SOUNDBYTES moved to the beaches of Long Island Sound in 1994. The shoreline setting of the new studio is surrounded by water and adjacent to an Audubon Society bird sanctuary. Douglas Babb, founder and director, finds it the perfect site to harbor SOUNDBYTES operations.

SOUNDBYTES is ideally placed for Babb to continue his exploration of the balance and relationships between music, technology and nature. Babb often works with "found sounds" and site and event specific themes and commissions. He frequently incorporates sounds recorded during his extensive travels and creates live performances which make use of unusual and/or natural spaces.
