10:32 am
how it's done. 2 2 instead he played the pheromone without touching it. moving once it will move in the air the notes float on around so i can play a note here or here or here or here. carolyn or ike numbers among the world's best there are many players she's an echo classic award winner and performs regularly as a soloist of the world over here in concert with the presses philharmonic.
10:33 am
she also plays electronic music she wrote herself 2. ehrman sets up an electro magnetic field like me influenced by the human body that in turn changes the sound. upright antenna determines the pitch when i move towards the antenna the picture rises. and this little 1010 you're on the other side controls the value so if i move further away the sound gets louder. russian physicist liane there and then unveiled the instrument 920 some of the musicians and bands who have experimented with it since are the beach boys led zeppelin tom waits and as john me shows yaar. the movie going

public is familiar with the sound of this forbear of the synthesizer from horror and science fiction films it's still used occasionally on soundtracks even now. because this tradition came about because when the famine was 1st developed musicians played with lots of abroad even on the violin and other instruments. among us if you apply that to their fareham and it sounds a bit spooky. carolyn our very 1st fareham and at age 7 she learned to play from among others the inventors own grand niece. by age 16 she developed a new technique that's now in general use worldwide that allows the musician to play with far greater precision the instrument reacts to every slightest movement.
10:35 am
ever if i so much as brain. changes the sound. so to play a very precise night i have to stay completely still things but if i play notes more freely in an experimental performance for instance i can move my entire body to. carolina i'd spent some years in stockholm leipzig in los angeles recently moving back to berlin normally she would be playing concerts the world over with the corona pandemic raging she has no live appearances instead she's been working on a new album and passing on her expertise they have about a month i've been writing my 2nd primer for the ferryman 15 years ago i wrote my 1st one and now i'm putting out
10:36 am
a supplement of course i'd be happy to see people learn from it and the ferryman becoming more widely looked. settle him. the fair man was one of the 1st electronic instruments now 100 years after it was invented it still sounds futuristic. but christmas is over but some people still keep the christmas tree until the end of january then on strong onto the sidewalk where the trash collectors pick it up sometimes the trees abroad to visit for the animals to snack on have you ever wondered how it tastes i actually haven't but an austrian ecologist was curious and decided to take a bite and he discovered that you actually can eat your christmas tree.
10:37 am
wood candy. the christmas tree looks good enough to eat literally. on a christmas tree is actually a food with a very exciting taste that just stands in our living rooms and has never been eaten before. but let's start at the very beginning to its season and is a wood plant ecologist from austria in a forest outside of vienna he collects wood to use as an ingredient in some ingenious recipes trees aren't just for building and decorating they can be tasty treats or wood has an incredible variety of flavors everything really from the oak trees vanilla and chocolate the taste with a bit of coconut to the populars honey flavor or the alder tree with a touch of raspberry it's really an unbelievable range. just like the bark of a cinnamon tree species can also be tapped to use as spices his favorite is finally
10:38 am
ground pine bark. flavor is very interesting it's very intensive with a resinous touch to it as you might imagine but also if you know the taste of really dark chocolate the 100 percent cocoa type it also has a bit of that. the trees edible layer is called the can be and it carries water up the trunk into the branches and crown caesar got the idea to sample the cambium while out canoeing one day and he observed a beaver family on the shore. a light bulb went on in my head who would know better about the taste of the tree than the beaver that list from it and always looks quite well fed. so i started to try out the bark and cambium from various trees. those are the parts the beavers actually eat. a college and eating. 2 interests that go together quite well the woodland who are may has
10:39 am
a rather original plan for discarded christmas trees. so he's now i'll show you how you can prepare the entire christmas tree by from the needles down to the bark cambium and even the wood on 1st of course the decorations come off then the pine has to be stripped down. 2 for the 1st course the needles are ground up and mixed with knots parmesan cheese and or oil to make a creamy pesto. to get to the juicy cambium the bark has to be peeled away from the trunk it can be fried in oil to make ultra crispy and surprisingly delicious chips. for dessert i'm sure dries the pine bark and bakes cookies with it. he has to grind it up very fine. mixed with butter sugar and
10:40 am
a little flour it yields a dove with a somewhat chocolaty flavor. or and and lastly the ground dark is mixed in and the oven a wonderful pine aroma one fold. and so with a little preparation and a bit of imagination you don't need to sit down at an empty table you can have a 3 course christmas tree meal next year the old tree won't get thrown out but cooked baked served up and eaten the woodland ecologist has no doubt whatsoever. my business tree tastes better than any holiday dinner.

10:42 am
paltrow and elton john are among her fans and her even appeals to the queen. strands of broaches knocking. using these and other costume jewelry this artist constructs a sparkling gallion in arduous and painstaking detail. my mind's eye on towns and i'm an artist and i make sculptures like this from objects or other people might throw away. discarded hangers become the focus of a hint chris. old buttons are transformed into a postage stamp some compass cans and bottle caps busts modeled in classical tradition and carrington turned junk into. i like using materials that other people don't notice and bring bring them to their
10:43 am
attention something that might be overlooked like a button or a button copy that require beautiful playing think it's nice to shine a light on moving objects and for people to see them in a different light. this b.k. of flowers is also made of scrap metal. the british artist. is. now as. she was well. into a much nisson range meant to flower as the impulse to create this sculpture came from all those monster paintings this was. that i saw in painting in the rights museum. and i decided that i wanted to make a sculpture inspired by his still life painting. now i'm carrington's own
10:44 am
extravagance been kayser being exhibited in the victorian albert museum in london these elaborate pieces cost up 210-0000 euros many celebrities are already having carrington it. also appeals to the taste of british royalty. in 2012 for the 60th jubilee of queen elizabeth the 2nd and carrington constructed an opulent run up from about half a 1000000 golden buttons the design was developed in close consultation with prince charles the banner was great to over the stern of the ship in which the ball family embarked on a parade cruise. with the amazing and of course 3 years i've been making. the queen. and me making. her with wonderful. carrington finds the material for her office in junk shops like this one in her adopted hometown of margate in south east england. specific objects often captures her attention becoming the foundation for a new piece of work. i use
10:45 am
a lot of similar materials to make my artwork lots of multiples and i when i come somewhere like this i'm going to find multiples. if i don't have enough hair sometimes i'll go on the. scrap yard. an auction during her studies more than 30 years ago and caring to was a ready working with found everyday objects she used a wide variety of materials including 10 but this one still tempts i'd actually like to work with glass so i recently did a glass course and now. i can blast a little bit but i'm still no expert but. i've been looking at objects like this been thinking wouldn't it be fascinating to build maybe crystal flowers for. building blocks using curfew buckles. no
10:46 am
matter what material she gets her hands on and carrington turns in conspicuous junk into beautiful parks of what. it's called the land of fire and ice and for good reason iceland is home to some of the world's most active one k. nose and largest glaciers in fact the biggest glacier in europe is in iceland for our series europe so the next we send your america's report ahead with varying to brave the cold and explore this extra ordinary place so poorly over cold coals. iceland in winter it's a place of snow and icy extremes this is the largest glacier in europe.
10:47 am
but climate change is endangering of crevasses ice caves and floating ice bergs high time quick lot on foot. or for a rather large wheel. but neither could glacier it is actually an enormous ice cap in southeast iceland with the volume of some 3000 cubic kilometers no other glacier in western europe holds more it stretches over 140 kilometers east to west across the island southeast. the western tip lies over 300 kilometers from the capital they can be along the southern ring broke. my 1st destination is an ice skate at the glaciers edge. far venture.
10:48 am
the case can only be reached in a specially adept sheep if all goes well the trip takes about half an hour. but the weather in iceland is quite unpredictable the road conditions to. we cover the final stretch of the journey on foot what was the glacier itself aren't on we are here at one of the volcano you're coots 40 some glacier tops the ice caves underneath are a popular tourist attraction. the think of their eyes and the less oxygen it contains the more intense of the color. if you see the video i see the camera here. if it's not until. it's leading you. guys tapes
10:49 am
can only be entered safety during the winter months when the ice overhead steve after it warms up many of them disappear forever. in the summertime the temperature goes up the ice is melting and we've got water flowing this is cutting the ice which is creating the caves but also the glaciers are retreating because of global warming so when we go to the cave at the edge of the glacier the next year it's ringback more probably got the melted now we have to go looking for new. the next day i approach europe's largest glacier from another side. richard bell is taking me to another glacier tom. the higher we climb the ice year it gets.
10:50 am
here i'm beginning to realize the true dimensions of this glacier. the ice reaches a maximum of 950 meters thick but like most glaciers these days the outlook is retreating. likewise there was almost a top of that large. there that was kind of the level of the price. so it's gone mad. yeah like to have come at us last 100 years it's a very fragile cat or glass or if you want so when are that china going to last another sort of trade of 300 years and then rest of it will be gone. in our descent the storm took us by surprise. at the foot of the volcano you could glacier confronted with the vastness of nature and suddenly feel very very small. blip was
10:51 am
far more extreme than i expected with all the storms of the ice fingers it was just reminding. me. let's go back indoors now over the past 20 years munich based staff and its has created a wide range of everyday objects his designs are the combination of traditional craftsmanship and the latest technologies he has a look at some of his newest and a what's winning creations. colorful minimalistic and clever objects designed by munich stefan dietz range from lamps to furniture to table where. else they have one thing in common understated functionality
10:52 am
just as good design has a lot to do with acrobatics a good ass or bad can manage to make things look elegant even if they're very complex. or complex and. his newest design is a floor lamp that functions without joints instead to move will clips attached to an electrical cord and now the fiberglass rod to be adjusted to position the lamp is made of mostly recycled materials and can be disassembled without the use of tools it was definite deets the german sustainability award for 2021. we made i know it's lamp here almost 5 metres high we came up with this concept a flexible rod with a super lightweight shade attached and we tried to push it to the extreme. so we can put the lamp in a corner and eliminate a dinner table almost 3 metres away. at the floor level for manufacture i'm it is based on their well known model type 113
10:53 am
a desk lamp designed from 1923 which is one of the 1st serially produced adjustable lamps world war heat. products that were last manufactured for the companies or bauhaus designs which were very mechanical with this background my idea was to do the exact opposite of what they had to be something that was kind of the antithesis of this 1920 s. mechanics with that's once you got it. creating contemporary form from traditional design designed to bend to a chair in 2007 implying a process that uses steam to bend toward the viennese torn it brothers company may design. street with that coffee house chair inventing the technique in the middle of the 19th century. geeks further developed the bent toward method for his contemporary chair designs. he also combines industrial assembly with design in 2011 the chest the office chair he designed for
10:54 am
the german manufacturer of il khan was released it uses materials for undercarriage uncomforting production in the auto industry and was awarded the prestigious red dot design awards a development took 4 years because of course you can't just walk up to b.m.w. or mercedes and say let's make a chair some designer they don't know approaches them with an idea and of course the company wants to know if they should invest in the project so for me a lot of time goes into this kind of research into finding a partner who wants to work on the project. the element of craft you know for and to do before studying industrial design he completed an apprenticeship as a company today in his munich studio together with poor product design as he develops designs that are produced by such prestigious labels as. 15. i think design is primarily about a light touch even if your ambition for a project or project is immense you can't lead to imbue the process with happiness
10:55 am
. that has a lot to do with humor and you have to succeed in taking a playful approach. like that dietz has already designed around 50 products he likes to think outside the box and meanwhile has become one of the most important german designers working today his most recent project is a modulus ofa since them the slip covers can be changed quickly and easily proving that. a flexible and sustainable approach to design never goes out of style. and that brings us to the end of i want to show but visit us online where you will find many more interesting reports as well as our viewer draw we're giving away this backpack full off goodies join us again next week bye bye.
