ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Tom Thum - Beatboxer
Hip-hop musician Tom Thum whirls together beatboxing, performance and an array of mouthsounds.

Why you should listen

Coming out of the small Brisbane, Australia, hip-hop scene, Tom Thum has become a world presence with his unhuman beatboxing sound. In 2005, he and Joel Turner won the team battle in the World Beatbox Championships, and Thum came second at the Scribble Jam Beatbox Battles, America’s most prestigious hip-hop competition, in 2006. He's a cast member in the hip-hop/circus performance troupe Tom Tom Crew, appearing on Broadway and London's West End.

Thum is also committed to teaching hip-hop, and travels throughout Australia sharing the positive message that music preaches.

Matthew Broadhurst - Ear, nose and throat surgeon
Matthew Broadhurst is an ear, nose and throat surgeon based in Brisbane, Australia.

Why you should listen

Matthew Broadhurst is Australia's first fellowship-trained laryngeal surgeon practicing in laryngology and voice restoration. His practice primarily involves management of voice and throat disorders and sleep-disordered breathing, including snoring and sleep apnea.

Broadhurst has a unique ability to provide assessment and management strategies for patients with voice disorders -- including hoarseness, vocal cord paralysis, throat cancer and more -- that are beyond the scope of general ear, nose and throat surgeons. He worked under the direct instruction of Steven Zeitels, a world leader and innovator in laryngeal surgery and voice restoration who was recently acknowledged at the Grammy's as the surgeon who restored the multi-platinum, award-winning artist Adele.

In Brisbane, Broadhurst performs groundbreaking specialized laryngeal surgical techniques using both 4K ultra-high definition microscopy and full high-definition video stroboscopy. He completed his Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery at Flinders University in 1996, and subsequently obtained his Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery in 2005.

01:18
First, for those unfamiliar陌生
with what I do,
19
66440
3976
首先,如果你不清楚我是做什麼的,
01:22
I guess猜測 if you distilled蒸餾 it
right down to its essence本質,
20
70440
3496
我想,如果你要歸根究柢的答案,
01:25
you would call me a beatboxer的beatboxer.
21
73960
1896
那你可以說我是節奏口技表演者。
01:27
(Beatboxing口技) Yo, for example ...

3336
(節奏口技聲)比如……
01:31

02:04
And being存在 a beatboxer的beatboxer,
30
112440
1736
身為節奏口技表演者,
02:06
it means手段 that professionally專業,
31
114200
1536
就表示職業上來說,
02:07
I am 100 percent百分 reliant信賴的 on the --
32
115760
2456
我要百分之百依靠——
02:10
(Beatboxing口技) flexibility靈活性
of the unfiltered未經過濾 human人的 voice語音.
33
118240
5256
(節奏口技聲)
原汁原味的人聲所擁有的靈活彈性。
02:15
And for years年份, my contemporaries同時代 and I
have been fielding守備 questions問題 like,
34
123520
3936
多年來,我和我同儕都一直在
回答類似下面的問題:
02:19
"Oh my God, that's so cool.
35
127480
2016
「我的天呀,那好酷。
02:21
When did you figure數字 out
you could do that?"
36
129520
2016
你是何時發現你有這種技能的?」
02:23
After I practiced for thousands數千
and thousands數千 of hours小時 --
37
131560
3496
在我練習了成千上萬個小時之後——
02:27
(Laughter笑聲)
38
135080
1256
(笑聲)
02:28
"And what do you do for a real真實 job工作?"

40
138400
2336
「我是全職的節奏口技表演者,庭上。」
02:32
But there is one question
that I get quite相當 a lot
41
140760
3856
但有個我常被問到的問題,
02:36
that's a little bit
more difficult to answer回答,
42
144640
3296
是比較難回答的問題,
02:39
and that is how are you doing it --
43
147960
1696
那就是,你怎麼做到的——
02:41
how are you making製造 those noises噪音?
44
149680
2776
你怎麼能製造出那些聲響?
02:44
And I mean, I know muscle肌肉 memory記憶
dictates使然 where I position位置 my lips嘴唇
45
152480
3856
我是指,我知道肌肉記憶
會讓我把嘴脣放在適當位置,
02:48
in order訂購 to --
46
156360
1216
才能發出這樣的聲響——
02:49
(Beatboxing口技)
47
157600
2056
(節奏口技聲)
02:51
but I have no idea理念 about the inner
mechanics機械學 of everything.
48
159680
3776
但我完全不知道其內在機制。
02:55
You know, all the flappy飛揚 bits
and kind of dangly垂吊 things
49
163480
3216
所有那些能拍打和懸吊的器官,
02:58
and how they interact相互作用 in --
50
166720
1896
以及它們如何協同作用的——
03:00
(Laughter笑聲)
51
168640
1016
(笑聲)
03:01
in a way that allows允許 me to --
52
169680
1416
讓我能夠——
03:03
(Beatboxing口技)
53
171120
4920
(節奏口技聲)
03:08
To put it metaphorically比喻,
54
176720
1376
打個比方,
03:10
I know how to drive駕駛,
55
178120
2096
我知道如何開車,
03:12
I just don't know what's under the hood引擎罩.
56
180240
2976
我只是不知道引擎蓋下面有什麼。
03:15
So I decided決定 to find out

03:17

my throat.
62
199200
1376

03:32
And to help me do that,

2536
湯:他並不是在暖手。
04:07
It doesn't get that intimate親密.
78
235400
1520
沒有要做到那麼親密。
04:10
MBMB: We set out a little while ago
to try to go deep into the world世界 --
79
238120
3736
馬:不久前我們才開始,
試圖要更深入這個世界——
04:13
and the throat --
80
241880
1216
以及這位非凡節奏口技表演者的喉嚨,
04:15
of this beatboxer的beatboxer extraordinaire非凡
81
243120
2296
04:17
to try to understand理解 how such這樣 a vast廣大
array排列 of sounds聲音 are humanly從人的角度 possible可能.
82
245440
5496
試圖了解為什麼人類
能夠發出這麼多種聲音。
04:22
And what we found發現 --
83
250960
1616
而我們的發現——
04:24
these are going in the mouth by the way --
84
252600
2056
順便一提,這些是要
放到嘴巴裡的——
04:26
and what we found發現
was something absolutely絕對 amazing驚人.
85
254680
4040
我們的發現非常驚人。
04:31
Even after my two years年份
of laryngeal surgery手術
86
259360
3216
即使我在哈佛醫學院
做了兩年的喉部手術,
04:34
in Harvard哈佛 Medical School學校
87
262600
1256
04:35
with world-renowned世界知名 professor教授
Steven史蒂芬 Zeitels澤特爾斯,
88
263880
3016
且是和世界知名的史蒂文·蔡特爾斯
教授合作,仍然覺得驚人。
04:38
we never saw anything
as extraordinary非凡 or fascinating迷人 as this,
89
266920
4056
我們以前從來沒有看過
這麼不凡或迷人的東西,
04:43
and that's what we're going
to show顯示 you tonight今晚.
90
271000
2240
我們今晚就要展示給各位看。
04:47
(Laughter笑聲)
91
275320
2600
(笑聲)
04:50
Alright好的, so for those of you
who might威力 be a little squeamish過於拘謹的,
92
278720
2896
好,如果你是容易作嘔的人,
04:53
the next下一個 10 minutes分鐘 or so
will get incrementally增量 more graphic圖像
93
281640
3176
接下來的十分鐘左右
會有越來越鮮明的圖像,
04:56
and stomach-churning讓人噁心,
94
284840
1456
讓胃越來越翻騰,
04:58
so let's get into it --
95
286320
1256
所以,來吧——
04:59
TTTT: Feel free自由 to use the bucket.
96
287600
1576
湯:若需要桶子請自便。
05:01
(Laughter笑聲)
97
289200
1696
(笑聲)
05:02
MBMB: So when we make sound聲音,
98
290920
2176
馬:當我們發出聲音時,
05:05
we use the vocal聲音的 cords
to take air空氣 from the lungs
99
293120
2936
我們用聲帶將空氣送入肺部,
05:08
and then turn it into a vibrating振動
air空氣 column in the throat.
100
296080
3696
接著在喉嚨中將它
轉變成振動的空氣柱。
05:11
If you think of it like a trumpet喇叭,
101
299800
1736
可以把它想像成喇叭,
05:13
we've我們已經 got the mouthpiece喉舌 --
that's the vocal聲音的 folds褶皺 --
102
301560
2896
喇叭前端有吹嘴——等同於聲帶,
05:16
and then the horn喇叭 section部分 is the throat.
103
304480
2936
接著,尾端喇叭口的部分就是喉嚨。
05:19
If we took your head off,
104
307440
1336
如果把你的頭拿掉,
05:20
took a bit of your neck頸部 off
105
308800
1416
再切掉一點脖子,
05:22
and left you as a torso軀幹
with just your vocal聲音的 folds褶皺 vibrating振動,
106
310240
3896
只留下你的軀幹
和你的聲帶在振動,
05:26
this is what you'd sound聲音 like.
107
314160
1736
你聽起來就像這樣。
05:27
(Flatulent扁平 sound聲音)
108
315920
3376
(仿腸胃氣脹聲)
湯:(高音)
05:31
TTTT: (High pitch瀝青)
109
319320
1216
馬:這樣會難以溝通,
所幸,我們有喉嚨。
05:32
MBMB: Pretty漂亮 hard to communicate通信,
but fortunately幸好 we've我們已經 got a throat.
110
320560
3176
我們有各種軟組織,
05:35
We've我們已經 got all the soft柔軟的 tissues組織,
111
323760
1536
會產生讓你今晚能聽到的
05:37
and that actually其實 gives you
all the incredible難以置信 dynamics動力學 of sound聲音
112
325320
3296
各種了不起的聲音變化。
05:40
that you'll你會 hear tonight今晚.
113
328640
1560
05:42
Now, this is a rigid死板 laryngoscope喉 鏡.
114
330880
3480
這是個硬式喉頭鏡。
05:47
TTTT: Hmm, spicy boy男孩.
115
335640
1216
湯:嗯,真要命。
05:48
(Laughter笑聲)
116
336880
1016
(笑聲)
05:49
MBMB: I know, I know.
117
337920
1216
馬:我知道,我知道。
05:51
(Laughter笑聲)
118
339160
1496
(笑聲)
05:52
10 millimeters毫米 in diameter直徑,
119
340680
1336
直徑十公釐,
05:54
it gives us the highest最高 resolution解析度
image圖片 of the larynx we can get.
120
342040
3616
讓我們能取得目前
最高解析度的喉頭影像。
05:57
And we teed泰德 up with a stroboscope頻閃鏡 here
121
345680
3176
我們再搭配這裡的頻閃儀,
06:00
and a trigger觸發 microphone麥克風.
122
348880
2080
還有觸發式麥克風。
06:03
The micMIC will pick up the frequency頻率
123
351760
1896
麥克風會取得頻率,
06:05
and that will allow允許 us
to show顯示 you how this all works作品.
124
353680
3616
讓我們可以向各位呈現
整體的運作方式。
06:09
So, if we can have the lights燈火 down?
125
357320
1720
能不能把燈光調暗一點?
06:13
TTTT: (Low pitch瀝青)
126
361120
1216
湯:(低音)
06:14
MBMB: Turn the light on here.
127
362360
1400
馬:把這邊的燈打開。
06:16
TTTT: (High and low pitches球場)
128
364760
4456
湯:(高音與低音)
06:21
MBMB: So I've got the frequency頻率 of sound聲音
matched匹配 with the stroboscope頻閃鏡.
129
369240
3896
馬:所以,我讓聲音的
頻率跟頻閃儀匹配。
06:25
That's the light you're seeing眼看
flickering閃爍 in the cup杯子.
130
373160
2496
那就是你們可以看見的杯中閃光。
06:27
TTTT: (Low pitch瀝青)
131
375680
1736
湯:(低音)
06:29
MBMB: And that's at about 80 hertz赫茲 or so.
132
377440
2496
馬:那聲音大約是八十赫茲左右。
06:31
So what we can do then is we can take that
133
379960
3376
接著,我們能做的是,
讓頻閃和聲音變得不同步。
06:35
and put the phase of the strobe頻閃
and the sound聲音 just out of sync同步.
134
383360
4176
06:39
That lets讓我們 us capture捕獲 real-time即時的,
slow-motion慢動作 activity活動 of vibrating振動 tissues組織.
135
387560
5776
這樣我們就能即時捕捉到
振動組織的慢動作。
06:45
When we apply應用 that to the larynx,
136
393360
2096
當我們把它用到喉頭上時,
06:47
we get this fluid流體, slow-motion慢動作
of the vibrating振動 vocal聲音的 folds褶皺.
137
395480
4336
我們就能拍到聲帶在振動的
流暢、慢動作畫面。
06:51
So that's what we're going
to get on and do.
138
399840
2080
那就是我們等下要做的。
06:58
Alright好的, you ready準備?
139
406120

MBMB: OK, so here we go.
142
409880
1256
馬:好,開始了。
07:03
We're going to have
a look at the voice語音 box.
143
411160
2080
我們要來看一下喉頭。
07:08
(Laughter笑聲)
144
416160
1960
(笑聲)
07:11
It's very hard not to gag插科打諢 with this.
145
419760
2336
這很難不讓人感到作嘔。
07:14
Say, "e."
146
422120
1576
說「伊」。
07:15
TTTT: (Singing唱歌) E --
147
423720
1256
湯:(唱)伊——
07:17
MBMB: So down the bottom底部
you see the vocal聲音的 cords,
148
425000
2336
馬:在最下面,你們可以看到聲帶,
07:19
the little cord-like線狀 structures結構.
149
427360
1576
很像線繩的結構。
07:20
(Laughter笑聲)
150
428960
1720
(笑聲)
07:23
And now just look at the skin皮膚 on the neck頸部
151
431760
2456
現在,看看脖子的皮膚,
07:26
and you'll你會 see how strong強大
the light is to penetrate穿透 the skin皮膚.
152
434240
3640
你會看到穿過皮膚的光線有多強。
07:34
Alright好的, so if you'll你會 have
the lights燈火 back on?
153
442360
2280
好,如果把燈光再打開呢?
07:39

(Audience聽眾 gasps喘氣)
160
461120
2016
(觀眾倒抽一口氣)
07:55
MBMB: So that's the vibrating振動 vocal聲音的 folds褶皺;
161
463160
2216
馬:那就是在振動的聲帶;
07:57
about 120 hertz赫茲.
162
465400
2216
大約一百二十赫茲。
07:59
Means手段 they've他們已經 collided相撞 120 times a second第二
163
467640
3896
意思就是它們每秒鐘
會碰撞一百二十次,
08:03
just to make that sound聲音.
164
471560
1760
才能產生那聲音。
08:06
And we can also see that they're
absolutely絕對, perfectly完美 normal正常.
165
474640
4776
我們可以看到它們
是絕對完好、正常的。
08:11
So all his beatboxing口技,
all those sounds聲音 for years年份
166
479440
3016
所以這些年來的節奏口技表演,
08:14
with Tom's湯姆 way of doing it --
167
482480
1696
湯姆的作法
08:16
absolutely絕對 no damage損傷 whatsoever任何.
168
484200
2216
絕對沒有造成損害。
08:18
That's really remarkable卓越.
169
486440
1680
這是非常令人驚嘆的。
08:21
Well doneDONE.
170
489200
1616
做的好。
08:22
OK.
171
490840
1216
好的。
08:24
TTTT: (High pitch瀝青)
172
492080
1216
湯:(高音)
沒問題的。
08:25
We've我們已經 got this.
173
493320
1216
馬:現在看看聲帶從高音到低音。
08:26
MBMB: So watch now as the vocal聲音的 cords
go from high pitch瀝青 to low pitch瀝青.
174
494560
3536
08:30
You'll你會 see them go from long
and skinny枯瘦 to short and fat脂肪.
175
498120
3320
你會看到他們從瘦而長化成短而肥。
08:35
Really think "e."
176
503680
1936
請發出「伊」的聲音。
08:37
TTTT: (High to low pitch瀝青) E.
177
505640
6600
湯:(從高音到低音)伊。
08:46
MBMB: Right.
178
514440
1256
馬:好的。
08:47
TTTT: (High to low pitch瀝青) E.
179
515720
5415
湯:(從高音到低音)伊。
08:53
MBMB: And what you can see
is that his vocal聲音的 range範圍 is so extreme極端 --
180
521159
3497
馬:你可以看到他的音域是如此的極端。
08:56
much more extreme極端 than any other
performer演員 I've worked工作 with --
181
524680
3136
比任何其他我曾共事的
表演者,都還要更極端。
08:59
the machine actually其實 can't capture捕獲
the really high pitches球場.
182
527840
3616
機器其實無法捕捉到這些高音。
09:03
TTTT: (High pitch瀝青)
183
531480
1616
湯:(高音)
09:05
MBMB: So we know that whistle register寄存器
is somewhere某處 around 2,092 hertz赫茲.
184
533120
5136
馬:我們知道有些哨音
被監測到高達 2,092 赫茲左右。
09:10
That means手段 the vocal聲音的 cords,
185
538280
1536
這代表聲帶,
09:11
well over 2,000 times a second第二,
186
539840
2416
每秒超過兩千次,
09:14
are banging together一起
just to make that sound聲音.
187
542280
2256
不斷地拍擊,才能發出那種聲音。
09:16
That's really extraordinary非凡.
188
544560
1896
這非常的不得了。
09:18
If you think about them,
they're only 15 millimeters毫米 long,
189
546480
3496
如果你想想看,它們僅有 15 公釐長。
09:22
so that's barely僅僅 the width寬度 of your thumb拇指.
190
550000
2136
那幾乎不比你的拇指寬。
09:24
That's incred增量 --
191
552160
1216
這真是不可(思議)…
09:25
(Laughter笑聲)
192
553400
1776
(笑聲)
09:27
That's amazing驚人 this organ器官
can do such這樣 a thing.
193
555200
2880
難以置信一個器官可以做到這些。
09:30
So now we're going to swap交換
over to the flexible靈活 laryngoscope喉 鏡.
194
558680
5456
現在我們要換成可彎曲式喉頭鏡。
09:36
This is a little more graphic圖像.
195
564160
2696
這會有更鮮明的畫面。
09:38
TTTT: He bought it at SEXPOSXPO.
196
566880
1456
湯:他在成人博覽會買的。
09:40
(Laughter笑聲)
197
568360
2600
(笑聲)
09:43
MBMB: That wasn't in the script腳本.
198
571720
1696
馬:這不在腳本裡。
09:45
(Laughter笑聲)
199
573440
1216
(笑聲)
09:46
(Applause掌聲)
200
574680
1200
(掌聲)
09:51
TTTT: Secondhand二手.
201
579080
1216
湯:二手貨。
09:52
(Laughter笑聲)
202
580320
3560
(笑聲)
09:57
MBMB: Now, we've我們已經 had to time
this bit perfectly完美
203
585360
2576
馬:我們必須準確地掌握時間,
09:59
because of the requirement需求
for local本地 anesthetic麻藥.
204
587960
2256
因為這需要局部麻醉。
10:02
You've got to numb麻木 the nose鼻子,
get the camera相機 in.
205
590240
2656
你得讓鼻子失去感覺
好讓攝影機進去。
10:04
It doesn't help for producing生產
a lot of the sounds聲音,
206
592920
2656
這或許對製造聲響沒有幫助,
10:07
but it gives us a really cool view視圖
of what's happening事件.
207
595600
2816
但這給我們很酷的視野
可以一窺究竟。
10:10
So hold保持 onto the stomachs,
and let's see what we can do.
208
598440
3536
試著不要吐,
看看我們可以做什麼地步。
10:14
(Audience聽眾 gasps喘氣)
209
602000
2440
(觀眾倒抽一口氣)
10:17
So we're going to the back of the nose鼻子.
210
605600
1880
我們現在來到鼻子的後方。
10:22
And there you can see the soft柔軟的 palate.
211
610840
2096
你可以看到軟顎。
10:24
A lot of the sounds聲音
we make from day to day,
212
612960
2136
許多我們每天製造的聲音,
10:27
even the simple簡單 ones那些,
213
615120
1416
即使是些簡單的聲音,
10:28
are incredibly令人難以置信 complex複雜.
214
616560
1456
其實都非常複雜。
10:30
The sound聲音 "khKH" for example.
215
618040
2576
舉例「克」的音。
10:32
It's the soft柔軟的 palate sealing密封 up
precisely恰恰 against反對 the back of the nose鼻子.
216
620640
4096
軟顎精準地頂起,抵著鼻子的後方。
10:36
So if you say it loudly高聲 five times,
217
624760
2856
如果你大聲說五次,
10:39
feel your own擁有 soft柔軟的 palate
snapping捕捉 against反對 the back of the throat.
218
627640
3896
你可以感到你的軟顎
在鼻子後方快速地移動。
10:43
KhKh, khKH, khKH, khKH, khKH, khKH.
219
631560
3696
克,克,克,克,克,克。
10:47
Alright好的, so this is what
it looks容貌 like when Tom湯姆 does it.

馬:在節奏口技的世界,
11:05
of course課程, they can use that
for all sorts排序 of different不同 effects效果.
227
653680

當然他們可以用它
發出各種不同的音效。
11:09
I can help you.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Tom Thum - Beatboxer
Hip-hop musician Tom Thum whirls together beatboxing, performance and an array of mouthsounds.

Why you should listen

Coming out of the small Brisbane, Australia, hip-hop scene, Tom Thum has become a world presence with his unhuman beatboxing sound. In 2005, he and Joel Turner won the team battle in the World Beatbox Championships, and Thum came second at the Scribble Jam Beatbox Battles, America’s most prestigious hip-hop competition, in 2006. He's a cast member in the hip-hop/circus performance troupe Tom Tom Crew, appearing on Broadway and London's West End.

Thum is also committed to teaching hip-hop, and travels throughout Australia sharing the positive message that music preaches.

Matthew Broadhurst - Ear, nose and throat surgeon
Matthew Broadhurst is an ear, nose and throat surgeon based in Brisbane, Australia.

Why you should listen

Matthew Broadhurst is Australia's first fellowship-trained laryngeal surgeon practicing in laryngology and voice restoration. His practice primarily involves management of voice and throat disorders and sleep-disordered breathing, including snoring and sleep apnea.

Broadhurst has a unique ability to provide assessment and management strategies for patients with voice disorders -- including hoarseness, vocal cord paralysis, throat cancer and more -- that are beyond the scope of general ear, nose and throat surgeons. He worked under the direct instruction of Steven Zeitels, a world leader and innovator in laryngeal surgery and voice restoration who was recently acknowledged at the Grammy's as the surgeon who restored the multi-platinum, award-winning artist Adele.

In Brisbane, Broadhurst performs groundbreaking specialized laryngeal surgical techniques using both 4K ultra-high definition microscopy and full high-definition video stroboscopy. He completed his Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery at Flinders University in 1996, and subsequently obtained his Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery in 2005.
