ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Ryan Holladay - Musician
Brothers Ryan and Hays Holladay explore the intersection of art and technology with an emphasis on music and sound, with projects ranging from multichannel audio installations to interactive performances to mobile apps.

Why you should listen

The Holladay brothers have done pioneering work in location-aware music composition: music created and mapped to a physical space, released as mobile apps, that use a mobile device’s GPS to dynamically alter the music as the listener traverses a landscape. Their first production, “The National Mall,” a location-aware piece mapped to the Mall in Washington, DC, was described by music critic Chris Richards “magical...like using GPS to navigate a dream.” They went on to create similar works for Central Park in New York and for SXSW Interactive in Austin, Texas, and are engaged in a long-term project of sonically mapping the entirety of the Pacific Coast Highway. Ryan is a 2013 TED Fellow.

Glazbena industrija se ponekad borila kako bi našla svoje mjesto u digitalnom svijetu. U ovom divnom govoru TED suradnik Ryan Holladay nam govori o tome zašto eksperimentira s onim što on opisuje kao 'glazba prema lokaciji'. Ovaj programerski i glazbeni poduhvat podrazumijeva stotine geografski mapiranih segmenata glazbe koji se mogu čuti samo kad se slušatelj nalazi fizički u blizini. (Snimljeno na događanju TED@BCG.)

I'd like to talk to you todaydanas a little bitbit about the work
14
48815
2826
Danas bih vam želio malo pričati
o tome što
01:03
that my brotherbrat HaysHejz and I are doing --
15
51641
3157
moj brat Hays i ja zapravo radimo --
01:06
That's us there. That's bothoba of us actuallyzapravo
16
54798
3446
To smo mi. Tu smo zapravo obojica --
01:10
specificallyposebno about a conceptkoncept that we'veimamo been
developingrazvoju over the last fewnekoliko yearsgodina,
17
58244
3807
a posebno o konceptu kojeg smo
razvijali posljednjih nekoliko godina,
01:14
this ideaideja of location-awarepoložaj-svjestan musicglazba.
18
62051
3609
o ideji glazbe prema lokaciji.
01:17
Now, my brotherbrat and I, we're musiciansglazbenici

Ali prije nego što zađem dublje
u ovu temu
01:48
let me tell you a little bitbit about how we got startedpočeo

04:48
but would like to hearčuti this recordsnimiti.
99

2151
ali bi htjeli poslušati ovaj album.
04:50
Well, unlikeza razliku od a normalnormalan albumalbum,
100
278797
2643
Za razliku od normalnog albuma,
04:53
we haven'tnisu been ableu stanju to accommodatesmjestiti this requestzahtjev.

nismo mogli udovoljiti ovakvom zahtjevu.

When they askpitati for a C.D. or an MPMP3 versionverzija,
102
283728

Kada traže C.D. ili MP3 verziju,
04:58
we just can't make that happendogoditi se,
103
286726
2196
mi im to ne možemo omogućiti,
05:00
and the reasonrazlog is because
104
288922
2178
a razlog je taj što
05:03
this isn't a promotionalpromotivne appapp
105
291100
1985
ovo nije promotivna aplikacija
05:05

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Ryan Holladay - Musician
Brothers Ryan and Hays Holladay explore the intersection of art and technology with an emphasis on music and sound, with projects ranging from multichannel audio installations to interactive performances to mobile apps.

Why you should listen

The Holladay brothers have done pioneering work in location-aware music composition: music created and mapped to a physical space, released as mobile apps, that use a mobile device’s GPS to dynamically alter the music as the listener traverses a landscape. Their first production, “The National Mall,” a location-aware piece mapped to the Mall in Washington, DC, was described by music critic Chris Richards “magical...like using GPS to navigate a dream.” They went on to create similar works for Central Park in New York and for SXSW Interactive in Austin, Texas, and are engaged in a long-term project of sonically mapping the entirety of the Pacific Coast Highway. Ryan is a 2013 TED Fellow.
