I was thinking about my place in the universe,
0
2000
3000
Es bērnībā domāju par savu vietu Visumā,
00:17
and about my first thought about what infinity might mean,
1
5000
7000
un pirmo domu par to,
ko varētu nozīmēt bezgalība.
00:24
when I was a child.
2
12000
3000
00:27
And I thought that if time could reach
3
15000
4000
Un es domāju, ka ja laiks varētu sniegties
00:31
forwards and backwards infinitely,
4
19000
2000
bezgalīgi tālu pagātnē un nākotnē,
00:33
doesn't that mean that
5
21000
2000
vai tas nenozīmētu,
00:35
every point in time is really infinitely small,
6
23000
3000
ka katrs laika punkts ir bezgalīgi mazs,
00:38
and therefore somewhat meaningless.
7
26000
2000
un tādējādi savā ziņā nenozīmīgs.
00:40
So we don't really have a place in the universe,
8
28000
2000
Tāpēc mēs neeksistējam Visumā,
00:42
as far as on a time line.
9
30000
2000
vismaz laika nozīmē.
00:44
But nothing else does either.
10
32000
2000
Bet neeksistē arī nekas cits.
00:46
Therefore every moment really is the most important moment
11
34000
3000
Tāpēc katrs brīdis ir vissvarīgākais,
00:49
that's ever happened, including this moment right now.
12
37000
3000
kas vien noticis, ieskaitot šo pašu brīdi.
00:52
And so therefore this music you're about to hear
13
40000
2000
Un tāpēc mūzika, ko tūlīt dzirdēsiet
00:54
is maybe the most important music
14
42000
2000
ir, iespējams, pati svarīgākā,
00:56
you'll ever hear in your life.
15
44000
3000
ko dzirdēsiet savā dzīvē.
00:59

For those of you who I'll be fortunate enough to meet afterwards,
22
524000
4000
Ja man pēc tam laimējas jūs satikt,
09:00
you could please refrain from saying,
23
528000
2000
lūdzu, nesakiet:
09:02
"Oh my god, you're so much shorter in real life."
24
530000
4000
„Ak, Kungs! Tu dzīvē esi daudz īsāka.”
09:06
(Laughter)
25
534000
3000
(Smiekli)
09:09
Because it's like the stage is an optical illusion,
26
537000
3000
Jo skatuve ir kā optiska ilūzija,
09:12
for some reason.
27
540000
2000
nezin kāpēc.
09:14
(Laughter)
28
542000
2000
(Smiekli)
09:18
Somewhat like the curving of the universe.
29
546000
2000
Līdzīgi kā Visums ir ieliekts.
09:20
I don't know what it is. I get asked in interviews a lot,
30
548000
3000
Nezinu, kāpēc tā.
Intervijās man bieži saka:
Intervijās man bieži saka:
09:23
"My god, you're guitars are so gigantic!"

„Tavas ģitāras ir tik milzīgas!”
09:26
(Laughter)
32

(Smiekli)
09:27
"You must get them custom made -- special, humongous guitars."
33
555000
3000
„Tās noteikti taisa pēc īpaša pasūtījuma.
Īpašas, milzonīgas ģitāras.”
Īpašas, milzonīgas ģitāras.”

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kaki King - GuitaristKaki King combines jaw-dropping guitar work with dreamy, searching songwriting.
Why you should listen
Kaki King's percussive technique (guitar geeks compare it to Preston Reed's; everyone else compares it to Eddie Van Halen's) drives her songs forward, while layers of overdubs and her own soft vocals create a shimmering cloud of sound.
King's work on the soundtrack for 2007's Into the Wild was nominated for a Golden Globe, along with contributors Michael Brook and Eddie Vedder. Her groundbreaking multimedia work The Neck Is a Bridge to the Body uses projection mapping to present the guitar as an ontological tabula rasa in a creation myth unlike any other.
