there are many reasons. to play and there are many answers place. and there are many stories some. make up your own mind. playing w. made for mind. if. you can almost feel the freezing cold on europe's biggest glacier and i slept more

on that coming up later in the show. but 1st a very warm welcome to new edition of euro max and this is what else we have in store for you. telling your christmas tree into the new. transforming every day's junk into the main thing 1st. this is not a u.f.o. i'm not trying to contact daily it's actually a musical instrument called berriman all you have to do to play it is without even touching it the instrument uses a magnetic field to create musical tones when i play it it doesn't sound much like music so we met up with one of the best seremban players in the world to show us

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. carolina ike numbers among the world's best there are many players she's an eco classic award winner and performs regularly as a soloist the world over here in concert at the brussels philharmonic 2. she also plays electronic music she wrote herself

2. ehrman sets up an electromagnetic field back me influenced by the human body that in turn changes the sound. this 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

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 the thera men it sounds a bit spooky. carol you know our 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.

ever if i so much as breathe. that changes the sound. so to play a very precise note was i have to stay completely still i think. but if i play notes more freely and then experimental performance for instance i can move my entire body. 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 but 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 history of 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

a supplement of course i'd be happy to see people learn from it and the ferryman becoming more widely. sensible and. the fair man was one of the 1st tronic instruments now 100 years after it was invented it still sounds futuristic. way. 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 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.

wood candy. the christmas tree looks good enough to teach literally. 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. let's start at the very beginning i had to add caesar and la 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 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 taste with a bit of coconut to the populars nuka honey flavor or the alder tree with a touch of raspberry it's really an unbelievable range. just like the bark of a city ministry species can also be tapped to use as spices his favorite is finely

ground plane bark. the 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 cambium it carries water up the trunk into the branches and crown sees that 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 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. ecology and eating. our 2 interests that go together quite well the woodland gourmet has

a rather original plan for discarded christmas trees. so it'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. first 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 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 the oil to make up crispy and surprisingly delicious chips. for dessert to work dries the pine bark and bakes cookies with it. he has to grind

it up very fine. mixed with butter sugar and a little flour it yields of dough with a somewhat chocolaty flavor. or so and lastly the ground dark is mixed in and the oven a wonderful pine aroma one fold. in. the fire. 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.

paltrow and elton john are among her fans and her even shields to the queen. all strands of bridge is blocking. using these and other costume jewelry this artist constructs a sparkling gallion in arduous and painstaking detail. my name's i'm karen's and i'm an artist and i make sculptures like this from objects other people might throw away. discarded hangers become the feathers of ahead chris. the 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

attention something that might be overlooked like a button or a button copy that require a beautiful thing i think it's nice to shine a light on move objects and for people to be able to see them in a different light. this became a flower as is also made of scrap metal. the british artist thomas. spoon is into the. flour as. she. into a magnificent and arrangements of flowers the impulse to create this sculpture came from his monster paintings this was inspired by a that i saw in painting in the rights museum in. and i decided that i wanted to make a sculpture inspired by his still life painting. now under carrington's own

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 happy carington it. also appeals to the taste of british royalty. 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 draped over the stern of the ship in which the ball family embarked on a parade cruise. uplifted amazing and of course for you are making potent mcqueen. and actually making a play. 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. a specific object often captures her attention becoming the foundation for

a new piece of work. i use a lot of similar materials to my artwork lots of multiples and i when i come somewhere 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 uncaring to wasn't ready working with found everyday objects she used a wide variety of materials including 10 but there's one that still tempts i'd actually like to work with glass so i recently did a glass course and now. i can glass blow 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

matter what material she gets her hands on and carrington turns in conspicuous junk into beautiful plants 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 well you know us and largest glaciers in fact the biggest glacier in europe is in iceland for our series europe so the next we send your america report ahead with varying to brave the cold and explore this extra ordinary place so poorly over cold coals. i slept in the winter it's a place of snow and icy extremes this is the largest glacier in europe.

but climate change is endangering of crevasses ice caves and floating ice bergs hard time coming from florida on foot. or for a rather large wheel. but neither could glacier this picture of the 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 ropes. my 1st destination is an ice skate at the glaciers edge. by 35 ventura.

the case can only be reached in a specially adapted sheet it 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 one. of the glacier these aren't we are here at one of the bottom of your coots 40 some glacier times the ice caves underneath are a popular tourist attraction. the thicker their eyes and the less oxygen it contains the more intense of the color. when you see a new broom or you see the color. it's it's mind blowing. it's

leading you. just keeps going on you be entered safety during the winter months when the ice overhead stay. after it warms up many of them disappear forever. in the summer time the temperature goes up the ice is melting and we've got water flowing and this is cutting the ice which is creating the caves but also the very 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 more probably gone it's a melted now we have to go looking for new. the next day i approached europe's largest glacier from another side. richard ellis taking me to another glacier tom. the higher we climb the ice year it gets. me.

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. is retreating. chrysler is almost at the top of that large. families power level of the price here so it's gone where. yeah i turn a half an hour into the 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 most 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 few very very small. blip was

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.

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 it. is new its 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 any position the lamp is made of mostly recycled materials and can be disassembled without the use of tools one stefan dietz 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 alumina dinner table almost 3 metres away. the floor level to manufacture a myth is based on their well known model type 113

a desk lamp design from 1923 just one of the 1st serially produced adjustable lamps worldwide. 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 that they had to be something that was kind of the antithesis of this 1920 s. mechanics which is a methodical that's once again. creating contemporary form from traditional design designed to bend toward chair in 2007 employing a process that uses steam to bend toward the peonies torn it brothers company made design. street with that coffeehouse chair inventing the technique in the middle of the 19th century. beats 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

the german manufacturer of the con 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 where the element of craft is you know for him to do before studying industrial design he completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter today and he of munich studio together with 4 product designers he develops designs that are produced by such prestigious. 15. that 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 havingness

. that has a lot to do with humor and you have to succeed in taking a playful approach. like. deets has already designed around 50 products he likes to think outside the box and meanwhile has become one of the most important designers working today his most recent project is a morgan a sofa system 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 our show but visit us online where you will find many more interesting reports as well as our viewer draw we're giving away their backpacks full off goodies join us again next week by blow.
