الملخص: | This article introduces the project Sunnyside, an album and composition created using extended recording
techniques inside the domestic space of my home during the initial Covid-19 lockdown in Belfast in 2020. While
there was widespread public discourse around the ways in which public and outdoor spaces were changing during
the pandemic, there was relatively little discussion concerning the changes occurring in indoor and domestic
spaces. Sunnyside was an attempt to sense, analyze, and represent those changes and examine what they might
mean. The following discussion draws on ideas of critical phonography, systems theory, situated knowledge, and
interconnectivity to illustrate the project’s refusal of the physical boundaries of the home under lockdown. This
critical reflection on everyday routines underscores the project’s relationship with memory, place, and the sonic
documentation of everyday personal auditory experiences while opening up a discussion about social networks,
both immediate and distributed.
