Up. In. Egypt. Its hard for me to understand whether the way we behave with nature changed from a tovan time to our time but as a human race i can say that weve been weve been destroying nature. From a census of my top and its on the news every day. So there is a venomous but nobody is bringing about action. And whole systems are based on always meeting. So most of the lists gnaws almost they put out or is. This a moment is the moment when youre done with the voices. If you. Believe. I am convinced that musicians can have a very important impact on people they can influence people actually music inspires people in so many ways and musicians have been inspired by nature like beethoven who was inspired by nature. Beethoven its one of the great giants of Music History in every sense. We know that the walks that he went on for hours and hours were the moments where he condensed his thoughts and his emotions. The Pastoral Symphony i think reflects his greatest love which is nature. In a way i. Have the opening this gentleman it is gorgeous melody which is just strolling in the countryside everythings fine. I am. I am. Its very interesting the beethoven in the Pastoral Symphony he wrote quite a lot of text describing the scenes the scene at the stream the storm the birds all and yet at the same time he didnt want it only just to be painting as he said he wanted to be feeling emotion its not just a replay cation of something thats beautiful it goes inside his own soul. I do believe music has an enormous power and i think nature has an even greater Power Projects that bring those 2 together are a great great opportunity for mankind to rethink where we are we are. A i. Am. Weve never been in a greater position to influence the future and that can only happen if all of us do something however small our large that is. But the one option we dont have is to shut the door on to 2 to turn off the music thats not possible. Im pretty good im a musician and an environmentalist and for the last few years ive dedicated my life for the sole purpose of creating environmental consciousness through my music im very much indian and i live in india. And everyone. There to feel that is so possible is the composition which i absolutely had my own and something that ive known for a very long time wonderful surgeon david banana wonderful recording so lets get started as a how are you someone in the back of my mind for many many years its always been there tried to you know make my own words you know fit ill try to reveal it in my own we. Simply because this would be like pretty much the mother of all of you know compositions when it comes to nature. As they do. You know 2. Thank you we didnt. Put up our so you thought possible. Was. Im an indian i think through indian instruments i express myself through indian music so thats why i had to express myself through the dylans pastoral and my new i do not make of abortions of songs very often in fact its extremely there but in this case it was very very natural for me to do it. 2 yes. So were moving the old family piano and were just moving it from i got asked to the musical summer house were going to be a corking into one of. Your home. Thank. You. All of the. Little my name is betty g. You can sing or i was born and raised here via bettys actually my stage name and my real name is bill so its good to hold a bit long i know ive always wanted to be an International Artist so my mother called me betty at home so i took from my last name the baby she gave me. I try to use music to create awareness of the nature of whats happening i use my brain whenever people see me doing something especially the youth because most of my listeners are they who think they would like to imitate what i do so i try to be controlled model. To my kids this is not good. Not to be good not just. Here. When all those of us out of school play loud when we know on the phone we are not good kid you know a lot of that and there. Was such a stance in this part out in soccer. And in fact im going far as you know moving forth on thing i think they are because im damned if they miss the fun of this could go to your comical carry you along the windows of the phone to conduct most impresario surprise camillos most Yukos Christiane complement us going and im going to become a lover. Because of concern and. Good looking stop us on the promise of sound. You look as though you know i mean very few risk missing person. Close. Ones get this. Job. Done you good are just settling down. Yet bed hand. Turns out. To be. The guy. Niter has always provided a cue throughout musical history with lead from the world around us. My names bret 3 im a stranger and im a composer of the older player conductor yeah musician. As a composer i do feel strongly linked to composers of the past. Im incredibly inspired by walked Something Like beethoven achieved it sort of drives me for sure and beethoven possibly more than to spout any other composer of the past because his pieces have been models for me in more direct why so many. Straight tone is never just what you see and what you hear theres so much more behind him and i think the Pastoral Symphony in caps relates or for beethoven its. We have this 2nd movement here again very very gentle and here you have the scene by the stream by the river and there you see the master of beethoven how hes able to convey water the flows this feeling of to and fro that you have in the piece. I lived here in this area in the Sunshine Coast in noosa between 22004. 00 its just a very very special part of the world. In that atmosphere i did respond by writing music in particular piece for possible since nick. Pastoral symphony is nearly 20 years old i remember pretty early on i couldnt resist the kind of irony of the title but its a title that then i have to say captures the imagination because of its beethoven link cumshaw and you know its its been programmed together with beethovens pastoral on more than one occasion. Which is you know wonderful i like sharing a program with beethoven you know hes good. Thank. You. Composers feature birds and bird song because its this unbelievable world of invention they home from school coups in the slow moment of the Pastoral Symphony and not the newest of innovations at the time but obviously also. Very telling you know its also the placement way that you put a cold so that it has maximum the face and you know fiercely and that 1 7. And the other birds are on string from home. Fome fome this is a direct. Direct feeling old. All we can hear outside birds singing and happiness thats honestly installment in terms. So we have here the 3rd movement where we really get a an insight into beethovens humor he did a case to the jovial and fun people in the countryside and. This is something i feel to be an area really important. And its the sort of. Hello we are at a clip of what. My name is almost will sound my name smuggest over the last one my name is thomas on my name is oscar and we 88. Many people we play for have been here already and theyve speirs this environment we have here thats beautiful to hear if somebody hears. Something related to our country in our. Nature is it already the rocks of the month as the lakes and the ever so its also the people and i say that theres a kind of a feeling here right its a kind of a big family but everybody helps each other and the 1st question is never how it is it financially going to work the 1st question issuer spit it burning for doing this with. The yard. And we tried to be extremely democratic and spend everybody can stuff any song at any time and play however they want to play and the wave feeling that you have for individuals or all can shape will be through the same amount of effort. Cant. Claim to. Be nothing. Less to see then up to the lizza the new memoir had the most of the best or really almost anything better look better or good role models for north. Were and then there is another lesser purple many girls are going to. Keep the i. Mean they took. The most yes. I know you have a morsel and was you know i look at this minute because it was almost only endorsed by that day they are more to their fans thats an honor to run its up. The road. To a bad. Cut. Cut. Cut. When i started off as a musician many years ago in 1909 when i was 19 years old i started off doing commercials for television and radio for various brands all over the world i was doing music for every brand and the competition so then i had a huge get a your shift in around 2013 where i started realizing that these big brands have understood the power of music that music is such a powerful language not just for communicating a message but for retaining that message deep into the consciousness of the listener it was just a realisation that you know that what am i doing with music why am i constantly selling products with music and there are things that i feel really strongly about in this ward and i need to write music about this. India is obviously a very complicated country we have a Huge Population and we have a huge number of problems when it comes to the and why meant starting with apple you shin mitigating the effects of Climate Change weve got deforestation weve got species extinction weve got the plastics problem so weve got a lot of problems in india. But i would say that the Biggest Issue in india is the part that everybody has that somebody else will make a difference. So and that is a huge problem that we need to address. I would consider myself to be just a musician who is trying to make everyone fall in love with the world basically. Everything hes spent the 1st 3 movements building up this beauty this idea of nature of here we are is suddenly broken and its broken in such dramatic way that it brings us away from the painting somehow beethoven puts you know a time out its not just beauty its reality and the reality of danger and this interval that he writes here in the 1st violins this. Is chief g. Flat it shows somethings not quite right somethings happening something brooding. Was. Playing. I can sense the Climate Change since my childhood that change just. As you. Play. The concert that is affected with the fewer and fewer rainy season we have so theres drought and its not just drought sometimes its flooding. Its scary scary. It affects our d. D. Nice effects to be put on the table it affects the air we breathe. And affects the children that are going to be born. Most of the new generation have breathing allergies. Life is really tough life is very expensive people have to focus on learning their life. But we have to create awareness of the nature of whats happening. Because right now were heading towards the wrong direction if we dont change. Planes. League. Players. And the population is growing of course people need places to stay and shelter but then we shouldnt forget that nature is part of our shelter. I. I. I. In the time that we lived here we saw quite a lot of change i mean a lot of places where wed go walking one week and it was being cleared the next and in the early 2006 had a severe right of land clearance and it was sort of up there with the amazon as far as you know land clearance rights internationally were concerned. Was. You. So that point something quite fundamental in the piece happens and i think for the 1st time we hear the sound of a tree being chopped down. Leaf you. At the same time it was important for me city dweller that i have always being. To recognize theres no point also in sighing that everything that man creates feeds you. By definition bad and only a Natural World is good. I certainly think that music and the arts also more generally can. Actually build a bridge between humankind and the Natural World. Pleasant as taught by a song plays more and more so. Lets pursue an assistance in the can see in this this would that he thought d the ordinary course would not put our lives in our bureau he would see that getting a call on via you know clear and. Exploit the months. North little sold the most on yours nor is it secular more then think. Then also we have no. I mean made us believe that one of those will that is missing can you list back i mean us if theres a song that on a limb. By your problem i score more as they nail you at least you know youre ok then they dont blow in them. Also into their entire lives lost somebody and please this was. Our c. I. You know. That im going to put us on as a whole when its mature hornets but for the muscatine and crew going to miami and theyre going to have insolence or strife. Thing yeah. Its an amazing bloomer. Losses in a different sort of than the some which are signs. As an upper limit the gum moved around there in that you know made it so little. Different uses that it thought it was. Feeling. The air. A little. Bit so terrified that it is like a horror movie it really is a musical offering a counterpoint to what we feel when we experience a storm and we all know what its like one is hoping the whole time will we survive but we get over the storm. Yes. But the reason that i have left the future is pretty dark unless we do something about it i really think what we did to the earth is what we really have in our heart so have to purify our stuff clean our heart and then we start cleaning and then we we get to see what we have done because i feel like nature is a reflection of ourselves what were doing to the to the planet. Because what were doing to ourselves we. Few months ago we had this Tree Planting movement i was part of it because i missed the green area i missed green in my life and i wanted to create awareness i could. Do it it was one full day that was dedicated it was a working day was a monday and nobody was working and. Everybody was planting trees everywhere and i was. Really happy to be part of it and all part of Something Green for a change. But. Its all new for us but i mean this is something we have to get through like i said. The Climate Changes we affect things directly so its a must be done. To lose. The loony belief. And. I believe that music can be the catalyst to move people in an emotional week from a red mist to action. I perform to large numbers of audiences like 20000 people 40000 people 100000 people. Looting. 6 has gone up in the book the enlightenment this long look at the poems that about me and show. You to cut along the journey of being humans we have forgotten. That be odd not only be shes on the stand it. Is a little back up to the all the stuff you want to. Try and empower each and every audience member to showcase to them that they themselves can make a huge difference within their own lives so that is what i do through music and then the 2nd thing that i do is through education of children. I created a project called my own songs know my old songs of songs for children because i believe that the songs that we learn during our childhood a song that we remember forever. I believe that the Education System is absolutely feeling us right now because from the soul a absolutely believe that children are born with empathy children are born with kindness children are born with n. Y. Mental consciousness with what we teach children is basically easing that out of them and youre teaching them. To be more capitalist repeating them to be more materialistic were dealing them to be more consumerist so lets introduce ourselves im ricky and you can tell me what your name is lets go from here to there i mean is that. I believe that the Education System needs to change we need to create a new generation of children new generation of humans and other well more impact the kind of Climate Change the problem that is affecting all of us ok now the thing is that what you have to understand is that Climate Change is the fault of my generation but the problem is that you people are going to be suffering that we are trying to do our best to. Change everything we are trying to do our best to make things better. For you and for your future generations but you have to understand what Climate Change is i how it came about and more importantly children who believe that money is not the end all you know money is not the deciding factor as to how much you can consume and how much you can waste but it is actually how much the planet can afford. We can always do better with waste and. Living there always do better. And its great to see i mean old old kids growing up in this environment where they have to talk about how we need this water it takes to make one teacher which you buy and then you maybe read it for a half a year and then you throw the when. Youre trying not to waste and you know. Try to make them count. Whether music can have a larger influence and create some kind of shift i dont know. But it is interesting how it can start conversations and i think thats where the arts can ply a significant role because its kind of once removed from the toxic world of politics. Long as you got to know that im playing a game it would be good to see in the sun i think it was because i was not just ones have you that they had games look at it was good to see and pass. Down. Actually. Just. Posted. As it did you can see if you knew the i meant they must be well i can just press on us so cornet think one of us you dont as i can just press on thats cool k. And in both ends of the. Post proceed. To keep. Posting style is muslim and this is only protest. Because in the on the n. T. Last amy nice that those in the hen us will defend sort of that it was a minus. The cows know better than their misery and the good. News. For the last time since you and this is in this is eat them just one post to list. All you have to discuss make it your lifestyle and do new things every day and create awareness all the time Say Something if someone is planting a tree but be part of it if theres anywhere any interview mention it so people can just hear it and from that they can start questioning because start saying we need to work on this we need to focus on this why should we do what can we do. It oh. Ive seen our music can. Change people can incite dialogue i think dialogue is our only hope really for the future. Theres something about the pastoral i think when at the end of last movement the storm clouds have disappeared and this beautiful melody comes and its a feeling everythings ok everythings going to be ok and i think we all. Hope for things to be ok and so i think that also relates to us today. A layer. Of i dont think it helps to just say we are bad. Yeah sure we cause problems lets sort them out. We need to empower every Single Person like Mahatma Gandhi he had the famous saying that you know be the change you want to see. If we keep on living life the way we are living its going to be the end thats it theres no coming back. In one moment oh i k i keep inside you know so when reasonably in. Southeast theres the sales you know. In poland the new customers as. Were all in this together and because were together we can survive. Its a moment. Its a moment from the learn how to listen to from the midst of the rich. And then you know everythings going to be fine and yet its not enough a bit of because you could have just left but no he has to go through cycles yes to show us everything again microcosmos and just when you think ive understood it he finishes the piece.
