We translate the digital heartbeat of songs into one-of-a-kind artworks to raise money for nonprofits addressing the world’s most pressing problems.

Soundwaves is art with a cause, raising funds for partners providing aid to War Child UK and Children in Conflict. 

Founder and artist Tim Wakefield creates unique, colorful, digital art from the soundwaves of songs, collaborating with some of the biggest names in the music industry. These one-of-a-kind pieces are signed by the musicians and offered for sale. 100% of the proceeds from the sales are donated to charity.

The impressive roster of musicians slated to add their signatures to the cause includes REM, The Cure, Elvis Costello, Barbara Streisand, The Pixies, Linda Ronstadt, NINE Inch Nails, Eric Clapton, and many others.

Since the war in Ukraine started, Tim has been focused on raising more funds for the Children in Conflict Ukraine Emergency Appeal. To date, Soundwaves Art has raised more than $250,000.

To raise awareness as well as funds, Soundwaves hosted the Hearts For Refugees event on 17th June in their beautiful new gallery in Lockhart, Texas. The event drew local artists, and musicians from Austin, as well as some heavy hitters from Austin City Limits, and raised $7000. 

Tim’s artwork for David Bowie’s song Heroes was reimagined in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. This limited edition art, signed by Tim, was created solely to raise awareness and funds for Children in Conflict. 

For the event, the image was superimposed on a local craft beer label, and the colors were repeated in jewelry designs and other merchandise for sale. All profits from the sale of these items go to Children In Conflict funds for children and families fleeing the war in Ukraine.

How You Can Participate

At the core of Tim’s original art creations are the one-of-a-kind pieces signed and embellished by the collaborating artist. These can sell for anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars. However, there are two other categories, signed prints and unsigned prints, which allow fans to participate at a level that fits their budgets. Each piece, whether signed by the musician or not, is numbered, and all are signed by Tim.
