and a very skilled work involved in making maps which illustrate landscapes and. why. the city of birmingham symphony orchestra in the u.k. seems to have a bit of a knack of finding talented conductors the current music director is the lithuanian conduct. appointed to the post while still in her twenty's rather like one of a preterist simon rattle now just $33.00 she's the 1st female conductor to have an exclusive contract with a leading classical record company gramophone and is in much to mom as a guest conductor as here with the door. kashi need to chill out is one of the most exciting conductors working today here at auckland they call her my strum yoga 33 year old lithuanian will be

a regular exclusive guest artist there for 3 years her repertoire includes a rhapsody by polish composer mistress was signed by. i've. seen music on vine back the music of by an basque is marked by the cut just a feast of the 20th century when it got the stall findus it's once used in the one that's nice nothing bad as so many perilous regard to strangers to understanding on not on the standing for them to feeling at home somewhere on nots. to housing really begin to ordination so many sarah let's go here and now that it's just shocking that's the sign but it shouldn't just that's why she devoted her latest cd to find out it was recorded with the city of birmingham symphony orchestra whose

music director she's been for the past 3 years she's the 1st woman to hold the position her predecessors includes her simon rattle in under its name sons who also started their world careers with this orchestra. an essential part of her concept for birmingham has been inclusive singing festivals in the past baltic oral tradition. and for fans of contemporary music concerts with the birmingham contemporary music or. 'd near gave herself her 2nd surname which means silence in lithuania it's perhaps in tribute to her homeland where the landscape is so vast. but her childhood was filled with music as the daughter of a pianist and

a choir master. this is my evening sitting that we need is one of my favorite and memories my mother practicing piano preparing for x. samson concerts and so on and i lay in bed busied myself with other things but always heard her practicing tunes away that was less funny for mr z. . she also finds these moments of bliss in me just walk feinberg's music which is surprising because the life of the persecuted jews exiled to moscow during the stalinist era was an unhappy. maybe. it is you would he's polling is jewish but he was also a soviet man a man who lived in soviet union and this cultural heritage also burden which we still have to bear has so much that i rediscover and recognize and of course there

is also the great cry for freedom here in the index music. didn't go all cintra enough i didn't want in my next music lithuanians fought for their freedom with human chains and forbidden folk songs near ago later appeared on television was one of those songs as a child of that baltic singing revolution. it parent is a committed european who also relies on the power of music amid the chaos of. vibe we must continue to create lng spittoon cultures and that is what we want and will do all the more no matter what happens in the end was the end of us either. british designer and artist lim brandon mari has a vivid imagination to say the least he creates what can only be described as out

of this world wearable sculptures often brimming with all sorts of religious imagery and always very detailed he uses a special kind of latex made from a secret concoction of his own so that these extraordinary clothes can actually be worn by models and they can move around in. these dresses make models look almost like sculptures of angels for example. or of gloomy beings from the underworld. the designs of british artist liam brandon murray looked as if they were chiseled in stone. like the dark side of russian. as well as the light side you know just as much i'm pretty much put in yeah i'm very much like the black. started creating

these details dresses about 12 years ago. studio he works more like a sculptor than a tailor 1st created models from clay before making plaster it's not fast fashion. so if we take the big black dress for example if i was to start from the sculpting process so completely from scratch i had no sculptures of the big black dress would probably take a round about 2 years to make. it takes his inspiration from insects aliens and he even makes shoes. tex mixture that he developed himself. so what we have here these 7 different substances mixed together and especially greedy and i throw in there that among this gross but this makes it

a lot quicker are a lot stronger. more longevity and with this substance even washable. the designs really come to life in the right environment such as an elephant in the castle park. and. the models are not used to wearing such unusual creations. it's a little bit hard i will say it's very it's lighter than you think because it's quite supported at my head so it's not hard to ask and do you see anything i can see a lot right. but that's not the point right now the model is part of an artwork . would you worth something like. i love to be able to wear something like that's. not my style i'm not into skulls and things

like that. yeah very different could be the clothes for the future in i never know kind of like them i mean different is and it's not something i would wear out and publicly looks the part is crazy. anyone wearing a dress like this is trying to draw attention to the references to religion also a round curiosity this is a kind of reaction to that like people are fascinated by the conceit to cause it to get a response like this is. exactly what it would for. there's no doubt about it liam brandon murray's designs are certainly i capture is. extraordinary finally a look at a very special kind of cartography making panoramic maps are more optimistic than technical they are normal photographic representation of landscapes or cities which

offer the observer more of a bird's eye view of an area than a conventional and also a kind of. 3 dimensional view as well giving a realistic look to the area in question perhaps the best examples to illustrate are always panoramic maps of the mountains. there's always that one moment bewilderment in the mountains this vastness beauty products how small we are it's impossible to grasp all of that. then there's that moment in front of a panorama that in which absolute clarity reigns the mountainous masses so beautifully tidy it up finally understanding the mountain like a soaring bird what a swindle. but all the cottons and our town around the maps are by no means images of reality they actually

reinvent reality they distort mountains they turn them around if you look at it with an exact scientific view nothing at all is true on a panorama mapped over in a pot on the cutting edge comics. can around the naps are intended for promotional purposes. they must emphasize polish up omit. this is the map of the 1976 winter olympics. to see fade reach more than 2000 meters high should actually be here it was left up because it would have blocked the view of important venues and no one notices panorama painters constantly cross the line between reproduction and interpretation to this day the difficult question at the start of every new map is how do you paint a landscape that no human being can grasp in nature english which is further is one of the few remaining masters of this art her current assignment is to unite 9 ski

resorts on like a majority about 2000 square kilometers. to just one square meter. the preparations take 2 months including online image research since the areas too large to capture with one aerial camera. then. painting. with the arrival of google earth everyone thought at 1st that the computer would replace everything anyway and people often try to depict a cycle path or a hiking path with those images under the test and you can do that if you have only one mountain but if you have the concepts of in mind and the space you're meant to represent is bigger and some things become more important or unimportant then no computer program can do that this kind of computer poker. can around the mountains don't show us mountains as they are but as we and magine on their images like epic
