I wanted to be a rock star.

0
2000
Es gribēju būt rokzvaigzne.
00:17
I dreamed of it, and that's all I dreamed of.
1
2000
3000
Es par to sapņoju, tas bija vienīgais, par ko es biju sapņojis,
00:20
To be more accurate, I wanted to be a pop star.
2
5000
2000
Precīzāk, es gribēju būt popzvaigzne.
00:22
This was in the late '80s.
3
7000
2000
Tas bija 80. gadu beigās.
00:24
And mostly I wanted to be the fifth member
4
9000
2000
Un visvairāk es gribēju būt Depeche Mode
00:26
of Depeche Mode or Duran Duran.
5
11000
2000
vai Duran Duran piektais biedrs.
00:28
They wouldn't have me.
6
13000
2000
Viņiem mani nevajadzēja.
00:30
I didn't read music, but I played synthesizers and drum machines.
7
15000
3000
Es nemācēju lasīt notis, bet es spēlēju sintezatoru un bungu mašīnas.
00:33
And I grew up in this little farming town in northern Nevada.
8
18000
3000
Un es uzaugu šajā mazajā fermeru pilsētiņā, Nevadas ziemeļos.
00:36
And I was certain that's what my life would be.
9
21000
2000
Un es biju drošs, ka tāda būs arī mana dzīve.
00:38
And when I went to college at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas
10
23000
2000
Un, kad es 18 gadu vecumā devos uz Nevadas Universitāti,
00:40
when I was 18,
11
25000
2000
Lasvegasā
00:42
I was stunned to find
12
27000
2000
es bija satriekts, uzzinot,
00:44
that there was not a Pop Star 101,
13
29000
3000
ka tur nebija nekādi popzvaigznes kursi
00:47
or even a degree program for that interest.
14
32000
3000
vai pat attiecīgas jomas diploma programma.
00:50
And the choir conductor there
15
35000
2000
Un turienes kora diriģents zināja,
00:52
knew that I sang
16
37000
2000
ka es dziedu
00:54
and invited me to come and join the choir.
17
39000
2000
un uzaicināja mani pievienoties korim.
00:56
And I said, "Yes, I would love to do that. It sounds great."
18
41000
3000
Un es atbildēju "Jā, labprāt. Izklausās labi"
00:59
And I left the room and said, "No way."
19
44000
3000
Un es izgāju no istabas un noteicu, "Nekādā gadījumā."
01:03
The choir people in my high school were pretty geeky,
20
48000
3000
Koristi manā vidusskolā bija diezgan nūģīgi,
01:06
and there was no way I was going to have anything to do with those people.
21
51000
3000
un es nekādā gadījumā negribēju ielaisties ar šiem cilvēkiem.
01:09
And about a week later, a friend of mine came to me and said,
22
54000
2000
Un pēc apmēram nedēļas mans draugs pie manis atnāca un teica,
01:11
"Listen, you've got to join choir.
23
56000
2000
"Zini, tev ir jāpievienojas korim
01:13
At the end of the semester, we're taking a trip to Mexico,
24
58000
2000
Semestra beigās mēs dosimies uz Meksiku,
01:15
all expenses paid.
25
60000
2000
visi izdevumi tiks apmaksāti.
01:17
And the soprano section is just full of hot girls."
26
62000
3000
Soprānu nodaļa ir pilna ar smukām meitenēm."
01:21
And so I figured for Mexico and babes,
27
66000
2000
Un tā es izlēmu, ka Meksikas un meiču dēļ
01:23
I could do just about anything.
28
68000
3000
es biju gatavs uz praktiski jebko.
01:26
And I went to my first day in choir,
29
71000
2000
Un es pirmo dienu aizgāju uz kori
01:28
and I sat down with the basses
30
73000
2000
un apsēdos pie pārējiem basiem
01:30
and sort of looked over my shoulder
31
75000
2000
un palūkojos pāri savam plecam,
01:32
to see what they were doing.
32
77000
2000
lai redzētu ko viņi darīja.
01:34
They opened their scores, the conductor gave the downbeat,
33
79000
2000
Viņi atvēra savas partitūras, diriģents sāka diriģēt,
01:36
and boom, they launched into the Kyrie
34
81000
3000
un bum, viņi sāka dziedāt "Kyrie"
01:39
from the "Requiem" by Mozart.
35
84000
2000
no Mocarta "Rekviēma".
01:41
In my entire life I had seen in black and white,
36
86000
3000
Visu savu dzīvi es biju redzējis tikai melnā vai baltā
01:44
and suddenly everything was in shocking Technicolor.
37
89000
4000
un pēkšņi viss bija šokējoši krāsains.
01:48
The most transformative experience I've ever had --
38
93000
3000
Mana mūža pārveidojošākā pieredze --
01:51
in that single moment, hearing dissonance and harmony
39
96000
3000
tajā vienā mirklī, dzirdot nesaskaņu un harmoniju
01:54
and people singing, people together,
40
99000
3000
un cilvēkus dziedam, cilvēkus kopā,
01:57
the shared vision.
41
102000
2000
kopīgo vīziju.
01:59
And I felt for the first time in my life
42
104000
2000
Un pirmo reizi savā mūžā es jutos
02:01
that I was part of something bigger than myself.
43
106000
2000
kā kaut kā, kas ir lielāks par mani, daļa.
02:03
And there were a lot of cute girls in the soprano section, as it turns out.
44
108000
4000
Un, kā izrādījās, pie soprāniem patiešām bija daudz smukas meitenes.
02:07
I decided to write a piece for choir
45
112000
3000
Pēc pāris gadiem es nolēmu uzrakstīt
02:10
a couple of years later
46
115000
2000
kora skaņdarbu
02:12
as a gift to this conductor
47
117000
2000
kā dāvanu diriģentam,
02:14
who had changed my life.
48
119000
2000
kurš bija mainījis manu dzīvi.
02:16
I had learned to read music by then, or slowly learning to read music.
49
121000
3000
Tajā laikā es jau biju iemācījies lasīt notis, vai vismaz to palēnām sācis.
02:19
And that piece was published,
50
124000
2000
Un šis skaņdarbs tika publicēts,
02:21
and then I wrote another piece, and that got published.
51
126000
2000
un tad es sakomponēju vēl vienu un tas arī tika publicēts.
02:23
And then I started conducting,
52
128000
2000
Un tad es sāku komponēt,
02:25
and I ended up doing my master's degree at the Juilliard School.
53
130000
2000
un beigu beigās Džuliarda skolā es ieguvu arī savu maģistra grādu.
02:27
And I find myself now in the unlikely position
54
132000
2000
Un tagad es atrodos neparastā pozīcijā,
02:29
of standing in front of all of you
55
134000
2000
stāvot jums priekšā kā
02:31
as a professional classical composer and conductor.
56
136000
4000
klasiskās mūzikas diriģēšanas un komponēšanas profesors.
02:35
Well a couple of years ago,
57
140000
2000
Pirms pāris gadiem
02:37
a friend of mine emailed me
58
142000
2000
kāds draugs man atsūtīja e-pastu ar
02:39
a link, a YouTube link,
59
144000
2000
saiti, YouTube saiti
02:41
and said, "You have got to see this."
60
146000
2000
un viņš teica: "Tev tas ir jāredz."
02:43
And it was this young woman who had posted a fan video to me,
61
148000
3000
Un tur bija šī jaunā sieviete, kura bija ielikusi fanu video,
02:46
singing the soprano line
62
151000
2000
kurā viņa dziedāja mana
02:48
to a piece of mine called "Sleep."
63
153000
2000
skaņdarba "Sleep" soprāna līniju.
02:50
(Video) Britlin Losee: Hi Mr. Eric Whitacre.
64
155000
3000
(Video) Britlina Losē: Sveiki, Ērika Vitakres kungs
02:53
My name is Britlin Losee,
65
158000
2000
Mani sauc Britlina Losē,
02:55
and this is a video
66
160000
2000
un šis ir video,
02:57
that I'd like to make for you.
67
162000
2000
ko es vēlējos izveidot priekš jums.
02:59
Here's me singing "Sleep."
68
164000
3000
Es dziedāšu "Sleep."
03:05
I'm a little nervous, just to let you know.
69
170000
2000
Es esmu nedaudz uztraukusies.
03:10
♫ If there are noises ♫
70
175000
9000
♫ Ja nakts melnumā ♫
03:19
♫ in the night ♫
71
184000
6000
♫ ir trokšņi ♫
03:25
Eric Whitacre: I was thunderstruck.
72
190000
2000
Ēriks Vitakre: Es biju satriekts.
03:27
Britlin was so innocent and so sweet,
73
192000
3000
Britlina bija tik nevainīga un tik jauka
03:30
and her voice was so pure.
74
195000
2000
un viņas balss bija tik dzidra.
03:32
And I even loved seeing behind her;
75
197000
2000
Un man pat patika skatīties uz to, kas bija aiz viņas.
03:34
I could see the little teddy bear sitting on the piano behind her in her room.
76
199000
3000
Aiz viņas es varēju redzēt uz klavierēm sēžam mazu lācīti.
03:37
Such an intimate video.
77
202000
2000
Tik intīms video.
03:39
And I had this idea: if I could get 50 people
78
204000
2000
Un man radās šī ideja: ja es varētu piedabūt 50 cilvēkus,
03:41
to all do this same thing,
79
206000
2000
lai viņi visi dara vienu un to pašu,
03:43
sing their parts -- soprano, alto, tenor and bass --
80
208000
2000
dzied savas daļas -- soprānu, altu, tenoru un basu --
03:45
wherever they were in the world, post their videos to YouTube,
81
210000
3000
vienalga, kur pasaulē viņi atrodas, ieliek savus video YouTube,
03:48
we could cut it all together and create a virtual choir.
82
213000
3000
mēs varētu salikt to visu kopā un izveidot virtuālu kori.
03:51
So I wrote on my blog, "OMG OMG."
83
216000
3000
Tā es rakstīju savā blogā,"Ak dievs, ak dievs"
03:54
I actually wrote, "OMG,"
84
219000
2000
Es patiešām rakstīju, "Ak dievs",
03:56
hopefully for the last time in public ever.
85
221000
3000
cerams, ka pēdējo reizi publiski.
03:59
(Laughter)
86
224000
2000
(Smiekli)
04:01
And I sent out this call to singers.
87
226000
2000
Un es to paziņoju dziedātājiem.
04:03
And I made free the download of the music
88
228000
3000
Un ļāvu par brīvu lejupielādēt mūziku
04:06
to a piece that I had written in the year 2000
89
231000
2000
skaņdarbam, kuru es biju sarakstījis 2000. gadā,
04:08
called "Lux Aurumque," which means "light and gold."
90
233000
3000
ko sauca "Lux Aurumque", kas nozīmē "gaisma un zelts".
04:11
And lo and behold, people started uploading their videos.
91
236000
3000
Un pēkšņi ne no kurienes, cilvēki sāki pievienot savus video.
04:14
Now I should say, before that,
92
239000
2000
Taču pirms tam tas,
04:16
what I did is I posted a conductor track
93
241000
2000
ko es izdarīju bija video publicēšana, kur
04:18
of myself conducting.
94
243000
2000
es diriģēju.
04:20
And it's in complete silence when I filmed it,
95
245000
3000
Un filmējot fonā bija pilnīgs klusums,
04:23
because I was only hearing the music in my head,
96
248000
2000
jo mūzika bija dzirdama vienīgi manā galvā,
04:25
imagining the choir that would one day come to be.
97
250000
3000
iedomājoties kori, kas vienudien "sanāktu kopā".
04:28
Afterwards, I played a piano track underneath
98
253000
2000
Pēc tam es fonā ierakstīju klavieres,
04:30
so that the singers would have something to listen to.
99
255000
3000
lai dziedātājiem dziedot būtu ko klausīties.
04:33
And then as the videos started to come in ...
100
258000
3000
Un tad cilvēki sāka iesūtīt savus video ...
04:38
(Singing)
101
263000
4000
(Dzied)
04:42
This is Cheryl Ang from Singapore.
102
267000
3000
Šī ir Čerila Anga no Singapūras.
04:46
(Singing)
103
271000
5000
(Dzied)
04:51
This is Evangelina Etienne
104
276000
2000
Šī Evangelīna Etjēna.
04:53
(Singing)
105
278000
7000
(Dzied)
05:00
from Massachusetts.
106
285000
3000
no Masačūsetsas.
05:03
(Singing)
107
288000
2000
(Dzied)
05:05
Stephen Hanson from Sweden.
108
290000
2000
Stefens Hansons no Zviedrijas.
05:07
(Singing)
109
292000
2000
(Dzied)
05:09
This is Jamal Walker from Dallas, Texas.
110
294000
3000
Šis ir Džamals Vokers no Dalasas, Teksasas,
05:12
(Singing)
111
297000
8000
(Dzied)
05:20
There was even a little soprano solo in the piece,
112
305000
2000
Skaņdarbā bija pat mazs soprāna solo gabaliņš,
05:22
and so I had auditions.
113
307000
2000
kuram es rīkoju noklausīšanos.
05:24
And a number of sopranos uploaded their parts.
114
309000
2000
Un pamatīgs skaits soprānu augšupielādēja savus video.
05:26
I was told later,
115
311000
2000
Vēlāk no
05:28
and also by lots of singers who were involved in this,
116
313000
2000
daudziem iesaistītajiem dziedātājiem es uzzināju, ka
05:30
that they sometimes recorded 50 or 60 different takes
117
315000
3000
dažreiz viņi bija spiesti ierakstīt pat 50 vai 60 reizes
05:33
until they got just the right take -- they uploaded it.
118
318000
3000
kamēr viņi nodziedāja tieši tā, kā vajag, un to arī viņi pieteica.
05:36
Here's our winner of the soprano solo.
119
321000
2000
Šeit ir mūsu soprānu konkursa uzvarētāja.
05:38
This is Melody Myers from Tennessee.
120
323000
3000
Šī ir Melodija Maiersa no Tenesī.
05:43
(Singing)
121
328000
15000
(Dzied)
05:58
I love the little smile she does right over the top of the note --
122
343000
3000
Man patīk viņas mazais smaids katras nots beigās --
06:01
like, "No problem, everything's fine."
123
346000
2000
kā, "Nekādu problēmu, viss ir kārtībā".
06:03
(Laughter)
124
348000
2000
(Smiekli)
06:05
And from the crowd
125
350000
2000
Un no cilvēku pūļa
06:07
emerged this young man, Scott Haines.
126
352000
2000
iznira šis jaunais vīrs, Skots Heinzs.
06:09
And he said, "Listen, this is the project
127
354000
2000
Un viņš teica "Klau, šis ir projekts, kuru
06:11
I've been looking for my whole life.
128
356000
2000
es esmu meklējis visu savu dzīvi.
06:13
I'd like to be the person to edit this all together."
129
358000
2000
Es gribētu būt tas cilvēks, kurš visu saliek kopā."
06:15
I said, "Thank you, Scott. I'm so glad that you found me."
130
360000
3000
Es atbildēju "Paldies tev, Skot, man prieks, ka tu mani atradi."
06:18
And Scott aggregated all of the videos.
131
363000
2000
Un Skots sakopoja visus šos video.
06:20
He scrubbed the audio.
132
365000
2000
Viņš noskribināja audio.
06:22
He made sure that everything lined up.
133
367000
2000
Viņš pārliecinājās, ka viss ir salikts kā vajag.
06:24
And then we posted this video to YouTube about a year and a half ago.
134
369000
3000
Un tad mēs pirms apmēram pusotra gada ielikām šo video YouTube.
06:27
This is "Lux Aurumque" sung by the Virtual Choir.
135
372000
2000
Šis ir "Lux Aurumque" Virtuālā kora izpildījumā
06:29
(Singing)
136
374000
10000
(Dzied)
07:49
I'll stop it there in the interest of time.
137
454000
3000
Te mēs arī apstāsimies, lai ietaupītu laiku.
07:52
(Applause)
138
457000
4000
(Aplausi)
07:56
Thank you. Thank you.
139
461000
4000
Paldies. Paldies.
08:00
(Applause)
140
465000
8000
(Aplausi)
08:08
Thank you.
141
473000
2000
Paldies.
08:10
So there's more. There's more.
142
475000
3000
Ir vēl. Ir vēl.
08:13
Thank you so much.
143
478000
2000
Liels jums paldies.
08:15
And I had the same reaction you did.
144
480000
2000
Man bija tāda pati reakcija kā jums.
08:17
I actually was moved to tears when I first saw it.
145
482000
2000
Patiesībā pirmo reizi to redzot, man acīs sariesās asaras.
08:19
I just couldn't believe the poetry of all of it --
146
484000
3000
Es vienkārši nespēju noticēt tā visa dzejiskumā --
08:22
these souls all on their own desert island,
147
487000
4000
šīs dvēseles, katra uz savas tuksnešainās salas
08:26
sending electronic messages in bottles to each other.
148
491000
3000
viena otrai sūta elektroniskās ziņas pudelēs.
08:29
And the video went viral.
149
494000
2000
Un video kļuva virāls.
08:31
We had a million hits in the first month
150
496000
2000
Pirmajā mēnesī to noskatījās miljons cilvēku
08:33
and got a lot of attention for it.
151
498000
2000
un tas guva lielu ievērību.
08:35
And because of that, then a lot of singers started saying,
152
500000
2000
Un tādēļ, tad liela daļa dziedātāju sāka vaicāt,
08:37
"All right, what's Virtual Choir 2.0?"
153
502000
2000
"Labi, kad būs Virtuālais koris 2,0?"
08:39
And so I decided for Virtual Choir 2.0
154
504000
2000
Un tāpēc es nolēmu izveidot Virtuālo kori 2,0,
08:41
that I would choose the same piece that Britlin was singing,
155
506000
3000
kuram es izvēlējos Britlinas iepriekš dziedāto skaņdarbu,
08:44
"Sleep," which is another work
156
509000
2000
"Sleep", kas ir vēl viens skaņdarbs,
08:46
that I wrote in the year 2000 --
157
511000
2000
ko es sarakstīju 2000. gadā --
08:48
poetry by my dear friend Charles Anthony Silvestri.
158
513000
2000
dzejas autors ir mans dārgais draugs Čārlzs Entonijs Silvestri.
08:50
And again, I posted a conductor video,
159
515000
2000
Un arī šoreiz es publicēju video, kur es diriģēju,
08:52
and we started accepting submissions.
160
517000
3000
un mēs sākām pieņemt pieteikumus.
08:55
This time we got some more mature members.
161
520000
3000
Šoreiz pieteicās nobriedušāki cilvēki.
08:58
(Singing)
162
523000
10000
(Dzied)
09:08
And some younger members.
163
533000
3000
Un arī daži jaunāki biedri.
09:11
(Video) Soprano: ♫ Upon my pillow ♫
164

(Video) Soprāns: ♫ Uz spilvena, ♫
09:16
♫ Safe in bed ♫
165
541000

♫ Gultas siltumā ♫
09:20
EW: That's Georgie from England. She's only nine.
166
545000
3000
ĒV: Tā ir Džordžija no Anglijas. Viņa ir tikai deviņus gadus veca.
09:23
Isn't that the sweetest thing you've ever seen?
167
548000
3000
Vai viņa nav lielākais jaukumiņš, kādu esat redzējuši?
09:26
Someone did all eight videos --
168
551000
2000
Kāds pat ielika visus astoņus video,
09:28
a bass even singing the soprano parts.
169
553000
2000
kur bass pat dziedāja soprāna partiju.
09:30
This is Beau Awtin.
170
555000
2000
Šī ir Bo Otvina.
09:32
(Video) Beau Awtin: ♫ Safe in bed ♫
171

(Video) Bo Otvins: ♫ Gultas siltumā ♫
09:39
EW: And our goal -- it was sort of an arbitrary goal --
172
564000
3000
EV: Un mūsu mērķis -- tas bija diezgan pamatīgs --
09:42
there was an MTV video where they all sang "Lollipop"
173
567000
2000
MTV bija tāds video, kur visi dziedāja "Lollipop"
09:44
and they got people from all over the world to just sing that little melody.
174
569000
3000
un viņi panāca, ka cilvēki no visas pasaules dziedāja šo mazo melodiju.
09:47
And there were 900 people involved in that.
175
572000
2000
Un tajā piedalījās 900 cilvēku.
09:49
So I told the singers, "That's our goal.
176
574000
2000
Tāpēc es teicu dziedātājiem, "Šis ir mūsu mērķis.
09:51
That's the number for us to beat."
177
576000
2000
Šis skaitlis mums ir jāpārspēj."
09:53
And we just closed submissions January 10th,
178
578000
3000
Un mēs nupat, 10. janvārī, beidzām pieņemt pieteikumus
09:56
and our final tally was 2,051 videos
179
581000
3000
un mūsu kopējais dalībnieku iesūtītais video skaits bija 2,051
09:59
from 58 different countries.
180
584000
2000
pavisam no 58 dažādām valstīm.
10:01
Thank you.
181
586000
2000
Paldies.
10:03
(Applause)
182
588000
3000
(Aplausi)
10:06
From Malta, Madagascar, Thailand, Vietnam,
183
591000
3000
No Maltas, Madagaskāras, Taizemes, Vjetnamas,
10:09
Jordan, Egypt, Israel,
184
594000
3000
Jordānijas, Ēģiptes, Izraēlas,
10:12
as far north as Alaska and as far south as New Zealand.
185
597000
3000
no tik tāliem ziemeļiem kā Aļaska līdz pat tik tālu uz dienvidiem kā Jaunzēlande.
10:15
And we also put a page on Facebook
186
600000
4000
Un mēs arī izveidojām lapu Facebook,
10:19
for the singers to upload their testimonials,
187
604000
3000
kur dziedātājiem dalīties ar savu pieredzi,
10:22
what it was like for them, their experience singing it.
188
607000
3000
kā tas viņiem bija, viņi piedzīvotais, dziedot šo skaņdarbu.
10:25
And I've just chosen a few of them here.
189
610000
2000
Un es no visiem esmu izvēlējies dažus.
10:27
"My sister and I used to sing in choirs together constantly.
190
612000
2000
"Agrāk mēs ar māsu visu laiku kopā dziedājām koros.
10:29
Now she's an airman in the air force constantly traveling.
191
614000
3000
Tagad viņa ir lidotāja gaisa spēkos un nepārtraukti ceļo.
10:32
It's so wonderful to sing together again!"
192
617000
3000
Ir tik brīnišķīgi atkal dziedāt kopā!"
10:35
I love the idea that she's singing with her sister.
193
620000
2000
Man patīk šī doma, ka viņa dzied kopā ar māsu.
10:37
"Aside from the beautiful music,
194
622000
2000
"Izņemot skaisto mūziku,
10:39
it's great just to know I'm part of a worldwide community of people I never met before,
195
624000
3000
ir lieliski apzināties, ka tu esi vispasaules kopienas daļa ar cilvēkiem, kurus tu nepazīsti,
10:42
but who are connected anyway."
196
627000
2000
taču šā vai tā esi saistīta."
10:44
And my personal favorite,
197
629000
2000
Un mana personīgi mīļākā,
10:46
"When I told my husband that I was going to be a part of this,
198
631000
2000
"Kad es pateicu savam vīram, ka piedalīšos,
10:48
he told me that I did not have the voice for it."
199
633000
2000
viņš man pateica, ka man tam nav piemērota balss".
10:50
Yeah, I'm sure a lot of you have heard that too.
200
635000
2000
Jā, droši vien daudzi no jums ir dzirdējuši ko tādu.
10:52
Me too.
201
637000
2000
Es arī.
10:54
"It hurt so much, and I shed some tears,
202
639000
2000
"Tas bija sāpīgi un es nobirdināju asaras,
10:56
but something inside of me wanted to do this despite his words.
203
641000
3000
bet kaut kas manī gribēja to darīt tāpat, par spīti viņa vārdiem.
10:59
It is a dream come true to be part of this choir,
204
644000
3000
Būt daļai šī kora ir kā sapņa piepildījums,
11:02
as I've never been part of one.
205
647000
2000
jo kā tādā es iesaistos pirmo reizi dzīvē.
11:04
When I placed a marker on the Google Earth Map,
206
649000
2000
Kad es uz Google Earth Map atliku marķeri,
11:06
I had to go with the nearest city, which is about 400 miles away from where I live.
207
651000
3000
man bija jādodas uz tuvāko pilsētu, kas atrodas apmēram 400 jūdzes no vietas, kur es dzīvoju.
11:09
As I am in the Great Alaskan Bush,
208
654000
2000
Jo es dzīvoju Great Alaskan Bush,
11:11
satellite is my connection to the world."
209
656000
3000
pavadonis ir vienīgais, kas mani saista ar šo pasauli".
11:14
So two things struck me deeply about this.
210
659000
3000
Divas lietas mani dziļi aizkustināja.
11:17
The first is that human beings
211
662000
2000
Pirmkārt, cilvēks mēros
11:19
will go to any lengths necessary
212
664000
2000
jebkādu nepieciešamo attālumu,
11:21
to find and connect with each other.
213
666000
3000
lai tikai savā starpā saistītos.
11:24
It doesn't matter the technology.
214
669000
2000
Tehnoloģijai nav nozīmes.
11:26
And the second is
215
671000
2000
Un otrkārt,
11:28
that people seem to be experiencing an actual connection.
216
673000
3000
ka cilvēki patiešām izjūt patiesu saikni.
11:31
It wasn't a virtual choir.
217
676000
3000
Tas nebija virtuālais koris.
11:34
There are people now online that are friends; they've never met.
218
679000
3000
Daži cilvēki ir satikušies tiešsaistē un nu ir draugi; lai gan dzīvē nekad nav tikušies.
11:37
But, I know myself too, I feel
219
682000
2000
Bet arī es, es jūtu
11:39
this virtual esprit de corps, if you will, with all of them.
220
684000
3000
šo virtuālo esprit de corps, ar ikkatru no viņiem.
11:42
I feel a closeness to this choir --
221
687000
2000
Es jūtu tuvību ar šo kori --
11:44
almost like a family.
222
689000
3000
gandrīz kā ģimeni.
11:47
What I'd like to close with then today
223
692000
2000
Tas, ar ko es šodien gribētu beigt, ir
11:49
is the first look
224
694000
2000
"Sleep" pirmatskaņojums
11:51
at "Sleep" by Virtual Choir 2.0.
225
696000
2000
Virtuālā kora 2.0 izpildījumā
11:53
This will be a premiere today.
226
698000
2000
Šodien ir video pirmizrāde.
11:55
We're not finished with the video yet.
227
700000
2000
Tas vēl nav pilnībā pabeigts.
11:57
You can imagine, with 2,000 synchronized YouTube videos,
228
702000
3000
Jūs variet iedomāties ar 2,000 sinhronizētiem YouTube video
12:00
the render time is just atrocious.
229
705000
3000
atskaņošanas laiks ir vienkārši zvērīgs.
12:03
But we do have the first three minutes.
230
708000
2000
Bet mums ir gatavas pirmās trīs minūtes.
12:05
And it's a tremendous honor
231
710000
2000
Un šis man ir ārkārtīgi liels gods
12:07
for me to be able to show it to you here first.
232
712000
3000
spēt jums, kas atrodas šeit, parādīt to pirmajiem.
12:10
You're the very first people to see this.
233
715000
2000
Jūs esat pirmie cilvēki, kas to redzēs.
12:12
This is "Sleep," the Virtual Choir.
234
717000
3000
Šis ir "Sleep" Virtuālā kora izpildījumā.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Eric Whitacre - Composer, conductorAfter creating and conducting a worldwide virtual choir on YouTube, Eric Whitacre is now touring with an astonishing live choir.
Why you should listen
Eric Whitacre began his music career singing in his college choir; by 21, he had written his first concert work, Go, Lovely Rose, and advanced to Juilliard, where he studied under John Corigliano. Today, he has published more than four dozen choral works, conducted in some of the most esteemed halls in the world, and featured on dozens of recordings. His album Cloudburst and Other Choral Works earned him a Grammy nomination in 2007, as did his Decca debut Light & Gold, while his new album, Water Night, debuted at #1 in US iTunes classical charts.
You may know him, too, as the creator and conductor of the virtual choir, a network of YouTube-connected singers whose voices blend together online to become true magic. And he's now touring with the Eric Whitacre Signers, a 28-voice choir (yes, they're all in the same room).
