'Roger Doyle ought to be canonised. Those who have not heard his 'Babel' collection have missed a whole lot in life. What drama! A lot of composers are put to shame. They should all bow deeply for Roger Doyle. His music is warm, funny and richly elaborate' - Granslost magazine, Sweden.

Babel is a celebration of the multiplicity of musical language and evolving technologies. Released on a 5-CD set, each track corresponds to a room or place within an imagined tower city. It took Doyle ten years to compose (1989-99). He worked with 48 collaborators and produced 103 individual pieces of music for Babel. This CD building is designed for navigable listening.
