Imagining a solo cello concert,
3
434000
3000
如果我請你們想像一場大提琴獨奏會
07:32
one would most likely think of Johann Sebastian Bach
4
437000
3000
大多數人都會想到巴赫的
07:35
unaccompanied cello suites.
5
440000
3000
無伴奏大提琴組曲
07:38
As a child
6
443000
2000
小時候
07:40
studying these eternal masterpieces,
7
445000
3000
我鑽研這些永恆的大師傑作
07:43
Bach's music would intermingle
8
448000
2000
巴赫的音樂總是融會
07:45
with the singing voices of Muslim prayers
9
450000
3000
鄰近阿拉伯村莊的穆斯林頌禱聲
07:48
from the neighboring Arab village
10
453000
2000
傳響以色列的
07:50
of the northern Kibbutz in Israel
11
455000
2000
北吉布茨
07:52
where I grew up.
12
457000
2000
我長大的地方
07:54
Late at night, after hours of practicing,
13
459000
2000
深夜 經過長時間的練習
07:56
I would listen to Janis Joplin and Billie Holiday
14
461000
3000
我會聽珍妮絲•賈普林和比莉·哈樂黛的音樂
07:59
as the sounds of tango music
15
464000
2000
探戈的樂音從
08:01
would be creeping from my parents' stereo.
16
466000
3000
我父母的立體音響蔓延至我的耳中
08:04
It all became music to me.
17
469000
3000
這一切對我來說都是音樂
08:07
I didn't hear the boundaries.
18
472000
3000
我沒有聽見界限
08:10
I still start every day
19
475000
2000
我仍然每天一開始
08:12
practicing playing Bach.
20
477000
2000
便練習演奏巴赫
08:14
His music never ceases
21
479000
2000
他的音樂始終
08:16
to sound fresh and surprising to me.
22
481000
2000
令我感覺新鮮和驚訝
08:18
But as I was moving away
23
483000
2000
但當我逐漸遠離
08:20
from the traditional classical repertoire
24
485000
2000
傳統的經典曲目
08:22
and trying to find new ways
25
487000
2000
並試圖尋找新的方式
08:24
of musical expression,
26
489000
2000
來表達音樂
08:26
I realized that with today's technological resources,
27
491000
3000
我意識到 運用今天的技術資源
08:29
there's no reason to limit
28
494000
2000
我們沒有理由限制
08:31
what can be produced at one time
29
496000
3000
一根樂器弦
08:34
from a single string instrument.
30
499000
2000
的無限可能
08:36
The power and coherency
31
501000
2000
那種力量以及凝聚性
08:38
that comes from one person hearing, perceiving and playing all the voices
32
503000
4000
來自一個人的傾聽、感受和演奏
08:42
makes a very different experience.
33
507000
3000
給人的感受是不同的
08:45
The excitement of a great orchestra performance
34
510000
3000
交響樂團表演之所以讓人興奮
08:48
comes from the attempt to have a collective of musicians
35
513000
3000
是因為一群音樂家嘗試
08:51
producing one unified whole concept.
36
516000
3000
產生唯一 一致的概念
08:54
The excitement from using multi-tracking,
37
519000
3000
多軌重疊的興奮處在於
08:57
the way I did in the piece you will hear next,
38
522000
4000
喔 你們會在我下一段演奏聽到這種呈現
09:01
comes from the attempt
39
526000
2000
它試圖
09:03
to build and create a whole universe
40
528000
3000
建設和創造整個宇宙
09:06
with many diverse layers,
41
531000
3000
擁有許多不同層次的宇宙
09:09
all generated from a single source.
42
534000
3000
而且全都來自同個源頭
09:12
My cello and my voice are layered
43
537000
2000
我的大提琴和我的聲音分層
09:14
to create this large sonic canvas.
44
539000
3000
揮灑出這片巨幅的樂音畫布
09:17
When composers write music for me,
45
542000
3000
當作曲家為我寫音樂
09:20
I ask them to forget what they know about the cello.
46
545000
2000
我要求他們忘記自己對大提琴的了解
09:22
I hope to arrive at new territories
47
547000
3000
我希望能達到全新境界
09:25
to discover sounds I have never heard before.
48
550000
3000
發掘我從沒聽過的樂音
09:28
I want to create endless possibilities
49
553000
2000
我想和我的大提琴
09:30
with this cello.
50
555000
2000
創發無限可能
09:32
I become the medium through which the music is being channeled,
51
557000
3000
我要成為發送音樂的媒介
09:35
and in the process, when all is right,
52
560000
3000
而在過程中 當什麼都對了的時候
09:38
the music is transformed
53
563000
2000
音樂便會蛻變
09:40
and so am I.
54
565000
2000
我也是
