In a time where human contact is restricted for safety reasons, contact in this work takes place by \u00e2\u20ac\u201d literally \u00e2\u20ac\u201d listening closely to the sounds of objects which are very much part of my domestic daily life. During April 2020, I collected a series of sounds around my house on Sunnyside Street (Belfast, NI) including a wide variety of textures captured with different types of contact microphones, and multiple layers of electromagnetic interference caused by the growing use of electronic devices and the internet. These recordings form the basis of an exploration of the micro and extra-human sounds produced by the physical and virtual objects such as the radiator, the kettle, the shower, or the internet.\u00c2\u00a0Sunnyside\u00c2\u00a0intertwines these elements to reinforce repetition, discovery, detail and loss of perception of time that characterises the experience of many during our current life in confinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matilde Meireles<\/a> is a recordist, sound artist, and researcher who makes use of field recordings to compose site-oriented projects\u00c2\u00a0focused on sound. Her projects often have a multi-sensorial approach to \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsite\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 which draws from her studies and experience in areas\u00c2\u00a0such as field-recording, site-specific visual arts and design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She completed a PhD in Sonic Arts at the Sonic Arts Research Centre, Queen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s University Belfast. She was also appointed as a Research Fellow on several projects at Queen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s examining the role that immersive technologies can play in the development of new digital narratives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her work often highlights collaboration and participation as catalysts for a shared understanding of place, developing project-based or\u00c2\u00a0long-term collaborations. Matilde is also part of OSSO Colectivo, an interdisciplinary collective based in Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
