Indian video producer Srinivas Bhatt
(YouTube: CrestVideos) has released his latest visual triumph,
"Tribute by Nature," featuring music by the great
Hariprasad Chaurasia. Bhatt's video, which features beautiful
imagery from the heartlands of India, has gone viral on YouYube
drawing attention from many nations of the world, and especially in
the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Russia,
Australia, East Africa, Bangladesh, and India herself. This is only
the newest in a long line of videos directed, produced, and otherwise
entirely executed solely by Bhatt.
Bhatt's music video, “Tribute by
Nature” visually describes a famous 1993 song called "Water
Poems" by the greatest Indian flutist, guru Hariprasad
Chaurasia, on an album called "The Music of the Rivers."
Bhatt composed the video using the most splendid scenes he could find
of the Himalayas, rain forests, the Ganges river (Ganga Ma),
waterfalls, as well as various other Indian flora and fauna. Of the
content of Indian classical music, Srinivas Bhatt says, “Indian
classical music basically depicts the devotional songs written by
great Indian sages and seers on Hindu gods like Rama, Krishna, Shiv,
etc.”
If the precision of Bhatt's imagery
seems surprisingly adroit, it may be because Bhatt, himself, is a
musician. Srinivas Bhatt holds a university diploma in the mridang,
which he describes as, “a classical Indian percussion instrument
equivalent of Tabla.” In fact, Bhatt has been playing classical
Indian music since the age of ten. He also received the Andhra
Pradesh Music Academy merit scholarship for his acuity. He has given
over five-hundred live performances in concert as accompaniment for
Indian vocalists, as well as for instrumentals such as veena, the
Indian form of violin, and the flute.
“Countless forms of Indian classical
music fascinate me,” says Bhatt. “Hindustani music has a slow
expression of words but rather melodious disposition of countless
ragas, but I'm also fascinated by the speedy Carnatic music with its
emphasis on devotional Kirtans.” Bhatt prefers to understand
lyrics fully in order to get a true feeling of the composer.
Says Bhatt, “My effort is to ensure
that the common, stressed-out dude on the move can chill out by
viewing this music video. I look forward to bringing out more music
videos with a popular combination of heavenly music tracks and
exciting visuals.”
