Stratford: Echoes of Memory and the Present
This soundwalk moves through Stratford’s familiar spaces such as the campus, library, courthouse, and favorite local spots like Jen and Larry’s, Balzac’s, and Sirkel Foods. It also pauses at Memorial Gardens for reflection. Each stop highlights the everyday sounds of footsteps, chatter, and traffic, layering the present moment with echoes of memory. The sound of an ice cream shop may spark nostalgia while the courthouse grounds remind us of history carried into the now. By blending past associations with live listening, this walk transforms ordinary places into a shared story of Stratford where memory and presence overlap in sound.
