it's. history in the everyone stops. pieces of. information. digital africa starts december twelfth on d. w. . hy the welcome to the euro max in today's show we'll be featuring one of the most iconic albums in music history and much much more from across the continent is what's coming up. we celebrate the beatles' white album which came out fifty years ago. the rebellious we mean the street artist in front foot on mine

. and stylish we visit a family in the dream house on the island of malta. we start off with an absolute gem of rock history this iconic beatles double album as you can see the cover didn't feature a title or much else a toll and so it was dubbed the white album not just the color was unusual though it also marked the beginning of the end for the beatles the majority of the tracks were written and recorded separately as tensions in the band and different tastes resulted in a wide variety of completely different songs being jumbled together but with the talent on offer it still resulted in a cracking record. we

all want to change the world john lennon wrote with a note of sarcasm in his song revelation. yet nam war on student unrest in paris and elsewhere dominated headlines lennon thought the time had come to make a statement. this special two months before the white album came out and is a bit. the release version of revolution sounds a little more reflective. wilfried tending has been since nine hundred sixty full. album. and i think it's because so many different influences went into it the psychedelic stuff from india played a major part of it he's just returned from got to work on this. because of. nine

hundred sixty eight the beatles were here to get away from it all to meditate. left after ten days to escape the food in insects. followed a couple of weeks later to take care of business george harrison and john lennon and writes music. album but they did. the rest. but. done yet anything but consistent by the time they recorded the white album his real title is simply the beatles the fab four were ready for it with tensions in the punt with their private line. have that plane that insists that he can hear it the x. d.j. and radio announcer describes the white album as

a kind of hodgepodge. neither john nor paul were listening to what either of them were writing or composing any more with it hadn't ever been like that for us in fact the beatles worked on the white album or separately them together. eventually ringo starr threw in the drumsticks disadvantage for two weeks. this is in my opinion it's the album that makes it very clear that they'll be splitting up soon after this but it's. george harrison took advantage of the growing tensions between lennon and mccartney to move himself into the foreground. he contributed one of his very best songs while my guitar gently weeps played my guitar and i think it's outstanding it was the first time they ever let george harrison write four songs for an album. and he played while my

guitar gently weeps together with friends old and new concepts up until his death in two thousand and one. but not everything on the white album was brilliant. as good as i see there's a little trash to do your blood does a ridiculous song. he would think that music is really i just hated it and i still hate it when. there was a tragic footnote to the. that the beatles were not directly involved in cult leader charles munson took the music as coded messages to him personally of agile and he saw the beatles as the four horsemen of the apocalypse spurred on by the

song helter skelter his colleagues murdered nine people and nine hundred sixty nine . the want to tell them has just been really really stinnett's de luxe book santos six c.d.'s and a blue drake disc. the fifty recordings including some previously unreleased material which remakes for this edition of the music ranges from ballads to hans rolf to sounds kind of just and just good pop music because the beatles did things that nobody had ever done before. they set milestones on the white album is definitely one of them but definitely the. ones you can multi-player to. make stuff express we're making stops in berlin today but first let's stay on the

subject of music and a very successful german. german shaw the singer elena fisher has made it into the top ten of the world's best paid female musicians in fact she's in a place on the forbes list of. the u.s. magazine puts fishes yearly earnings at around twenty eight million euros ahead of international superstars like celine dion and britney spears but she's way behind the highest paid woman in the music business you are seeing are katy perry with nearly seventy three million year olds but fisher doesn't seem to mind. berlin's newest baby giraffe ella took her first steps outdoors and was introduced to visitors at the tir park as of. the young female seem to enjoy galloping around

the outside enclosure. elementary more than one meter eighty when she was born on november third as an adult five years from now she's likely to stand for and a half meters tall. so just two meters seventy left for ella to grow. the museo del a call to a going all museum of conches in milan is hosting the exhibition of visual protest the artist banksy starting this day it's the first time that works by the british street artist are being shown in a public museum his true identity is still a closely guarded secret. banksy reported banksy has revived the rebellious political component which had been lost in street art and that is one of his achievements. the exhibition comprises eighty works from private collections including paintings cultures and prints it runs until the fourteenth of april

twenty ninth. well we stay with street up now but back out those where it belongs like banksy philip schiff uses the street as his countess it transforms the city's grey landscape adding color and schumer for commuters in frankfurt to marvel at the self-proclaimed gorilla just used to work illegally but has since started getting permission from the city council for his installations his works are meant to be thought provoking but also make people laugh and look at their surroundings in a new lights. his little goes to the city. he served toast in a manhole cover. sent messages on an escalator. and sprayed ivory towers slated for destruction. this is street

town intended to make the city of frankfurt and more corky. and this is the artist philip shape. leaving the conventional behind away from normality changing perspective and seeing things in a new light that's what you could call the essence of my art. for years now philip shaffer has been quite successful as a gorilla rottenest as he calls himself here he's making final preparations before he heads out for his next stop to stick on the take. right now i'm cutting out the stencils from my latest manhole cover work. this is the head of a cheetah or a panther. are there's a manhole cover near the train station that resembles a cage. and it's now being transformed the boring

manhole cover nobody previously noticed suddenly acquires a new meaning the action takes about twenty minutes and shamefast has the big cat to its cage. i have a huge database at home often i get an idea and need to find a suitable manhole cover but in this case i saw the cover and knew right away this has to go there. shafer calls this project she works he adds a light hearted and playful element to the pavement underfoot a swimming pool with a diving board. and who is the birthday cake meant for. where did this tale come from. slices of toast in a manhole cover. something to grin about and maybe also

a comment on our eating habits where does he get his ideas shape is best known work pokes fun at consumerism. god made a good list of you could say the manhole cover told me what it needed all i did was carry it out. the plate had four holes and it was immediately clear to me that slices of toast had to go into them tools or to find. just food go down the drain it's meant tongue in cheek philip who studied political science wants to change our ways of seeing things it all started with his city ghosts they've now achieved cult status and are often imitated by other sprayers shaper inventive but at first he sprayed the ghost illegally nowadays he asked for permission his ghosts at least are cheerful. with his. they're not meant to scare people just the opposite they're

supposed to make people smile and pull them out of their daily routines i talked to thought that was also the same when he decorated a train station escalator for christmas twenty thirteen. the balloon on the right carried a wish list the president was parachuted down on the left but schaffer was caught and fined nine hundred euros. off with his orders or no vote is all i was supposed to face criminal charges as well but thank goodness the case was decided in my favor because i admitted to the judge that i did damage property illegally but convinced her there was a reason for it but if this goes over then we have to thank for make statements about germany's banking help frankfurt known as a city of the wealthy the great eroticized people shouldn't just turn over the city to high finance and speculators. good the city belongs to those who live in it that's what this is about it's. to allow everyone to express themselves freely

and help shape their social environment. with. some may think shapers a bit nuts but his gorilla makes people smile and brightens up the cityscape and that makes the artist happy to. now from the streets of frankfurt we had to a more traditional place to observe. but at the until you're deluding yeah paris is first digital museum you can see classic works by the likes of gustav clint and from an entirely new perspective this is used three d. technology to bring these paintings to life. dive into the world of the late austrian artist feeling. for the viewer it's an immersive experience pulls on the floor merge into an

explosion of color while the art and technology plenty into a seamless unity. possibly . we don't want to be called a museum we're a digital art center expect we want to present a different experience of art than what you get in a museum where the art works just hang on the wall of course. the new venue is located inside a former einfeld ring in central paris. the old couldn't call now reflects the works of. the family was opened in the nineteenth century by the peaceful family it took two years to participate location for the venue but artistic director. is happy with the result. the to be seen to your point makes this place so special is

that the old factory has been brought to new life and it's very important to me that we don't abandon locations like this. shouldn't just be turned into architectural rubbish dumps. a second exhibition features another austrian stuff cliff kemp was initially influenced by historical paintings and mirrors and then made a decisive break with tradition. over the course of his career clipped began to emancipate himself from classical art of us he founded the vienna secession which produced entirely new artistic the. sound is behind the i. want to break with the time museum concept in paris the city known for its world famous museums that is indeed telling tradition on and saying. well the tradition we'd like you see is singing silent night at christmas time as part of this week's

competition we'd like you to sing us your rendition of the carol in whatever language you prefer after all the song has been translated into around three hundred languages and dialects you could win a cd and original christmas pyramid so make sure to take part on called slash lifestyle next up we're traveling housetops a small town in austria that has developed into a real hit with chinese tourists of the last few years so much so that a replica was built in china for around eight hundred million euros the real house was declared a unesco world heritage site in one thousand nine hundred seven so let's go see the original. there are many many chinese tourists here and they all want one thing a photo a photo of polish in austria and they want to be in it too for some reason the small village in the common good region is immensely popular two groups come see

and click yes it's pretty of course but why in fact do they come here. number three. very beautiful. you know we're among their neighbor and. for the flower. of my cake we. come here to make a dream come true because it's so beautiful. up to seven thousand chinese visitors jostle through the streets every day. but they don't stay long just long enough for a snapshot or too. much to the annoyance of some of hotshots eight hundred residents. have time to drink a cup of coffee not to buy a souvenir just walk through take hundreds of pictures and then i'm bundled back to

the bus and on to the next town. i can't even get through in the book because i get pushed from all sides and on my bike it's really dangerous and. another reason it is on the chinese radar is that it has a twin an identical twin in china the house dot com was opened in two thousand and twelve. in the south of the country it's also favored by local daytrippers and chinese people who have neither the time nor the cash to fly to austria and it's popular as a photo backdrop too. but the austrian original is unique thanks to the authentic landscape. of the better off chinese p. will keep coming by the end of the year it could be over a million. that's too many for the townspeople there now thinking of ways to limit the tourist crowds. warning signs have already gone up asking visitors to respect the native population in general tourists are welcome and hostile but so

many all that once can be hard to handle and a new traffic concept is required. has been made about limiting the number of buses only pre-registered buses would be at a certain limited number so. this opera austrian area is just too lovely and it's too bad somehow start locals may think to themselves that the news has reached all the way to china. time now for our ongoing series euro still locks where we get a sneak peek into someone's humble abode today we're heading to the mediterranean island of malta this is where one british family chose to settle off to traveling across the world and listen an architect to design and build their dream house and

now that it's done they've finally decided to settle down. this house is a typical example of modern multis architecture which features clearly defined structures to smooth bright exterior. he had words livia north east of the letter of their daughter isabel who lent her name to the family home. welcome to my house. from the front door you can see all the way through to the garden and the swimming pool this visual access makes the outside area appear as part of the living space the edwards moved into the house in twenty sixteen. russell an internet expert from britain and his wife lorraine have travelled extensively and moved house thirteen times already here they finally feel at home for the first time. i may not like. it

just flows really nicely so i always feel. at home there's something lovely about waking up here every day and pretty much the sun is going to be shining and that's really nice. because the sun makes you happy. in order to bring the natural born consigned the only completely on board as a design element. the entrance area is almost completely paneled with oak and looks like a sculpture with indirect lighting. i was worried that they would take a lot of my space because they were talking as well behind these units you can storage things so we have the furniture actually here so i thought that either will take the space of the entrance but like i said you aren't witnesses these looks fantastic. the white metion of wooden board in the foyer is mirrored by

a similar shaped shell. in the kitchen. the west trying to put the household together because why these very clean the very i don't mean my least but for me to happen to be that warm so they won't hear it was a fantastic idea and i think that is different to any other kitchen is designed for me i like like that. the architect wanted the sauna dining table to form a line with a kitchen block. but that proved to be impractical to walk around the same time i think. that's a long way so what we tend to do is return to pull this down a little bit and then we can quickly skip through that which makes it a lot easier when you're putting your feet on the table every day and stuff like that so you're architects of great ideas that sometimes you can change

a little things here on. the staircase of the multi-story building with four hundred square metres of living space is decorated with a motif that features perplexing space perspectives. the master bedroom on the first floor is decorated in quite beige towns in harmony with the wooden structures on the ground floor. tiles is the color scheme in the living room. a built in wardrobe is hidden behind the dark blue woodward the living room is the focal point of the house. normally we'd sort of turn the lights down and and just relax is one of the if i don't say they are in the lounge that we have really sat down on a joy and drink usually not their homes that we have to leave before never happened this is. right and. we have like

a radio here a left. they don't have the garden usually remains open in the evening after all mild temperatures prevail all year round on the mediterranean island of malta. well from icy cold berlin that's time to say goodbye we'll be back tomorrow with more your mix if you can't wait that long you can find us on instagram and facebook have d.w. your remarks to plenty more content for third season on the bar for no. time on your own max criminogenic and sustainable that's what the finnish passion label heinous stands for the two designers are fascinated as inspired by biotic night and left. the produce apparel they say will last a lifetime finish fashion next time on your imagine.
