You'll be immersed in a hidden world of sounds that respond to your location and movement. Put on your headphones, download the City Symphony app and wander. Brisbane will never sound the same.

City Symphony is a video game music engine taking location and motion data from your phone and combining it with environmental data to create your unique music and story experience. As you listen, you'll meet hundreds of musicians, artists and Brisbane community members. You'll hear about Brisbane past, its people and their hopes for the future.

1. Enable locations on your device
2. Put your phone away, put your headphones on, then
3. LOOK UP – BREATHE DEEP – LISTEN

Now you are ready to explore the hidden sounds of Brisbane!
