Stravage Sound Diary by Stravage

Inspired by the word stravage, which in Scottish and Irish means to wander aimlessly, this project represents the aimlessly wandering emotions of moving abroad through sound, poetry, and visuals. It explores personal questions such as why am I here, what is my way, how to get a community, and how to deal with a long-distance relationship. Sound recordings of the city of Brno and different social situations were transformed into four ambient tracks. These tracks (Long Distance, Home, On My Way, and Euphoria) were enriched with written and vocalized poems, reflecting personal feelings and emotions. Each track is visually represented through unique cover art and stop-motion video spots, deepening the emotional impact with layered imagery. The project presents these tracks as individual experiences within a digital mind map. Users interact with the page, exploring emotions, listening to tracks, and uncovering a layered narrative of relocation and self-discovery. This approach offers creative, multimedia documentation of the journey, resonating with the aimless yet purposeful wandering captured by the concept of Stravage.

Hey

Hey explores the complexities of deep connections across distance. How do we adapt when the comfort of a loved one becomes only a screen and an electronic voice? This poem reflects the longing for love and the adjustments of navigating a long-distance relationship.
