AWMI WayfinderandThe One Who Rises Up
Help it rise
An invitation for sponsors, producers, presenters and partners.
A new kind of live show
AWMI Wayfinder and The One Who Rises Up is an immersive storytelling show of sound and light, with a companion album and a workshop. Alma, analog: soul, and the real thing you can hold. Each production grows from a place: its sounds, its stories, its headlines. The pilot proves the model. Then it travels.
The show moves like a tide: from the noise of the day, beneath the headlines into interviews and the sounds of real places, into nature’s story and the hidden tracks, then the frequencies of the Earth, breath and sound healing, and finally stillness. We take part all the way: in the feed, in the questions, in the breath.
Three phases
- Phase one · the pilotOne song, one place, and its B-side. The first workshop, and the first live show for a small room.
- Phase two · the first full productionThe full album with nature hidden inside, and the full live show.
- Phase three · thirteen moonsA series of place-based shows, each with its own album, its own place and its own partners. Each one helps the next one rise.
Sponsor the pilot
Every gift, of any size, goes straight into the pilot: building AWMI by hand, recording the first cassette, and opening the first show. Sponsors who want to go further can join as early producers. Let's talk.
