Anne Lister Beats

What if Anne Lister's journal confessions were embodied in music? What if musical composition could serve as a form of historical interpretation? And what, we might dare to ask, might Anne's heartbeat sound like in stereo?

Welcome to Anne Lister Beats, where confession meets musical composition. This channel turns Anne’s life, obsessions and words into music — from original songs to sonic interpretations of her world.

Here, history and imagination collide. Diaries become lyrics, cryptic notes become melodies, and Anne’s sharp wit, fierce intelligence and daring life are refracted through beats, harmony and rhythm. I remix the archive, transform confession into composition, and ask: what would Anne sound like if she had a soundtrack?

Think: intimate journal entries meet studio session, with the intensity, clarity and audacity Anne embodied.

Whether you’re here for the music, the story, or the collision of past and present, Anne Lister Beats is where history hums and journals sing.
