record covers designed by renowned artist. good vibrations a german prisoner closes his wine to classical music. and time to listen to young men play entire records to 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 famous artists to take part andy warhol damien hirst and gary hart with a star are 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. wrinkles may be old school but these. covers will never be out of date

thick as thieves for dad seemed a sort of man so commission an artist to do that call that i think that. they identify that the production they want to keep. it deep that. they may and which is something that may be designer somebody in the state or sometimes it cannot offer that they want something more. traits for example welcome profound diva patti smith like to work with her close friend the photographer robert mabel fole some bands use works of art but already existed sonic youth chose gary hart rishta scandal painted five years before daydream nation came after nine hundred eighty eight. others helped themselves to works without asking me artist as with some of the forty covers featuring images by street artist banksy. and the process for whom the album covers

were really important keith herring did hundreds. some of these not particularly interesting in doing this for sure this is the way for them they way a working just not just bringing it out work to white audiences but also you know to to expand their messages you know through different media. francesco works on his own follow g. from almost a decade people hundreds of albums he's a regular at this record shop in his hometown of bologna and but also goes far afield on shopping sprees. a book them and different parts of the war but the lot of them in new york and brooklyn and i book that meaning that lean baddies depending on where i go when i call some place i always. look for the cloth

and. i always find some ten. times or three thousand candide it covers he chose five hundred for the book francesca is confident the real physical records and the beautiful covers will enjoy even in the age of streaming i think that the book and i quote that the vine is not likely that a good deal it's against these uncanny feeling about the nation that is produced by digital technologies now with ace so in the sense i think that that i could call that is enough for we definitely survive. the record sleeve quite possibly one of the twentieth century's greatest canvassers. he is known as the king of the waltz so it's perhaps only fitting that he should live in a castle how did you buy it latest review it 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 and beyond say and while some find his shows kitschy and pompous his extravagance is definitely part of the attraction while we met up with only a year at home and must rest. 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 at all can contact us very good every concert we put on a fresh beginning we can never just go autopilot what might we always get without all that and that's what lends us energy and that's the after the concert that we can bask in our success on and that we need lots of red wine to come back down to earth again. his colleagues describe him a strict but 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 u. hunched house orchestra which has about fifty musicians. at the listen or the trumpet sounds different this time let's hear the other ones when the doors don't sort of sweet. you went. yes like the other one some more italian brought it all down for. the first violinist funk stein's met you 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 through having we compose four or five walters' in a single day which we later recorded it out of the moment i was in these i'm tired . lately it was born in one nine hundred forty nine and must be used to a musical family he began learning filing 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 thousand nine hundred five when he performed during halftime at the champions league final between buying munich and i had amsterdam afterwards his album sales or.

later the newly anointed king of the waltz moved into a fifteenth century castle and massed wished. 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 car so with the income. even then i thought oh how lovely i want to do that too that one. doesn't as we look all. the money at us well you have a dream you should make it reality. is that it's the best thing in life and i try to make my dreams a reality every day. 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 as a backdrop for a global tour it took more than two hundred containers to ship it to australia.

that's what's that's what's with it it was too much it cost too much and i went bankrupt. later i was here in this very room with a bank guards 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. again i promised my wife i'd never overdo 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 here 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 before i was five. then later when

you started the orchestra your just around that time my mother brother and i made sandwiches for the intermission. to boot. it's amazing the power that we travel with seven chefs. until you has turned his passion for music into a multi-million euro business the king of the waltz and it's true life fairy tale career. well 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. one grower custom boats from the town of hawkes that has been using this method since twenty eleven 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. units here where we have a twenty fourteen pino a dry white wine with there was treated with classical music and natural acoustics this treatment makes the wine creamy and full body but also fruity a fine for for about ten weeks the wine tanks are exposed to selected compilations of music by for example brahms mozart or fatality christiane but it's calls his one compositions a.p. sound inside his method makes use of special technology. to come from all out if i

play a perfectly normal audio cd and this ultra sound converter transposes the frequencies into ultra sound waves go solve it in. a vibration transmitter conveys these ultra sound waves 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. goodness remains new things to this vibration transmitter and the round stainless steel tank like 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 woods is. nice just crucial for wine production it's what turns juice into alcohol. because jim brooks 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 migrations on liquids he exposed water to music and is convinced that this process produce different crystalline structures when the sample of water was subsequently frozen. going out was what exactly the same thing happened with why the liquid structure of the. quarterback a friend of the vintner came up with the idea of enhancing wind sound waves the musician and alternative health practitioner had already successfully treated his patients with by gracious. what works for the body influencing it with vibrations could also work with y. 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 apply 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 has 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 sunk short his experience outlined tastings he's going to some of the end lecture on wine and health from more than fifteen years. going 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 on its qualities better. than come by did noise people taste the fruit much more intensely. but winslet without music in the end what counts is what the line tastes like. the flute as we know is an instrument normally associated with classical music but when british musician nathan lean got his hands on one he saw another possibility mainly beat boxing or if he calls it who boxing league 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 rhythms slow thoughts and it's something very few musicians have mastered i've seen one of them. not like he used to meet box in a crazy man fart. appreciate him. if he talks 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. i want to. be you know. into the next. book so i was up. for two decades now nakedly has been the pioneer of the flu vaccine he and his band

the clinic perform regularly. nathan lee used to be a construction worker his music career began when he was twenty and a friend gave him a flute. of just there was an accident but it's played float but i picked it up and then i thought. this is amazing it's just such that you know people think instruments they saw this enormous thing to talk to it's a nice thing to learn about. an instrument. it was a. conduit for more creativity. in me loves to work with other artists most recently he teamed up with the british band asian nation. the truth boxer likes asian dubs mixture of musical styles he doesn't want to be

pinned down to a single genre i feel that the way i play. with a lot of my i don't know i like to put 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. good for me it's a good place for me to play with i.d.f. with. you know. nathan 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 just think about his music. public consumption it's just it's a meditation it's something a lot to do something on market joy to get pleasure out of not. needing 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 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 playtime. albums can run for sixty or seventy minutes today listening to an entire work is a unique experience. reintroducing that to people and culture was our original idea and. when it's a play time is on the billet a german cinema that's here at the babylon movie theater in berlin visitors pay five euros to listen to will record in the company of others this evening's auditory treat is bob dylan's double album blonde on blonde. this. listening to an entire album requires time and leisure these days few people make the effort.

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 resting friends or having dinner everything sinked to this to our rhythm then we need something new noir. the longing for life to slow down is growing people are doing lots of things to escape stress visiting spas taking holidays on farms and leaving their cellphones behind when they go on a hike. this desire for things to slow down has become a trend. that's a serious note certainly still a nice trend away but i think it'll become more important as people are already noticing that many things in our time change too quick or perhaps the multi option society of the last few decades has overtaxing us to quite before dark. back into

babylon cinema and berlin the album is about seventy minutes long not including the forces needed to change the record yet none of the visitors leave before it's finished. it's from the situation pleasant to listen to an album at the cinema and also it's very nice to be able to do it at the right volume of the arms of all at 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 an idea of music that when you think people you know. they're super interesting. playtimes inventors plan to present their concept in other major european cities they want to keep the wheels turning but not too far.
