Ana Scotney in high definition
Ana Scotney (Ngāti Tāwhaki, Ngāi Tūhoe) released her first single as Kōtiro last year, and now she’s dropped the full-length EP, Hi-Def Multinational. She chats to producer Thomas Arbor about concept albums, asymmetry and the smallness of long-distance walking.
Ana Scotney is a rising star of the stage and screen, a creator of theatre, art and zines, and an experimental musician who has just released an EP as her alter-ego, Kōtiro.
You’ll have seen her as the hilarious and scene-stealing Sepa in The Breaker Upperers, or perhaps in the critically acclaimed shows Mr Burns and The Contours of Heaven. Soon she’ll be hitting the big screen again as Mata in the feature film Cousins, adapted from the novel by Patricia Grace.
