sinan thing is just the children who have always been the way and those that will follow are part of a new kind of. time they could be the future. granting opportunities global news that matters d. w. made some minds. 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. in areas like tronic music producers on the shelves are returned with a new album. intrepid spanish fishermen risking their lives for

harvest crews barnacles. groundbreaking how tennis icon steffi graf one a gold plan. will head off the show with a pioneer of electronic music. 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 pioneers 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. so when i did the first equinox. 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 because would fly in there we think would be amazing and we do have been slightly disappointed with 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 describe 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.

he 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 and. 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 like it was like a cooking cooking frequencies and loops and beats and with forms in the in the rather tactile and sensual 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 d.j.'s these days they actually cook it in front of over in front of the turntables. over the

past fifty years has sold more than eighty million copies of his music. his concerts are visually spectacular as well. in one thousand nine hundred seven more than three and a half million people came to his show oxygen in moscow his biggest concert so far . in april twenty seventeen he gave a concert on the shores of the dead sea as part of a campaign to save it from drying up. his album equinox released in one nine hundred seventy eight is also well known for its cover by artist michel grant. the watchers as our calls them look toward the future. in twenty eighteen they do so again they are expected to see one of two extremes on the one hand

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 technology . now 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 the sickly notes infinity i used some of my early sizes from the sixty's and seventy's which is great today is actually the fact that you can mix. the way the

world and the 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 give it. and we move on to a brief look at other stories on the cultural 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.

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 and turning on 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 profile filing extraordinary female individuals who have made an exceptional contribution in the world tennis legend steffi graf is one of those women now 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 graf officially retired from the game in one
