SHE'S EXCITED!
"A one-woman multimedia experience"
The sound artist and producer She's Excited! (Anne Wichmann) creates music influenced by the versatility of David Bowie, the extravaganza of Grace Jones and the multi-media magic of Laurie Anderson.
Anne's genre-bending Indie Pop invites the listeners to explore dark corners and bright reflections of this multifaceted world we all live in.
With her interactive showcases she transforms the audience into performers and invites them to participate in sonic journeys through different elements and worlds.
"Moments of Sonder is a testament to Wichmann’s boundless creativity. It’s a kaleidoscope of sounds and emotions, each track a vivid portrait of the human experience. From the ethereal beauty of “Perforated” to the pulsating energy of “FOREAL,” she defies categorization."
Dance music isn’t all the stuff of the neon-lit clubland, of day-glo sounds and the glitz and glamour of the high life. In fact, it is better when it isn’t that simple or that conformist. It is better when it has something to say and when it has a dark streak running through it and a more menacing edge is in evidence. And, if you want to know what that might sound like, you can do a lot worse than listen to Moments of Sonder, the new one from She’s Excited.
*PRESS
The darkwave and IDM-laced Shock Therapy is heavy, futuristic and full of collaborations including both remixes and a “visual EP” on YouTube which also makes it an art installation. Inspired by the apocalyptic energy of the COVID lockdown in New York City in 2020, the EP is a snapshot of what Wichmann can accomplish and, potentially, where IDM and Augmented Reality art are headed next.

I should note that even without the blood relation, these two (Anne & Volker Wichmann) would probably have fire chemistry simply due to the fact they are wicked talented in both their respective creative mindsets. They get that you’re supposed to have fun making music… and you can hear the good times abundantly clear throughout this quick album. (EMCEE)

"With a superior strength for bristled sonic homage, as well as the best of great rock ‘n’ roll intentions, superWAV score a musical three pointer in a league only slightly below heroes PJ Harvey and pre-game Jack White." (emcee)

*ABOUT
She’s Excited! is the artist name of the award-winning Indie Pop producer, powerhouse performer and sound artist Anne Wichmann based in Brooklyn and Munich. With an appetite for intelligent and genre-bending music of icons like David Bowie and Laurie Anderson, she listens to music defined by limitless imagination rather than genre. This bleeds into her versatile style of dark yet sparkling Electronic music productions that she often merges with empowering and uplifting words.
Anne also designs and produces interactive immersive showcases that break down the barrier between audience and artists. She is passionate about creating works that are easily accessible: for audiences that are not familiar with new technologies and/or people who cannot afford new electronic devices. Anne aims for her work to be socially relevant by bringing together different communities to reverse polarization and by addressing pressing topics like climate change and immigration.
She’s Excited! is a solo project, yet Anne collaborates with singers, musicians, producers and artists at home and all over the globe.
In 2020 Anne co-founded the artist and curatorial collective XRE (Extended Reality Ensemble).
In 2021 she co-founded ARORA, a network of digital monuments for a more inclusive world.
