A museum for what’s missing — and an Awwwards Site of the Day, too.

UNESCO’s Virtual Museum turns absence into presence. Press Play On Tape designed an adaptive sonic ecosystem where music evolves in real time, responding to the regions and collections explored. Blending original score, sound design and UI sounds, we shaped a living soundscape that guides visitors through stories of loss, memory and cultural identity.

Sonic Memorial
How do you soundtrack what isn’t there? With restraint. We composed a musical language that feels like a living archive — present but never intrusive — letting history, memory and emotion breathe through sound.

Award-Winning Experience
Awarded Awwwards Site of the Day, the project proves that when adaptive design, purpose and craft align, even the quietest experiences can resonate loud enough to be recognized.
