SHE'S EXCITED!
Music Producer / Sound Artist / Curator
LETTERS WITHOUT BORDERS
How to talk about communication across the Atlantic Ocean through music: In this audio-visual piece I explore the Image2Wavetable software in Ableton Live and talk about my personal story as musician and immigrant.
INESCAPABLE ENTANGLEMENT
My sound installation at the Ars Electronica Festival 2022.
Inescapable Entanglement is a posthumous narration of the emotional reaction to the climate change crisis. We ask “How can technology serve us?” while acknowledging that “Solastalgia” (distress caused by environmental change) is on the rise in societies. At the intersection of performance (Chekhov’s play Uncle Vanya), AR (live climate change metrics), soundscapes and biometric data visualization of physiological responses, we invite audiences to discover possibilities of living on an intrinsically entangled planet. It is a collaboration of XRE and MEDIACOELI.
So excited that I received the Federal Assistance Award to write the soundscapes and music for the performance art piece as well as create an interactive sound installation.
Aurora – #MakeUsVisible
Why is gender diversity so shockingly absent from public sculptures? How can we start to make biodiversity visible in our public landscapes?
For the exhibitions in Munich and Venice I created two sound monuments – one for Jenny Marx featuring Gretta Louw and Clara Francesca and one for the Venice Lagoon featuring Clara Francesca.
I had the idea for this event in November 2021 and am super grateful that my artist collective XRE could realize it with the help of Clara Francesca, Katie Peyton Hofstadter, Pollinate Art and denkFEmale.
MOMENTS OF SONDER
I started working on my new album, look behind the scenes!
Recording vocals for "No Fortunes Left To Tell".
Recording gang vocals for the song "Perforated",
fusing English and German.
Creating space in the mix by adding reverb to "Perforated".
Designing my own instrument by using my vocals.
She’s Excited! is the Indie Electronic Pop project of producer and powerhouse performer Anne Wichmann based in New York City and Munich. With an appetite for intelligent and genre-bending music of icons like David Bowie and Björk as well as grooving Future Pop and Dark Electronica of artists like Billie Eilish and Purity Ring, she listens to music defined by limitless imagination rather than genre. This bleeds into her versatile style of edgy and dark yet sparkling Electronic Pop that she merges with empowering and uplifting words. She’s Excited! is a solo project, yet Anne collaborates with singers, musicians, producers and artists at home and all over the globe.
Her lyrics address social as well as deeply personal topics. Difficult situations are portrayed in a positive and motivating light without trying to dispel the darkness that is part of every life.
Her work is about empowerment and making space for the union of opposites so that both sadness and beauty can unfold.
In 2020 Anne co-founded the artist collective
XRE (Extended Reality Ensemble).
