo station. I looked his eyes by chance and laughed at his triumphant face. I gave in. http://yfrog.com/h4v2cijj
There was a person "Silent street music without nuisance. Please listen to by wireless headphones!" Novelty!
