a look at what else we have in store. he copes with actual sawdust and dark meat the kitchen was served to stefan he's not. and he won't let himself be pinned down the violinist is found our big giant plays across all musical songs. but 1st up as you know with the right photo editing software you can perform magic on just about any picture and that is what russian instagram artist igor the chance k. has done with album covers now he likes to incorporate himself into legendary scenes of the beatles madonna and guitarist tom petty among many others for the results are a funny take on the original cover and they're proving to be quite popular on instagram here's a closer look. baring her next tune. and what is david bowie up to. the russian

instagram a chance he gives famous album covers a new back story and gives himself a role in music history. thing for me to make people laugh and sometimes i think i managed to do that with the pursuit of common stuff people write i mean sometimes people take a joke even further for the 4th joke about what they see and that's the best feedback i can get. some. humor creativity and a willingness to improvise a key cheering photo shoot chance he's covered as. today the idea is to turn the band queen into a 4 headed giant holding him in its hand. the 24 year old poses in front of the green screen that makes it easy to insert his photo into the covers later university student. helps him get the idea shape

chance he meets him regularly at a university photo studio. it's all extremely spontaneous we usually don't even prepare props or anything and during the photo shoot we figure out that we need something a piece of clothing or an object to find something at the studios with. the 2 friends usually edit the photos together. they try to match the details to the original and to get the proportions just right they only take about an hour to work on each cover live chance he started this project almost 2 years ago now he uploads a new photo every few weeks he has nearly 27000 followers on instagram already. from hip hop to classic rock feel take on any style of music and any musician.

everywhere he goes live chance is always listening to music his favorite genre is our indie rock and hip hop he's been living in volgograd since he started university concerts by international bands a fairly rare here even though more than a 1000000 people live in this city on the volga river are. nevertheless music inspires chance in all areas of his life including in his work as an advertising copywriter. if you're bored by making this album covers i try to become part of the music scene part of the culture. i don't make music myself i'm not good at making music thanks to the covers i can somehow be closer to the musicians and i love that. if chance he is always hoping for a reaction to his album parodies most of all from the musicians themselves he takes them in his posts and has even gotten

a few likes from the stars for him cover art isn't just something for vinyl collectors. from the age of the internet album covers are still very important because they are the face of an album is the 1st thing that a listener comes across even before they've listened to the music even if they've streamed online or. after more than 80 edited chance keep. is still enjoying his project just as much as when he started. the instagram already has a lot of ideas for his page the next one is to try and edges himself into music videos one thing is clear chance his creativity music will remain a jumping off point. now things are about to get cold and dangerous in our new series euro max to the max we send our reporters to some of the most challenging destinations around europe and today we are visiting a small town that is home to just over 2000 people and they share that space with

polar bears now it's not an easy place to live as our reporter nicole found out. that. it almost seems like the north pole is just over the horizon a last outpost of civilization in the frozen north you may well be wondering where on earth i am i'm in longyearbyen and small part. i'm in europe's northernmost town and that is by far not the only record long year be in holes this norwegian city is a place of extremes and today i want to show them all to you. just getting here is an odyssey from berlin and i make my way to oslo from there it's another 3 hour flight and i reach my destination there i am greeted by the archipelagos most famous residents of polar bears.

to solve our lives about halfway between the northern tip of norway and the north pole longer being with a population of around $2100.00 is the largest settlement is on the $78.00 north parallel no other settlement with over a 1000. residents lies farther north. time for a 1st look around but i'd rather go in the company of my guide frederick's rubric and tess rifle polar bears could be anywhere here real ones this time. this is the best things with you when you go outside this town no secret trick to scare them away you know is to different kinds of bears and there were black bears brown bess and white bears. if it's wrong ledo if it's black fightback if it's white good let. not

all animals here are quite a scary longer being is home to about a 1000 huskies out insult it takes care of 100 of them. to still. rise of these are the no don't came here in 2014 from mainland norway for about a year now he's been running the sled doc candle even in summer when there's no snow on the ground he and his employees take the huskies out every day in any weather. it's so dramatic all the time even if you just if you look at that local over there we can still see it but in certain situations here as well but with the snowstorms and the weather there could be a point where you call get help if something goes wrong i call that these you can make a bonfire if you get cold air you don't have a fire with because there's no trees or. the lack of firewood isn't the only hardship and this former mining town. due to the

permafrost all of the homes here are built on stilts. it's practically impossible to raise livestock or farm still someone was brave enough to try benjamin vit mark a chef from the us. house some green finally he plans. herbs and vegetables and his polar greenhouse. and even the arctic. is a group of. benjamin 1st came back in 2007 and fell in love with the place the only problem was the lack of greens but i wasn't happy with the food situation you know you pay 50 kroner for iceberg lettuce that's a lot of money for iceberg lettuce and the stink in home i would never even eat i wouldn't even need if somebody gave it to me but here i'm like a hot hot iceberg lettuce you know you have to eat because you don't have anything

else and i just was so frustrated you know this is i have to do something either i leave or i have to do something. now he supplies local restaurants like the group of lager and with his arms here fine dining is served up in the former coalmining warehouse head chef philip has served the likes of the norwegian royal family. philip has lived in longer being for 3 years as a chef year he's got to meticulously plan every meal well in advance. or the amount for a month to hit and very often we run out of something and you don't have a place where you can go and buy. so we have this. good gracious here we go the restaurants so if i run out of something i will go out take it from get a restaurant. the next morning i prepared to make an expedition.

frederick train back takes me to one of the nearby fjords. he wants to show me the wall of the 2 numbering type water glacier. every time some small boat or felt in nature or the like this difference and that's makes it very special because it's like seeing a new place every time your thought. i'm truly impressed with long here being the northernmost town on earth. here in longyearbyen i've encountered far more extremes than i could have hoped for no polar bears but i did meet a bunch of extremely kind hearted people who all seem to share a deeply rooted passion for this truly extraordinary place extremely worth of it's . rude. to

his friends and family know him as parents have fallen but the rest of the world knows him as d.j. bobo this western music producer made a name for himself in the 1990 s. with a string of dance hits suspect he is the magic. number never. like somebody trying to get started. in your remarks sat down with d.j. bobo for an exclusive interview to talk about his life and career. d.j. for that if we brought some pictures for you can you show us the 1st one sure i'm curious. oh oh. is that classic d.j.o. that gets it because sure the ringmaster that's from 2014 i like that yeah that's me. you've performed all over the world which audiences have you most enjoyed the latinos latinos when you perform in europe it's a bit like

a football game 1st you have to deliver the goods and the audience will give you something back if you don't play well the crowd will stay firmly in their seats but if you play well there on your side. in south america the audience is in charge from the very start they're louder than you are. so you have a very emotionally charged intense relationship with them and they have got another . oh no that's how the way giving me a bravo auto award. that was a long time ago and you can still feel stadiums what's your secret. yeah. actually we've been trying to figure that out ourselves for years i always say to my people guys to stay ahead of the game and that's where we're going to. i don't mean just in terms of success but in terms of growth we're always driven to

discover something new and put it on stage and i think a lot of people come to our show to experience that fusion of big hits and innovation at least i hope they do. and hopefully this is. what you prefer champagne no smoothies smoothies sports car a bike. say the sports car the city of the countryside the countryside cooking and baking. i can't do either even though i trained as a baker. baker. baking is definitely easier baking the mountains of the ocean the ocean. and we've got a photograph for you. oh lovely africa where was it taken. must have been ethiopia it was just good business and. all in swat about us i was visiting a school nutrition projects programs run for the us you were there with the un's

world food programme that's what can we learn from africa. says today enjoy life the people there respect nature most of us here in the west are mainly concerned with things that really aren't very important things to all they have to take care of the very basic matters like making sure they get enough to eat and being part of their communities and. the special forces what we can learn is that they're probably happier than we are because we're constantly wanting more and more standish for me to meet the you know what's your proudest achievement. of to my 2 children so they're the best things i've ever done. and i thank you d.j. but i thank you. and you can see that interview again on our you tube channel turning now to another swiss innovator chef chef on these now when he strolls through the forest in his

native switzerland he takes home everything he can find with him from haiti and stones to wood or action and it all ends up in his kitchen now in his search for new flavors the star chef works together with forester's perf you murs and archaeologists we join him out in the woods to find out how to cook award winning dishes with sawdust. out in the swiss mountains with his dog. they're looking for some tasty pieces of wood this spruce tree seems promising. with pretty much all the trees that grow in switzerland almost. today. on spring pine. the 1st thing he does is sniff it. as it is charles fabulous stone by.

the trees or will be captured in the dish he's planning. for ingredients. these pieces of pumpkin have been lying on and a few days give the pumpkin an added flavor. a wonderful citric because of all the. better the limits. for the last 25 years and his team at the. in the village. have been serving up swiss nature on a plate sometimes some heavyweight appliances are needed the pine bark is turned into shavings and put in a cooking pot. shavings.

there distilled into a vinegar that has a delicate taste. uses the vinegar as flavoring. it goes well with venison. the garnish is roasted. and stone pine nuts. composed of 100 percent natural ingredients the 2nd course is the former acid flavored pumpkin which is supposedly also very healthy these now once his dishes to. the sense of his signature style has earned him all sorts of nicknames. stories the kitchen alchemist all the sorcerer. is just a few of the ways people have described make it slow. he works his magic in an old barn this is where business stores his ingredients. he called.

this pine bark dates back to the stone age it's 14000 years old there was found in a prehistoric forest buried in the lone. we use it to smoking greedy and. he also finds a use for rusty nails and horseshoes and even stones the inventive chef turns them into flour made of swiss light iron form and granite. style. flour made of rock or minerals is very healthy so long as you don't eat too much of it already granted every day and it does me a lot of good to this. today he's using it to make a dessert ice cream made of stone flour and served on stone.
