Almost 5 months in the making, the animated video – which was a long-standing dream of Rajput – was brought to life in collaboration with a Bangalore-based visual artist Pratik Dey. But the collaboration with his long-time music idol, the former Megadeth guitar player Marty Friedman, was pure serendipity.
Conceptually, Quest touches on the topic of breaking the illusions of ‘me and mine’ that one lives with and gets attached to. The video narrates the story of a child (who is aggrieved and discontented with the state of the world), on a ‘quest’ to find his very purpose of his existence. In this journey, as he grows, he falls into the slow rut of society and becomes a part of it; which leads him to almost lose his mind until something nudges him to realise that the quest itself, is the purpose.
