In 1991 I had

1826
Pada tahun 1991 saya memiliki pengalaman
00:14
maybe the most profound and transformative
1
2363
2758
yang mungkin paling mendalam dan transformatif
00:17
experience of my life.
2
5121
1566
dalam hidup saya.
00:18
I was in the third year of my seven-year undergraduate degree.
3
6687
4727
Saat itu saya sedang menempuh tahun ketiga dari tujuh tahun kuliah saya
00:23
I took a couple victory laps in there.
4
11414
2191
- Aku memperlamanya dua tahun saat itu -
00:25
And I was on a college choir tour up in Northern California,
5
13605
4222
dan saya sedang dalam tur paduan suara di California Utara,
00:29
and we had stopped for the day after all day on the bus,
6
17827
2657
kami berhenti sejenak setelah sepanjang hari berada di bus
00:32
and we were relaxing next to this beautiful
7
20484
2066
dan kami sedang bersantai di sebuah
00:34
idyllic lake in the mountains.
8
22550
2189
danau yang indah di pegunungan.
00:36
And there were crickets and birds and frogs making noise,
9
24739
4396
dan ada jangkrik dan burung dan katak yang membuat suara
00:41
and as we sat there, over the mountains coming in
10
29135
2716
dan ketika kami duduk di sana, dari arah pegunungan
00:43
from the north were these Steven Spielbergian clouds
11
31851
2968
datanglah awan-awan yang sangat megah
00:46
rolling toward us,
12
34819
1473
meluncur ke arah kami,
00:48
and as the clouds got about halfway over the valley,
13
36292
2647
dan ketika awan-awan itu bergerak menuju lembah
00:50
so help me God, every single animal in that place
14
38939
4398
ya Tuhan, semua binatang yang ada di sana
00:55
stopped making noise at the same time.
15
43337
2216
berhenti bersuara di waktu yang sama
00:57
(Whoosh) This electric hush, as if they could sense what was about to happen.
16
45553
5084
(Whoosh) seolah-olah mereka bisa merasakan apa yang akan terjadi.
01:02
And then the clouds came over us, and then,
17
50637
2060
Dan kemudian awan-awan itu tiba di atas kita, dan kemudian,
01:04
boom! This massive thunderclap, and sheets of rain.
18
52697
4310
Boom! Muncul gemuruh dahsyat, dan hujan yang deras.
01:09
It was just extraordinary, and when I came back home
19
57007
3462
itu sangat luar biasa, dan ketika saya pulang ke rumah
01:12
I found a poem by the Mexican poet Octavio Paz,
20
60469
3003
Saya menemukan sebuah puisi ciptaan penyair Octavio Paz dari Meksiko
01:15
and decided to set it to music,
21
63472
2501
dan memutuskan untuk menjadikan puisi itu sebuah lagu
01:17
a piece for choir called "Cloudburst,"
22
65973
2181
untuk paduan suara yang berjudul "Cloudburst"
01:20
which is the piece that we'll perform for you in just a moment.
23
68154
3163
Dimana lagu inilah yang akan kami mainkan untuk anda sebentar lagi
01:23
Now fast forward to just three years ago.
24
71317
4375
Sekarang bergerak cepat ke tiga tahun yang lalu
01:27
(Music) And we released to YouTube this,
25
75692
3441
(Musik) dan kami meluncurkan ini ke Youtube
01:31
the Virtual Choir Project,
26
79133
2256
Proyek Paduan Suara Virtual
01:33
185 singers from 12 different countries.
27
81389
3207
185 penyanyi dari 12 negara yang berbeda.
01:36
You can see my little video there conducting these people,
28
84596
3437
Anda bisa melihat video kecil saya menjadi konduktor untuk mereka
01:40
alone in their dorm rooms
29
88033
1155
yang sedang sendirian di kamar asrama masing-masing
01:41
or in their living rooms at home.
30
89188
3089
atau di ruang tamu rumah mereka.
01:44
Two years ago, on this very stage, we premiered
31
92277
3726
Dua tahun lalu, di panggung yang sama ini, kami memutarkan premier
01:48
Virtual Choir 2,
32
96003
3547
Paduan suara virtual 2,
01:51
2,052 singers from 58 different countries,
33
99550
4562
2,052 penyanyi dari 58 negara yang berbeda,
01:56
this time performing a piece that I had written called "Sleep."
34
104112
3291
Kali ini menampilkan lagu yang saya tulis yang berjudul "Sleep."
01:59
And then just last spring we released Virtual Choir 3,
35
107403
5294
Dan musim semi yang lalu, kami meluncurkan Paduan Suara Virtual 3,
02:04
"Water Night," another piece that I had written,
36
112697
2556
"Water Night," lagu lain yang saya tulis.
02:07
this time nearly 4,000 singers from 73 different countries.
37
115253
6264
kali ini hampir 4.000 penyanyi dari 73 negara di dunia.
02:13
(Music)
38
121517
5419
(Musik)
02:18
And when I was speaking to Chris about the future
39
126936
3007
Dan ketika aku berbicara kepada Chris tentang masa depan
02:21
of Virtual Choir and where we might be able to take this,
40
129943
2150
dari Paduan Suara Virtual dan ke arah mana kami mungkin membawanya
02:24
he challenged me to push the technology as far as we possibly could.
41
132093
4761
Dia menantang saya untuk mendorong teknologi sejauh yang kita mampu.
02:28
Could we do this all in real time?
42
136854
2503
Bisakah kita lakukan semua ini secara real time?
02:31
Could we have people singing together in real time?
43
139357
3040
Bisakah kita membuat orang-orang bernyanyi bersama secara real time?
02:34
And with the help of Skype,
44
142397
1595
Dan dengan bantuan Skype,
02:35
that is what we are going to attempt today.
45
143992
2104
itulah yang akan kita coba hari ini.
02:38
Now, we'll perform "Cloudburst" for you.
46
146096
2173
Sekarang, kami akan menampilkan "Cloudburst" untuk anda.
02:40
The first half will be performed by the live singers here on stage.
47
148269
3152
Paruh pertama akan dinyanyikan oleh penyanyi yang ada di panggung ini.
02:43
I'm joined by singers from Cal State Long Beach,
48
151421
2496
Saya bergabung dengan penyanyi dari Cal State Long Beach,
02:45
Cal State Fullerton and Riverside Community College,
49
153917
3328
Fullerton Cal State dan Riverside Community College
02:49
some of the best amateur choirs in the country, and —
50
157245
3320
beberapa paduan suara amatir terbaik di negeri ini, dan --
02:52
(Applause) --
51
160565
7038
(Tepuk tangan) --
02:59
and in the second half of the piece,
52
167603
2186
dan di paruh kedua lagu,
03:01
the virtual choir will join us, 30 different singers
53
169789
2822
paduan suara virtual akan bergabung dengan kami, 30 penyanyi berbeda
03:04
from 30 different countries.
54
172611
2050
dari 30 negara.
03:06
Now, we've pushed the technology as far as it can go,
55
174661
2584
Sekarang, kami telah mendorong teknologi sejauh mungkin,
03:09
but there's still less than a second of latency,
56
177245
2832
tapi tetap akan ada perbedaan waktu barang sepersekian detik,
03:12
but in musical terms, that's a lifetime.
57
180077
2079
tapi di musik, ketepatan itu amat penting.
03:14
We deal in milliseconds.
58
182156
1452
Kami berurusan dengan milidetik.
03:15
So what I've done is, I've adapted "Cloudburst"
59
183608
2467
Jadi yang saya lakukan adalah, saya menyesuaikan "Cloudburst"
03:18
so that it embraces the latency
60
186075
2503
sehingga masalah perbedaan waktu teratasi.
03:20
and the performers sing into the latency
61
188578
2905
dan para penyanyi menyanyi dalam perbedaan waktu itu
03:23
instead of trying to be exactly together.
62
191483
2498
alih-alih mencoba untuk menyanyikannya di waktu yang sama.
03:25
So with deep humility, and for your approval,
63
193981
3264
Jadi dengan kerendahan hati yang mendalam, dan untuk restu anda,
03:29
we present "Cloudburst."
64
197245
2112
Kami persembahan "Cloudburst."

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.

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).
