Matilde Meireles
Matilde Meireles is a sound artist who makes use of field recordings to compose site-oriented projects. Deeply exploratory, blending improvisation and other sonic flows with multiple approaches to recording, her work takes shape through live performances, installations, album releases, community-driven projects, workshops and both academic and creative publications.
Matilde’s work embraces the inherent blurriness of field recording, acknowledging its varied interpretations and (mis)understandings. She also takes a multi-sensory, durational, and multi-perspective approach to site, exploring the potential of listening across different spectrums and scales to attune to diverse ecosystems and articulate multiple experiences of the world. Some examples include, complex water ecologies, resonances in everyday objects, the architecture of radio signals and the ways in which different communities engage with sound.
