British singer rag and bone man is currently on tour here in europe this week he performed to some three and a half thousand fans in berlin. Sitting in the same. I want to say yes. Im happy doing this size venue but i dont think ill ever get to the stage of doing really really big ones because i thought you just lose that connection with an audience. Being so rag and bone man shot to fame in twenty sixteen with this its single human starting next week the singer will be touring britain. Now i always find it impressive when an artist can find beauty in things that are traditionally thought of as monday know even ugly ben wilson is a perfect example of that he makes art from chewing gum that is stuck to the streets his sticky sculptures are ephemeral as the local council eventually removes them along with the rest of the gum but until then they bring a smile to passers by. Ben wilson gets down on the ground for his art the london based artist pays attention to detail painting pictures of cheering gum he finds on pavement. The artist has himself become a celebrity and for thousands of spectators. Ben wilson started out painting graffiti on advertising posters but that made him unpopular with the police. And through our where im not going to be arrested. And i thought our. Space which has jurisdiction over like or National Government means that the art can happen anywhere because it comes everywhere and then im to try to pretend swarming the chewing gum thats something which is the driver his designs range from landscapes to love letters armed with blowtorch acrylic paints and lacquer hes been creating art works on londons millennium bridge for the past decade. People here are charmed by the chewing gum art and ben often gets inspiration just from talking to fans to passers by. Really. He says miniatures aim to be like the bridge they should connect to people. Thats why his latest series has given him and his spectators plenty to chew on this is a chewing gum picture which is. Lovely or is i believe in the unity. Of countries. And countries working together. I was upset by what happened to me i remembered that sooner or later most of ben wilsons work falls victim to the citys street cleaners he has painted more than ten thousand pieces of chewing gum without earning a penny. But he does take a few of his favorite works home to prove that used gum can become a thing of beauty. Great stuff well next up is a musician who is the same age as me but already has five grammy nominations to his name the twenty six year old pianist and composer tryphena of is a shooting star in the Classical Music scene and hes not resting on his laurels in october he released an album called cations and this month he has another record coming out which sees him team up with a german style violinist. This is france two bats masterpiece the trout quintet showcasing on a sophie motor and. The german star violinist first heard about the young pianist a few years ago. To me of a musical should have been one of the most significant. Achievements in Classical Music when there for. I wanted to record. Music i was. Still on. This cd features three other Young Musicians playing viola cello and double bass. Ive always enjoyed my music but i do enjoy it more and more because its much more intimate a much more spontaneous way and it isnt and when we played the child now a few times and it was always different i mean thats great fun and an orchestra its not that easy to be that fast. When its excess and this. Level of intimacy and. Transparency and so that allows for. The tonal balance between violin and piano is especially complex in this lively piece. This is where done in truth and of recorded another cd this year featuring both piano concertos by Frederic Chopin since winning two combat major. Petitions in moscow in tel aviv in twenty eleven hes been celebrated as a star of the Classical Music scene. D. W. Accompanied him as he worked with conductor Mikhail Platt now for a documentary. Here the man on the stage. You stable to meet you soon and some. People want instant. The twenty six year old is much praised by critics for his nuanced tone. I was certainly in general in such you know its its there for them to have a question and its like a. Pressure down the keys its. So hard its sort of feel of emptiness of your fingers like a fluid is. As if its there is no with us for its being filled with some kind of agenda and there are no bones that its complete in a flexible. With. Octopus. Octopus hands. Dannielle triffid of has also composed piano concertos which hes performed to a claim in new york where he now lives. He can orient himself and show complex world of sound.

And the two part documentary and new show will be available here on d w starting in january its time now for our architecture and design series your mac still looks this week we travel to sweden to visit a man who designed and built his own family home the end result is pretty impressive any actually seems quite humble about it as if everyone builds their own houses all the time lets head over to stockholm for a closer look. Welcome to. These i mean. This is the home of alan spiegel his wife and their two children in san antonio no still called. It stands on a rocky hillside shaped like the last ice age alan did not clear and flatten the sign as many do to yeah. Its more natural to adopt a house in nature than nature to a new build toes and so if we had to take everything away with it i dont want we have to refill it and then we have to try to make a new nature and first of all its expensive and its also quite ugly. Oh is a furniture designer and interiors consultant he designed the house with his architect friends its a form comprises cubes and of long stacked like shipping containers. And interesting him to try to build new things for instance in my daily work we produce furnitures and we always try to make some detail better or something thinner or stronger and if you build a normal wooden house in sweden. I can do it blind its easy for four of the four to most people if you know how to use a hammer and a saw. Will build the house with his bare hands and some help. The ground floor is open plan designed to be a welcoming spanx where family and friends can come together. Such gatherings often center on eighteen together so the long stainless Steel Kitchen counter is at the heart of it all. In sweden its cold like six months per year so the house is its a place where you meet your friends and if you compare to like spain you go out and eat dinner with your friends but you dont do that in sweden of course you go to restaurants but you dont go to restaurants three four days per week so in sweden is very. I think its very important to have a house where you can meet your invite your friends. Stands at the bedrooms and bathrooms. I would not have the sliding doors if i may make this probably one more time because you can hear lots of sounds so its too little privacy for for the children and even for us and it works when the children are small but it doesnt work when the children are growing up and getting when they are becoming adults made the promises. Beagle lost ten kilograms with the exercise he got carrying all the materials and building the house. It was a new experience not everything went quite according to plan. And color blind. I always had one guy with me we were we were always two when we were building because we always need to be two and the house have four colors i dont really know its like four brown different. Colors and we were painting. The whole day were finished with this war in the afternoon my wife came and she said its wrong color and i was angry with my friend because i said. And then he said. That clearly didnt prevent them from finishing the colorful villa. And you can find loads more delightful designs on our you tube channel d. W. Interior design. Now we bring you another installment of our quirky color in every series indulging experiments in the previous days weve shown you a restaurant in amsterdam that serves nothing but avocados and ukrainian chefs preparing sculptures out of cure what pork fat but trust me this might be the strangest idea yet at the restaurant the more bunt the food the better chefs about stem funk love serving his dishes bun to the crisp sounds strange but it has won him two michelin stars so we thought it was worth a try. Me tom toles a flame thrower hay from mt past and a hotplate heated to five hundred degree celsius its got. Some guests are really bowled over by it and they say theyll remember the dish in ten years time but others simply send a plate back on touched and say they cant eat it this kind of this. Cabbage blackened beat and samarium fish with a burnt crossed and a gravy made from good spray paint as. Oh yes and leaked you know this isnt the result of some kitchen design or f. N. C. New technique but an old southern european cooking method. Like ups theres a theres a traditional roast cream we diced celeriac and carrots cooked them really slowly for over two hours almost letting them burn all the water had boiled off and the ingredients were almost black it was something completely new it no longer tasted of character celeriac we decided we wanted to pursue this technique for the best kind of has been working in the restaurant torvalds for some seven years as the austrian born chef took over the helm in twenty fourteen the fifty six year old has been awarded to michelin found but not only with burnt offerings. In. The barbecue enables me to reduce the air supply and the temperature. Yes i can put a lid on it seal it tight and then i can cook whats on the grill for several hours in the remaining heat exposing it to smoky romas and the like it gives me a completely different result than briefly frying something in a pan. Put on it but what about a possible cost an agenda that can form during the roasting process. If i cease to be feeling kinda of a bond as my i dont know how many kilos of burned food youd have to consume for it to pose a serious danger. Going to be exact about this the same thing happens with a fried egg its protein forms harmful substances in the pan the crust is just millimeters thick and only accounts for two or three percent of the whole its mainly serves as a protective shield for the taste inside which is intensified by three hours of Cooking Skills are shown with this very slow cooking method its all about removing water reduction intensifies the taste of the vegetables or the fruit or in the case of the beets primarily the sweetness of this contrasts with and beautifully compliments the smoky flavors. But where the burnt leak is concerned its all about the way it feels in your mouth. You might have to hand some help to go for it so its really interesting to say it feels dusty might sound a bit negative but i dont mean it that way its not like biting into a slice of burnt toast at home that tastes different of course this does have that dark roast aroma but its very tasty. Its like barbecued. Chicken huge thats very well done.
