Orange Juice for the Ears with “musical weirdo and visionary”
(Vice) Beatie Wolfe explores the power of music across Space,
Science, Art, Health, Film & Technology by talking to the
leading luminaries in each field from Nobel Prize winners to
multi-platinum producers and hearing the music that has most
impacted them, their “Orange Juice for the Ears”. Beatie Wolfe is
an artist who has beamed her music into space, been appointed a
UN Women role model for innovation, and held an acclaimed solo
exhibition 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 vinyl
for the palm of your hand; a wearable record jacket – cut by
Bowie/Hendrix’s tailor out of fabric woven with Wolfe’s music –
and most recently the world’s first live 360 AR 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.
