Matilde Meireles’s “Loop. And Again.” reviewed by Anxious Musick Magazine
Loop. And Again. zagłębia się w dynamikę pól magnetycznych, skomplikowane układy okablowania i ich wzajemne powiązania ze zmianami w otaczającym krajobrazie.

Matilde Meireles’s “Life of a Potato” reviewed by The Sound Projector
Quite nice field recording cassette by Matilde Meireles…on Life of a Potato (CRONICA 180-2022), she proposes that we have taken the humble potato for granted for far too long and resolves to show us more of its life, as rendered in sound.
