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, and multi-channel audio works.
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, ultrasonic pulses, and the architecture of radio signals.
Matilde also has wide experience in community-driven projects, as well as critical and creative listening workshops. Working with youth groups, festivals and cultural institutions, her projects and workshops explore listening as a creative and critical practice, and are an invitation to sit with one's own positionality in the act of recording.
