Yil Lull Studio ('To Sing') is named after the song by legendary singer-songwriter Uncle Joe Geia

Opened in May 2021 Yil Lull Studio is a free Indigenous led recording studio housed at the ANU School of Music. Yil Lull is the centrepiece of the ANU School of Music's Grand Challenge project, a project that is both local and national, that serves the local Indigenous community as well as making music for Indigenous musicians – no strings attached. This project states within the prism of action research that the ‘National University’ has a responsibility to support Indigenous health and wellbeing through music-making.
