Health: Austrian Sound Inventor Walter Werzowa

Beatie Wolfe interviews Austrian sound inventor (of the ubiquitous Intel bong), film composer and HealthTunes founder Walter Werzowa about the power of music to heal, connect and restore, from dementia to depression. Listen to this dublab radio show that takes you from awakening to transcendence via the thread of music.

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. Wolfe is also the founder of a "profound" (The Times) research study looking at the power of music for people living with dementia.
