Trace Yourself is a DNA album of Indian origin Sound composer Akanksha Krishnani-produced and supported by and during her time as an artist in residence at the emblematic Fabrica Research Centre in Italy. The album is a collaboration with six other electronic artists whose DNA was tested , then an algorithm was created for each artist to create a soundtrack on the basis of the results: it’s almost asking the question : What does your DNA sound like? The idea behind the album is to show different emotions and phases we as humans go through and to highlight the fact that we are way more similar than we actually think and nationalities, borders , confines are just labels created by society. The album is shot entirely in Fuerteventura over six chapters and will be released this Summer.
Akanksha Krishnani has composed soundtracks for brands like Bvlgari, United Nations, UK Climate Change committee and Deseos – Fuerteventura’s super app to name a few. You can listen and watch her work below.
