- Closer To Nature - A Documentary About Violin Maker D.Badiarov
NOTE: Ever since the criminal invasion of Ukraine by Russia began, this beautiful ship and her anti-Putin, anti-corruption government captain-who has lived in exile since the ship was built-have been banned from participating in European tall ship festivals solely due to his place of birth. It's ironic to see how many seemingly intelligent Europeans lack independent thought and the humanity to avoid discriminating against those who share similar beliefs and cultural values. I pray for the war to end and for our fellow European citizens to retain their humanity. Perhaps they could take a cue from captains of monumental European ships like this one, protesting against the promotion of hatred: if the Shtandart is not allowed to participate, then we won't either. The ban was lifted. Humanity prevailed. If it can prevail at sea, it can prevail on land. Hopefully, this sentiment will resonate among "culture workers" as well.

If you built that galleon I'm impressed,even if you didn't, such maintenance and work,you are a true craftsman, entirely impressed. My father built sailboats, I learned how to sail. My grandfather gave me my great grandfather's violin. I had such great trouble with it. It's nice to see a real lutier!. More later. I just got into carving bridge blanks. It's a science.
The ship was built by the captain and her crew. So, you are a sailor and into luthiery?
You play good and the violin have a beautiful sound
Wow Dmitry. Excellent documentary. Glad I got recommended this. :)
Oh, nice! Thank you! Was it YT who recommended it?
@@badiarov Yes! I didn’t know you had films like these. I have scrolled very far down to your earlier videos and never saw it. For once the algorithm does something right! Also Dmitry, can you have a listen to my score one more time? I made some changes based on your last feedback. Would love to know what you think about it! Lemme know if you have some time and I will send it over to your LinkedIn.
@@albertwugamedev Sure. Send it!
Beautiful documentary

One of my students is passionate about serving Irish/Scottish fiddlers and he is making awesome instruments. At least, that's what I can assume from his being sold and out having a waiting list.
Isn't it symbolic? Both the ship and a classic violin are outdated design, and while such ships are no longer used, except for some cultural and entertainment (or similar) purposes, violins are still made and used widely. Isn't it telling us that we have real big problem? What tradition paired with fear (here I mean professional musicians, that they won't fit) killed innovation?
:-) Try sailing. There is hardly a community of people even more alive than those under sail. As for musicians: why try so hard to fit, when the purpose of an artist is to stand out?
@@badiarovMy point is different. Current hierarchy, and this includes both business and musicians themselves, is holding a progress. It creates situation that will result in explosion and elimination of anything that hold society from moving forward.

You seem to be hinting at the idea that the current economic model in music is unstable and unsustainable. According to an article in The Strad, only about 20 out of the myriad of orchestras in the USA receive a decent salary. You're probably right. However, what is the current hierarchy, and in your view, what is preventing society from moving forward? Is it perhaps that musicians still stick with Mozart, albeit Justin Bieber is 94% more popular?
@@badiarov Well. What happened right after Great October Revolution? All army ranks had been eliminated, all scientific ranks had been eliminated. And more and more.
It took bureaucracy 26 years (in case of army) and special covers to more or less restore similar form of them.
If you check latest book of Peter (who wrote Peter Principle with coauthor, but later books are not widely known) - he has fundamental idea that hierarchies are similar to live species - they want to survive, to expand habitat and absolutely don't want to perform original function, if it is possible, and don't want change.
My idea is that lack of progress with electric instruments, with modelling is due to formed hierarchies that protect their money and position.
This includes musicians, manufacturers, experts on youtube and so on.
Issue with orchestras is just consequence of attempt to somehow hold the past and bring it into the future.
90% of orchestras will die instantly if exposed to open market, without any funds, charity, support. Same is true for guitar band also, btw, just number is close to 99.9%.
@@personalview7388 Your profound knowledge on a myriad of important issues is both dazzling and impressive. I hope you are putting it to the service of your clients.
