Exploring the DIY artistry of self-releasing musicians
Editions of You celebrates and showcases self-publishing and self-releasing musicians and the handmade editions and releases they create. Taking the form of an exhibition, zine fair, live music events, talks and happenings, Editions of You at the O3 Gallery and Oxford Castle seeks to unearth the underground culture of DIY artistry that combines music with artwork.

Sleeps in Oysters Exclusive Single
To promote the Editions of You launch back in November, Sleeps In Oysters gave an exclusive track to OCM Downloads.
The track, 'February, regardless' is from the same sessions as their new album ‘Lo!’. It encapsulates winter with its sparseness, whilst the melody lulls the listener and a minimal clockwork toy style instrumentation unwinds to the track’s beautiful end. Listen to it online on our Downloads catalogue or buy it for portability.
To find out who is appearing when and where, and how to get your mitts on some of those oh-so-exclusive tickets keep your eyes on this event page.
Curated and programmed by the Oxford Brookes University Popular Music Research Unit, Oxford Contemporary Music and O3 Gallery, in association with Oxford Castle.
