'Lagan:Behind' is a long-form composition that re-imagines the intricate, complex soundscape of the area around a particular wooden bridge, which links the Lagan towpath to the meadows – a route well known to Belfast’s walkers and cyclists.

We recorded extensively in a set location over a six-month period, allowing us to experience the sonic environment: an ever-changing rural scene alive with birdsong and the flowing Lagan, coloured with subtle reminders of its proximity to urban Belfast. Over time, various perspectives will slowly blend and develop.

‘Lough Foyle’ presentation formats:
- 58 minutes soundscape composition; Stereo
- 4 channel installation

'Lough Foyle' was conceived as a long-form headphone radio composition, commissioned by Resonance FM as part of their residency at Void Gallery during the 2013 UK City of Culture celebrations in Derry.

We recorded the sonic environment of various locations surrounding the Lough, using the recording process as a way of establishing a relationship with each location. Lough Foyle as a place of transition, a border.

Correspondence (Transition #1) is a an excerpt from a larger work entitled Correspondence that combines recordings from two different cities: Belfast and Rio de Janeiro. The composition explores unexpected similarities and variations in spatial density between two disparate sonic environments. The recordings open a dialogue, constructing a composition that maintains a sense of presence and initiates transitions between spaces not normally associated with either location. 

The recordings were made over a two month period between April and May 2014.

bunú is Aidan Deery and Matilde Meireles: sound artists and field recordists.We are interested in using field recording to explore particular places through extended listening – capturing the soundscape in order to reveal details of social, cultural and environmental significance, whilst concurrently paying attention to the physical characteristics of a given sonic environment.
