The Department of Energy [DOE] investigates how the river as
natural occurrence influences the human environment both physical and cultural. Providing for
fresh water, infrastructure, trade routes, borders and hydroelectricity, the river has become vital to the human
environment. Water currents are worshipped through various religions and mythological narratives, varying from
all around the globe.
The Department of Energy translates the physical places of the river valleys
into audio experiences, supplemented with background and contextual understanding. The design takes an editorial
approach, supplementing the audio experience – that liberates the river from its physical limitations – with
background information on the local environment, tradition, nature, folklore, and mythological. The project
resulted in an ever emerging visual identity and the Aghavrick Acid compact disck
album that was released on the 10th of July 2020.
