Dear crowdfunders, I am delighted to announce that my album Alkhemy is finally out! This is one of the projects I was working on in Iceland part of my ongoing research and set of works on the ecology of emotions. Thank you all so much for your support during this campaign in 2018, the funds raised really helped me in setting up an effective album release by working with a PR agent and much more. Alkhemy is released on our new eco-art record label and production company <a href="https://www.sacredsearecords.com/" target="_blank">Sacred Sea</a>. Make sure you follow us on our social media so you can stay in touch with our future projects. Here is the link to the album: https://wildanima.bandcamp.com/album/a-l-k-h-e-m-y We have created a limited edition "cassette + alkhemy ritual kit" that includes ritual cacao and an alkhemy ceremony that I designed myself that you can do while you are listening to the cassette. All of you will very soon receive your digital album download rewards from the campaign. I thank you all so much once again and hope you are all doing well! You can find more information on the album below this message. Much love and keep wilding! Wild Anima ________________ ALKHEMY https://wildanima.bandcamp.com/album/a-l-k-h-e-m-y Artwork "Physical love poem for land, in verse " by Julia Kukkonen. This album was partly developed during an artist residency in Iceland inspired by the reading of Stephen Harrod Buhner's "The secret teachings of plants: the intelligence of the heart in the direct perception of nature". It is part of an ongoing set of works focused on the ecology of emotions. I chose to spell alchemy with a "k" to recall another form of alchemy that which is created between performer and audience, between two individuals or in between the human heart and the planet Earth.

Hello dear crowdfunders! It has been a good while since the campaign ended and lots have been evolving regarding the making of my album project linked to ecology and sound. After the campaign ended I applied to a few grants and funding programs from Berlin and Paris but haven't been successful in that quest. I then had to reconsider the way I was going to produce my ideas and manifest the project. Last year I followed quite alot of workshops on how to release and promote an album efficiently learning and educating myself on the music industry and business. The money of the crowdfunding mainly helped that part of the process which was a tremendous help in growing my knowledge as an independent musician. Now I can easily explain what is the difference between a publisher or a distributor and am fairly confident in running an independent release campaign in the professional networks. As for the recording and production of the record I simply overcame my tremendous phobias and started doing it all myself with all the skills i have gathered throughout my musical journey! It has been an amazing adventure so far. The album I had in mind four years ago has now evolved in being three different parts, yes! There are three different "albums"! If we can call them this way some of those three parts involve more that the media of music but also film, litterature and art with very exciting beautiful artists i collaborated with from the United States, Finland and other countries. I am proud to annouce that the first part of this trilogy is now mixed and mastered and ready to be released in the next few months. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about your rewards and each one of you that requested it will receive a digital download of each one of the albums. In the meantime you will all receive a download code for my atest ambient compilation album with improvised live pieces I recorded all over the world during my travels. Thank you so much for your support once and again and I hope to meet you all soon for live performace whenever time and space allows. I miss you all. Stay tuned for upcoming news, stay safe <3 With all my love, Wild Anima

Hello dear all! The 1st 500€ goal has been reached, wow, I am beyond amazed and so grateful. Thank you all so much for your support, this means so much! I have now set a new goal to 2500€ which is the real budget that I need for the full recording and mixing of my album. A big thank you again and keep on wilding! Love, Wildie

I have gone through a lot of self battles to overcome being too judgemental about myself and learn to listen to the positive voices in my head rather than the really negative ones that mess up things in my creative and also personal life.

So today let’s listen to the maestro and take every bit of mistakes we think we make as blessings that show us we are human and that is what makes us beautiful. Imperfections are the blueprint of our uniqueness. Every bit of mistake builds up the masterpiece we are becoming <3 Thank you all for your support!

Raise The Frequency -- quote of the day #3. This quote has really shown me to follow my joy and go towards the things that nourish me in life. We sometimes have a tendency to priorities things that aren’t necessarily serving us and feed our stressful and worrying mindsets. Today let go of google maps, tune into your inner gps, the joy inside you can lead your steps to unexpected places and you might find yourself somewhere you didn’t even think of but that is the perfect place for your to be. When you let go of grasping and control over everything in your life you might find that the universe will bring you much better plans than the ones you had set for yourself. Trust the process, you are not alone. As it is also a day of celebration of life and death, may our joy be a flame in remembrance and celebration of the ones gone to other realms, the ones to come to join us and for ourselves to remember how lucky we are to experience every minute on this twisted but still magnificent world. Thank you all for your support!

Raise The Frequency - quote of the day #2: Today take a moment, put yourself in the present and focus on the positive aspects of your life. Sometimes we wait for an event in the future that will set us free. We think that when this happens we will be happy. Like waiting for friday afternoon after a week at work. Or waiting for holidays to enjoy our life. We have set our mind to be in expectation of a better moment in the future and sometimes pass by the amazing moment we are experiencing right now in the present. Whether it be a glimpse of sunshine or just the smile of a stranger. We have the ability to change this way of perceiving things and enjoy this very moment just like it was a friday afternoon, when we can let go and have fun.

Hello San Francisco! Here we go! Raise The Frequency! I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to play at this year’s International Live Looping festival in California and absolutely wanted to share this adventure with all of you and send you some magic from here. It is also an occasion for me to expand a little more from just creating music and doing a crowd funding. Every week I’ll be sharing quotes to give you some inspiration to uplift your spirit. They are mainly quotes that had a huge influence on me to change my perspective on my everyday life. This one has definitely been an enormous influence on my life in my early twenties and has led me into amazing adventures until this day. Being in California is a real teaching raising all sorts of thoughts about living the truth of who you want to be and honoring the eco-system as part of daily life, creating our own paradise but also realising the truths about the big paradoxes and limits of our system. I wish you all a great day and… as it is stated this week, "Expect nothing, everything is possible". Thank you all for your support! ♡
