Sounds of Oxfordshire - a six month project bringing together sound artist Robert Jarvis, BBC Radio Oxford and Oxford Contemporary Music and the people of Oxfordshire.

Between April and October Robert will work with the BBC and its listeners to collect people’s favourite, most meaningful, or characterful sounds that somehow help define their county of Oxfordshire. Through an extensive outreach programme, people of all ages will be encouraged to submit descriptions of sounds that they find particularly appealing, perhaps because the sounds are special to an area, or defining of a particular time, or maybe because they are disliked, or in danger of disappearing. The sounds and the stories connected with them will be broadcast on radio, TV and online and eventually incorporated into a Kyma created score for radio broadcast, CD release, and a touring installation.
