with one that encompasses the very essence of france and the city of light the eiffel tower in paris. and taking up some slack at the end of the show get ready for the amazing feats of a stony and slack line or. well she's one of the most compelling composers working today london born rebecca saunders who lives and works here in berlin and her competent compositions turned the whisper the shimmer and funder of sounded to something tangible and she invites us to focus on minute creations of timber and of course the symbiotic relationship between musician and instrument challenging to play and fascinating to listen to.

so that was the yes which premiered here in berlin in 2017 composed by rebecca saunders who has joined me in the studio welcome and thanks so much for being here . that you talk about music having these physical and sensual presence. sound is actually a material in your work how did you develop what i would call a sculptural approach to music it's hard to say in a way but. with specialized. specialized projects so. i

find it really fascinating to actually create an environment where the audience is inside the sound so often i miss a little wave or do write a lot of normal stage works or chamber where it's all sort of pieces that is fascinating to have the audience within the sound itself so i would have several pieces surrounding the audience and so you very part of the physical listening and performance which are a show sort of that piece that we just heard yes was inspired by the famous final chapter of james joyce's ulysses the monologue of molly bloom this very life affirming monologue tell us what's going on there you know also in terms of this this spatial concept well have actually written 28 separate pieces of color coding to a timeline so you've got to about 20 different positions in space and you've got musicians moving from one position to to another so you're really working with density and the sound is really moving diagonals within the architectural situation so it's coming from behind me from the side from a bar for example so you really are within the sounds the sound is moving through you and beyond you and i think it's very fascinating to be compelling listening

situation i think when you can really follow how the sound is moving according to the architectural characteristics and amazingly despite this collage effect you give individual sounds their own space and even things like the intake of air or breath are are actually part of the score yes that's right well particularly in yes because we do have a soprano but also several members of the ensemble and the conductor they also recital speak all sing so i'm sort of all different kinds of facets of money blues personality would have been sort of shot off in different directions but but yes i sensed the essence because there is a voice and there is the text which in a way is a thread that goes through the whole piece is that every breath every in break breath for every every every word every every every sound that the singer makes is of course meticulously notated so interesting now let's listen to another short sequence so that we can kind of experience a very different sonic landscape this is. an excerpt special one from bite from.

the. right who was. more of a. rumor. a composition for solo bass flute as we saw peru beautifully performed by helen bledsoe who i think did the premiere in 2016 year music is their bread but i think as one sees very demanding for the performers how is it you talked about the things being exactly notated how is it that you get exactly what you want if you use this you know it's so fascinating to work over many many years together with certain musicians with the flute with mark of blood on the on the trumpet or different musicians for different instruments new build up a long term working relationship really exploring experimenting with the instrument you soloists are extraordinary virtuous they kept performance and they have an

extraordinary relationship with their instruments you think about it this almost like one of the most intimate relationships of their lives you know and i think it's fascinating to study it's to be inspired by it and to work with them one sounds like really find that in the performance situation when you're pushing musician really to the edge of the limit extraordinary energy that comes over in the performance situation and then i like the emotionality of that situation and they feel they're going beyond boundaries something and sometimes you discover things that may not necessarily be in being want but that's nice you know always to be just that just only edge of something contributes to the to the tingle that you get now you're just quickly you're a recent winner of the answer from the men's prize that's considered the nobel prize for music and that means that you join the ranks of big names like benjamin britten. how did that make you feel it was rather overwhelming of course it was a big surprise indeed because i'm relatively young but of course it was

a great honor and. but when it comes to working then i just just get on with it try to blend that out and not sort of be distracted by public attention to things like that nevertheless congratulations on that distinctive distinction i know you're currently working on 3 different projects so we will look forward to hearing more from you in the future thank you so much. for coming in and joining the okra backus on a thank you. and there are few landmarks that so perfectly and compass the essence of the place as the eiffel tower in paris for 128 years now it's been the most distinctive feature of the parisian skyline and of course a key tourist attraction that draws millions every year and now the city is pouring $300000000.00 euros into renovations that will take about 15 years to complete but happily with no interruptions to visitors. the eiffel tower rises about the french capital known as the iron lady it's the highest structure in

paris standing at $324.00 made his on the way to the top there are 3 platforms those who want the exercise can take the stairs to the 2nd platform if you're heading to the top be prepared to climb the $1165.00 steps of course you can always take the elevator. to stop for the 1st platform is nearly 60 meters up visitors of drop out to the sun deck here and the exhibition that takes them around the platforms perimeter it tells the story of the eiffel tower the eiffel tower wasn't always as popular as it is today when engineer gustaf eiffel had it built for the 1889 world's fair artists and intellectuals considered it common and lonely early on blowout ironically described it as a truly tragic street lamp that was a broad sided eiffel's industrial building methods which contrasted sharply with the historical beauty of the city. the initial plan was to tear the tower down

after 2 decades. protect. explains why it's still standing today. by for at some point got the idea that the. the tower could be used as a place for a radio antenna the french army was really interested and began experimenting and transmitting they made the tower strategically important that's why they kept it all so. impressive views can be had from all over the town especially from the 2nd and 3rd platforms you can see many christian sites from here. including the louvre and the dome of les in the lead. that's made the eiffel tower one of the world's best loved landmarks with more than

$7000000.00 visitors each year you need to pay to get in tickets cost as much as $25.00 euros a souvenir snapshot is during. after dark the famous landmark close eloquently about the city of light and every hour on the hour the tower is a watch with flashing lights. well if like me you try to slack line there suspended between 2 trees then prepare to meet the master was a obvious tonia is what you call an extreme slack line around among other feats he recently performed the world's 1st ever backflip on a slack line so we paid him a visit. it's 9 in the morning in vasco a village in southeastern stony and. one of the world's best slack liners it's the

start of a normal training day. i feel freedom. yana was a trains daily for up to 8 hours. just like you and gives this. feeling of something impossible in the beginning but it's quite easy to reach this breakthrough practice. every year he develops countless new moves in the slacklining scene he's known as the crazy is stoney and. his stunts mix elements of break dance and classical dance. and sometimes he makes use of unusual props. even madonna was impressed by his talent and tenacity in 2012 she hired a boy then a 20 year old visit student for her m d n a world tour that brought him his big break as a professional slack liner more than i wanted actually to include into the upcoming

tour and she wanted to select winners so i was one of them. in iran in june 29th team yana also took on a new challenge rather than performing tricks he balanced on a high line slack line tensioned at an extreme high. it took him 54 minutes to cover the one kilometer long stretch. during the one hour the wind changes sometimes i feel how the wind just leaves me up with a line or moves me to the side to the left to the right like 1015 meters i was exhausted by the end. young girls that can now earn a living from his daring maneuvers and signature tricks he makes about 30 appearances per year this time he's performing at a soccer stadium in the estonian city of paris know. the audience follows his every move on the high line 30 meters above the ground it's a real balancing act as he tackles strong gusts of wind. damage like the most

and looking at it because of the sand and the wind and that flame was going up and down it goes through the photo but they don't actually do those. young voters the plans to pursue his daily training and practicing tricks that fascinate everyone not just slacklining fans. amazing and we've got no slack left at all and have to wrap up this show but hope to see you next time until then all the best here from finland and a bite. of . food.
