Technology has become the beating heart of all forms of experimental sound practice. It would be wrong to suggest that music technology is the sole force in forms of sonic enquiry. As David Lynch once remarked, we have long had pen and paper, but how many great stories have been written. Despite this, the rate at which technology changes music innovation in the digital age means that any form of sonic enquiry is reliant on a constant engagement with the changing landscape of tools available.

With exception, the genesis of sound and music practice is no longer something that merely stems from our creative minds. It is an ever evolving stream of consciousness that circles in a feedback loop of creative engagement and tools. For this reason, our expertise is reliant on the work of other practitioners, software and hardware developers and the gatekeepers who relay such information. The wealth of information that is available to sound creatives is vast and gathering such information and staying informed becomes as much of an atoned skill as the practice itself. For this reason, there remains a need for a one-stop hub for sonic enquiry.

 

**SonicHub** is an online learning and sharing platform that allows people to create pieces of work can grow and take different directions.As Jaque Attali attests music is prophecy: "its styles and economic organisation are ahead of the rest of society because it explores, much faster than material reality can, the entire range of possibilities in a given code.”. This is reflected in the speed in which music technology grows and spreads but it is also prevalent in how we share our sounds and ideas. We live in an age where access to sound and music has become more open. Although the lack of a physical object to spread music has made it difficult for artist to proffer from their work, it has made it easier to share. To this end **SonicHub** provides a space for sound and music creation to grow and flourish. It is an online learning and sharing platform that allows people to create and organic open spaces where work can grow and take different directions. Alongside an insightful blog and forum a range of sounds, tutorials, academic books and journals serve as a resource for others to learn and share their experiences. **SonicHub** aims to promote and trace ideas providing inspiration through the trails of how work emerges from small ideas and develops as a result of rhizomatic learning.
