important but for decades political infighting here has hindered progress islam is to extremists or influence democracy and the rule of law for on shaky ground you've just got to get into. a pretty good. and i. thank the dawn of islam this is an exclusive d.w. report starting april twenty first. i want to welcome to another edition of euro max from flower displays fit for a king to luxury chocolate treats we have lots of fun topics on the show today here's a look at what's coming up. singing stars music maker rounds. and prison

usual instruments. aren't physical arrangement. but top floral designer finding belgium. and frequent flyers 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 so i was arguably actress marlena detail who played it at hollywood parties will the musician and locksmith ralph produces his musical saws in a workshop in germany and he delivers them to customers all over the world will we paid him a visit in the studio. this

is an area a kind of sound a musical saw accompanied by a harp people mostly think of saws is something used to cut wood. but for relished of isn't there his favorite musical instrument he spends his days performing teaching and making singing saw. him off this 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 its first coach to his dance 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 i'll quit if involved though when i saw the film i thought wow that's an incredible sound thing and. i

want to try that myself. with you it's haunting and special. you know i've never heard anything like it. from a little instrument good first he started playing sauce but then he also started making them nowadays he produces about one hundred singing songs per year each one is unique accomplished and did have 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 to the point that but. the sound also depends on the length and take that's of the plane. and the surface might have been sanded differently. a closer look pretty eels with

a typical feature of a saw is missing. a proper sort of course has teeth. 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. they're being discontinued that 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 them awkward to handle. and teeth on exactly ideal if the musician is weighing charles's or address. that in the living saw. singing songs also have to handle its customers can choose from a variety of different woods stood aside usually answer grips to the tip of the play that makes it easier to play. the instruments he 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. and i think it is the sound of a musical soul is of course 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 stance. a sing song world championship took place in poland in two thousand and eleven. took fourth place. but performers of the musical saul 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.

always forced. to make new things and that is why i like about it and belgium's most famous florist plans to keep on creating masterpieces for years to come. but the artist in our next report tries to strike a balance between outdoor adventure and large scale installation uli is fun bismarck is a master of experiments connecting art with science and challenging our perception of things all these installations video projects and performances have earned him the both or art prize worth a total of eighty thousand euros well we caught up with him here in berlin to hear about this latest projects. the pressure inside this balloon has to be just right for this special artwork to function properly it's connected to you loose one bismarck so-called top shot have. visitors

at the gallery and even a don't see it can then see themselves from above thanks to a downward facing camera dangling from the police. it's a folks a kind of out of body experience bismarck's art is all about playing with how we perceive things. but this was the first part i said ok this is finished i want to get it to a stage where i can put it on display during. his market work in his but in the studio. his conceptual art involves a fair share of workmanship there's plenty of sanding and welding involved some parts need to be riveted glued. it's probably hard to understand as an outsider just how elaborate these things sometimes are experts with lots of know how i needed to develop them what we're

doing here is a kind of research a different kind of research into totally different things maybe the guns on. 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. much good if they're meant to 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. this marks office is right beside his studio as high

demand for his works and he's often busy planning trips abroad to showcase them his artist takes him around the world. in his punishing series the artist of which a series of landscapes from the waves off topic up on a beach to the swiss alps. he was end up wondering just what it is he hates so much about nature and that's exactly the kind of response bismarck wants to elicit but he refuses to explain his what's. in twenty fifteen because it doesn't assistance to spray paint a section of mexican rainforest in white paint but that was just the first step. you guys are going to do in here with the basic white clay i guarantee that everything got painted afterwards so what you see of the colors that were picked by the person who repainted it. bismarck's assistance then went on to paint the

rain forest a second time in different shades of green. using environmentally friendly paint of course. it was important to me not to have a negative environmental impact so we use colors that are toxic. i had to drink the color in front of the eyes of the locals to prove it wasn't toxic and wouldn't damage the environment. landscape painting in the jungle on a scale of one to one. indigenous people are used to crazy white people coming to them with all kinds of projects or when they're building a road through their forest or extracting oil. building a hotel or setting up a plantation. so the people there viewed painting the rain forest as one of the nicer requests. it's in partnership and i'm trying to become.

bismarck is also fascinated by rocks with blowing them up to be precise. then he likes to piece them back together again it's just another of his quirky works in some ways not all that different from top shot helen. who has a small head. it's a fourth provoking experience. this man says he has tripled vision. well going on to another type of experiment a do it yourself project and this week our resident d.i.y. expert franz in kuwait us shows us how to make use of some of our old photo negatives that may still be lying around the house we learn now how to turn them into a positive source of light. hello
