Guide to Sounds of Oxfordshire

It has been six months in the making but now BBC Oxford, OCM and the Arts Council's Made in England fund are proud to present Sounds of Oxfordshire.

Our composer in residence Robert Jarvis has taken in the raw materials sent in by you to create this stunning installation.

Use the listening guide below to follow the sound artwork produced using sounds collected from around the county.
