Kompozitor i dirigent Erik Vitaker je inspirisao milione stvaranjem "virtualnih horova", gde su izvođači iz različitih zemalja spojeni na videu. Sada po prvi put stvara iskustvo u realnom vremenu i 32 pevača iz celog sveta se preko Skajpa pridružuju horu na sceni (koji je sastavljen od tri lokalna koledža), u epskom izvođenju Vitakerovog "Proloma oblaka", koji je zasnovan na pesmi Oktavija Paza.

00:18
I was in the third year of my seven-year undergraduate degree.

Bio sam na trećoj od sedam

00:23
I took a couple victory laps in there.

2191
Par puta sam utvrđivao gradivo.
00:25
And I was on a college choir tour up in Northern California,

13605

Bio sam na putovanju hora koledža
u severnoj Kaliforniji
u severnoj Kaliforniji
00:29
and we had stopped for the day after all day on the bus,
6
17827
2657
i stali smo za taj dan
nakon celodnevnog putovanja
nakon celodnevnog putovanja
00:32
and we were relaxing next to this beautiful
7
20484
2066
i opuštali smo se pored jednog prelepog
00:34
idyllic lake in the mountains.
8

2189
idiličnog jezera u planinama.
00:36
And there were crickets and birds and frogs making noise,
9
24739
4396
I čuli su se cvrčci i ptice i žabe,
00:41
and as we sat there, over the mountains coming in
10
29135
2716
i dok smo sedeli tamo,
preko planina su sa severa
preko planina su sa severa
00:43
from the north were these Steven Spielbergian clouds
11
31851
2968
dolazili oblaci kao iz filma Stivena Spilberga
00:46
rolling toward us,
12
34819
1473
valjali su se prema nama,
00:48
and as the clouds got about halfway over the valley,
13
36292
2647
i kad su bili na pola puta preko doline,
00:50
so help me God, every single animal in that place
14
38939
4398
tako mi boga, sve i jedna životinja tamo
00:55
stopped making noise at the same time.
15
43337
2216
prestala je da proizvodi zvuke
u istom trenutku.
u istom trenutku.
00:57
(Whoosh) This electric hush, as if they could sense what was about to happen.
16
45553
5084
Električni šum, kao da su osetili
šta će se dogoditi.
šta će se dogoditi.
01:02
And then the clouds came over us, and then,
17
50637
2060
Onda su nas nadvili oblaci,
01:04
boom! This massive thunderclap, and sheets of rain.
18
52697
4310
i BUM! Masivni prasak groma i naleti kiše.
01:09
It was just extraordinary, and when I came back home
19
57007
3462
Bilo je neverovatno,
i kada sam se vratio kući
i kada sam se vratio kući
01:12
I found a poem by the Mexican poet Octavio Paz,
20
60469
3003
našao sam pesmu meksičkog pesnika
Oktavija Paza
Oktavija Paza
01:15
and decided to set it to music,
21
63472
2501
i odlučio da je uparim sa muzikom,
01:17
a piece for choir called "Cloudburst,"
22
65973

za horski komad pod nazivom
"Prolom oblaka"
"Prolom oblaka"

01:23
Now fast forward to just three years ago.

And when I was speaking to Chris about the future

Kada sam s Krisom
pričao o budućnosti
pričao o budućnosti
02:21
of Virtual Choir and where we might be able to take this,

sve ovo možemo povesti,

02:24
he challenged me to push the technology as far as we possibly could.
41
132093

izazvao me je da poguram tehnologiju
što više mogu.
što više mogu.
02:28
Could we do this all in real time?
42
136854
2503
Možemo li uraditi sve ovo
u realnom vremenu?
u realnom vremenu?
02:31
Could we have people singing together in real time?
43
139357
3040
Mogu li ljudi zajedno pevati
u realnom vremenu?
u realnom vremenu?
02:34
And with the help of Skype,
44
142397
1595
Uz pomoć Skajpa,
02:35
that is what we are going to attempt today.
45
143992
2104
to ćemo danas i pokušati.
02:38
Now, we'll perform "Cloudburst" for you.
46
146096
2173
Za vas ćemo izvesti "Prolom oblaka".
02:40
The first half will be performed by the live singers here on stage.
47
148269

Prvu polovinu će izvesti
izvođači na ovoj sceni.

02:43

02:52
(Applause) --
51
160565
7038
(Aplauz) -
02:59
and in the second half of the piece,
52
167603
2186
a u drugom delu komada,
03:01
the virtual choir will join us, 30 different singers
53
169789
2822
pridružiće nam se virtualni hor,
30 različitih izvođača
30 različitih izvođača
03:04
from 30 different countries.
54
172611
2050
iz 30 različitih zemalja.
03:06
Now, we've pushed the technology as far as it can go,
55
174661
2584
Dogurali smo tehnologiju do granica,
03:09
but there's still less than a second of latency,
56
177245
2832
ali opet postoji kašnjenje
manje od sekunde.
manje od sekunde.
03:12
but in musical terms, that's a lifetime.
57
180077
2079
U svetu muzike, to je čitava večnost.
03:14
We deal in milliseconds.
58
182156
1452
Mi se bavimo milisekundama.
03:15
So what I've done is, I've adapted "Cloudburst"
59
183608
2467
Tako da sam prilagodio "Prolom oblaka"
03:18
so that it embraces the latency
60
186075
2503
da prihvati kašnjenje
03:20
and the performers sing into the latency
61
188578
2905
i izvođači pevaju s kašnjenjem
03:23
instead of trying to be exactly together.
62
191483
2498
umesto da pevaju baš zajedno.
03:25
So with deep humility, and for your approval,
63
193981
3264
Sa dubokom poniznošću
i vašim pristankom,
i vašim pristankom,
03:29
we present "Cloudburst."
64
197245
2112
predstvaljamo vam "Prolom oblaka".

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).
