if you come across a pull over on one of these. you don't have a car and i think. pretty much. hand on that note hello and welcome to another edition of euro max i'm your host meghan li we'll find out later on if our reporter actually came face to face with a polar bear but here's a look at what else we have in store. he copes with that just on us and bark we think kitchen wizard just to fund these now. and he won't let himself be pinned down the violinist is kind our big giant plays across all musical zones.

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 he has done with album covers how he likes to incorporate himself into legendary scenes of the beatles madonna and guitarist tom petty among many others while 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. madonna bearing her next tune. and what is david bowie up to here out. of the russian instagram a chance he gives famous album covers a new back story and gives himself a role in music history. from one of the in thing for me is to make people laugh and sometimes i think i managed to do that to see the comments that people write

and sometimes people take a joke even further wonderful or joke about what they see and that's the best feedback i can get. out. creativity and a willingness to improvise a kid you're in photo shoots philip 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 easier to insert his photo into the covers later university student pillai yes helps him get the idea shape chance he meets him regularly at a university photo studio. but it's all extremely spontaneous we usually don't even prepare a props or anything and during the photo shoot we figure out that we need something a piece of clothing or an object and we find something in the studio with. the true

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 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 hill take on any style of music and any musician. everywhere he goes live chance he is always listening to music his favorite genre indie rock and hip hop he's been living in volgograd since he started university concerts by international bands are fairly rare here even though more than

a 1000000 people live in this city on the volga river. nevertheless music inspires chance in all areas of his life including in his work as an advertising copywriter . if you're brought to me by making this album covers i try to the comparator 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 are from the age of the internet album covers are still very important because they are the face of elton is the 1st thing that a listener comes across even before they've listened to the music even if they've streamed it online or. after more than edited chance is still enjoying his project

just as much as when he started. the instagram already has a lot of ideas for his page he next wants to try and edges himself into music videos one thing is clear for equal chance his creativity music will always 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 room. borders 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 firth found out. 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 mean long european and small part. i'm in your northernmost town and that is by far not the only record long european holds this norwegian city is a place of extremes and today i want to show them all to you. just getting here as an odyssey from berlin i make my way to oslo from there it's another 3 hour flight i reach my destination there i am greeted by the archipelagos most famous residents the polar bears. solve hard lines about halfway between the northern tip of norway and the north pole longer being with a population of around $2100.00 as 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 am tez rifle polar bears could be anywhere here real ones this time. this is the best thing to with you when you go outside this town no secret trick to scare them away you know as to different kinds of bears and there were black. and white bears. if it's well if it's black fightback if it's white good luck it. not all animals here are quite a scary longer being is home to about a 1000 huskies oh didn't sounds it takes care of 100 of them. to still. rise and these are the lowdown came here in 2014 from mainland norway for about

a year now he's been running the sled dock kennel 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're just if you look at that float over there we can still see it but in certain situations here as well but with the snowstorms on the weather that could be were you called to help if something goes wrong i call that this you can make a bonfire if you get cold air you don't have a fire with because there's no trees. 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 that morning a chef from the u.s. . house green by the way he plans herbs and vegetables and his polar

greenhouse. can you tease the arctic. is a good. benjamin 1st came a small bird 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 your place is to chroma for iceberg lettuce that's a lot of money. iceberg lettuce and stinking home i would never even eat i wouldn't even need if somebody gave it to me but here i'm like. 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 groovy lager and with his arms here fine dining is served up in a former coalmining warehouse head chef phillips 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 planned every meal well in advance had made to order a month for a month to hit and very often we run out of something and you don't have a place you can go and buy. so we have this. good gracious here we go the restaurants so if i run out of something i would go out because from gather strength. the next morning i prepared to make an expedition. frederick's friend back takes me to one of the nearby fjords. he wants to show me the wall of the 2 numbering tidewater glacier.

every time we come to a small boat or get all to nature there like this difference and that's makes it very special because it's like seeing a new place every time you 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 . his friends and family know him as pay to 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 struck me as the match to the would never spend

the money to try it again and start the school. year max sat down with d.j. bobo for an exclusive interview to talk about his life and career. d.j. for that we brought some pictures for you can you show us the 1st one sure i'm curious. for. 2 fish is that classic d.j. but that's 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 in 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 picture for you take a look. oh no that's how the way giving me a bravo auto or. that was a long time ago but you can still feel stadiums what's your secret. 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 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. i hope it's. what you prefer champagne. 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. lovely africa where was it taken it must have been ethiopia. business i'm. going thought about us i was visiting a school nutrition project was programs to run for the us you were there with the un's world food programme that's what can we learn from africa. they enjoyed life the people they 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 that 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 konami are what you're proudest achievement. of to my 2 children so they're the best things i've ever done. and i thank you d.j. thank you 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 you can find with him from haiti and stones to water add 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 what to find out how to cook award winning

dishes with sawdust. out in the swiss mountains with his. 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. as fast as. today. on spring pine. the 1st thing he does if it. goes stone by. the trees will be captured in addition he's planning.

these pieces of pumpkin have been lying on and. give the pumpkin and added flavor. a wonderful citric. acid they produce. better the elements. for the last 25 years and his team at the. in the village of. 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. that has a delicate taste. these new uses the vinegar as flavoring. for example it goes well with venison.

garnish is roasted pines. needed like a stone pine nuts a dish composed of 100 percent natural ingredients the 2nd course is the 4 make acid flavored pumpkin which is supposedly also very healthy these no once his dishes to. the senses his signature style has earned him all sorts of nicknames. stories the kitchen alchemist or the sorcerer. is just a few of the ways people have described me so. 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 it was found in a prehistoric forest buried in loam but. we use it to smoking 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 ore 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. today he's using it to make a dessert ice cream made of stone flour and served on stone. but. that's a different vision or might be a sorcerer but he's quite a showman too. and his shows can be quite spectacular he prepares bone marrow and full view of the guests they love it and so do the critics on the sneers ancient cuisine has earned him

a michelin star and 17 tokes. that. just stand not to forget the experience they say later they can remember every single thing there and that's what's so special there's nothing else like us. growing number of chefs try to copy stuff on trees their style but they can't keep up he's always refining his technique and recipes and he's not likely to run out of ingredients any time soon. and finally we take a look at a musical prodigy violinist congo where jaya began playing the violin at the age of 4 by the time he was 11 he had been accepted into the college of music in berlin well now at $32.00 he's performing on stages all over the world. did a little bit of. the many faces of

his kind with jaya a musician who doesn't like to be pigeonholed either musically or personally the berliner with indonesian roots is an exceptional violinist who finds inspiration outside the world of classical music some call him eclectic but he says the music is all that matters. we make music to touch people to move them and to reach a point where we ourselves are so touched on stage that we can move others it doesn't work any other way a method of. indonesia is kind are we jaya visit his parents homeland regularly he's a major star here. appearances in commercials and t.v. shows have made him a household name in indonesia here he performs in big concert halls like last year

in jakarta at this benefit gonna for tsunami victims. i tried performing this balancing act popstar in indonesia classical artist in germany hardware but a while back i decided i only come as a package deal with him in the so even if i'm performing entails in indonesia and playing for the president i try to remain true to myself and be as authentic as possible. at a club in cologne germany. doesn't just perform classical music he plays everything from johann sebastian bach to a cover of chandelier from pop star sia. question

it's a she says speak to me and it doesn't matter to me which is genre they belong to that's my goal in concert to break down this compartmentalisation people who come to my concerts should know everything's on offer. as in his music john likes to try out different things and play with his image and not just during photo shoot. on stage i like to wear outfits that underline my interpretive approach so they can vary a lot from extremely simple solid black and totally minimalist to totally over the top it all that's what i like in music to assist us with mr hunter was even closer . he's kind of a giant began playing the violin when he was just 4 he was inspired by his grandfather who was a composer. after studying violin at berlin's university at the arts with jaya

began collaborating with world class conductors like. in berlin he met up with composer geoffrey ching who was born in the philippines and now lives in the german capital ching ri composed a piece by beethoven specially for him he's going to is the most amazing musician i admit because besides his absolute technical preparation in the most difficult and challenging contrapuntal classical works he has a personality of universal appeal. hearing his recording demos for his next album which will boast a colorful mix of styles among other things the musicians. experimenting with a piece by italian baroque composer pietro antonio look at any.

maya list is kind are we jaya a musical maverick at home in many different worlds. and with that it's time to say goodbye as always thanks for joining in and we'll see against their.
