Art: The Montagu Square Album Jacket - Fashioning Music Into Art: A Truly Tailored Album Release
The Montagu Square Musical Jacket is a reimagining of the record jacket and a truly tailored album release for the 21st century. Wolfe recorded her second album Montagu Square in the former home of Hendrix, McCartney, Ringo, Lennon & Yoko Ono, and in the room where Hendrix wrote ‘The Wind Cries Mary’ and McCartney penned ‘Eleanor Rigby’. This live recording was then translated (complete with its ambient sound, resonance of the room and audience applause) into a woven fabric by textiles artist BeatWoven and cut by tailor Mr Fish – who dressed Hendrix, Jagger and Bowie – into the first Musical Jacket of its kind. The Jacket has also been NFC-enabled, allowing people to hear the music of Montagu Square by tapping their phone onto the fabric. Wolfe saw the Montagu Square wearable album jacket as a truly tailored album release for the 21st Century.

Art: The Album Deck Of Cards (Montagu Square) - The World’s first intelligent album deck
In addition to her Musical Jacket, Wolfe released her second album Montagu Square as the world's first NFC Album Deck, which marked a new intersection between technology and music. The album deck comes as a pack of beautifully printed MOO cards, encased in a box reminiscent of a tape cassette, with each card corresponding to a track from the Montagu Square album and featuring the song’s artwork, lyrics and an embedded NFC chip. Listeners can simply tap the song cards to their phone to instantly play the track and access its content – liner notes, lyrics, artwork, music videos etc – which is being updated all the time, giving the album deck the feeling of a “living” or dynamic vinyl.
Music: Montagu Square - Second Studio Album
Montagu Square was recorded at 34 Montagu Square - the former home and secret studio of Hendrix, Ringo, McCartney, Lennon & Yoko Ono - and in the room where McCartney wrote ‘Eleanor Rigby’ and Hendrix penned ‘The Wind Cries Mary’. The music of Montagu Square has been described as "tender and confident" (Independent) beautiful chamber pop, reflecting the spirit of the flat's inhabitants, with 'Take Me Home' (a William Blake inspired love ballad) being a standout.
Research: Power Of Music & Dementia - The Question No One Was Asking... Is It Music Or Memory
The Power of Music & Dementia was a pioneering study founded by singer-songwriter and innovator Beatie Wolfe that was the first to look at the power of music unconnected to memory for people living with dementia. Since beginning the Power of Music and Dementia research project in 2014 Wolfe has been campaigning this cause and her research study has been: picked up by Stanford Research, the American Alzheimer’s Association & Oxford University and used to develop the charity Music for Dementia - to make music available to everyone living with dementia by 2020
