Ar esate pasiruošę pajudėti iš savo kėdžių? Būgninikas Clayton Cameron nagrinėja skirtingas muzikos rūšis, nuo ritmenbliuzo, latino muzikos, pop - pagal jų ritmą. Pristatymas parodo, kad hip hop'as ir jazas nėra "kietesni" už matematiką - jie paprasčiausiai ja pasikliauja.

(Džiaugsmingi šūksniai)
01:25
Now, one thing all those rhythms have in common
14
73942
5371
Vienas bendras dalykas, kurį turi visi šie ritmai
01:31
is math,
15
79313
1685
yra matematika,
01:32
and I call it a-rhythm-etic.
16
80998
2702
ir aš tai vadinu a-ritmeti-ka.
01:35
Can you repeat after me? A-rhythm-etic.

21

1437
CC: Taip.
01:50
Now all those styles of rhythm
22
98687
5242
Taigi, visuose šiuose ritmų stiliuose
01:55
are all counted in four
23
103929
3167
yra skaičiuojama iki keturių,
01:59
and then subdivided by three.
24
107096
3887
o tada padalijama iš trijų.
02:02
What?
25
110983
1853
Ką?
02:04
Yeah. Three is a magic number.
26
112836
3597
Taip. Trys - magiškas skaičius.
02:08
Three is a groovin' number.
27
116433
2490
Trys - tai ritmiškas skaičius.
02:10
Three is a hip-hop kind of number.
28
118923
3852
Trys - hip hop'o stiliaus skaičius.
02:14
But what does subdividing by three mean?
29
122775
2429
Tačiau, ką gi tas padalijimas į tris, reiškia?
02:17
And counting off by four?
30
125204
1817
Ir skaičiavimas iki keturių?
02:19
Well, look, think of it this way.
31
127021
2347
Na, žiūrėkit, galvokite šitaip.
02:21
A measure of music as a dollar.
32
129368
3737
Kad muzikos taktas yra doleris.
02:25
Now a dollar has four quarters, right?
33
133105
5962
Taigi, doleris turi keturis ketvirčius, tiesa?
02:31
And so does a 4/4 measure of music.
34
139067
3856
Lygiai taip pat ir 4/4 muzikinis metras.
02:34
It has four quarter notes.
35
142923
3643
Tai reiškia - keturios ketvirtines natas.
02:38
Now, how do you subdivide?
36
146566
2236
Taigi, kaip padalinti?
02:40
Now let's envision this:
37
148802
4392
Dabar įsivaizduokime šitaip:
02:45
three dollars' worth of quarters.
38
153194
3753
trijų dolerių vertės ketvirtinės.
02:48
You would have three groups of four,
39
156947
4020
Jūs turėtumėte tris grupes po keturis
02:52
and you would count it,
40
160967
1577
ir suskaičiuotumėte,
02:54
a-one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,
41
162544
2012
vienas-du-trys-keturi, vienas-du-trys-keturi,
02:56
one-two-three-four. Together.
42
164556
2027
vienas-du-trys-keturi. Dabar kartu.
02:58
All: A-one-two-three-four,

166583
3384
Visi: Vienas-du-trys-keturi, vienas-du-trys-keturi, vienas-du-trys-keturi.
03:01
CC: Okay, now you feel that?
44
169967
2257
CC: Gerai, ar dabar jaučiate tai?
03:04
Now let's take those three groups of four
45
172224
4960
Dabar paimkime šias tris grupes po keturis
03:09
and make them four groups of three.
46
177184
4419
ir padarykime iš jų keturias grupes po tris.
03:13
And listen to this.
47
181603
1833
Ir paklausykite.
03:15
A-one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,
48
183436
2055
Vienas-du-trys-keturi, vienas-du-trys-keturi,
03:17
one-two-three-four, with me.
49
185491
2142
vienas-du-trys-keturi, kartu su manimi.
03:19
One-two-three-four, one-two-three, come on, y'all!
50
187633
2682
Vienas-du-trys-keturi, vienas-du-trys-keturi, prisijunkite visi!
03:22
All: One-two-three-four,
one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four, ah.
one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four, ah.
51
190315
4922
Visi: Vienas-du-trys-keturi, vienas-du-trys-keturi, vienas-du-trys-keturi.
03:27
CC: There you go.
52
195237
1645
CC: Na štai.
03:28
All right, second line.
53

04:21
So I want to take the second line beat
67
249764
3815
Taigi, aš noriu apjungti antros eilutės ritmą
04:25
and the swing beat and put them together,
68
253579
2061
ir svingo ritmą,
04:27
and it sounds something like this.
69
255640
2591
ir tai skamba panašiai kaip tai.
04:43
Aha.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Clayton Cameron - DrummerA pioneer in brush technique, drummer Clayton Cameron has toured with Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Bennett and jazz legend Kenny Burrell.
Why you should listen
Clayton Cameron holds a unique title: Brush Master. That's because this percussionist prefers brushes to sticks, and has spent his career perfecting the art of brush technique. Cameron grew up in Los Angeles and started drumming at a young age on empty oatmeal boxes. After college, he moved to Las Vegas, where he was hired as the drummer for Sammy Davis Jr.'s big band. "It would be Sammy's tap dancing night after night that would inspire my brush playing," says Cameron.
During his tenure with Sammy Davis Jr., Cameron played with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. And, after moving to New York, he struck up a longterm friendship with Tony Bennett, and spent 15 years touring with the master. Cameron recorded 15 albums with Bennett, including his Grammy-winning Tony Bennett Unplugged.
Cameron has also worked with jazz legend Kenny Burrell, who encouraged him to teach at UCLA's Herb Alpert School of Music. In addition, Cameron released his debut album in 2012, Here's to the Messengers: Tribute to Art Blakey, and formed his own group, Jazz eXplosion. Cameron has also released several DVDs over the years as well as a book, Brushworks.
