tried to bring heaven down to a late abstract artist also pre-nup. but joining me straight away is john i understand the boss of all druidic records this is a classical record company which is a bit special because it's a nonprofit making co-operative which puts the artists in charge it sounds wonderful joel. but how does it work because you have to make some money to pay people who who work for you of course that we have a team of fifteen effect that we have to pay and that is a talent obviously but the goal with with all to take was to find a way of making. something in the world of something which is not really of the world soul music which is priceless which is not transactional which is as a value completely different from commercial value soul but in some way finding a way to come out of size and to put in a marketplace and to do

a service to the artists who are collaborating with us ok now and i like the way you choose who you will record it's a bit like one of those things on the something called the voice on the television whether you know it's kind of behind the additions as you say you exactly this. is the scientific peer review process that we've co-opted for for arts. again the idea here is that we're trying to find a way to. choose our artist choose a repertoire in a way which is not motivated by a profit motive by marketing decisions and things like this and so what we what we built was a. platform to which people can apply in a demo but then it's evaluated by the actual rostrum members themselves of the label and they receive a link with just the music so we don't know who they are where they're from and a woman. if there are old young famous knots we evaluate really on the basis the
8:47 am
music itself and the interest of the program let's let's hear someone who who got through that is right decision process this is the italian pin is victorio forte playing a piece i write man enough. i should just mention it's rachmaninov but it's an especial range as you know ok. the record strong of the label is seems to be mostly contemporary i mean the very first thing you brought time was some bugs piano music or for c.b.s.
8:48 am
you know i mean that's quite a nice market is not well the interesting thing about this is that it's not a decision of myself or any explicit policy of the label but the music which does make it through this filter which we apply the the pure review filter is the more innovative programming stuff which is less represented stuff which we have already heard thousands of times though just as a natural result of our selection process i think we'd be in the doing ok now you said in an interview although she told me just don't quite buy the cd these days that it's all going to go wild laws so how are you going to make money oh should i say make enough to keep going so it's certainly true that cd players are being built building the cars and the computers is going to go the way of vinyl at some point there are always the collections and always be artists who need to to make see these also because. this is a good business card having
8:49 am
a tangible product is very good but but yes there's no doubt the market is moving towards digital and we're moving in that same direction or developing various online platforms which we hope will positions and a good place to be the interface between musicians the music industry and and the public and you've got a jazz label again let's hit some music this is again an italian artist a massive media know. hopefully pronounce it right and his band that's our quickness. that's. a rainy day on your jazz label just briefly what are you doing here in

germany the home of the mighty dortch a gramophone are you hoping to sort of put them out of business all in all i know there is no there is not even any intention of competition in the sense what we're trying to propose is an alternative to that. so the major labels they control more or less eighty percent of the market but is a dime market it's also also they're struggling and in my opinion. the fact that the digital revolution that's part of it of course but it but it's actually a symptom of i think taking music in the wrong way and so we're trying to present it in a different way which we think is actually a positive way for a way that will get us out and of course the digital revolution for us is a good thing you told sound this is really fascinating we need more enterprising entrepreneurs entrepreneurs in the business especially in the music business which is of course changing good luck with the film anderson thank you from. thank you

development it happened. it's worked away a lot of sort of local history and so we want to do this project as a way of reminding people about parts of the local history that they could be proud of. the bright colors used to this studios facade for example echoed the rapper's of sweets that used to be manufactured close by. the architects didn't draw inspiration only from local businesses one studio facade commemorates an unusual landmark that used to be in the area. before the olympic games there's a very frank famous local landmark on the canal which was nicknamed fridge mountain . just a few years it was europe's largest white goods dumping ground. the tenants of the twenty one work spaces are as varied as the studios facades the mix includes a record label to music studios architects engineers and designers.

patrick scully is house manager his employer the tramper he was hired by the technology park to look after the studios and its tenants. he explains what really sets the gantry a past. we can make beautiful spaces you can design amazing spaces you can have great views but ultimately the thing that makes this place tick make it last beyond me to the tramp or even as a company will be the stories and the collaboration is a network that happens for people interrupting day to day covering their business to go. there sure to be a lot more fun in these colorful studios. now they are museum just outside born in western germany is named after hands and so feet are up who were two of the pioneers of abstract art in the early twentieth century the current exhibition their features works by auto pina it was actually
