And finally, \u201cFour\u201d is taken from a live performance on the DRIFT pontoon itself, featuring Meireles playing alongside percussion and tromba marina. These four compositions are brilliant in their own right, but taken together, they form a dazzling mosaic of the River Lagan and its crucial role in Belfast.<br \/><br \/>via <a href=\"https:\/\/daily.bandcamp.com\/best-field-recordings\/the-best-field-recordings-on-bandcamp-march-2026\">Bandcamp Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DRIFT\u00a0was a research and arts project commissioned by the city of Belfast to encourage interaction and understanding of the River Lagan.
