up. and thinking. it's hard for me to understand whether the way we behave with nature changed from the top in time to time but as a human race i can say that we have been we've been destroying nature. from a census of my top and it's on the news every day. so there is a venice but nobody is bringing about action. whole systems are based on always meeting. so much that we were listening was almost like they're proud or is.

this a moment we're going to be is the moment when you're done with the voices. you eat. 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 they're taught it who was inspired by nature. beethoven it's 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 he is anxious. to have the opening this gentle melody it's gorgeous melody which is just strolling in the countryside everything's fine. it's 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 didn't want it only just to be painting as he said he wanted to be feeling emotion it's not just

a replication of something that's 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. mean. we've never been in a greater position to influence the future and that can only happen if all of us do something however small or however the large that it is. but the one option we

don't have is to shut the door on to 2 to turn off the music that's not possible. i'm pretty good i'm a musician i'm in n y mentalist and for the last few years i've dedicated my life for the sole purpose of creating environmental consciousness through my music i'm very much indian and i live in india. and everyone. agrees with you that it's impossible is a composition which i absolutely admire and something that i've known for a very long time wonderful surgeon even without a wonderful recording so let's get started as a how are you someone in the back of my mind for many many years it's always been

there tried to you know make my own words you know fit i'll try to view 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 2. thank you religion. for up after the 2 of boston. was.

i am an indian i think through indian instruments i express myself through indian music so that's why when i had to express myself through beatle and spencer len mind you i do not make of abortions of songs very often in fact it's extremely there but in this case it was very very natural for me to do it 2. yes. so you're moving the old family

piano and we're just moving it from i got asked to the musical summer house we're going to be courting in tomorrow. we'll move our home. thank. you. lou. thank you both of the. little my name is betty jean and singer i was born and raised and with you. betty is actually my stage name and my real name is because i had to get down to

a bit long i know i've always wanted to be an international artist so my mother called me betty at home so i took j. from my last name in the game. i try to use music to create awareness of the nature of what's happening i use my brain whenever people see me doing something especially the youth because most of my listeners are they knew they would like to imitate what i do so i try to be on board model very. good this is not good. not to be good this is. not. because.

when all those of us authors will find out when we can go on that although we are not good in a lot of that and there. was substance consciousness but i have been soft. and in fact i'm going far as you know i'm going for tongue i think they may be and if anyone is the front of his car to get on a cookery you learn your nose and to go into the. most impressive no surprise c'mon those musicals just aren't comparable us going to them during the week on the level . voters are concerned at. their own so i look to stop us on the commercial sound. you know because there are you know i mean very few response in person. to. come oh. yes it was.

just our. best don't you. just. read but. i get. so sad. when. the news of the. night trick has always provided a cue throughout musical history with taken

a lead from the world around us. my name spread thin i'm a stranger and i'm a composer of the old a play a conductor yeah musician. as a composer i do feel strongly linked to composers of the past. i'm incredibly inspired by what someone like beethoven achieved sort of drives me for sure and beethoven possibly more than to spend any other composer of the past because his pieces have been models for me in more direct ways than many. straight open is never just what you see and what you hear there's so much more behind him and i think the pastoral symphony in caps relates or for beethoven it.

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 maastricht of beethoven how he's 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 it's 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. passed for some from his maybe 20 years old i remember pretty early on i couldn't resist the kind of irony of the title but it's a title that then i have to say captures the imagination because of its beethoven link i'm sure and you know it's it's been programmed together with beethoven's

pastoral on more than one occasion. which is you know wonderful i like sharing the program with beethoven you know he's good. thank. you. composers feature birds and birdsong because it's this unbelievable world of invention beethoven's cuckoos in the slow movement of the pastoral symphony and not the newest of innovations at the time but obviously also. very telling you know it's also the placement way that you put

a boat cold so that it has maximum effect and you know if you're sleeping in that one. 7 and the other birds are on spring from home. fome fome this is a direct. direct feeling. all we can hear outside birds singing and happiness that's honestly installment into him. so we have he had the 3rd movement where. we really get a insight into beethoven's humor he did a case of the jovial and fun people in the countryside it's.

something i feel to be an area really. i don't feel. sort of. a low we are at a clip in iceland my name it's all one of mine i'm small most of the lesson my name is thomas i was on my name is oscar and we $88.00.

many people we play for have been here already and they have spears this environment we have here that's beautiful to hear if somebody hears. something related to all or. in all of your city. already the rocks of the month there's the lakes and the diverse insults of the people and i suppose that there's a kind of a feeling here but it's a kind of a big family but everybody helps each other and the 1st question is never how it is it financially to wash the 1st question issue or spit it burning for

doing this with. the yard. and we tried to be extremely democratic on the spend everybody can stuff any song i think any time and play however they want to play and the wave feeling that you have for individuals or all can shape will be do the same amount of effort.

to. to. change food. to mean. anything to. go in to see the not that alyssa the new memoir her the most of those and the best or really almost anything better look bad or good role models for north then this are going to. wear and then there is another lesser bird woman across or going.

to the inn. they took a stroll through the most yes the most hated being alice on him. i think you know you have more so and was you know i look at this minute because it was almost only endorsed by that day they i'm already their fans us and i don't run a sub. folder .

when i started off as a musician many years ago in 1909 when i was 19 years old i started of doing commercials for television and radio for various brands all over the world i was doing music for every brand and the computer so then i had a huge gap year 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 war 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 n y meant starting with air pollution mitigating the effects of climate change we've got deforestation we've got species extinction we've got the plastics problem so we've 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 word basically.

everything he spent the 1st 3 movements building up this beauty this idea of nature of here we are suddenly broken and it's broken in such dramatic way that it brings us away from the painting somehow beethoven puts in a time out it's not just beauty it's reality and the reality of danger and this interval that he writes in the 1st violins this this chief g. flat. shows something's not quite right something's happening something brooding.

and it. was. and i think. i can sense the climate change since my childhood the changes. is here. the countryside is affected with the fewer and fewer rainy season we have so there's drought and it's not just drought sometimes it's a flooding. it's scary really scary. it affects our daily lives if we put on the table that affects the air we breathe

and affects the children that are going to be born. most of a new generation have breathing allergies. life is really tough life is very expensive people have to focus on earning their life. but we have to create awareness of the nature of what's happening. because right now we're heading towards the wrong direction if we don't change. planes. league. players. and the population is growing of course people need to stay a shelter but then we shouldn't forget that nature is part of our shelters.

i was. in the time that we lived here we saw quite a lot of change i mean a lot of places where we 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. you. know so that point something quite fundamental in the piece happens another for the 1st time we hear the sound of a tree being chopped down. to atlanta. 2

at the same time it was important for me city dweller that i have always being. to recognize there's no point also in sighing that everything that man creates is. 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.

poisonous to play a song plays more yet more so. less but it's one of the stunts in the can simplify this route that he thought your delivery was not good i lived in a beauty would see that getting a call on via the north pier and. explored the month. of north little something was on yours nor is it cyclone more than think. then also we had no live that i mean made us live that one of those no that is my

sink or a lift back i mean i think there's a. better guy you're probably my school more as they now knew it and he's more you know you're ok then they had all glow in them. as are into the entire news low somebody until he's desperate focus see how you know. you're going to put us on us the whole we're not mature hornets but the musket in korea is going to be and they're going my friends and understand. yeah. if it was a problem or get our own losses in a different sort of them a young b. and some which assigns. some i must as an upper limit the gum going on there in

that you know made it so. if in the us is that we don't use. the word. length. it's so terrifying 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 it's like one is hoping the whole time will we survive but we get over the story.

of the prison 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 we have to purify our stuff clean our hearts 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 we're doing to the to the planet. because what we're doing to ourselves really. you months ago we had this tree planting movement i was part of it because i miss the green area i miss green in my life and i wanted to create awareness i could. leave. 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. it's all new for us but i mean this is something we have to do it through like i said. the climate changes we affect things directly so it's a must be done. to . lose even. i believe that music can be the catalyst to move people in an emotional be from

a red mist to action. i perform to large numbers of ordinances like 20000 people 40000 people 800000 people. luke. 6 is going to the living longer the more the enlightenment is going to look at the forms that about mean children. to the to the to longer journey of being humans beautiful garden. that be the only theses on this planet. is not put up at the corner all the stuff you want to. i 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 own songs of songs for children because i believe that the songs that we learned during my childhood

a song that we remember forever. and i believe that the education system is absolutely failing 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 you're teaching them. to be more capitalist with teaching them to be more materialistic we're getting them to be more consumerist so let's introduce

ourselves i'm riki and you can tell me what your name is let's go from here to the money 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 ford of my generation but the problem is that you people are going to be suffering that the are trying to do our best to. change everything we have 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. wasteful living and always do better. and it's great to see i mean old old kids growing up in this environment where they have to talk about how we need to water it takes to make one teacher which you buy and then you maybe read it for a half to get and then you throw the with. the trend of the west and you know. try to make them count.

whether music can have a larger influence and create some kind of shift i don't know. but it is interesting how it can start conversations and i think that's where the arts can ply a significant role because it's kind of once removed from the toxic world of politics. that was you got to know that i'm playing a game it would be good to see in the sound i think it was because animals were not just ones i knew that they had a look at and was good to see and pass. down on the. sheep will. actually. just keep you

posted. as if you can see i think the i meant they must be we'll i can just press on this 2nd mate think one if that's their own as i can just press on the school k. then in bold new class ends at the. post or c. to proceed. you. should go see the style is mine this is only. the length it is and then on the n.t. last a minute that goes in the himalayas you know that and so it is that it has a minus. because you know. the good. news. for the last dance is you in this case in this is eat them just so impulse to list.

all you have to do is just make it your lifestyle and then do new things every day and create awareness all the time say something if someone is planting a tree been a part of it if there's anywhere any interview mention it so people can just hear it and from that they can start questioning because i'd say we need to work on this we need to focus on this why should we do what can we go. the as. i've seen our music can. change people can incite dialogue and i think dialogue is our only hope really for the future. there's something about the

pastoral i think when at the end of last movement the storm clouds have disappeared and this beautiful melody comes and it's a feeling everything's ok everything's 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 lot. a lot. i don't think it helps to just say we are bad. yeah sure we cause problems let's 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 it's going to be yes that's it there's no coming back.

in one moment though i keep inside when all of these were in. southeast through the sales you know a need for thought o. e n. thought and then you can promise as. we're all in this together and because we're together we can survive. it's a moment. it's a moment from the learn how to listen to a friend of mr goodrich.

and then you know everything's going to be fine and yet it's not enough for beethoven because he could have just left but no he has to go through cycles yes to show us everything again microcosmos and just when you think. i've understood it he finishes the piece. to the conflict. even before the corona virus pandemic lebanon's economy was plummeting through the floor joining me from beirut this week is the country's foreign minister not see 50. years ago shades of gray for systems what guarantees believe that his government is any better than the previous words close to. 30 minutes double.
