2:32 pm
how it's done. 2 2 instead he played the pheromone without touching it. very big ones 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 brussels philharmonic.
2:33 pm
she also plays electronic music she wrote herself. 2 fehrman sets up an electro magnetic field like me influenced by the human body that in turn changes the sound. base upright antenna determines the pitch when i move towards the antenna the pitch rises. and this little 1010 you're on the other side controls the volume so if i move further away the sound gets louder. russian physicist liane there and then unveiled the instrument in 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
2:34 pm
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 pheromone was 1st developed musicians played with lots of abroad even on the violin and other instruments. among us if you apply that to the thera many it sounds a bit spooky. carolyn i got her very 1st fareham and at age 7 she learned to play from among others the inventor's own grandniece. 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.
2:35 pm
ever if i so much as bream. that it changes the sound. so to play a very precise note i have to stay completely still i think. but if i play notes more freely in an experimental performance for instance i can move my entire body to. carolina i 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 a huge crime about a month right i've been writing my 2nd primer for the ferryman 15 years ago i wrote my 1st one and now i'm putting out a supplement of course i'd be happy to see people learn from it and the ferryman

becoming more widely. settle him. the fair man was one of the 1st electronic instruments now 100 years after it was invented it still sounds futuristic. christmas is over but some people still keep the christmas tree until the end of january then out strong on to the sidewalk where the trash collectors pick it up sometimes the trees are brought 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.
2:37 pm
wood candy. the christmas tree looks good enough to eat literally. on our 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 woodland ecologist from austria in a forest outside of vienna he collects wood to use as an ingredient in some ingenious recipes trees ringback 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 with a but i. just like the bark of a cinnamon tree species can also be tapped to use as spices his favorite is finally
2:38 pm
ground plain 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 alah 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 a 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. ecology and eating. are 2 interests that go together quite well the woodland gourmet has
2:39 pm
a rather original plan for discarded christmas trees. for you guys 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. first of course the decorations come off then the pine has to be stripped down. for the 1st course the needles are ground up and mixed with knots parmesan cheese and oil to make a creamy pasto. to get to the juicy candy and the bark has to be peeled away from the trunk it can be fried in oriel to make crispy and surprisingly delicious chips. for dessert to work dries the pine bark and bakes cookies with it. has to grind it
2:40 pm
up very fine. mixed with butter sugar and a little flour it yields of dough with a somewhat chocolaty flavor. or and and lastly the ground dark is mixed in and the oven a wonderful pine aroma long fold and hard. 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.

2:42 pm
paltrow and elton john are among her fans and her even appeals to the queen. strands of broaches knocking. and using these and other costume jewelry this artist constructs a sparkling gallion in arduous and painstaking detail. my names and towns and i'm an artist and i make scope just like this from objects or other people might throw i. discarded hangers become the focus of a head dress. old buttons are transformed into a postage stamp some compass cans and bottle caps busts modeled in classical tradition. carrington turned junk into. i like using materials that other people don't notice and bring bring them to their
2:43 pm
attention something that might be overlooked like a button or a button copy that would be quite beautiful thing i 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 thomas well it's a little snipes for these things of that petals and stems of flowers as. she was. silverware into a much mistress and rangelands of flowers the impulse to create this sculpture came from old monster paintings this was inspired by a that i saw in a painting in the rights museum in. and i decided that i wanted to make a sculpture inspired by his still life painting. now i'm carrying only extravagant

bouquets are being exhibited in the victoria and 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 of the 60 s jubilee of queen elizabeth the 2nd and carrington constructed an opulent banner from about half a 1000000 golden buttons the design was developed in close consultation with prince charles the banner was great over the stern of the ship in which the ball family embarked on a parade cruise. up with the amazing and of course for you are we making. the queen. and actually making. her with wonderful. carrington finds the material for her ass in junk shops like this one in her adopted hometown of margate in south east england. a specific object often captures her attention becoming the foundation for a new piece of work. i use
2:45 pm
a lot of similar materials to make my artworks what's with multiples and i when i come somewhere a lot because i'm going to find multiples. if i don't have enough hair sometimes i'll go on a. scrap yard. an auction. during her studies more than 30 years ago and carrying to was a ready working with found everyday objects she used a wide variety of materials including 10 but there's one that still tempts i've actually liked 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 be fascinating to build maybe crystal flowers for. building blocks using perfume bottles. no
2:46 pm
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 i just let us home to some of the world's most active volcanoes 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 a vetting to brave the cold and explore this extra ordinary place so poor only overcalled it will get colds. iceland in winter it's a place of snow and icy extremes this is the largest glacier in europe.
2:47 pm
but climate change is endangering its crevices of ice caves and causing icebergs high time quick thought on board. or on for a rather large wheel. but neither could glacier 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 take along the southern ring wrote. my 1st destination is an ice cave at the glaciers edge. by her far ventura. became can only be reached in
2:48 pm
a specially adapted sheet if all goes well the trip takes about half an hour. but the weather in iceland is quite unpredictable the road conditions took. we cover the final stretch of the journey on foot what was the glacier these aren't we are here at one of the bottom of your kids 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. when you see. the color this is it's mind blowing.
2:49 pm
it's leading you to just caves can only be entered safety during the winter months when the ice overhead stayed. after it warms up many of them disappear forever. in the summer time. 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 most probably gone it's a melted where we have to go looking for. the next day i approached europe's largest glacier from another side. richard bellows taking me to another glacier tongue. the higher we climbed the ice here and.
2:50 pm
here i'm beginning to realize the true dimensions of this glacier. the ice reaches a maximum of 950 meters thick bugs like most glaciers these days the outlook is retreating. likewise there was almost a top of that large. that was kind of the level of the guys here. that's gone mad. yeah i try to have colorado i was under the it's a very fragile organizer if you want so when are that santa going to last another sort of target of 300 years and then most of it will be gone. in our descent the storm took us by surprise. at the foot of the book no you could glacier confronted with the vastness of nature and suddenly feel very very small. bird was
2:51 pm
far more extreme than i expected with all the storms of the ice it was just removing. the a. 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 awards winning creations. colorful minimum mistake and clever optics designs by munich stefan dietz range from lamps to furniture to table one. and above all else they have one thing in common understated functionality just as i don't feel good design has
2:52 pm
a lot to do with acrobatics about come a good ass a bag 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 for the house joints instead to move all clips attached to an electrical cord and now the fiberglass route to be adjusted to any position the lamp is made of mostly recycled materials and can be disassembled. without. it one stefan dietz the german sustainability award for 2021 to dump it in 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 illuminated dinner table almost 3 metres away. the floor level to manufacture a myth god is based on a well known model type 113
2:53 pm
a desk lamp design from 1923 it was one of the 1st serially produced adjustable lamps. the products that were last manufactured for the companies or bauhaus designs which were very mechanical and with this background my idea was to do the exact opposite that they had to be something that was kind of the antithesis of this 1920 s. mechanics for the exits once you got it. creating contemporary form from traditional design designed to bend to a chair in 2007 employing a process that uses steam to bend toward the peonies torn it brothers company made design history with their coffeehouse chair inventing the technique in the middle of the 19th century. keeps 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
2:54 pm
the german manufacturer of income which released its uses materials for undercarriage uncomforting production in the auto industry and was awarded the prestigious red dot design award the 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 will work the element of craft is not foreign to geeks before studying industrial design he competed in apprenticeship as a company today means munich studio together with 4 product designers he develops designs the top produced by such prestigious labels as most also or he 15 by this idea that i think design is primarily about a light touch even if you're in bishan for a project or project is immense you can't lead to imbue the process with heaviness
2:55 pm
. if that's what has a lot to do with humor and you have to succeed in taking a playful approach. like through sequences that deeks 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 modern listen for system the slip covers can be changed quickly and easily proving that stefan dietz now a flexible and sustainable approach to design never goes out of style. and that brings us to the end of our 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 by by no.
