EP 33: Anne Wichmann on Infusing Electronics with Live Performance

"We cannot be in lockdown forever with this virus…we need events…we need art in our lives, and we need interaction with art and with music. More importantly, music cannot be taken for granted. We can make shows happen in a safe and positive way for everyone involved."In this episode of the "MFM Speaks Out," Adam Reifsteck interviews Brooklyn-based producer and powerhouse performer Anne Wichman about immigrating to the United States from Germany and finding a home in the New York underground Indie Electronica music scene. Topics also discussed include the issue of gender inequality in the music industry and creating opportunities in spite of a global pandemic. Anne Wichmann is known for her edgy indie Electronic Pop project She’s Excited! 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 ODESZA, 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 lyrics. She’s Excited! is a solo project, yet Anne collaborates with singers, musicians, producers and artists all over the globe.Visit Anne at shes-excited.com.The following music is featured in this episode:Opening track: "My Death (Is a Nice Guy)" by She's Excited!Middle track: "Manipulate” by She's Excited!Ending track: "Add Clarity” by She's Excited!Listen to three previous episodes featuring women in electronic music: Flaviyake | DeLaurentis | Jeannie Hopper CreditsProducer and host:  Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi aka SoSaLaPublisher: Musicians For Musicians (MFM), Inc.Technical support: Adam Reifsteck (MFM Board)https://musiciansformusicians.org
