Nitin Sawhney, Tim Burgess, Nainita Desai and Ayanna Witter-Johnson discuss how their family and cultural history impacts their creativity, being conscious of who they're representing when creating, and how their output is a reflection of their changing identities. Producer, composer, and DJ Nitin Sawhney grew up studying the piano, guitar, sitar and tabla, and released his debut album Spirit Dance in 1993. Since then he has scored music for theatre, dance, video games and cinema, including the BBC TV series Human Planet. He's also produced albums for the likes of Helene Grimaud and Anoushka Shankar, conducted and composed for the London Symphony Orchestra, and had his own BBC classical Prom. He's also DJed at world-renowned London nightclub Fabric and has worked with Paul McCartney, Nelson Mandela, Joss Stone, Annie Lennox, Sting and Mira Nair. His new album Identity will be coming out this year on October 13th. Tim Burgess is a singer, musician, and record label owner, best known as the frontman of influential English rock band the Charlatans. He's enjoyed an incredibly successful career in music, from releasing hit singles throughout the 90s to exploring the fabric of pop and rock in his books, as well as his ever-popular Tim's Twitter Listening Party events on social media. Nainita Desai is an award-winning composer of film, television and video game music with a background in sound design. She creates powerful, emotive scores, and moves seamlessly from working with orchestras to using her collection of custom-made instruments. Some of her recent projects include The Reason I Jump, an immersive cinematic exploration of neurodiversity, and the Oscar-nominated documentary For Sama. Ayanna Witter-Johnson is a composer, singer and cellist whose music crosses the boundaries of classical, jazz, reggae, soul and R&B. She's toured with the likes of Anoushka Shankar and Courtney Pine, recorded with Akala, and composed for the London Symphony Orchestra, effortlessly straddling different musical worlds.

Detta avsnitt är producerat av David Benjamin Blower från The Nomad Podcast https://www.nomadpodcast.co.uk/nomad-podcast/everybody-now/ och är öppen för alla som vill dela det på sin egen plattform att göra det. Jag lyssnade på det när det först kom ut och kände att jag gärna ville dela med mig av det till er alla. Avsnittet börjar direkt och har ingen intro eller outtro av mig. De senaste två decennierna har vi blivit mer och mer överens om att vi har gått in i en ny geologisk epok, utlöst enbart av mänskligt beteende. The Anthropocene är en tanke som kan ha enorm innebörd för hur vi ser oss själva som en del av den levande planeten. Mark Maslin är professor i geovetenskap vid UCL och medförfattare till The Human Planet. Catherine Keller är professor i konstruktiv teologi vid Drew University, New Jersey, och är författare till många böcker inklusive Facing Apocalypse.

The last two decades have seen a growing consensus that we have entered a new geological epoch, triggered solely by human behaviour. The anthropocene is an idea with huge implications for how we see ourselves as part of the living planet. Mark Maslin is Professor of Earth Science at UCL and co-author of The Human Planet. Catherine Keller is professor of constructive theology at Drew University, New Jersey, and is the author of many books including Facing Apocalypse.

BBC's Human Planet is one of the most spectacular documentary series ever made. It took four years to make and was filmed in more than 40 countries - many of the most remote on the globe.Human Planet uncovers nature's greatest human stories, and celebrates our ability to adapt and live in virtually every habitat - from scorching deserts to frozen poles and steamy jungles.The landmark series received eight BAFTA nominations, winning two: for cinematography and editing. It also won an Emmy and best natural history series at the Panda awards. And this week's guest, Dale Templar, was the series producer - the creative brains behind it all.As a documentary and TV maker, Dale specialises in filming in extreme and often dangerous locations with both humans and wildlife. Her adventures have taken her everywhere, including Antarctica and the North Pole. (And she has produced and directed a range of stars including British adventurer Bear Grylls.) This is such a rare chance to hear from one of the greatest doco producers on the planet. Dale reflects on the lessons she learnt from producing the Human Planet series; the grit and gumption needed to be a world-class producer - especially since forming her own independent production company, One Tribe TV, with her husband; and her experience of working with Bear Grylls and other celebs in the jungles of Costa Rica.SHOW NOTESOne Tribe TV's Website: https://www.onetribetv.co.uk/More about Dale: https://www.onetribetv.co.uk/dale-templarWe acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we have recorded this podcast, the Darug people.

The composer and multi-instrumentalist Nitin Sawhney has been commissioned to write a contemporary piece in response to Benjamin Britten's piece War Requiem, which was premiered 60 years ago. Nitin's new piece, like Benjamin Britten's work, will be premiered in Coventry Cathedral in England's Midlands. It will be performed both inside the cathedral and in the preserved ruins of the old cathedral that was bombed in WWII. The new work, called Ghosts in the Ruins, will be a response to Britten's War Requiem but with a 21st century twist, concentrating on the plight of refugees and migrants. In the Studio follows Nitin as he works with professional musicians, poets and community choirs to create this site-specific work of art. Known for studio albums including the acclaimed Beyond Skin, Nitin's career has seen him collaborate with major international artists including Paul McCartney, Sting, Mira Nair, Anoushka Shankar, Norah Jones and Herbie Hancock, as well as working with Nelson Mandela. His film and TV music includes Netflix's Mowgli and the BBC's epic Human Planet series. In 2017, he received the Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement Award.
George Steinmetz is a documentary photographer based in New Jersey, who has shot more than 40 major photo essays for National Geographic. He has won three prizes from World Press Photo, the Environmental Vision award from Pictures of the Year, a citation from the Overseas Press Club, he was named National Geographic's Adventurer of the Year in 2008 and he has a 1 million strong following on Instagram. George is best know for his aerial photography, mainly using a motorised paraglider, which enables him to capture unique images of places inaccessible by traditional aircraft. His restless curiosity for the unknown drove him to hitchhike across Africa as a young man and has been the drive behind his epic body of work which covers remote landscapes, climate change and global food supply. George's work has huge scope and scale and our conversation touches on a few of George's long-term projects, how and why he got into aerial photography and how he was almost shot with an arrow. It's a real privilege to have George on the show and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Show Notes Thank you to our sponsor, MPB.

Meteorites, mega-volcanoes, and plate tectonics--the old forces of nature--have transformed Earth for millions of years. They are now joined by a new geological force--humans. Our actions have driven Earth into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. For the first time in our home planet's 4.5-billion-year history a single species is increasingly dictating Earth's future. To some the Anthropocene symbolizes a future of superlative control of our environment. To others it is the height of hubris, the illusion of our mastery over nature. Whatever your view, just below the surface of this odd-sounding scientific word, the Anthropocene, is a heady mix of science, philosophy, and politics linked to our deepest fears and utopian visions. In The Human Planet: How We Created the Anthropocene (Yale UP, 2018), scientists Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin reveal a new view of human history and a new outlook for the future of humanity in the unstable world we have created.

BTC $ 18'768 Today's guest on the show is the award-winning Photographer @MrTimothyAllen who was one of the geniuses behind the Human Planet Series and an awesome Britcoiner! Join Tim and I as we face down questions from each of our kids about homeschooling, photography and #Bitcoin. Listen to some of the most amazing stories from far off worlds as Tim describes some of his work on the Human Planet series. Do you remember the scenes of a tribesman scaling a tree for honey or the guy crossing a raging river on a tightrope? How did Tim feel about the series filming an uncontacted tribe in Brazil and how have these peeks into primal humanity shaped his thinking about our species? What lead @MrTimothyAllen to #Bitcoin and how does he hope to be able to transition away from his current projects to somehow work in the #Bitcoin space? A huge thank you to @MrTimothyAllen for taking the time to come on the show and share these stories with us! Make sure you go and check out Tim's new project, a new movie that launches for free next week! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O59DuGXdCbM I stand on the shoulders of giants, these guys are amazing.

In this seminar we host Michael Goldstein, @bitstein, of the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute. We discuss our two favorite topics: bitcoin and meat. Michael curated justmeat.co a page with very rich resources on meat, including the amazing story of Arctic explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson. We are also fortunate to have among our attendees in the seminar Timothy Allen, filmmaker, adventurer, and photographer who has spent years traveling with nomadic tribes in the Arctic and worked on the BBC's Human Planet documentary. We discuss the diet and health of meat-eating tribes as described in Stefansson's and Timothy's travels, the joys of moving reindeer across Siberia while eating raw frozen fish, and the arctic version of red wine.
An absolutely fascinating discussion this week sees Nitin Sawhney welcome Norah Jones, Anoushka Shankar and Soumik Datta to discuss the differences between being a solo artist versus being part of a band, the importance of playing with heart over technique, and how collaborating and working with different musicians changes their sound. Nitin Sawhney grew up studying the piano, guitar, sitar and tabla. He has released scores of albums, and composed for theatre, dance, video games and cinema, including the film Mowgli for Netflix and the BBC TV series Human Planet. He’s also worked with the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, Nelson Mandela, Joss Stone, Annie Lennox, Sting, and Mira Nair. Norah Jones is a nine-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician. She launched her solo music career in 2002 with her debut album Come Away with Me, and since then she’s sold over 50 million records worldwide. She’s also collaborated with Herbie Hancock, Outkast, Foo Fighters, Willie Nelson, Q-Tip and former Music Life guest Robert Glasper. Anoushka Shankar is a musician, composer and producer who began training on the sitar with her father, Ravi. She made her professional debut at the age of 13 and had made three classical solo records by the time she was twenty. She was also the first Indian musician to perform live at the Grammy Awards, and she has worked with the likes of M.I.A., Rodrigo y Gabriela, Gold Panda, Lenny Kravitz, Deva Premal, and Zakir Hussain. And finally, Soumik Datta is a British-Indian musician and composer who specialises in the sarod. He has collaborated with Beyoncé, Joss Stone, Anoushka Shankar, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and host Nitin Sawhney. He has also presented documentaries examining how music helps us understand India’s past and present, and was invited by Jay-Z to join him on stage for Royal Albert Hall’s first ever hip-hop concert.
Timothy Allen on BBC Human Planet, Judging Travel Photographer of the Year & Thinking Differently About Photography Income Creation."Offer more than you're asking for."- Timothy Allen Timothy Allen (@timothy_allen | humanplanet.com) Timothy Allen was born in Tonbridge in the South East of England in 1971. At 22, after graduating from Leeds University with a BSc Zoology he left the UK and spent 3 years travelling through Indonesia before beginning a part-time diploma in photography at Hereford College of Art and Design. After joining an aid convoy to Bosnia in order to shoot his first-year reportage project his work received some attention and he consequently left college, moved to London and began working for the Sunday Telegraph, later inspiring commissions from all the British broadsheet publications and finally, a 6 year position at The Independent working predominantly on features and portraits. Timothy joined Axiom Photographic Agency in 2002 leading him to cover a dynamic and broad spectrum of global stories with subjects ranging from the civil war in the remote Spice Islands of far eastern Indonesia, to the intriguing subculture of The World Taxidermy Championships in Springfield , Illinois.Beginning in 2009 the BBC commissioned Timothy to work on the landmark series Human Planet. For two years he was in charge of the production's photography at a time when the first DSLRs were beginning to adopt HD film capabilities and consequently his job included shooting film footage and multimedia content as well as the conventional photographic stills destined for use in the programme's worldwide publicity, a best selling book and a touring photographic exhibition. The weekly blog he wrote documenting his experiences during that incredible project can be found here.In recent years the focus of his work has continued to move in the direction of multimedia production taking him to every corner of the globe, from 19 000 ft up in the Himalayas to 40 metres beneath the South China Sea as well as projects within communities in the Arctic, tropical rain forests and remote desert locations.Timothy is a regular commentator on TV and radio in the field of media and travel/exploration and he has appeared in a number of films and documetaries. He is also an experienced public speaker having undertaken inspirational lecture tours for the likes of the Royal Geographical Society as well as giving keynote presentations at conferences and corporate events around the world. He also runs a small number of very popular workshops and expeditions for photographers and filmmakers who desire the opportunity to work and learn alongside him. In 2016 Timothy created a photography scholarship award in conjunction with the Sharjah Government Media Bureau. Each year the Timothy Allen Photography Scholarship Award (TAPSA) is awarded to 5 photographers from around the world and includes a 10 day trip to the United Arab Emirates to work alongside Allen.Commendations include: 6 Picture Editors Guild Awards, 19 Travel Photographer of the Year commendations including the overall title in 2013, The Pangea Award of Excellence at SIPA 2016, 2 British Press Awards nominations as Photographer of the Year and a Press Photographer's Year Award. ‘Human Planet' has received a host of awards including 2 BAFTAs, an Emmy and the ITB Cultural Book Prize.“Better known for my photographs of far away places I am also a producer/director of films. I began work in London's Fleet Street… Guardian, Telegraph and Times before settling down at The Independent for 6 years. After leaving the world of photojournalism I slipped into a life on the road shooting documents of the most interesting things I could find on the planet. My passion has always been indigenous cultures, sparked by a life-changing encounter I had with an isolated community whilst on an university ecological research project in 1991. Nowadays I love visiting remote locations and the exceptional people who inhabit them.Please don't mistake me for a documentarian in the traditional sense. That, I am certainly not. My films and photographs are often very subjective and I enjoy viewing the world through overly romantic eyes. Similarly, my intention is not to ‘document disappearing cultures for the sake of future generations'. That is a concept I've never felt comfortable with. As far as I can tell, the main motivation behind my work is a desire to understand myself and the relationships I have with other people. It is a very personal journey of discovery that is also my living. If my work inspires you to do the same then that is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. It is my belief that our individual journeys offer us all the chance to become better people.When ever I get the chance I travel as a backpacker and I always turn off my mobile phone while I'm away. I am a traveler from the pre-internet generation of Poste Restante and word-of mouth so I'm always looking for that kind of experience in my 21st century journeys. I try not to get cynical about the contemporary world but forgive me if my years get the better of me every now and then. Amongst many other things, I love the outdoors, gardening and especially my adoptive country Wales where I live with my family on a quiet hill near Hay on Wye.”Please enjoy!***If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts?

“Blessed with an unparalleled memory for melody and vocal technique from virtually any culture, Nicki is able to easily leap from folk, French trip-hop, deep gospel, jazz or choral vocals to Indian classical or Arabic inflections as if all were emanating directly from her soul,” describes long time collaborator Nitin Sawhney who adds that:“Nicki is an entirely new phenomenon. She is truly the first global singer.”Singer, songwriter and composer Nicki Wells, AKA TURYA has performed in some of the world’s most prestigious venues from London’s Royal Albert Hall and Sydney Opera House to Glastonbury’s main Pyramid Stage.I met Nicki briefly some 8 years ago now outside Triyoga via a Dear mutual friend who sadly took her own life not long afterwards. Little did I know when we met how she would remain part of that connection.Simply put, I’m a huge fan of Nicki’s. This beautiful human has accompanied my inner journey from meditation to personal yoga practices, classes and my studios. Her etherial voice connects with an inner effortlessness and flows as if calling you home.This conversation is a versatile and fluid as her music, we traverse, her obviously stunning voice, her composition work, Nitin Sawhney, her childhood in Himachel Pradesh surrounded by mystic musicality, creativity, spirituality, consciousness, oneness, lightness of spirit and her more recent calling of sound to silence.Her voice has contributed to a number of films including Andy Serkis’s Mowgli, Deepa Mehta’s Midnight’s Children, Renny Harlin’s The Legend of Hercules and was a major part of the scores of BBC documentaries such as The Human Planet series.Amongst many other projects, Nicki also composed the score to documentary filmmaker Koen Suidgeest’s: Girl Connected and then joined forces with renowned sitarist Anoushka Shankar to compose the score for upcoming documentary film An Officer and His Holiness.She is currently scoring the music to Indian Classical dancer Aditi Mangaldas’s new contemporary dance show to be premiered in India 2020 and joining forces once again with Aakash Odedra for his new epic production Samsara where he is joined by Chinese dancer Hu Shenyuan.

Ninja reviews The Human Planet: How We Created the Anthropocene by Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin. The book was published by Pelican in 2018 and explores the concept of the Anthropocene as a new geological epoch, amongst all the controversy that entails (it appears that geologists can get quite riled about such things). Ultimately it shows how humans have become so dominant on Earth we are now leaving a geological record and have altered the course of evolution.

They are Exposure Averaging, Segmentation, a series I started several years ago, and expectations about color and a calibrated system for our printing process. Topic: This is the 50thepisode. Wow, what a milestone. Just a brief history about the show in case you’re a newer listener and you are interested in these things. This show actually started as part of the Improve Photography Network. In April 2018 the founder of Improve Photography gave the other contributing podcasters the various shows. The main show is now Master Photography Podcast and is owned by five of us. Each “side show” as it were, was given to the primary host. This show was my baby from its inception and was originally co-hosted with my friend Brian McGuckin. With the changes that happened I assumed full control of this show and he decided to one day resurrect Thoughts on Photography. So, I relaunched this show with the first episode publishing on May 4, 2018. So that’s where the count “50” is coming from. If I were to count the shows I did with Brian we’d be at over 60 or something like that. But this is a count from when I rebooted the show. In this timeframe I think I’ve only relied on one Latitude Replay where I republished a show with Brian. I put a question out in the facebook group on what I should do, if anything, for episode 50. One suggestion was to give an account of what I’ve learned/gotten/achieved in this timeframe. The biggest thing really, is the friendships, relationships and connections I’ve been able to make. I’m sure you can probably tell, but I can talk about photography until I’m blue in the face, and that’s just getting started. I can’t do that with most of my friends, if I did they probably wouldn’t be my friends anymore. To actually have people who are just as interested in this field as I am and to hang out with them and talk shop with is just amazing. I’m loving every minute of it. I’ve also gotten to talk with a lot of great photographers. I think of the episode where I talked with Ashley Tinker about photographing Provence, Dan Bailey came on twice to talk Fujifilm gear with me, Brian Pex talked with me about photographing the Palouse which is just a couple hours north of me, but he’s from Boston so it was good to get on outsider’s perspective there. Quite possibly the most moving and sobering episode was with Randy Narkir when we talked about the March of the Living which is an educational program bringing individuals from around the world to Poland and Isreal to study the history of the Holocaust and to examine the roots of prejudice, intolerance and hatred. I even had Ted Meister on from ThinkTank Photo, maker of some fine camera bags and then there’s David duChemin who took over a year to schedule. But it was worth the effort! Fellow teacher Mary Malinconico has been on a few times to talk about workshop expectations and we also discussed the book by Ibarionex Perello called Making Photographs. Oh, and I had Ibarionex on too! And I can’t forget Chris Marquardt, host of Tips from the Top Floor, the longest running photography podcast. There was also Timothy Allen, photographer for the BBC series called The Human Planet. OK, I think that’s enough, I just have to bring back a few of these top episodes and replay a bit of them for you here. The first one comes from Ibarionex. If you haven’t listened to this episode please do so. He’s got some amazing insights. I asked him what advice he would give someone who wants to try street photography but is feeling intimidated. Let’s listen to his response: And now let’s listen to Chris Marquardt talking about a time when he just had to stop and soak in the experience before he could start making any photographs. In this next section David duChemin is talking about principles learned in the book Art and Fear, every creative needs to hear this. And here’s David again talking about the importance of the print. I couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s so true! And here’s Timothy Allen on the hazards of the job in Africa. There’s plenty more I could draw out but I’d better leave it at this. Many thanks to all the special guests I’ve had on the show and I look forward to the next 50 episodes and the next guests I’ll have on. Some of which will be repeats I’m sure, though there’s so many great photographers out there. If you have ideas of who you want to hear on the show please do let me know. In the last episode I asked for feedback and it didn’t take but a couple of hours for Paul from Minnesota to reach out and share some thoughts. This is another incredible perk of being a podcaster. I mentioned earlier the connections I’m afforded, hearing from listeners is absolutely a huge part of that and I’m grateful. Paul writes that he knows the basics but still struggles to put it all together to “make photographs.” He then described some of his pain points which I’ll not get into, but I know I can certainly resonate with him on that. Getting to know you and knowing who my listeners are helps me create a better show. Either writing a direct email like Paul did or being involved in the facebook group is wonderful and I appreciate any interaction I have like that. Let’s get on now to the main topics I wanted to discuss. These are three of my recent videos I posted to YouTube. The first is called Exposure Averaging with windblown foreground elements. https://youtu.be/zcEV6hqe16M I was in the Denver area for several days and on the Tuesday we left town I got up early and went out to shoot sunrise at Roxborough State Park. We were staying at an Airbnb in Littleton so the drive was actually not that long. I walked around a bunch and finally found a composition I liked. The sun was just barely up and it was striking the rocks nicely. I had some evergreen trees in the foreground but my goal was to emphasize the clouds in the sky, I really wanted them to go all blurry and smooth. I could have achieved this by attaching my 10 stop ND filter and getting a several minute exposure. But this can build up a lot of digital noise. I shoot the 5d4 by Canon so it wouldn’t have been too bad, but still, I didn’t want to run that route on this shot. Besides, I’d have to blend at least two exposures together anyway so I could get a solid shot of the foreground tree that I’d framed up. The trees in the mid ground were fine with me if they were blurry, but that one if the foreground needed to stay solid. So the wind was blowing and I had a bit of movement in that tree. Explain the rest of the process here https://youtu.be/DhlHh4O0LxI The next video shows the process of putting together a series of images I’m working on called Segmentation. It’s a long running series that I do every time I am moved by a particular subject. Usually that subject is a tree or shrub of some sort. The main point of this project is to capture the subject in pieces and then assemble it together in Photoshop later. I’ll zoom in to isolate a part of the subject and then work around the subject so that I can have some overlap between frames. Usually in post-production I’ll crop the sections to be square. And the pieces rarely overlap perfectly. I’m often on a tripod when I do this, but with lens distortions and other perspective changes the items just don’t line up perfectly. And that’s OK. That’s part of the fun of a project like this. I’ll then take each square and put a white stroke on it so that each segment is clearly separated from the others. The fun of this project is that when you’re viewing it the eye has to fill in the rest of the details. And it has fun doing so, at least for some. I shared this out in the facebook group and I had two fellas comment how they will try this next time they’re out there. I’m anxious to see their results. But I remember one time I shared one a while ago and someone replied something along the lines of “why don’t you just shoot it in one shot?” They kind of missed the point I guess. And finally, my third video has to do with soft proofing in photoshop. I titled it “Recalibrating your expectation for print color accuracy.” As far as the show notes are concerned I’ll leave you with a video link. But I’ll continue describing it here in the episode. https://youtu.be/wKuHGHH5Tqw
The scale of human impact on our planet is not easy to engage with – even scientists often have a narrow focus on the specific problems they're trying to solve. In this episode, we talk with Professor Mark Maslin about humanity's impact on the planet and the new geological epoch into which we are entering as a result – the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene is the scientific definition of the geological time frame in which human impact has become so large that we're now in a new geological epoch. It only identifies the “when” without ascribing causation, but will allow us to move forward to discussing specific causes. In this interview, Mark first of all presents the scale of our environmental impact with powerful data. First there is the tremendous impact from the vast amount of concrete we need for buildings and more, in fact we've already made enough to cover the entire planet with a 2mm layer. In addition, we've already destroyed what should be normal ecology on land, with only 3% of land mammals being wildlife (the other 97% being humans and domesticated animals). Not to mention the deforestation – we've already harvested effectively half of the trees on the planet. Mark talks about an inherent contradiction between the environmental problems we're facing and continued economic growth. We're currently on track to double the size of our economic system, but we desperately need to break our obsession with consumption, question the Western model and rethink the way we define economic systems to account for impacts to society. Mark believes there is hope that we now have enough knowledge to do something about our predicament, but argues we need several big changes. One is effective leaders who can make real change by leveraging crises to implement balances and checks. We need to take advantage of win-win situations where there is a positive impact that will also happen beyond addressing global climate impacts. Mark suggests we should tackle reforestation, as people move to urban centers and we have available land. He argues we should adopt Universal Basic Income so that people have breathing room to truly innovate and become entrepreneurs and problem solvers. And last but not least, that we should empower the next generation who is already motivated and engaging with climate strikes. Mark Maslin is leading scientist with particular expertise in past global and regional climatic change. He is published in over 165 papers in journals such as Science, Nature, and The Lancet and authored 8 popular books including most recently, The Human Planet. He is Professor of Earth Systems Science at University College London, a Royal Society Industrial Fellow, Executive Director of Rezatec Ltd and science advisor to the Global Cool Foundation. The post Episode 70: Interview with Mark Maslin, Professor of Earth Systems Science, UCL, author of The Human Planet appeared first on The Sustainability Agenda.
Nitin Sawhney is a composer, musician and producer working in the worlds of music, film, video games, dance and theatre. He has released 10 studio albums, scored over 50 films and television programmes, and is known for his collaborations, with musicians and artists including Paul McCartney, Akram Khan, John Hurt and Andy Serkis. He was born in 1964 to parents who had emigrated from North India the previous year to work in the UK. His father was a chemical engineer while his mother taught English and later worked at the post office in their home town of Rochester. Nitin showed early musical promise when he took up the piano aged five, later also learning flamenco guitar, sitar and tabla. He was bullied at school at a time when the National Front was gaining traction and music became his sanctuary. After abandoning a law degree at Liverpool and completing an accountancy course in Hertfordshire, he became financial controller of a hotel, before leaving to become a full time musician. While at college, he met Sanjeev Bhaskar and formed a comedy duo with him which would become the radio and TV series, Goodness Gracious Me. His breakthrough came with his fourth album, released in 1999, entitled Beyond Skin, which was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. Since then, his career has been in the ascendant: he has established himself as one of the most versatile composers for film, scoring pictures like Midnight’s Children and television programmes including the BBC’s Human Planet series. He received the Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017.

Topic: Interview with Timothy Allen As I look through your site I’m simply drawn in by the stories told there. Incredible stories about fascinating places and people here on this great planet of ours. So it’s my hope, today, to talk about a few of these. It looks like you’re a filmmaker too. So you’re capturing stories with still images and motion as well. Main Points of interest https://humanplanet.com/timothyallen Tell us a little bit about the BBC series, Human Planet You have a few items written up on your site, one of which is the Living root bridges in Meghalaya, India. Describe the location for us and let’s talk about these magnificent trees turned bridges. How about Comic Relief Desert Trek, that looks like an incredible story There’s another story on the Bayaka Honey Gatherer. In it you describe the Bayaka people as, “Totally at home in their jungle. Hunting with spears, adept at climbing trees, they can build an overnight shelter from scratch in less than half an hour. They have an incredible culture of song and drumming rhythms and a fascinating tradition of forest spirituality that involves enthralling dances and a mythology of glow-in-the-dark forest spirits created from a luminescent jungle fungus.” How is it that you can work with a people group like this and relate to them. Are there interpreters, guides? It seems that something unique is going on here to aide in the communication. Describe the process of what they’re doing. They are climbing these trees and you’re sending up a filming crew to get a close in view of what they’re doing. It looks like they’re getting pretty high. How high up are they going? Let’s talk a bit about your workshops and expeditions. It looks like you take people to some far out places, Mongolia, for example.
