Poetry music

The German actress Julia Engelmann is familiar with the stage: With experience in theatre performances and a TV soap she became famous with poetry slam.
She took a line of the Reckoning Song “One day Baybe, we’ll be old…” by Asif Avidan,…

…which is even more popular in the Wankelmut Remix,…

… and created her own poem around these lines. The recording of her performance at a university campus made her famous on Youtube with more than 10 million views.

Another poem of her is “Grüner wird’s nicht”,…

…which she now turned into a song with a beautiful meaning. A very cool combination of poetry and music.

Redefinition

After his serious accident in 2016, Paul Van Dyk is now back. In a cooperation he has created a stunning piano atmosphere in his latest song “While you were gone”. The first minute of this song is awesome with the sustained piano improvisation and the soft bass arpeggiator rumbling in the background!

The man at the piano is actually Vincent Corver, a concert pianist from The Hague, Holland. From this classical piano concert it’s not obvious that he will appear in trance music as well.


But bringing both of these completely different worlds together, a new kind of art is created. Vincent describes that his art is about “Redefining Piano Music” – and indeed it is! Check out the original Spotify version because it keeps up the piano magic much longer, for almost 3 minutes.

Mad club

A fascinating home studio production comes from Daniel Brunner alias “The.madpix.project”. I could listen to the instrumental version of his club sound track “When the sun goes down” in an endless loop. Excellent work!

Chartleader

Felix Jaehn is a phenomenon: With his age of 23 he has written several world hits in the meantime. Looking back at his career, the “Cheerleader” remix was his breakthrough. He took the original reggae song of Omar Samuel Pasley (OMI),…

… added a trumpet and transformed it into a nice deep house song which made it a #1 hit worldwide in 27 different charts. His remix is simple and the trumpet is a great enhancement of the song. Fantastic job!

Glowing

Not only the ice perfomance of the Coldplay song “Everglow” is amazing. The song is so melodic, it sounds beautiful in a small room with a piano…

… and in a big stadium like in Munich, where the piano part is actually played by the Coldplay fan Ferdinand Schwartz, who was picked out of the audience (amazing job by Ferdinand!)…

… and it sounds beautiful with a guitar as well, played by James Bartholomew.

Rocket science

Elon Musk has revolutionized mobility on the street. Nobody is questioning anymore that electric cars are the future on the roads. He will also revolutionize the long distance travel: As a residue of his SpaceX program, he is planning to replace commercial long distance aircraft flights with rocket flights.

It is impressive to see how precise his rocket prototypes are performing a propulsive landing.

Magic sea

On Instagram someone made a video with a magic background music, which caught my attention. Never heard of Porter Robinson before but his song “Sea of Voices” creates a beautiful musical atmosphere. Enjoy!

42 x 100

According to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the number 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything. Bugatti qualifies for this number in several aspects: After 10 years of development, their latest supercar for series production “Chiron” multiplies this number 100 times: It reaches a top speed of 420 km/h on the road, frightening reality! The good part is that only 500 pieces of this car will be produced at the price of 2.4 million Euros each, so it is unlikely to be surprised by such a car on the highway. In a Bugatti advertisement video, including some drone shots, it was accelerated to 400 km/h and the decelerated to zero within 42 seconds.

To slow down the 1.500 horsepower engine from this insane speed, 420 mm carbon ceramic brake disks and a rear air brake spoiler are used. Much more than these insane specs, it’s so impressive to see that it was possible to combine all disciplines of knowledge to create such a masterpiece of engineering. Now that the era of electric cars has begun, it will probably be the last of its kind with a combustion engine.

Filming this car at top speed is difficult because no drone or other car can catch up with its speed but nevertheless already the shots from a fixed location are impressive, like this one filmed in Dubai with great close-up and sunset shots.
