The Raw Space Beam - Raw Space, 2017

  • Beatie Wolfe

Following its launch from the quietest room in the world, Raw Space was beamed into space via the historic Bell Labs Holmdel Horn Antenna, which was used to prove the validity of the Big Bang theory. Nobel Prize winning scientist Dr Robert Wilson (who discovered Cosmic Background Radiation) made the first update to this Historic National Landmark in 50 years to make sure the music of Raw Space got past the earth's atmosphere and into outer space. The Raw Space Beam was not the studio version of the album, but the raw anechoic version (no reverb, EQ or audio enhancements) recorded in the Nokia Bell Labs Anti-echo Chamber – Wolfe’s idea being that for the first time, raw anechoic sound would enter raw space as a true reflection of our humanity at a time of increased airbrushing, auto-tuning and AI

Raw Space Enters the Rawest Space

Beatie Wolfe beamed her album Raw Space into Space using the historic Holmdel Horn that proved the Big Bang and with the help of the Nobel Prize winning scientist, Robert Wilson, who made the discovery of CMB (cosmic microwave background radiation)
Robert had to make the first update to this Horn (which is classified a national historic landmark) in 50 years to make sure Beatie's music got past the earth's atmosphere and to our Galactic green friends
The broadcast was not of the studio version of the Raw Space album, but the raw anechoic recordings (no reverb, echo, effects)! The idea being that for the first time ever, the rawest and purest sound would enter the rawest Space
Not only was this the first time the Holmdel Horn has made a music x space broadcast, but it's also the first time that anechoic sound has gone into Space
Watch this [Raw] Space, the documentry will be preimiered at the LA Times Storytelling festival in 2018
