is an artist with a particular obsession he collects keyboards from recycling yards liberates the keys from them and gives them a new purpose. by me spending time happy when the keyboards are really old and when you can see that they've already been through a lot of us the shelving doesn't. he turns the yellowing that comes with age to his advantage. of a lot of other people paint with acrylics and i do it with ease with the there's nothing disgusting about it and with the yellowing is just from sunlight and aging and i utilize all the different shades when i lay on my compositions to create the nuances in coloring that i need that is powerful. pac-man for instance is made up of some three thousand hands picked and cleaned keys of many different

shades modern keyboards tend to be flashy keys from the older ones helped create a relief so the key mosaics becomes three dimensional. as it isn't it isn't against because all of the times i've incorporated a very special keyboard into this picture and it was owned by the inventor of pac man himself told by tony people when i got hold of it i thought it's just too gorgeous i can't destroy it in this thing have a gun so i left it in one piece on the made a classic motif for this classic. to clear creature devours its creator but it does so in a very charming way off and it's. the inspiration for his first key measure takes was a spit computer games from the one nine hundred eighty s. like space invaders. the frankfurt based artist has always taken his subjects from the computer world using keys as pixel seems only natural but he also wants to paint conventional subjects now he's working on

a few sections here that are quite finished it was thanks to this is when will it be done i'm not sure hopefully soon though it will take a while yes it will be a while yet. both men need lots of patience whether rowing or making art from key. time now for something to eat and cuban cuisine is on the menu but the restaurant in our next report is it located in havana but rather right here in the german capital iras and eric garage full of have been running their cuban restaurant since two thousand and fourteen and for our weekly series fifty kitchens one city they share one of their specialties with us. to me. home isn't simply the place where you were born and home is the country that gives you the opportunity to achieve something. i always say i have to have.

where i was born well and where i now live. it is and eric are often i run a cuban restaurant in britain to kenya. little havana. before that opened it four years ago they did a lot of free sets they discovered that while there was several cuban bombs there was no truly cuban restaurant in the city. so it was high time to open one. first amongst the film did you really like about germans is that they're fearless when it comes to trying out new kinds of crazy and they are very flexible free under opens you know experience and they're very honest. it is corrupt fellow grew up in a small town in the west of cuba she had her first child at seventeen in one thousand nine hundred nine an uncle who lived in berlin invited her to come visit she

decided to stay at home she had been an english teacher in germany she started to work in restaurants. just throw me few my full always found gastronomy interesting we don't have that in cuba. their own businesses. although i trained is another profession and i've always been drawn to the restaurant trade yet even as a little child like i would love to spend time in the kitchen with my grandmother by two she would always cook for a lot of people and i was there with her. all ornish but you must sort of by. every girl fellow was born in the same town as his wife they lived just fifty meters apart but they never met back then. he studied agricultural science and then left for italy that's where he met eras he was on holiday that eric has

lived in britain for ten years now. he told himself how to cook and he is always experimenting and dreaming up new recipes cuban cuisine is an enduring source of inspiration it is itself a fascinating mix of influences among them african and spanish. that although i am really passionate about what i do. i always enjoyed cooking. and learned a lot working in various establishment the poor then i thought about it for a long time and then i decided to do this. and present my culture and cook for the german public a political one. but over the year is the cuban national dish the name means old racks but the dish is a beef steamed the recipe calls for flank steak because the treads well when cooked . cuban cuisine tends to be spicy and highly

seasoned with plenty of garlic cumin and failed leaves. baby leaves are also pictured in the cuban coats of arms there is a symbol of strength. to make it out of here the meat is boiled told tender and then it's pulled apart and looks like drags. it to. the history of the dish has long been disputed some say it originated on the canary islands others say it comes from mainland spain. at the brothel it's something you can always eat. good makes a great family leo because it's so practical. in fact you can make two courses with the one piece of meat which was first a hearty soup with little and sopa and then use the meat to make

a delicious welp of yeah. the restaurant isn't shit about the mainly residential neighborhood with lots of men it was street life and cafes people have come here to enjoy themselves since the mid nineteenth century. let the can you help is not on the main right hordes of hungry people don't necessarily come in just by chance the start was difficult but its reputation has been growing and many of its patrons are regulars now. the style of the atmosphere and the people mentioned it to those who didn't seem likely recommended it was very tasty to say listen this is a dish to think it feels like a piece of cuba that's where i'm from if you lose a broad it's important to have somewhere that feels like home to you that's why we come here. there is the regular menu and various specials that the dish that isn't great just a month is about the. boy of course you know about. it

better to have. the hotel free zone in brussels is a modest building at first glance but what most tourists may not know is that it's a wee unesco world heritage site now this is because it was designed by the architect victor horta who was a key architect of the art nouveau era now the building has changed ownership and it's been renovated now it'll open in all of its splendor as a museum and the owner's new living quarters. this townhouse in the heart of brussels is an architectural gem the signature of its designer victor horta is visible everywhere down to the last detail aptly it's located on the roof or street of the handsome one after years of neglect the former result had lost to china

a sleeping beauty waiting to wake from its slumber. and new fortran and indian princess wants to break the spell. soon after moving to the belgian capital in twenty seventeen she discovered the old arguable building it was love at first sight. if a child you don't take care off the child is neglected you know and i felt in a way that the the home was like an often looking for a parent and. and when i stepped into it the house was literally crying please take care of me. she responded to floor by floor as she lovingly restored every nook and cranny and uncovered elements. of the building which was designed by pioneering architect victor hoare to in the late nineteenth century now over a century later has had new life breathed into it. the second

is restoring all the painting the fest and the fuss up so the facade is going to be like it was originated. and that is going to pop the heart of the house on ruin a bow because right now it's a bit camouflage you don't really see it it's very discreet. discreet on the outside perhaps but the interior cannot hide the splendor of the treasures it is home to. many of the original furnishings in fixtures are very well preserved. it is people have no you living in an all too well. how can you breathe it's overwhelming you know motives and colors are just pouring like among soon on you know. getting a make over by the indian art lover was a godsend for the building and the cultural heritage of brussels a sleeping beauty reawakens. and finally we wrap up

the show with the final part of our series on musical instrument but gong has been used in ritual ceremonies prayer and meditation since the bronze age and more recently it's been used on stage with rock bands well since its roots can be traced back to china you might think that this is where the gong is made but actually there's a company in northern germany which has gained quite a reputation in making these metal instruments. one hundred and ten kilograms of nickel silver vibrating creating countless tens. in order that they affect us all the same. it is a lot to our needs when certain people are afraid and say that's too powerful too

intense they don't like it but others do they find the vibrations of the gong to be soothing the vibrations go through their entire body so it functions like a massage is that they don't know for you to massage. but there's a lot of work involved the four apply stick on couldn't get massages plenty of heat and muscle power and can't you can go wrong along the way each cone starts out as a metal disk that's heated up to eight hundred degrees celsius. and we've heated the edges to soften the sun our colleagues can bend them using blows from a hammer otherwise the materials to haunt us if we heat it wrong it could get to solved then my colleagues might moan because our boss things up has. begun making facility and shocked out off what has rely on one another and gone must have the

light surface tension or it won't sound right so then technically it just fast making around fifteen hundred dents and the metal if one of them blows lands in the wrong spot the whole instrument can be ruined. if you stick my in the cuff entry i put all my strength and my energy into it because the gong needs that this gong can only sound good if i give it enough tension power hopefully it will return the favor by making a reasonably nice sound. off to countless. close to shank unstabilized the gong to send my uses his hammer to find the sound. and they can make a huge difference to the way they come sounds. at the end the going gets its own face itself place the tradition. some of our companies are going to go down for when you're tense you make more mistakes than when you take a more relaxed approach and say yes i'm going to finish scraping it the dangerous

part is that this area here. if you scrape along this line you should do the same along the edge of the center circle too but you risk slipping up and going into the center and then you're done for him it is done as it was before you. after three days of hard work the go on has that world famous pointy sound. like pink floyd and the police have used the firm's gongs. at a summit gig i am made in germany could make brain. beat any drum patterns down. these days rather than on the concert stage more of these gongs wind up in yoga santas. now with that we come to the end of the show but we want to let you in on this week's contest winner before we go now all this week we had asked you if you play
