Cheese is a Hip-Hop better

All you came for the cheese. ARD, Reuters, AFP, but also the "animal world" and the "Swiss farmer". The report foxes of Prosieben are not increased on the previous day in the cheese cellar in Burgdorf. The BBC was weeks ago, al-Jazeera reported. They all wanted to see the cheese of the Beat Wampfler. A special cheese, whose smell increases not sneaky in the nose, big questions: Are cheese receptive to music? Makes Hip-Hop cheese better?

Beat Wampfler has filled with the Bern University of the arts eight identical cheese about six months long with music. A cheese was allowed to be heard in his specially made wooden box, the "magic flute" by Mozart, another "Stairway to Heaven" – Wampfler is a Fan of Led Zeppelin, there were the techno cheese, the ambient music, cheese and the Hip-Hop-and-cheese. This heard "Jazz (We've Got)" by A Tribe Called Quest. In the endless loop.

Now he is come, the day of the unveiling. Wampfler is nervous, he had a premonition, but a lot more he did not know. Wampfler has risen, with five Assisting on a stage to answer questions. Beside him, the man speaks of the University and told of how this project's concern for the transfer of knowledge in the non-artistic world. Wampfler takes notes with a ballpoint pen. His strong arms lifted in his life, some Heavier than a ballpoint pen. Cheeses, for example. Dozens of kilograms.

Spinner!, did you tell him

Then he takes the word, strong voice, writing: "It is my first press conference. I don't know how it comes out." Similarly, it was last July, when he started the Experiment. Spinner!, have you told him. Wampfler told of the uncertainty and the Conviction that something had to happen. If you listen to him, he talks about cheese, as he would know the lactic acid bacteria Leuconostoc and Lactococcus personally. In this case, the cheeses is a Hobby, he cultivates in the evenings and on weekends. Usually Wampfler horse colic treated. He is a veterinarian.

A sensory consensus analysis results delivered to the Experiment. Four trained testers, of the University of Wädenswil, Switzerland, have evaluated cost of the cheese, highly standardized according to the DIN standard, on the basis of 30 parameters. Taste, odor, or consistency. In Parallel, a 7-member Jury from the cheese ACE. "The Interesting thing is that both groups came to the same conclusion," says Peter Kraut, head of the Jury. The verdict: The Hip-Hop-cheese-stands out from the others. He is in the smell and taste particularly fruity. And: He has striking large holes.

music is powerful, you know, you can make fists bouquets of flowers. There are studies that suggest that cows give more milk when they hear in the milking parlour Beethoven to calm down. A winemaker in the German Palatinate swears by Brahms and Bizet, the music would make the wine creamy. And so, larger holes in the cheese.

Recently, a cheese merchant called from Brooklyn and Wampfler asked if he could buy the Mozart of cheeses.

But why, of all places, the Hip-Hop-and-cheese? Wampfler speaks of a large energy transfer. He had felt that himself, and when Working automatically to Hip-Hop to rockers started: "It's a full-blown delivery, the cheese was not able to recover as with the other styles of music." Sounds like bad cheese torture, in Guantanamo, they held prisoners with Metallica's "Enter Sandman". With so much cheese jumbled thoughts to grow.

in fact, it is probably less on the music genre, but rather to the sound quality. The Hip-Hop Song is driven by a deep Bass and lots of percussion – that must have moved the cheese in the ripening process. This is confirmed by the cheese, has faced months of the sine vibration from 25 Hertz, a deep, sustained tone. He also has a fruity and sweet taste. To make the matter academic, you want to repeat the experiment.

Wampfler is pulled in the cheese cellar from camera to camera. The rush is amazing. The organizers surmise that the interest in the topics of culinary and cultural relationships, which would move many people. Well, maybe it's just the combination of Switzerland and cheese. The cliché that works for over a hundred years. Refreshed with a couple of bars of music.

The cheese as an integration aid

The many requests from Wampfler a media-hardened people, he knows an answer to each question. Yes, it was a try. No, it is not a slapstick. Yes, he had hoped that the bacteria begin to dance. No, commercialization is not in the foreground. But it will be worth it for Wampfler at some point. Recently, a cheese dealer from Brooklyn called him and asked him if he could buy the Mozart of cheeses. The man from New York is to be said that the Mozart of cheese is a non-starter of a Klangkäses. By the way, like all the other music sonicated specimens. Good in taste, but hardly to distinguish from the reference cheese, enjoyed the sound therapy.

Would have been sonicated Wampfler his cheese 20 years ago, Hip-Hop, he would Bang been severely punished. With a juicy, buses and industry-wide contempt. It was a time when the cheese Union, and woke up on the Swiss cheese. Innovation was forbidden, the cheesemakers were practically the only hard cheese, because this was no longer tenable. No wonder that at that time Swiss cheese suffered from racks of sameness. In 1999, the Union disappeared, since then, more than 1000 new varieties of cheese.

The Hip-Hop-and-cheese might complement it well. Wampfler has on him, the music he knew, although only fleeting, but the successful trial could help to lead the young to the cheese. The cheese as an integration aid. Or as he says: "cheese and music bring people together."
