Sonic Babylon

We're a social network, a website, and a hanging garden of invisible sound, surrounding the world with music, sounds, and stories, local and universal, ancient and of tomorrow, accessible on mobile devices as you visit or pass through.

The sound gardens begin in Australia in July 2009 with 3 gardens for the Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre (Griffith University), and continue with a permanent garden in the inner courtyard of the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra, celebrating their 25th anniversary and National Sound Day, in August.
