Who tried to bring heaven down to a late abstract artist also pino. But joining me straight away is John Anderson the boss of all drug addict records this is a classical Record Company which is a bit special because its a nonprofit making cooperative which puts the artists in charge it sounds wonderful joel. But how does it work because you have to make some money to pay people who who work for you of course we have a team of fifteen effect that we have to pay and that is a talent obviously but the goal with with all to take was to find a way of making. Something in the world something which is not really of the world soul music which is priceless which is not transactional which is as a value completely different from commercial value. But in some way finding a way to come out a size and to put it in a marketplace and to do
a service to the artists who are collaborating with us ok now and i like the way you choose who you will record its a bit like one of those things on the something called the voice on the television whether you know its kind of behind oldish and as you say you exactly this. Is the scientific Peer Review Process that weve coopted for for arts. Again the idea here is that were trying to find a way to. Choose our artist choose a repertoire in a way which is not motivated by a Profit Motive by Marketing Decisions and and things like this and so what we have what we built was a Online Platform to which people can apply in a demo but that is evaluated by the actual Rostrum Members themselves of the label and they receive a link with just the music so we dont know who they are where theyre from and a woman. If there are all the young famous knots we evaluate on the bases the music
itself and the interest of the program a list lets hear someone who who got through those were additional process this is the italian Finnish Victorio forte playing a piece. I should just mention that its rachmaninoff but its an especial arrangement is that yes ok now the record strong of the label just seems to be mostly contemporary i mean the very first thing you brought time was bugs piano music or first of yes you
know i mean thats quite a nice market well the interesting thing about this is that is not a decision of myself or any explicit policy of the label but the music which does tend to make it through this filter which we have by the pure of you filter is the more innovative Programming Stuff which is less represented the stuff which we have already heard thousands of times just as a natural result of our Selection Process i think we are in the doing all. Now you said in an interview although we just dont quite buy the c. D. s decades its all going to go wild laws so how are you going to make money or should i say make enough to keep going so its certainly true that cd players are being built on the cars and the computers is going to go the way of vinyl at some point there are always the collections and there always be artists who need to to make see these also because it is a Good Business card having
a tangible product thats very good but but yes theres no doubts that the market is moving towards digital and were moving in that same direction or developing various Online Platforms which we hope will position isnt a good place to be. The interface between musicians the Music Industry and the public and youve got a jazz label again lets hit some music this is again an italian artist a Massive Media know. Hopefully are pronouncing and his bad lets have a quick listen. Please a rainy day on your jazz mabel just briefly what are you doing here in germany the
home of the mighty dortch a gramophone and youre hoping to sort of put them out of business all in all theres no not even any intention of competition in the sense what were trying to propose is an alternative to that. So the major labels they control more or less eighty percent of the market but its a dime market its also also theyre struggling and in my opinion. The fact that the digital revolution thats part of it of course but it but its actually a symptom of i think taking music in the wrong way and so were trying to present it in a different way which we think is actually a positive way for the way that will get us out and of course the digital revolution for us is a good thing he told sound its really fascinating we need more enterprising on for prose. In the business especially in the music Business Ventures of course changing good luck with this Film Anderson thank you from. Thank you very much for joining
us you might be interested in this next piece if you want to place in london a Little Office in london. The olympic park in london encompassed Five Hundred Sixty acres of east london but after the olympics finished in twenty twelve what became of this vast sites well most of the buildings have been put to good use including what used to be the press center an enterprising group of architects have now turned it into a Technology Park for startups. In east london compact and colorful studios have been built in the space that served as the International Broadcast center during the twenty twelve olympics. Making gascon splitsville for conspiring architects he and his colleagues designed began training. Hugely positive for london i think for local area but because of the level of
development it happened. Its swept away a lot of the sort of local history and so we want to do this project as a way of reminding people about parts of the local history that they could be proud of. The bright colors used to the studios facade for example echoed the rappers of suites that used to be manufactured close by. The Architects Didnt Draw Inspiration only from local businesses one studio facade commemorates an unusual landmark that used to be in the area. Before the olympic. Theres a Very Frank Famous Local Landmark on the canal which was nicknamed fridge mountain. Just a few years it was europes largest white goods dumping ground. The tenants of the twenty one works spaces are as varied as the Studios Facades The Mix includes a record label to Music StudiosArchitects Engineers and designers. Is House Manager his employer the transfer he was hired by the Technology Park to look after the studios and its tenants. He explains what really sets the gantry a past. We can make beautiful spaces you can design Amazing Spaces you can have great views but ultimately the thing that makes this place tick make it last beyond me to the tramp or even as a company will be the stories and the cooperation and the network that happens for people interrupting day to day covering their business to go. There sure to be a lot more fun in these colorful studios.

So what did pina have to say about that in twenty thirteen he visited an exhibition of his work in cars with. His instinct and. There was a need to see something in the light instead of in the dark there and shot him in
