In this immersive concert using the IKO twenty-sided speaker, Matilde Meireles presents Four Tales, her upcoming album (to be releaed on Crónica records later on 10th March 2026) in which sound and architecture unite in conversation. Floating between documentation, imagined drifts and ecosystems, the concert will explore urban infrastructures and bodies of water as entangled entities to be carefully tended to.
The music expands on Meireles' work for DRIFT, a collaborative project with architecture studios OGU and MMAS, conceived as a "floating instrument": an open-ended public space fostering new perspectives on city-river connections. DRIFT was commissioned by Belfast City Council for the Belfast 2024 cultural programme.
About Matilde Meireles
Matilde Meireles is a sound artist and researcher 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.
