it's. history you know if one. says that. this. digital africa starts december twelfth on the w. . i want to walk into a new week of your remarks with me your host meghan lee as usual we are making our way to all the cultural hot spots in europe here's a look at what's coming up. major neary electronic music producers on the shelves are returned with a new album. intrepid spanish fishermen risking their lives for

harvest cruises barnacles. during the groundbreaking how tennis icon steffi graf won a golden slam. where he had off the show with a pioneer of electronic music. as john now he's sold over eighty million albums to date and serves as an inspiration to countless musicians and d.j.'s forty years after his successful album equinox he's just relieved release the sequel we're not infinity nashar has always been interested in the future and his new album is no different now we talked to him about it and how rapidly developing technologies impact his compositions. electronic music pioneer john has released a new studio album titled equinox infinity it takes listeners to

a futuristic world and is the continuation of his one nine hundred seventy eight work equinox but. when i did the first week we noticed. we were all hoping about the future we had the kind of appetite for the future a vision for the future where do any of the after the year two thousand and everything would be the cars would fly and then we thing would be amazing and we do have been slightly disappointed when the two thousand happened and now it seems it seems that we are getting back to this kind of vision of the future. the concept albums ten tracks described the world as it may look in forty years. in particular the effects of artificial intelligence and ever increasing digitization on mankind are central themes.

or has had a fascination with machines and innovations throughout his musical career in one nine hundred seventy six he achieved his international breakthrough with his album oxygen. beyond any of his twenty's used synthesizers to create new and never before heard sounds. today the album has sold over twelve million copies. music for me it was like a cooking like cooking frequencies and loops and beats and with forms in a rather tactile and such a way. and i think that has not changed and became much more popular but this is still the same thing when when when you see deejays these days they actually cook it in front of over in front of the turntables. over the past fifty years

a life in harmony with technology an artificial intelligence on the other a dystopia in which human beings are ruled by their machines. i decided also to release this album with two different covers symbolizing the two potential futures i'm convinced that human beings could only survive the twenty first century if we are evolving good faith both with an environment and the quality. no age seventy jummy shows or doesn't see progress as requiring the sacrifice of the tried and true he brought this insight to the production of his new album he used to do the art digital production tech. and more for these sickly notes if anything i used some of my. sizes from the sixty's and seventy's which is great today is actually the fact that you can mix in the. cool and flexible way

and. the digital world. admits that he spent more time with machines and technology than with people even so infinity stands as a warning we need to be aware of the effects technological progress will have and decide how much room to get. and we move on to a brief look at other stories on the culture scene starting with the carnival season which got underway here in germany last week and more on that at the top of today's express. germany's carnival season kicked off on sunday. tens of thousands of revelers took to the streets and carnival hotspots to ring in the so-called fifth season.

the best way to start a day in belfast is with breakfast incent george's market it's worth a visit just to see the impressive architecture of the indoor market that opened in eighty ninety six a typical breakfast terrace the ulsta fry will get in and northern ireland is the potato red the sort of bread and this little thing here which is called back to the road you can buy these things in england you can buy these things in scotland are sausages have an ari style like a scene called the west and dulles is seen with. setting off from desmond hand the taxi drives past the city's vast collection of miracles there relics of the northern ireland sectarian conflicts known as the troubles which flared up between catholics and protestants in the one nine hundred sixty s. and continued for decades. the old you'll find that republicans are celebrating

also some of their dad and some of things that happened over the years or so well for example you would have over my shoulder to the right you have the irish republican homers figures that by probably sounds were made to nearly one half of them died as a result of a protest. high fences and will still separate many parts of the city and the residents. on the belfast docks is the shipyard where the luxury liner titanic was built a museum commemorates the didn't ship. my height of our belden as the c.m. high titanic was from came to prominence deck from the bottom of the ship to the top ninety feet and the yellow funnels on board titanic of the yellow stacks they were roughly an all or ninety feet on top of that at the end. ted tannic belfast was opened in two thousand and twelve for the hundredth anniversary of the

all right time now for something to eat into the goose barnacles are on the menu this delicacy is harvested by brave fisherman on the good leashing coast in northern spain now perhaps one reason that these men are willing to risk their lives for these prestige and is because goose barnacles are worth their weight in gold they can cost up to two hundred euros per kilo we take a look now at what goes into serving up this spanish stuff. here on the coast of police here antonio to head over a yawn is braving the elements to harvest a local delicacy positive and better known as. they're found on rocks like these which makes collecting them both difficult and dangerous. would be harvesting them is very dangerous the waves can smash you against the rocks or carry you out to sea . but they're worth the effort goose banneker's are delicious and in great demand but strict harvesting rules applying antonia for example is allowed to

collect no more than ten kilos per day provided the ocean is coming up. near the bottom of the too much fear of the ocean and can kill you because it makes you nervous but you need to have a certain respect for it when the conditions are right you should stay clear of the rocks. many restaurants in the town of said they are after the seafood delicacy they usually cooked insult water and then served. there a popular but pricey treat especially at christmas time. we're sure it tastes like to see a mark. there really juicy it's the taste of nature out of growth it's an education exclusive product something you treat yourself to just once in a while. back in the hunger antonio options of his daily catch he earns about thirteen hundred euros per month selling the crustaceans even if the price for him

fluctuates today he's only got smaller specimens earning him just under twenty euros. some days you might make five hundred or six hundred euros other days conditions are so bad you can even put out to sea especially in winter. and so each evening antonio scans the ocean to gauge if it will become enough the next day to go out and collect. one of the world's most expensive delicacies. one hundred years ago women in germany won the right to vote now in light of this we are profiling extraordinary female individuals who have made an exceptional contribution in the world tennis legend steffi graf is one of those women now and she is one of the most successful tennis players of all time and the only player to this day to have achieved a so-called calendar golden slam that's when you win all the major titles plus gold at the olympics in the same year graph officially retired from the game in one

father peter cox. at thirteen she started taking part in grand slam tournaments her rapid rise ignited nationwide tennis fervor in germany along with the successes of boris becker who grew up nearby in a town in boston for timberg. to have minds it would it would we had a really good tennis association and bond with the great trainers and a family like environment. it started with my victory at wimbledon and i came eighty five. caught up and i won her title just through the school with another teacher the want to thank for breakthrough pain in one nine hundred eighty seven when she was only eighteen. at the french open she unseated martina navratilova to become the world number one. she's sixteen really quick and fast and knew how to play the game really no weakness i mean her back and she was always there for her it was a huge weapon but she neutralized everything with her back and as well because she

was such a great mover. in one nine hundred eighty h.t. . he crossed made history when she won the golden slam all four grand slams and olympic gold in the space of one tennis season a feat boris becker couldn't batch run in who could talk to me that i just wasn't good enough if she did better than me an eighty eight i was glad to win even one grand slam a year and she got loads of a good basic i'm off to. russia is still the only tennis player to have completed the golden slam in one calendar year this and i think there are so many outstanding athletes especially in recent years i'm sure somebody will manage it again. this. oh i'm not going to make it ok i think she will hold on to the record for a very long time because. the nine hundred eighty nine germany's tennis fever reached its peak thanks to the joint forces of shifty craft and boris becker.
