    Oxburgh Fragments was originally created as a site-specific commission for the exhibition Fresh Interventions at Oxburgh Hall, a Tudor manor house in Norfolk, UK, 14 Apr - 28 Jun 2007.

    It is a series of ambient music compositions inspired by the Tudor history of the site. Field recordings of birdsong and flowing water made in the grounds of the Hall are combined with traditional classical instruments and synthesized electronic tones.

    The use of conventional sounds alongside cutting-edge production techniques creates a fusion of history and technology, tradition and modernity, and forms a poignant exploration of notions of memory, nostalgia, loss and disappearance.
