  • In this episode of Raw Craft Anthony Bourdain heads to Providence, Rhode Island to meet with luthier Rachel Rosenkrantz, to learn how she makes handcrafted custom guitars. Rachel left a successful career in product design to start her own small business making tailored string instruments for musicians from her home studio, Atelier Rosenkrantz. Rachel is introduced to Andy Rourke, bassist for English rock band, The Smiths, to create an original electro acoustic bass guitar, later used in the making of the score for Raw Craft, along with composer Timothy O’Keefe. Each instrument is thoughtfully designed and built to last a lifetime. Episode directed by filmmaker Rob Meyer. Music by Tim O'Keefe & Andy Rourke.
    The Balvenie Distillery alliance with craft is a result of the brand’s choice to embrace the old way. Balvenie is dedicated to the process of using the five rare crafts of Scotch whisky making to create The Balvenie’s distinctive taste and exceptional quality. It is the only distillery that still grows its own barley, malts in its own traditional malting floor, employs coopers to tend every cask, a coppersmith to maintain the stills and a malt master to ensure the resulting spirit is consistently excellent.

    Tony was a master storyteller. While some “personalities” diminished some people and cultures for the sake of humor, Bourdain never did. He always seemed to honor the people he was interviewing. Thank you to The Balvenie people (and AB) for this series. I love it. I’m heading out for a bottle of the Balvenie to toast you guys. Well done. RIP to Anthony. God, you’re missed.

    The best part was seeing how excited she was to watch him see the instrument for the first time. Seeing that it is easy to understand why she left the rat race to make guitars.

    I have been playing Guitar (Electric/Acoustic) for around 30years now and Every time I watch or read about any type of guitar building I get extremely inspired and excited , ive always wanted to learn how to build an Electric Guitar , its the ultimate in a personalized instrument , the player has built what he wants , to look like and sound like and feel like.

    aww Andy's reaction to the guitar was priceless! He did his best to keep buttoned up (as a proper Brit should) but you could tell he was blown away.

  • @christopherspringmann
    @christopherspringmann Před 7 lety +3

    Magnificent, creating the soul of a new guitar. I've already posted this show on Facebook, as it's one of the very best. There is something so extraordinary about the artist-to-artist relationship; thus, the compelling backstory of closing that loop, which is what Bourdain's episodes are often about. The cooking connection is unmistakeable, especially with hot metal and sparks.

    The beauty of her work so perfectly contrasts the blatant difficulty in achieving this level of craftsmanship, with such elegance to make it look effortless.

    This sort of passion and commitment blow me away; and as Bourdain would say 'the proof is in the pudding'. With this level of craftsmanship you definitely 'get out of it' what you 'put into it' and as was demonstrated in the video the difference is obvious...It's such a rare thing these days to find someone willing to dive into their passion with all their heart and soul and willing to take the risk of possible failure.... But that is where 'greatness' comes from.
