I'm not quite sure whether I really want to see

朝の9時からスネアドラムに
00:29
a snare drum at nine o'clock or so in the morning.
1
4000
4000
お目にかかりたいかは 悩むところですが…
00:33
But anyway, it's just great to see such a full theater,
2
8000
4000
会場が満員なのは光栄です
00:37
and really I must thank Herbie Hancock
3
12000
2000
ハービー ハンコックと
00:39
and his colleagues for such a great presentation. (Applause)
4
14000
4000
メンバーの演奏も見事でしたね
00:43
One of the interesting things,
5
18000
4000
興味深かったのは
00:47
of course, is the combination of that raw hand on the instrument
6
22000
6000
楽器を弾く手とテクノロジーとの競演と
00:53
and technology, and of course what he said about listening to our young people.
7
28000
7000
"若い人たちに耳を傾けよう" という彼の話でした
01:00
Of course, my job is all about listening,
8
35000
5000
私の仕事も 聴くことが全てで
01:05
and my aim, really, is to teach the world to listen.
9
40000
6000
世界の人々に聴くことを教えるのが目的です
01:11
That's my only real aim in life.
10
46000
4000
人生の唯一の目的と言えます
01:15
And it sounds quite simple, but actually it's quite a big, big job.
11
50000
6000
簡単に聞こえますが 実際はかなりの大仕事
01:21
Because you know, when you look at a piece of music -- for example,
12
56000
6000
なぜなら楽譜を見ると 例えば
01:27
if I just open my little motorbike bag -- we have here, hopefully,
13
62000
8000
このバッグの中にある
01:35
a piece of music that is full of little black dots on the page.
14
70000
6000
楽譜は小さな黒い点だらけです
01:41
And, you know, we open it up and I read the music.
15
76000
8000
広げて… 楽譜を読みます
01:49
So technically, I can actually read this.
16
84000
5000
楽譜は もちろん読めます
01:54
I will follow the instructions, the tempo markings, the dynamics.
17
89000
4000
速度や強弱など 指示に従い
01:58
I will do exactly as I'm told.
18
93000
5000
書かれたとおりに演奏します
02:03
And so therefore, because time is short,
19
98000
3000
それで… 時間が限られているので
02:06
if I just play you literally the first maybe two lines or so. It's very straightforward.
20
101000
9000
仮に弾いたら…冒頭だけでも複雑な曲ではないと分かります
02:15
There's nothing too difficult about the piece.
21
110000
1000
難しくはないけど
02:16
But here I'm being told that the piece of music is very quick.
22
111000
4000
とても速い曲のようです
02:20
I'm being told where to play on the drum.
23
115000
4000
叩く場所も 指示されてます
02:24
I'm being told which part of the stick to use.
24
119000
5000
スティックのどこを使うかも 書かれています
02:29
And I'm being told the dynamic.
25
124000
2000
強弱も…
02:31
And I'm also being told that the drum is without snares.
26
126000
5000
スネアをオフにしておくことも…
02:36
Snares on, snares off.
27
131000
3000
これがオンで… これがオフ
02:39
So therefore, if I translate this piece of music, we have this idea. (Music)
28
134000
9000
譜面通りに弾けば どんな曲か分かります
03:18
And so on. My career would probably last about five years.
29
173000
6000
こんな感じ… 5年もせずに職をなくすでしょう
03:24
However, what I have to do as a musician is do everything that is not on the music.
30
179000
8000
しかし譜面にないことをするのが 音楽家の仕事です
03:32
Everything that there isn't time to learn from a teacher,
31
187000
6000
先生とのレッスンや
03:38
or to talk about, even, from a teacher.
32
193000
3000
話し合いでは得られないことを…
03:41
But it's the things that you notice when you're not actually with your instrument
33
196000
5000
楽器から離れている時に 気付いたことを
03:46
that in fact become so interesting, and that you want to explore
34
201000
5000
この小さなドラムの表面を使って
03:51
through this tiny, tiny surface of a drum.
35
206000
4000
試していくんです
03:55
So there, we experience the translation. Now we'll experience the interpretation. (Music) (Applause)
36
210000
6000
譜面通りに弾いたので 今度は解釈をしてみます
04:50
Now my career may last a little longer!
37
265000
8000
これなら仕事として 少し長く続きそうです
04:58
But in a way, you know, it's the same if I look at you and I see
38
273000
5000
ある意味 人をみる時と同じことなんです
05:03
a nice bright young lady with a pink top on.
39
278000
3000
ピンクの服を着た素敵な女性が
05:06
I see that you're clutching a teddy bear, etc., etc.
40
281000
4000
テディベアを抱えている…とか
05:10
So I get a basic idea as to what you might be about, what you might like,
41
285000
5000
どんな人かという基本的なことを知るんです
05:15
what you might do as a profession, etc., etc.
42
290000
5000
何をする人だろう…とか
05:20
However, that's just, you know, the initial idea I may have that we all get
43
295000
6000
これは第一印象を基にしたことでしかありません
05:26
when we actually look, and we try to interpret,
44
301000
3000
それを解釈するんですが
05:29
but actually it's so unbelievably shallow.
45
304000
2000
深い洞察ではない
05:31
In the same way, I look at the music; I get a basic idea;
46
306000
3000
音楽も 楽譜から基本を理解し
05:34
I wonder what technically might be hard, or, you know, what I want to do.
47
309000
5000
技術的に難しい点や 弾き方を考えます
05:39
Just the basic feeling.
48
314000
2000
基本的なことですが
05:41
However, that is simply not enough.
49
316000
2000
それでは不十分
05:43
And I think what Herbie said -- please listen, listen.
50
318000
4000
ハービーの言っていた "聴くこと" です
05:47
We have to listen to ourselves, first of all.
51
322000
4000
まず自分自身に耳を傾けること
05:51
If I play, for example, holding the stick -- where literally I do not let go of the stick --
52
326000
10000
もしスティックを握ったら… 力強く握りしめたら
06:01
you'll experience quite a lot of shock coming up through the arm.
53
336000
4000
腕から かなりの衝撃が感じられます
06:05
And you feel really quite -- believe it or not --
54
340000
2000
しかし 意外にも
06:07
detached from the instrument and from the stick,
55
342000
3000
楽器やスティックとの一体感がない
06:10
even though I'm actually holding the stick quite tightly.
56
345000
6000
ギュッと握っているにも関わらずです
06:16
By holding it tightly, I feel strangely more detached.
57
351000
4000
強く握るほど 距離が感じられるんです
06:20
If I just simply let go and allow my hand, my arm, to be more of a support system,
58
355000
7000
力を抜いと 手や腕を支えとして使うと
06:27
suddenly I have more dynamic with less effort. Much more.
59
362000
9000
苦労せず もっと大きな音が出せるし
06:36
And I just feel, at last, one with the stick and one with the drum.
60
371000
5000
スティックやドラムと一体に感じられます
06:41
And I'm doing far, far less.
61
376000
2000
ずっと小さな力で
06:43
So in the same way that I need time with this instrument,
62
378000
3000
楽器を知るのに時間が必要なように
06:46
I need time with people in order to interpret them.
63
381000
6000
人を知るためにも時間が必要です
06:52
Not just translate them, but interpret them.
64
387000
2000
表面上の理解を深めるために
06:54
If, for example, I play just a few bars of a piece of music
65
389000
8000
曲を数小節 弾いてみましょう
07:02
for which I think of myself as a technician --
66
397000
5000
技術者として…
07:07
that is, someone who is basically a percussion player ... (Music)
67
402000
5000
つまりパーカッション プレイヤーとして…
07:24
And so on. If I think of myself as a musician ... (Music)
68
419000
4000
音楽家として弾くと…
07:50
And so on. There is a little bit of a difference there that is worth just -- (Applause)
69
445000
7000
両者には 考えるに値する (会場: 拍手)
07:57
-- thinking about.
70
452000
2000
若干の違いがあります
07:59
And I remember when I was 12 years old,
71
454000
3000
私は12歳の時
08:02
and I started playing tympani and percussion, and my teacher said,
72
457000
6000
打楽器を始めましたが 先生に言われました
08:08
"Well, how are we going to do this? You know, music is about listening."
73
463000
6000
"どうしたものかな… 音楽は聴くことだからね"
08:14
And I said, "Yes, I agree with that. So what's the problem?"
74
469000
4000
私は "そうですけど?" と聞き返しました
08:18
And he said, "Well, how are you going to hear this? How are you going to hear that?"
75
473000
5000
"どうやってこれを聞くんだい? これは?"
08:23
And I said, "Well, how do you hear it?"
76
478000
2000
私は "先生は?" と尋ねました
08:25
He said, "Well, I think I hear it through here."
77
480000
4000
"耳を通して聞くよ" と言うので
08:29
And I said, "Well, I think I do too -- but I also hear it through my hands,
78
484000
5000
"私もそうですけど…それ以外に手や"
08:34
through my arms, cheekbones, my scalp, my tummy, my chest, my legs and so on."
79
489000
7000
"腕 頬骨 頭 おなか 胸 脚でも聞きます" と答えました
08:41
And so we began our lessons every single time tuning drums --
80
496000
6000
…毎回レッスンはドラムのチューニングからでした
08:47
in particular, the kettle drums, or tympani --
81
502000
3000
特にティンパニのチューニングから
08:50
to such a narrow pitch interval, so something like ...
82
505000
9000
このぐらいの狭い音程からです
08:59
that of a difference. Then gradually ... and gradually ...
83
514000
7000
それから少しずつ 少しずつ…
09:06
and it's amazing that when you do open your body up,
84
521000
5000
身体を開き 手を開いて
09:11
and open your hand up to allow the vibration to come through,
85
526000
4000
振動が伝わってくるようにすると
09:15
that in fact the tiny, tiny difference ...
86
530000
4000
ごくわずかな違いを
09:19
can be felt with just the tiniest part of your finger, there.
87
534000
6000
指の小さな部分で 感じ取ることができます
09:25
And so what we would do is that I would put my hands on the wall
88
540000
4000
そこでレッスン室の壁に手を置いて
09:29
of the music room, and together we would "listen" to the sounds of the instruments,
89
544000
7000
先生と一緒に 楽器の音を聴きました
09:36
and really try to connect with those sounds
90
551000
3000
単に耳で聴くよりも
09:39
far, far more broadly than simply depending on the ear.
91
554000
5000
音とより広く一体になろうとしたのです
09:44
Because of course, the ear is, I mean, subject to all sorts of things.
92
559000
4000
耳は いろんなものに影響されますから
09:48
The room we happen to be in, the amplification, the quality of the instrument,
93
563000
5000
その時の部屋や音の増幅 楽器の質
09:53
the type of sticks ... etc., etc.
94
568000
10000
スティックの種類などに…
10:03
They're all different.
95
578000
8000
すべて違うんです
10:11
Same amount of weight, but different sound colors.
96
586000
5000
重さは同じですが 音の"色"が違います
10:16
And that's basically what we are. We're just human beings,
97
591000
2000
人間と同じです 私たちも
10:18
but we all have our own little sound colors, as it were,
98
593000
3000
それぞれが自分の色を持っています
10:21
that make up these extraordinary personalities
99
596000
3000
それが その人独自の個性や
10:24
and characters and interests and things.
100
599000
3000
性格や魅力を作り出します
10:27
And as I grew older, I then auditioned for the Royal Academy of Music in London,
101
602000
6000
その後私は ロンドンの王立音楽院を受験しました
10:33
and they said, "Well, no, we won't accept you, because we haven't a clue,
102
608000
4000
学校側は "将来性が不透明だ" と拒みました
10:37
you know, of the future of a so-called 'deaf' musician."
103
612000
5000
いわゆる"聴覚障害ミュージシャン"の将来性が
10:42
And I just couldn't quite accept that.
104
617000
4000
これは…納得しかねましたね
10:46
And so therefore, I said to them, "Well, look, if you refuse --
105
621000
7000
そこで言いました "もし…"
10:53
if you refuse me through those reasons,
106
628000
3000
"断る理由がそれだけで"
10:56
as opposed to the ability to perform and to understand and love
107
631000
9000
"演奏技術や音を紡ぎ出すことへの"
11:05
the art of creating sound --
108
640000
3000
"情熱を評価しないなら"
11:08
then we have to think very, very hard about the people you do actually accept."
109
643000
6000
"そもそもの合格の意味を考える必要がありますね"
11:14
And as a result -- once we got over a little hurdle, and having to audition twice --
110
649000
6000
その結果… ハードルを越え 試験を2回受け
11:20
they accepted me. And not only that --
111
655000
4000
合格しました しかも
11:24
what had happened was that it changed the whole role
112
659000
4000
これをうけて 全英の音楽院での
11:28
of the music institutions throughout the United Kingdom.
113
663000
4000
その後の方針が変わりました
11:32
Under no circumstances were they to refuse any application whatsoever on the basis of
114
667000
9000
どんな事情があっても 願書を受理するようになったんです
11:41
whether someone had no arms, no legs --
115
676000
2000
腕や脚がなくてもです
11:43
they could still perhaps play a wind instrument if it was supported on a stand.
116
678000
4000
支えがあれば 楽器が吹けるかもしれない
11:47
No circumstances at all were used to refuse any entry.
117
682000
7000
どんな場合も 入学拒否の理由にならなくなった
11:54
And every single entry had to be listened to, experienced and then
118
689000
5000
受験者の演奏を聴き 実際に見て
11:59
based on the musical ability -- then that person could either enter or not.
119
694000
8000
実力に基づいて 合否を決めるようになったんです
12:07
So therefore, this in turn meant that there was an extremely interesting
120
702000
6000
その結果 とても興味深い学生たちが
12:13
bunch of students who arrived in these various music institutions.
121
708000
4000
音楽院に入るようになりました
12:17
And I have to say, many of them now
122
712000
3000
彼らの多くは今
12:20
in the professional orchestras throughout the world.
123
715000
4000
プロとして世界中のオーケストラで活躍しています
12:24
The interesting thing about this as well, though --
124
719000
2000
ここでも興味深いのは
12:26
(Applause) --
125
721000
5000
(拍手)
12:31
is quite simply that not only were people connected with sound --
126
726000
6000
人は誰でも 音と通じ合えるというだけでなく
12:37
which is basically all of us, and we well know that music really is our daily medicine.
127
732000
7000
音楽は 私たちを日々癒してくれる薬なのです
12:44
I say "music," but actually I mean "sound."
128
739000
3000
音楽が というより音が ですね
12:47
Because you know, some of the extraordinary things I've experienced
129
742000
3000
音楽家として貴重な経験をしてきました
12:50
as a musician, when you may have a 15-year-old lad
130
745000
5000
15歳ぐらいの生徒たちがいました
12:55
who has got the most incredible challenges,
131
750000
5000
とてつもない障害を抱えていて
13:00
who may not be able to control his movements,
132
755000
3000
身体を動かすのも ままならず
13:03
who may be deaf, who may be blind, etc., etc. --
133
758000
3000
目や耳が不自由だったり…
13:06
suddenly, if that young lad sits close to this instrument,
134
761000
6000
彼が 楽器のそばに座ったり
13:12
and perhaps even lies underneath the marimba,
135
767000
3000
マリンバの下に横たわる
13:15
and you play something that's so incredibly organ-like, almost --
136
770000
6000
そこで パイプオルガンのように弾きます
13:21
I don't really have the right sticks, perhaps --
137
776000
3000
ピッタリのスティックがないんですが…
13:24
but something like this. Let me change. (Music)
138
779000
4000
こんな感じです
14:18
Something that's so unbelievably simple --
139
833000
1000
シンプルですが
14:19
but he would be experiencing something that I wouldn't be,
140
834000
6000
彼は私とは全く異なる体験をするでしょう
14:25
because I'm on top of the sound.
141
840000
2000
私は音の真上なので
14:27
I have the sound coming this way.
142
842000
3000
音は 上がってきます
14:30
He would have the sound coming through the resonators.
143
845000
3000
彼は共鳴管から音を感じるでしょう
14:33
If there were no resonators on here, we would have ... (Music)
144
848000
10000
共鳴管がなければ 音はこんなです
14:43
So he would have a fullness of sound that those of you in the front few rows
145
858000
4000
下なら音に包まれます 会場の最前列や
14:47
wouldn't experience, those of you in the back few rows wouldn't experience either.
146
862000
4000
後ろの何列かでも感じられません
14:51
Every single one of us, depending on where we're sitting,
147
866000
3000
座っている場所に応じ
14:54
will experience this sound quite, quite differently.
148
869000
4000
まったく違う音を経験するんです
14:58
And of course, being the participator of the sound,
149
873000
3000
もちろん 音を出す人間としては
15:01
and that is starting from the idea of what type of sound I want to produce --
150
876000
6000
まず どんな音を出したいか考えます
15:07
for example, this sound.
151
882000
3000
例えば この音…
15:16
Can you hear anything?
152
891000
3000
聞こえます?
15:19
Exactly. Because I'm not even touching it.
153
894000
3000
その通り 触っていませんから
15:22
But yet, we get the sensation of something happening.
154
897000
6000
それでも何かが起こるのを感じ取ります
15:28
In the same way that when I see tree moves,
155
903000
2000
木の揺れるのを見て
15:30
then I imagine that tree making a rustling sound.
156
905000
4000
葉擦れの音を想像するのと一緒です
15:34
Do you see what I mean?
157
909000
2000
分かります?
15:36
Whatever the eye sees, then there's always sound happening.
158
911000
4000
何かを見る時 そこには音がある
15:40
So there's always, always that huge --
159
915000
4000
いつもいつも 大きな
15:44
I mean, just this kaleidoscope of things to draw from.
160
919000
5000
万華鏡の中にいるかのような…
15:49
So all of my performances are based on entirely what I experience,
161
924000
6000
私の演奏は 自分の経験が基になってます
15:55
and not by learning a piece of music, putting on someone else's interpretation of it,
162
930000
4000
楽譜から学ぶのでも 誰かの解釈に従うのでも
15:59
buying all the CDs possible of that particular piece of music, and so on and so forth.
163
934000
5000
弾く曲のCDを買い集めるのでもありません
16:04
Because that isn't giving me enough of something that is so raw and so basic,
164
939000
6000
それらは素のままの根源的なものを与えず
16:10
and something that I can fully experience the journey of.
165
945000
6000
作り上げる過程を 堪能するには不十分なのです
16:16
So it may be that, in certain halls, this dynamic may well work. (Music)
166
951000
9000
ホールによっては この強さでも十分でしょう
16:34
It may be that in other halls, they're simply not going to experience that
167
969000
4000
別のホールでは全然聞こえないかも…
16:38
at all and so therefore, my level of soft,
168
973000
3000
だから 条件に合わせて弾き方も
16:41
gentle playing may have to be ... (Music)
169
976000
2000
変えるんです
17:08
Do you see what I mean? So, because of this explosion in access to sound,
170
1003000
7000
分かります? 現代では 音は体全体で感じるものになりました
17:15
especially through the deaf community,
171
1010000
2000
特に聴覚障害者の間では…
17:17
this has not only affected how music institutions,
172
1012000
5000
この音の扱いの変化は 音楽院や
17:22
how schools for the deaf treat sound -- and not just as a means of therapy --
173
1017000
6000
養護学校に影響を与えました 治療の手段以外でも…
17:28
although of course, being a participator of music,
174
1023000
3000
音楽の関係者からすると
17:31
that definitely is the case as well.
175
1026000
3000
もちろん治療目的もありますが…
17:34
But it's meant that acousticians have had to really think about the types of halls
176
1029000
7000
この変化で 音響技師はホールの音響設計を考える必要が出てきました
17:41
they put together. There are so few halls in this world
177
1036000
5000
本当に良い音響の会場は
17:46
that actually have very good acoustics,
178
1041000
4000
世界でも少ないんですよ
17:50
dare I say. But by that I mean where you can absolutely do anything you imagine.
179
1045000
6000
本当に良い会場なら何でもできます
17:56
The tiniest, softest, softest sound to something that is so broad,
180
1051000
5000
とても小さい柔らかい音から 厚みのある
18:01
so huge, so incredible! There's always something --
181
1056000
5000
大きい音まで…素晴らしいです 普通は
18:06
it may sound good up there, may not be so good there.
182
1061000
2000
ここは良くても あっちはイマイチ…
18:08
May be great there, but terrible up there.
183
1063000
2000
あっちは良くても こっちは最悪…
18:10
Maybe terrible over there, but not too bad there, etc., etc.
184
1065000
4000
こっちはヒドくても あっちは…という具合
18:14
So to find an actual hall is incredible
185
1069000
5000
思い通りに弾ける会場に
18:19
-- for which you can play exactly what you imagine,
186
1074000
4000
出合えたら最高です
18:23
without it being cosmetically enhanced.
187
1078000
3000
何も細工のない会場に…
18:26
And so therefore, acousticians are actually in conversation with people who are
188
1081000
7000
聴覚障害者たちや音楽家の意見を
18:33
hearing impaired, and who are participators of sound.
189
1088000
6000
音響技師は取り入れています
18:39
And this is quite interesting.
190
1094000
2000
興味深いですよ
18:41
I cannot, you know, give you any detail as far as what is actually happening
191
1096000
6000
ここでは詳細に触れませんが
18:47
with those halls, but it's just the fact that they are going to a group of people
192
1102000
6000
音響技師たちは意見を聞くんです
18:53
for whom so many years we've been saying,
193
1108000
4000
長年 こう言われてきた人々に
18:57
"Well, how on Earth can they experience music? You know, they're deaf."
194
1112000
3000
"音楽がどう分かるの? 聞こえずに?"
19:00
We just -- we go like that, and we imagine that that's what deafness is about.
195
1115000
4000
聴覚障害に対する固定観念があります
19:04
Or we go like that, and we imagine that's what blindness is about.
196
1119000
2000
視覚障害に対しても
19:06
If we see someone in a wheelchair, we assume they cannot walk.
197
1121000
5000
車椅子に乗っている人は 歩けないと思いがちです
19:11
It may be that they can walk three, four, five steps. That, to them, means they can walk.
198
1126000
7000
でも 数歩でも歩ければ 彼らにとっては歩けるということ
19:18
In a year's time, it could be two extra steps.
199
1133000
4000
一年後にはもう2歩
19:22
In another year's time, three extra steps.
200
1137000
3000
その次の年には もう3歩
19:25
Those are hugely important aspects to think about.
201
1140000
5000
これはとても大事な考え方です
19:30
So when we do listen to each other,
202
1145000
4000
だから 聴く時は
19:34
it's unbelievably important for us to really test our listening skills,
203
1149000
8000
どれだけ聴く力があるか試されます
19:42
to really use our bodies as a resonating chamber, to stop the judgment.
204
1157000
5000
身体全体に反響させて 即断はしない
19:47
For me, as a musician who deals with 99 percent of new music,
205
1162000
4000
私は扱う曲の99%が新曲なので
19:51
it's very easy for me to say, "Oh yes, I like that piece.
206
1166000
3000
簡単に言い切れます "この曲は好き"
19:54
Oh no, I don't like that piece." And so on.
207
1169000
2000
"これは好きじゃない" と…
19:56
And you know, I just find that I have to give those pieces of music real time.
208
1171000
6000
でも こうした曲にも時間をかけるべきだと気付きました
20:02
It may be that the chemistry isn't quite right between myself and that particular piece of music,
209
1177000
5000
曲との相性が良くなかったのかも知れない
20:07
but that doesn't mean I have the right to say it's a bad piece of music.
210
1182000
5000
だからといって悪い作品だと言う権利はない
20:12
And you know, it's just one of the great things about being a musician,
211
1187000
5000
それに 音楽家であることの利点は
20:17
is that it is so unbelievably fluid.
212
1192000
4000
とても自由なことです
20:21
So there are no rules, no right, no wrong, this way, that way.
213
1196000
4000
これが正しいという決まりもない
20:25
If I asked you to clap -- maybe I can do this.
214
1200000
5000
ちょっと… 手を叩いてもらえますか?
20:30
If I can just say, "Please clap and create the sound of thunder."
215
1205000
6000
手を叩いて雷の音を作って下さい
20:36
I'm assuming we've all experienced thunder.
216
1211000
3000
雷は分かりますよね?
20:39
Now, I don't mean just the sound;
217
1214000
2000
音だけじゃありませんよ
20:41
I mean really listen to that thunder within yourselves.
218
1216000
5000
自分の内で雷を聴いて下さい
20:46
And please try to create that through your clapping. Try. Just -- please try.
219
1221000
5000
それを拍手で表すんです さあどうぞ
20:51
(Applause)
220
1226000
7000
(拍手)
20:58
Very good! Snow. Snow. Have you ever heard snow?
221
1233000
10000
いいですね! 今度は雪です… 雪を聞いた事は?
21:08
Audience: No.
222
1243000
1000
(会場 "ないです")
21:09
Evelyn Glennie: Well then, stop clapping. (Laughter) Try again.
223
1244000
6000
じゃあ叩かないで (会場 笑) もう一度…
21:15
Try again. Snow.
224
1250000
6000
もう一度 雪です
21:21
See, you're awake.
225
1256000
2000
ね? 意識したでしょう?
21:23
Rain. Not bad. Not bad.
226
1258000
9000
では雨を… 悪くないですね
21:32
You know, the interesting thing here, though, is that I asked a group of kids
227
1267000
4000
興味深いのは… 子供たちに
21:36
not so long ago exactly the same question.
228
1271000
4000
最近同じ質問をしたんです
21:40
Now -- great imagination, thank you very much.
229
1275000
4000
皆さんも見事でした 有難うございます
21:44
However, not one of you got out of your seats to think,
230
1279000
3000
でも誰も席を立って
21:47
"Right! How can I clap? OK, maybe ... (Claps)
231
1282000
2000
"じゃあ どう叩こう? "と
21:52
Maybe I can use my jewelry to create extra sounds.
232
1287000
3000
アクセサリーを使ったり
21:55
Maybe I can use the other parts of my body to create extra sounds."
233
1290000
4000
体の他の部分を使わなかった
21:59
Not a single one of you thought about clapping in a slightly different way
234
1294000
5000
誰も違う叩き方をしなかったですね
22:04
other than sitting in your seats there and using two hands.
235
1299000
4000
座って両手を使う以外には?
22:08
In the same way that when we listen to music,
236
1303000
2000
音楽を聴く時も
22:10
we assume that it's all being fed through here.
237
1305000
4000
全て耳を通すと思いがちです
22:14
This is how we experience music. Of course it's not.
238
1309000
4000
これが音楽の感じ方だと… 違うんです
22:18
We experience thunder -- thunder, thunder. Think, think, think.
239
1313000
4000
雷を感じる時は… 考えるんです
22:22
Listen, listen, listen. Now -- what can we do with thunder?
240
1317000
7000
聴いて聴いて聴くんです さあどうします?
22:29
I remember my teacher. When I first started, my very first lesson,
241
1324000
5000
私の最初のレッスンはこうでした
22:34
I was all prepared with sticks, ready to go.
242
1329000
4000
スティックを用意し準備万端でした
22:38
And instead of him saying, "OK, Evelyn, please, feet slightly apart,
243
1333000
5000
こうは言われませんでした "両足を開いて"
22:43
arms at a more-or-less 90 degree angle, sticks in a more-or-less V shape,
244
1338000
6000
"腕は約90度 スティックはV字で"
22:49
keep this amount of space here, etc.
245
1344000
3000
"脇を充分開いて"
22:52
Please keep your back straight, etc., etc., etc." --
246
1347000
2000
"背筋も伸ばす" とは…
22:54
where I was probably just going to end up absolutely rigid, frozen,
247
1349000
4000
きっと様々なことを考えてしまい
22:58
and I would not be able to strike the drum,
248
1353000
2000
身体が硬直し
23:00
because I was thinking of so many other things -- he said,
249
1355000
2000
上手く叩けなかったでしょう
23:02
"Evelyn, take this drum away for seven days, and I'll see you next week."
250
1357000
5000
代わりにドラムを一週間持ち帰るよう言われました
23:07
So, heavens! What was I to do? I no longer required the sticks;
251
1362000
5000
"どうしよう? スティックもなしで? "
23:12
I wasn't allowed to have these sticks.
252
1367000
2000
スティックは禁止です
23:14
I had to basically look at this particular drum,
253
1369000
4000
そこで このドラムをじっくり眺め
23:18
see how it was made, what these little lugs did, what the snares did.
254
1373000
5000
つまみやスネアなど 構造を調べました
23:23
Turned it upside down, experimented with the shell, experimented with the head.
255
1378000
7000
裏返したり ドラムの上や周りを叩いたり
23:30
Experimented with my body, experimented with jewelry,
256
1385000
6000
身体もアクセサリーも使いました
23:36
experimented with all sorts of things.
257
1391000
2000
使えるもの全て
23:48
And of course, I returned with all sorts of bruises and things like that --
258
1403000
3000
アザだらけになりましたが
23:51
but nevertheless, it was such an unbelievable experience,
259
1406000
5000
信じ難いほど素晴らしい経験をしました
23:56
because then, where on Earth are you going to experience that in a piece of music?
260
1411000
5000
どうやったら こんな経験が楽譜から得られます?
24:01
Where on Earth are you going to experience that in a study book?
261
1416000
4000
どうやったら教本から得られます?
24:05
So we never, ever dealt with actual study books.
262
1420000
3000
結局 教本は使いませんでした
24:08
So for example, one of the things that we learn
263
1423000
3000
レッスンでは たとえば
24:11
when we are dealing with being a percussion player, as opposed to a musician,
264
1426000
6000
音楽家ではなくプレイヤーになるための基礎として
24:17
is basically straightforward single stroke rolls.
265
1432000
4000
シングルストロークを学ぶものです
24:24
Like that. And then we get a little faster and a little faster and a little faster.
266
1439000
7000
こんな… 少しずつ早くしていきます
24:31
And so on and so forth. What does this piece require?
267
1446000
3000
この曲を弾くには?
24:34
Single stroke rolls. So why can't I then do that whilst learning a piece of music?
268
1449000
8000
…シングルストローク 当時私にこの技術がなかったのは
24:42
And that's exactly what he did.
269
1457000
3000
まさに先生の意図でした
24:45
And interestingly, the older I became, and when I became a full-time student
270
1460000
5000
成長して正規の学生になって
24:50
at a so called "music institution," all of that went out of the window.
271
1465000
6000
いわゆる音大生になると レッスンも変わりました
24:56
We had to study from study books.
272
1471000
2000
教本に沿うようになった
24:58
And constantly, the question, "Well, why? Why? What is this relating to?
273
1473000
4000
いつも疑問でした "何と関係あるの?"
25:02
I need to play a piece of music." "Oh, well, this will help your control!"
274
1477000
4000
"曲を弾きたい" と言うと "そのために必要だ"と
25:06
"Well, how? Why do I need to learn that? I need to relate it to a piece of music.
275
1481000
5000
曲と通い合うのに なぜそれが必要なのか?
25:11
You know. I need to say something.
276
1486000
3000
私は表現したかったのに
25:14
"Why am I practicing paradiddles?
277
1489000
2000
なぜパラディドルの練習?
25:20
Is it just literally for control, for hand-stick control? Why am I doing that?
278
1495000
5000
スティックを操る目的なんて?
25:25
I need to have the reason,
279
1500000
3000
私には意味づけが必要でした
25:28
and the reason has to be by saying something through the music."
280
1503000
5000
それが音楽で語ることに どう関わるのか?
25:33
And by saying something through music, which basically is sound,
281
1508000
5000
音楽を通して語ることによって
25:38
we then can reach all sorts of things to all sorts of people.
282
1513000
5000
あらゆる人に あらゆることを伝えられるんです
25:43
But I don't want to take responsibility of your emotional baggage.
283
1518000
3000
皆さんの内面には立ち入りません
25:46
That's up to you, when you walk through a hall.
284
1521000
2000
個人の問題ですから
25:48
Because that then determines what and how we listen to certain things.
285
1523000
6000
それが個人個人の聴き方を決めるんです
25:54
I may feel sorrowful, or happy, or exhilarated, or angry when I play
286
1529000
6000
演奏する時の私の感情も 様々なものですが
26:00
certain pieces of music, but I'm not necessarily
287
1535000
2000
必ずしも皆さんに
26:02
wanting you to feel exactly the same thing.
288
1537000
4000
同じように感じることは望みません
26:06
So please, the next time you go to a concert,
289
1541000
3000
次回コンサートに行く時は
26:09
just allow your body to open up, allow your body to be this resonating chamber.

奏者と同じ体験ではありませんよ

The performer is in the worst possible position for the actual sound,

奏者は音を聴くのに最悪の場所にいます
26:25
because they're hearing the contact of the stick on the drum,

or the mallet on the bit of wood, or the bow on the string, etc.,

or the breath that's creating the sound from wind and brass.

But yet they're experiencing something so unbelievably pure,

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Evelyn Glennie - MusicianPercussionist and composer Dame Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all of her hearing by age 12. Rather than isolating her, it has given her a unique connection to her music.
Why you should listen
Dame Evelyn Glennie's music challenges the listener to ask where music comes from: Is it more than simply a translation from score to instrument to audience?
The Grammy-winning percussionist and composer became almost completely deaf by the age of 12, but her hearing loss brought her a deeper understanding of and connection to the music she loves. She's the subject of the documentary Touch the Sound, which explores this unconventional and intriguing approach to percussion.
Along with her vibrant solo career, Glennie has collaborated with musicians ranging from classical orchestras to Björk. Her career has taken her to hundreds of concert stages around the world, and she's recorded a dozen albums, winning a Grammy for her recording of Bartók's Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, and another for her 2002 collaboration with Bela Fleck.
Her passion for music and musical literacy brought her to establish, in collaboration with fellow musicians Julian Lloyd Weber and Sir James Galway, the Music Education Consortium, which successfully lobbied for an investment of 332 million pounds in music education and musical resources in Britain.
