An intimate and historic documentary commemorating the life and history of The World Trade Center and its surrounding neighborhood, through audio artifacts, rare recordings, voicemail messages and interviews. The Sonic Memorial Project was produced by The Kitchen Sisters in collaboration with NPR, independent radio producers, artists, writers, archivists, historians and public radio listeners throughout the country.

The\\xa0Sonic Memorial Project\\xa0began in October 2001 as part of the\\xa0Lost & Found Sound\\xa0series. We opened a phone line on NPR for listeners to call in with their stories and audio artifacts relating to the Sept. 11 attacks and the history of the World Trade Center. Hundreds of people called with testimonies and remembrances, music and small shards of sounds.

Combining interviews, voicemail messages, audio contributions from listeners, oral histories, home videos and recorded sounds of all kinds, the\\xa0Sonic Memorial Project\\xa0team created a series of stories for broadcast on NPR\\u2019s\\xa0All Things Considered.

Now, these stories and contributions from listeners across the country can be heard at the Peabody Award-winning website\\xa0SonicMemorial.org\\xa0where you can\\xa0explore the archive, contribute your own sounds and stories, and immerse yourself in the Sonic Browser, an interactive soundscape of stories and audio fragments.
