From NPR's Lost & Found Sound:
The Peabody Award Winning Compilation
Shortly after September 11, 2001, NPR's Lost & Found Sound brought together radio producers, artists, historians, archivists, and the public broadcasting community to collect and preserve audio traces of the World Trade Center, its neighborhood and the events of 9/11. Lost & Found Sound and NPR set up the Sonic Memorial phone line (877-894-8500) to record your stories and collect audio contributions.
The response was remarkable and moving. We never could have imagined all that is out there-tapes of weddings atop the World Trade Center, recordings of the buildings' elevators and revolving doors, home videos made by a lawyer in his 42nd floor office, sounds of the Hudson river front, recordings of late night Spanish radio drifting through the halls as Latino workers clean the offices, an interview with the piano player at Windows on the World, voicemail messages from people who worked in the World Trade Center.
Hundreds of people from around the world have called offering their recordings-making this a dramatic, unprecedented audio archive of immediate, first-person accounts chronicling a historic event from almost every vantage point. These recordings, along with interviews gathered by radio producers across the country, are presented in this collection of stories broadcast on NPR during the year following the attack.
The archive and project continue online at The Sonic Memorial Project.
