ARTIST WITH NO NAME
A story still
unfolding.
Twenty-one. A guitar. The next town.
And a life that finds its way into song.
Or turn the corner for a six-page introduction.
AN INTRODUCTION
A guitar.
A life between towns.
ANN carries her world from one place to the next. In the songs, ordinary roads become choices: what to hold on to, when to leave, and how to begin again.
Follow a young storyteller through music, moving scenes and written pages. Eric offers glimpses of the woman he met; her songs leave room for you to find something of your own.
THE CHARACTER
Her hands know
the song.
ANN is twenty-one. She busks, plays clubs and moves between towns. Sometimes a hotel. Sometimes an aunty’s place. She rarely stays long.
She can be lost in the music and thinking about where she’ll sleep tonight. Capable. Guarded. Still able to enjoy a song.
HER VISUAL WORLD
Natural, understated and cinematic: denim, a well-travelled guitar and quiet expressions. A young woman absorbed in the music, rather than performing a smile for the camera.
THE SOUND & THE STORYTELLER
Hear her world.
Moody alternative with a lo-fi indie pulse, dark acoustic guitar and melodic rap. An intimate female vocal carries the story with the easy cadence of someone telling you what happened.
Dead Ends — Roads & Bridges · 80 BPM
ERIC · A BRIEF NARRATOR EXCERPT
Eric spent time with ANN, but never learned her name. His voice opens the door; the songs carry you through.
FROM WILL WEHI
I have a story
I need to tell.
For now, I’ve put aside the pen, the brush and my guitar. Never for good. I was brought up with those tools, and I will always go back to what I know.
The keyboard is a gateway to new ways of painting my canvas: through sound, through pictures, through words.
This is my story, portrayed using the digital tools we can use today. Placed here for anyone who wishes to see it.
