Wayword is
a brand I created for my senior thesis. The vision and purpose of Wayword in a nutshell is to preserve family history through storytelling.
On the record
The way in which Wayword would solve this problem, or need really, to preserve family history is by literally giving people the power to record their family history. Specifically the family’s oral history... More specifically it would be recorded on vinyl.
There are two ways individuals can record their stories. First of which is a physical location, and second is a “rolling recording studio,” if you will. The traveling studio’s purpose is to meet the people where they are. Traveling to cities that no physical location is present as well as going to storytelling conventions and festivals.
On Waywords website individuals can go back and listen to, or download their session anytime they want, because vinyl is great, but it might not be practical in all scenarios. This flexibility will allow individuals to easily share their sessions with their family and friends. The website is also where you can request more copies of your vinyls, custom printed vinyl covers as well as transcribed books/inserts of your session.
