so it's just a wonderful feeling that he's of really captivated me at some point had stared at my own keyboard long enough now there's no stopping me and. peter should invent is an artist with a particular obsession he collects keyboards from recycling yards liberates the keys from them and gives them a new purpose. for me when the time happy when the keyboards are really old and when you can see that they've already been through a lot of official version doesn't. he turns the yellowing that comes with age to his advantage and a lot of other people paint with acrylics and i do it with ease 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 out my compositions to create the nuances and coloring that i need that is paul. his pac man for instance

is made up of some three thousand handpicked and cleaned keys of many different shades modern keyboards tend to be flash keys from the older ones helped create a relief to the key mosaics become three dimensional. as it is and 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 tani i think when i got hold of it i thought it's just too gorgeous i can't destroy it and this thing has that's gone so i left it in one piece on the made a classic motif of this classic. the creature devours a tree eight or there but it does so in a very charming way off and it's. the inspiration for his first key measure shakes was h. bit 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 keyes's pixels seems only natural but he also wants to paint conventional subjects now he's working on a piece for the rowing champions league achieving subtle hues and shadings with keys can be a tedious charm. so you have to keep looking at the images replacing keys looking replacing keys and looking again he's been working on this image for nearly two hundred hours trying to perfect it. even when he's not working he sees mosaics all around him. but right now he has no time to unwind his client nigel lonely is getting impatient. and i thought this is so and this is a nice see you. so far so good as my house the painting coming along for the rowing champions league would you like to see something sure let me show you i be very interested. by this is certain to be nice to have it finished now then we could

auction it off for good causes i still have to decide who get the proceeds with us but it's fabulous. it's good to know there are a few sections here that aren't quite finished. and when will it be done i'm not sure hopefully soon though it will take a while but yes it'll be a while yet. both men need lots of patience with the 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 isn't located in havana but rather right here in the german capital iras in 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. time soon. home isn't simply the place where you were born the warden home as well

as the country's it gives you the opportunity to achieve something more than just i always say i have two homes where i was born well and berlin where i now live in my house right to hide. in use and eric or often i run a cuban restaurant in berlin to kenya or little havana. before that opened it four years ago they did a lot of research they discovered that while they were several cuban thongs there was no truly cuban restaurant in the city. so it was high time to open one. plus amongst the phone the dog 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 open to new experiences 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 through my father always found gastronomy interesting and we don't have that in. their own businesses. although i trained is another profession and how i've always been drawn to the restaurant trade yet even as a little child line 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 what emails were done by. eric got off alone was born in the same town as his wife they did just fifty meters apart but they never met back then. he started agricultural

science and then left for italy that's where he met era's who was on holiday every cause lived in britain for ten years now. he taught 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 all i am really passionate about what i do. at the meal i always enjoy cooking . i learned a lot working in various establishment the poor them 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 up of the year is the cuban national dish the name means old rags but the dish is

a beef stew. the recipe calls for flank steak because the treads well when cooked. chicken cuisine tends to be spicy and highly seasoned with plenty of garlic cumin and failed leaves. baby leaves are also pictured in the cuban culture volves there is symbol of strength. to make it out of your heart the meat is boiled to tender and then it's pulled apart and looks like old drags. 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. the good makes a great family leo because it's so practical. in fact you can make two forces with

the one piece of meat which was first of a hearty soup with little and sopa and then use the meat to make a delicious whoop of you before you know it is your. restaurant isn't shit about the mainly residential neighborhood with lots of menus streetlife and cafes people have come here to enjoy themselves since the mid nineteenth century. can you help is not on the main road 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 to do it so it's not likely recommended it was very tasty that's what system this is a dish to it feels like a piece of cuba that's where i'm from if you little bro it's important to have somewhere that feels like oh no you know that's why we come here. there is the

regular menu and very special but the dish that isn't great just to mount is about the. boy of course you know a bit of. 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 it shine a sleeping beauty waiting to wake from its slumber. and newport truong an indian princess wants to break the spell. soon after moving to the belgian capital in twenty seven team she discovered the old arguable building it was love at first sight. if a child you don't take care of the child is neglected you know and i felt in a way that the home was like and often looking for a parent and. and when i stepped into it the house was literally cry 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 horta 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 frescoes and the fuss up so the facade is going to be like it was originated in one thousand nine hundred four and that is going to pop the heart the housemaids off on route to go 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 find the splendor of the treasures it is home to. many of the original furnishings and fixtures are very well preserved. it is people have all you living in are to go. home how can you breed it's overwhelming you know motives and colors are just pouring like a monsoon 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 reawaken. and finally we wrap up the show with the final part of our series on musical instrument the 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 turns.

in order that they affect us all the same. it is a load on its own 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 this isn't taken over university. there's a lot of work involved the for a feisty goan couldn't get massages plenty of heat and muscle power and can see if you go wrong along the way each gone 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 his office but. if

you don't make you facility and shocked out off workers rely on one another and going must have the light surface tension or it won't sound right so then technically it just fast making around fifteen hundred dents in the metal if one of them blows lands in the wrong spot the whole instrument can be ruined. if you stick my neck often too high 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 show you can stabilize the gong it's fine my uses his hammock to find the sound. i mean i can make a huge difference to the way the kong sounds. at the end of the gong gets its own face it's uplifting tradition. some of our companies are going to go down plus

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 if 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 your wrists lifting up and go against the sent a then you're done full on as it was before you know. after three days of hard work the go home has that world famous pointy sound. like pink floyd and the police have used affirms gongs. at a summit gig i am made in germany could make brain this beat any drum patterns down . these days rather than on the concert stage more a feisty gongs wind up in your case into this.

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 an instrument and if so which one now lots of people send in photos as you can see right there but there can only be one no winner from our draw and that is andrea linus from mexico and there she is playing her child cello rather so we drew her entry as the winner congratulations under you have won yourself a euro max wrist watch or get that off to you right away so now it's time to say your vibe of be sure to tune in tomorrow for our highlights show and the best picks out of the week we will see you then. next time on your own max the highlights of the week a new museum in venice features an exhibition about the legendary ladies' man casanova. the creations of belgian florist done your all-star team to man the world
