Meet Beatie Wolfe, a singer-songwriter who is certainly not one to follow the rules. Her musical development began from an early age, but she did not study music, she found it best that she learnt in her own way with piano and moving onto guitar and writing.
Beatie's debut '8ight' album is the world's first 3D interactive album app. Users can gain access to the full album as well as watch the music videos enhanced to create a 3D perspective.
Together with scientists, researchers and entrepreneurs, the project for audio insight to help dementia sufferers was launched. The study was carried out over 3 months, patients were played original material and had their reactions analysed.
The results: There was a great positive correlation between the sounds and the minds. 72% of the patients responded to music. There were also significant improvedments in communication and memory.
The team plan to create various workshops to further this scheme as well as a festival in early 2016.
