his canvas is. works with pyrotechnics and. he captures his light composition through time exposures he doesn't do special effects or digital photo processing what the view is what actually happened. you can't see the result until you look at the monitor that's the biggest problem you can't see what you're doing you might compare it to blind painters they could sense what they're doing but they couldn't see it. every photo shoot is a performance. under the pseudonym young leonardo develop. performance photography it involves pre-composed and rehearsed movements would. take up to an hour to complete. born in nine hundred seventy eight became

famous german composer and musician johann sebastian bach spent much of his life in the city of leipsic here he earned a living composing weekly can tatas for st thomas' church it was here that bach created major vocal works like the st john and st matthew passion and the christmas oratory a. total box composed nearly seventeen thousand minutes of music in his lifetime now. for his three hundred thirty third birthday the entirety of his works are coming out as a mighty two hundred twenty two cd boxset edition. the elegantly simple case belies its sumptuous content box compositions performed by stellar musicians like violinist hilary hahn and others.

ask even at today's current month of course there are already so many recordings and many bach lovers will probably already have quite a few. tut's them but this is a complete recording of bach's works that not on includes every composition but several versions of them for instance historical interpretations experimental versions and the first ever recordings to this kind of variety is unprecedented tickets but hear no nish. the recordings were inspired by research done it live six archive it holds a vast collection of sheet music penned by the composer himself. musicologist spent years dating them. and now music aficionados can enjoy box compositions in their chronological order and get a sense of his development as an artist over the years. revised what fuming

now much more is known about when and why bach composed the can touches that he did and for washer arrangement an occasion. johann sebastian bach created widely known pieces like air and many others he composed a total of eleven hundred twenty five works and set new standards in terms of quality. his music remains hugely popular across the globe to this day. so what is it that makes path so unlike any other composer he finds a knicker the richness of his harmonies the diversity of his melodies that's what you hear every day here on the market square street musicians constantly play air it has so much power yet such a simple melody but it has a really a very didn't rich harmony which is inspired composes for the past three hundred years taranaki and the mafia and even jazz musician say was

a pioneer jester. back of. the cd collection boasts numerous interpreted. nations of box works. for the first time ever it's possible to compare different recordings of the same piece the cd set also includes a new bach biography and essays on his works. they reveal just how differently artists feel about his compositions. for example american organist cameron carpenter. his music really has more to do with the organization of the natural world than something that's manmade i don't find bach's music to have very much humor very much sex if again it's it's nice to find a composer whose music is somehow above the human experience.

an orthodox organist must know he's one of the biggest fans around. for a final course was serving up a few tasty snacks in the form of landmark's five friends from a small town in bavaria came up with the rather old idea of building models of famous buildings using their favorite foods they've now released a book that lets readers guess what celebrated structures they've recreated using things like onions chocolates and sausage. arrange rice paper garlic and costly and you've got a miniature version of munich olympic stadium rusk doubles as rose coliseum. while radishes and scrumptious commos a cheese combine to make a mini guggenheim museum. these edible edifice is other brainchild of five friends who came up with a unique idea for a birthday present for an architect trend among the picnic girls we had

a picnic and instantly had the idea to recreate famous buildings with food but it struck us as a bit loopy at first but pretty soon we came up with all kinds of buildings we could create for and. they set up a makeshift photo studio and got to work on their first project the sydney opera house. finding the perfect building materials however it wasn't always easy. to run and my dogs and we stood in the supermarket trying to find the perfect cucumber for london's gerken and realised they were a bit too wide at the top and it was quite an absurd situation in the shop. going the supply it's already caught. in a four days the friends created and photographed forty five minutes of versions of famous buildings like this the grout a familiar chinese noodles are perfect for the barcelona landmark. and buffalo mozzarella has an uncanny resemblance to munich sally-anne serina the

friends now lovingly refer to the soccer stadium as the again a day before. we found the perfect mozzarella. but things can get tricky with bananas when you're creating a mini cathedral of priscilla or when the chocolate about minutes of your miniature golden gate bridge threaten to melt away. transforming this block of cheese into hamburger elk full of money comes that all isn't easy either. fact moment of doubt and i'm talking into a cheesy serina then or gummy candy version of hundred versts a house followed by a cookbook and traditional vice versa sausage can really give you an upset stomach and in the end we've been used to building materials for our gate of heavenly peace to cook a delicious beef soup he wants a sample of. their friends edible architecture has now even been published as an

illustrated book they plan to send architect frank gehry a free copy because they're rightfully proud of their take on his guggenheim museum in belle belle. that's all we have time for today but you can always find plenty more your mags on our facebook and instagram pages i d w your remarks join us again tomorrow for more european lifestyle and culture here on c w of hour from now. on the next edition of your. markets killing and specialized in taking pictures of the northern alliance and lapland that's home country finland is the right place for it. but even here good shots take lots of patience for an extra warm winter. you're a photographer next time on your. the
