floral designer from the belgium. and frequent flyer and german artist. bismarck is in the mountains around the world. but first we start off the show with this week's series on musical instruments and singing songs have been a part of that family for about one hundred years now the most famous player of the singing saw was arguably actress marlina de clichy who played it at hollywood parties all the musician and locksmith ralph still produces his musical saws in a workshop in germany and he delivers them to customers all over the world while we paid him a visit in the studio. this isn't your everyday kind of sound a musical song accompanied by a harp people mostly think of songs as something used to cut wood. but for real

steve isn't there his favorite musical instrument he spends his days performing teaching and making singing saw as. i was always on the lookout for across something i could make i worked as a guitar technician i was used to tuning instruments but i never built any myself and that to me is what it's all about to explore it and to stay on the ball. musical saw us first coached a science attention when he saw the cult movie delicatessen many years ago. the scene featuring two characters playing a saw and a cello on a roof is one of the movies most well known sequences. but if involved. when i saw the film i thought wow that's an incredible sound. i want to try that myself but it's haunting and special. i've never heard
12:33 pm
anything like it. from another instrument get heard. first he started playing soft . but then he also started making them nowadays he produces about one hundred singing songs per year each one is unique accomplished on the public a lot of the sound results from the s. curve of the blade so if i bend the saw in just one direction you'll hear only a screech at best. but when i bend the blade and twist it into two directions at either end to get an s. cut it starts to vibrate deeply that but. the sound also depends on the length and take this of the plane. and the surface might have been sanded differently. a closer look reveals that a typical feature of a saw is missing. a proper sort of course has teeth got that way you can saw the news the other side to make music but regular tunes

tend to be too thick. this material is very flexible. there is going to be you couldn't use a real cross cut so for this i don't think you know initially i made my singing stalls with teeth but that made the market to handle and teeth on exactly ideal if the musician is swaying trousers or address. that in the buildings or. singing songs also have to handle its customers can choose from a variety of different woods stood aside usually as a group to the tip of the play that makes it easier to play. the instrument a day came in the one nine hundred twenty s. german film star malina dietrich often performed with the song and brought it into the spotlight in hollywood. but since then it's fallen into obscurity.
12:35 pm
and i think it is the sound of a musical so it's a whole special with the normal ear couldn't stand to listen to it for ninety minutes at a stretch usually it's only played for two minutes or so maybe five or a maximum of ten minutes after that you have to have something else the sound is very piercing and really irritates some people. but it also has its fans. a sing song world championship took place in poland in two thousand and eleven. took fourth place. but performers of the musical sall remain few and far between and ralphs davis likes it that way he's happy with the nice instrument and his passion for singing songs. time now for a brief look at other stories me headlines on the culture scene and

12:46 pm
like what it's like to live inside a spinning bowl that rotates fifteen times a minute for four days the artist had no idea what to expect. from after the experimental i do these experiments because i don't know what will happen a week before the exhibition i briefly stepped inside the ball and instantly felt queasy and i thought oh my god this won't work but after a while i learn to cope and i overcame that initial motion sickness. do the minimum for. the title the spinning artwork egocentric system. in it you'd better find something to keep yourself occupied if you don't want to feel miserable. bismarck's office is right beside his studio as high demand for his works and he's often busy planning trips abroad to showcase them his
