In this episode Myki talks with guest Beatie Wolfe. Vice calls her "a musical weirdo and visionary" who combines science, technology, and sound into her music projects. We talked about her ability to beam music directly into space, her project "Raw Space", and an art collaboration called 'Postcards For Democracy' that everyone can participate in!
BEATIE BIO:
“Musical weirdo and visionary” (Vice) Beatie Wolfe is an artist who has beamed her music into space, been appointed a UN role model for innovation and held an acclaimed solo exhibition of her ‘world first’ album designs at the V&A Museum.
Named by WIRED as one of "22 people changing the world,” Beatie Wolfe is at the forefront of pioneering new formats for music that bridge the physical and digital, which include: a 3D theatre for the palm of your hand; a wearable record jacket - cut by Bowie and Hendrix’s tailor out of fabric woven with Wolfe’s music - and most recently an ‘anti-stream’ from the quietest room on earth. Wolfe is also the co-founder of a “profound” (The Times) research project looking at the power of music for people living with dementia.
The Barbican recently commissioned a documentary about Beatie Wolfe's pioneering work titled, Orange Juice for the Ears: From Space Beams to Anti-Streams.
