Immerse yourself in an ever-changing moving body of water. Field recordings trace the movement of water as the River Lagan in Belfast intertwines with waterways in Wiltshire and Portugal, the sea in Greece, a thunderstorm in Mozambique and the sounds of the DRIFT structure itself – from the making process through to its current situation, floating upon the River Lagan.

Field recordings and 17m29s composition by Matilde Meireles (DRIFT collective)

Movements of water between atmosphere, land and sea is a work created for DRIFT, a project that investigates the city's disconnected and utilitarian approach to its waterfront, drawing out the complexity of exchanges between people and the waterway. At the heart of the project is DRIFT Space, a floating ‘instrument’ that draws attention to the river in new ways by enhancing the multi-sensory experience of being on the water.

DRIFT is a project by OGU Architects and MMAS with sound artist Matilde Meireles.
