his wine to classical music. and time to listen to young men play entire records live audiences. we all know that first impressions count and this applies to album covers as well so musicians often spend just as much time picking out the right album cover as they do recording just the right song and it's not uncommon for a famous artist to take part andy warhol damien hirst and get hired a star just a couple of big names who have produced album covers in the past are historian francesco spawn pinata from italy has been following this cooperation for years which he documented in a book. brick holds maybe old school but these album covers will never be out of date collector's items designed by a list of one of the best known this record sleeve for the building on the ground

by the pool. he's going to be the best known that i could go to buy the stuff and it was one of the first recall that's that. as it was use it to sing her band smile and it's like photographing both rates and. then he chose a name for the day option like. francesco's spam bin outro is an art historian brickell collector and author of a book called covers. and fall of presenting five hundred covers an album spine visual artist from the nineteen fifties through to today it's bands many different musical genres and schools about. the earliest album dates from nine hundred fifty five jackie gleason's lonesome echo with a specially commissioned cover by salvador dali.

that there was not just seemed like a coffin it was an artwork and it's only right that he did so by putting his own seek not to it already very well. and also by publishing what the back and forth offer ema and police are checking answer and also assure that they show all. of the artwork provided. andy warhol signed his velvet underground album from nine hundred sixty seven original self up so one hundred fifty thousand euro. the beatles sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band appeared the same year the photo collage was by jamming with an peter gleick and it won a best album cover grammy. in the sixty's after a music worst because thieves for they soon got started bands on an artist to do that call that i think that. they identify that the production

they want to keep. it deeper to the music they make and which is something that may be design or some real estate or sometimes it cannot offer that they want something. portrayed for example rock and profound people patti smith law. to work with her close friend the photographer robert mabel full some bands use works of art but already existing sonic youth chose guess how to reach this candle painted five years before daydream nation came out in nineteen eighty eight. others helped themselves to works without asking me artist as with some of the forty compass featuring images by street artist banksy. and their asses for whom the album covers were really important genres keith haring did hundreds. some of these not particularly interesting in doing

for sure this is the way for. they way of working just not just bringing that artwork to wear white audience but also you know to to to expand their messages you know through different media. francesco works on his and follow g. for almost a decade people hundreds of albums he's a regular at this record shop in his hometown of bologna but also goes far afield on shopping sprees. they put them and different parts of the war but a lot of them in the nautica and go clean and. that means that lean depending on where i go when i cross someplace i always look for that cloth and. i always find sometimes. there's a three thousand candidate colors he chose five hundred for the book francesco is

confident that real physical records and their beautiful covers will enjoy even in the age of streaming i think that the book and i quote that the vinyl that i call the good thoughts against these uncanny feeling about a nation that is produced by the internet and digital technologies that would ace so in the sense i think that that i could call it as an app. we definitely survive . the record sleeve quite possibly one of the twentieth century's greatest campuses . he's known as the king of the waltz so it's perhaps only fitting that he should live in a castle. by at latest under ear doesn't just only castle but he also runs the world's largest private orchestra together with his musicians it's estimated that he has sold more concert tickets then be on say and while some find his shows

kitschy and pompous his extravagance is definitely part of the attraction where we met up with a you at home and musters. i. honestly you placed an adoring audiences the world over but this performance was in his home city of mass taste featuring opulent costumes and lavish backdrops his concerts are always good for a few surprises the concept that's very good every concert we put on it is a fresh beginning that we can never just go auto pilot or the mob we always get out and that's what lends us energy and that's good you know after that concert then we can bask in our success that we need lots of red wine to come back down to earth again of. his colleagues describe him a strict that say he has a good sense of humor and he's not only a violinist he's also the founder and conductor of the world's largest private

orchestra the yo hunched housework district which has about fifty musicians. at the listen or trumpet sounds different this time let's hear the other one the one the thoughts thoughts all go through it. your words. yes like the other ones are more italian brought it all down for. the first violinist funk stein's met about twenty five years ago the orchestra thrives on a spirit of teamwork and collaboration. in auckland i remember

once when we were in auckland new zealand we were in a hotel and it was raining without end i went to andres room which had a piano and we started playing me on the piano and him on the violin. or if you haven't we compose four or five waltzes in a single day which we later recorded it off the moment when i was in these i'm. playing of the year it was born in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine and must next to a musical family he began learning violin at the age of five and went on to play in a number of dutch ensembles the turning point of his career came in one nine hundred ninety five when he performed during halftime at the champions league final between buying munich and i guess amsterdam afterwards his album sales over. little. later the newly anointed king of the waltz moved into a fifteenth century castle and must least. i always wanted

to live in a car song i was always my dream. i read tintin as a boy and in one of the books he and the professor sold an invention and bought a castle with the income. even then i thought oh how lovely i want to do that too it. doesn't that's where you go i don't. have a dream you should make it reality. into the best thing in life and i try to make my dreams a reality every day so. let us leave you found out dreams can go right in two thousand and eight he had a replica at the end as shouldn't one palace don't as a backdrop for a global tour it took more than two hundred containers to ship it to australia. that's what. it was too much a concert to much and i went bankrupt. later i was here in this very room with a bang guns who were saying. one else can we take away with us but one of them said

no let him keep performing that's the only way we'll ever get our money back. i promised my wife i'd never have to do things again. today's news operation is back on its feet again over the past few years he's toured on five continents that's meant hiring four separate teams each in charge of their own stage backdrop . designs his own costumes which are then made to measure in multiple copies his son who's also his manager says it's a far cry from the early days. i still remember how we used to paint the music stands in our living room thirty years ago for i was five. when then later when he started the orchestra around that time my mother brother and i made sandwiches for

the intermission. among them. to boot him good luck. it's amazing the power we travel with seven chaps and. one thing has turned his passion for music into a multi-million euro business the king of the waltz and his true life fairytale corinne. all music evokes all sorts of emotions as we know and when you are in love it seems every song on the radio resonates with your heart and the same goes for when you're in heartbreak hotel well scientists have researched how music also affects non-human entities and now some vineyards are using classical music to help with the fermentation process of their wines. southwestern germany is home to many good wines and some are being produced with the aid of classical music.

wine grower custom boats from the town of hawkes that has been using this method since twenty eleven he took over his parents' vineyard in two thousand and six and later turned the operations around completely his musical line now accounts for more than half his production. where we have a twenty fourteen piano blong a dry white wine with it was treated with classical music and natural acoustics this treatment makes the wine creamy and full body but also fruity a fine forty for about ten weeks the wine tanks are exposed to selected compilations of music by for example brahms mozart or fawlty christiane boats calls his wine compositions eight p. sound inside his mouth it makes use of special technology. to come from all out to be perfectly normal audio cd and this ultra sound converter transposes the frequencies into ultra sound waves or solid and. other gratian transmitter conveys

these ultra sound waves to directly into the fermenting line the frequency of the waves is about two hundred thousand hertz ten times higher than what a conventional loudspeaker can produce. thanks to this vibration transmitter and the round stainless steel tank the vibrations are reflected take this as a mixing effect that keeps during the nice during that fermentation process it keeps the yeast in bacteria and suspension. and the result is that during fermentation the wind takes on a creamy air quality wood says i make a. nice this crucial for wine production it's what turns juice into alcohol. books now has quite a selection of wines treated this way in addition to rose and red wine. he also markets a recent. japanese scientist was

a real immortal has investigated the effects of hibernation is on liquids expose water to music and is convinced that this process produce different crystal instructions when the sample of water was subsequently frozen. exactly the same thing happens with why the liquid structure of the wine is altered making it smoother and more harmonious with more delicate food noticed that's the perceptible effect confirmed in wine tastings where people aren't told what they're drinking which they. call the bag a friend of the vintner came up with the idea of enhancing wine sound waves the musician and alternative health practitioner had already successfully treated his patients with vibrations. of. what works for the body influencing it with vibrations could also work with wide and i thought it must be more effective if you influence the molecules directly during the fermentation process. to do this we use the trick of applying the

ultrasound frequencies so that we can intervene much more intensely and deeply in these molecular structures. using sound studio software code that puts together various pieces of music to play to the wind to intensify the effect white noise is laid over the music to end his composition is ready. other vintners for example in south africa and italy also expose their wines to classical music they all have their own methods there's no scientific evidence that such wines are actually better but they do seem to be a hit with customers that's often been functional it has experience outlined tastings he's been to some and he and lecture on wine and health for more than fifteen years. growing herriot wine tastings with. people from all over the world. when the tasting includes wines treated with sound in about ninety five percent of

all cases the r. for instance that was exposed to music unfolds its qualities better. people taste the fruit much more intensely. but with or without music in the end what counts is what the wine tastes like. the flute as we know is an instrument normally associated with classical music but when british musician a thinly got his hands on one he saw another possibility namely beat boxing or is he calls it who think elite combines beat boxing with playing the flute and he showed us how he does it. when nathan lee plays it first sounds like classical flute but not for long. but.

he calls his mix of melodic tones and beatbox reddens slow thoughts and it's something very few musicians have mastered i've seen one of them. not like he used to meet bugs in a crazy man very. much appreciated can't. beat box using your mouth to imitate sounds and instruments is as much a part of london's underground culture as street art but nathan really developed his on the usual flute technique entirely on his own. you know. under the next. books but. how do you get to. the difference.

for two decades now believe he has been the pioneer of the flu vaccine he and his band the clinic perform regularly. nathan really used to be a construction worker his music career began when he was twenty and a friend gave him a flute. it's just it was an accident but it's played the flute but i picked it up and then i thought. this is amazing it's just such that you know some people think instruments that they said nice things it's just a nice thing to learn about. instruments. it was a. conduit for more creativity. literally left to. with other artists most recently he teamed up with a british band asian dub foundation. the

group boxer likes asian dubs mixture of musical styles he doesn't want to be pinned down to a single genre but hilda why i play. with a lot of my i don't know i like to put a lot of blue and a lot of dark in my in my tongue a lot because there's a lot of conifer. you know energy on the energy that that's good for me it's a good place for me to play with i.d.f. with. you know. going to lee's way of playing fascinates people whether on the street at home in london or on the internet videos of his performances have been seen millions of times. but nathan says he actually doesn't care too much what i don't think about his music. public consumption or not it's just a it's a meditation it's something a lot to do something on like

a joy to get pleasure out of nothing. nathan lee says he will never stop playing the flute whether at home or on stage with other musicians. to remember the days when you would have friends over to listen to a new album on the record player from start to finish you couldn't just hit the fast forward button or pick and choose which songs should be downloaded to your digital device now those certainly were the days but to tell you the truth i honestly cannot remember the last time i actually listened to a vinyl album however there is. is a place right here in berlin where people can sit down switch off and simply enjoy the music.

back in the days when vinyl was synonymous with records many people listen to l.p.'s from start to finish those days seem long gone. but mark and heart and we still remember them they founded a company called play time. we. can run to sixty or seventy minutes today listening to an entire work is a unique experience. reintroducing that to people and culture was our original idea . when it's a play time is on the billet a german cinema has here at the babylon movie theater in berlin visitors pay five euros to listen to a record in the company of others this evening's auditory treat is bob dylan's double album blonde on blonde.

listening to an entire album requires time and leisure these days few people make the effort. and today we're barely able to perform any activity for a long time we live into our cycles every two hours there has to be a new impetus whether it's going to the theatre the cinema visiting friends or having dinner everything sinked to this to our rhythm guitar then we need something new. the longing for life to slow down is growing people are doing lots of things to escape stress visiting spots taking holidays on farms and leaving their cellphone. behind when they go on a hike. this desire for things to slow down has become a train. this is serious no it's certainly still a nice trend but i think it'll become more important as people are already noticing

that many things in our time change too quickly or perhaps the multi option society of the last few decades has overtaxing to quite before dark. back into babylon cinema and berlin the album is about seventy minutes long not including the pauses needed to change the record yet none of the visitors leave before it's finished. it's from the citrine pleasant to listen to an album of the cinema and also it's very nice to be able to do it at the right value of the arms of the home you sit down and get distracted by some screen your mobile phone or whatever you're using to listen to the music. here you just get to listen to the music movies music i think this brings back the idea of music that we need to keep alive. in super interesting. play times inventors plan to present their concept in other major

european cities they want to keep the wheels turning but not to fox. and without it's time to sign off from this musical edition of your own mark but our wheels will be turning once again tomorrow and if you can't wait until then and just go to our web site to watch any of the reports again or follow us on social media for me and the rest of the crew here at euro max as always thanks for joining us and we're seeing again soon. on the next episode of duramax special to the table and of course from slovenia was named the world's best female shuts. off the. spliff find out what's cooking at a roller coaster restaurant in vienna. and from a cow on a london piste chef turns high fashion interests week to light all this and more
