National Film and Sound Archive establishes Sounds of Australia, the National Registry of Recorded Sound

The National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) today announced the establishment of Sounds of Australia, a public registry of significant recordings that all Australians can participate in the creation of, which will grow each year, celebrating Australia's unique culture and history through sound. Renowned musician, composer and Australian Film Commissioner Paul Grabowsky is Sounds of Australia's 2007 patron. "This is a very exciting initiative from the NFSA," said Mr Grabowsky. "It acknowledges the importance of recorded sound in shaping our identity. There's no doubt that sound has the power to evoke memories and emotions in a very personal way."
