Čelistka Maya Beiser igra čudovito osem delno etudo s sedmimi kopijami sebe in gladko preide v meditativni hibrid med glasbo in videom -- uporabljajoč tehnologijo, da bi ustvarila neskončno možnosti za transformativno glasbo. Glasba je "Kontrapunkt čela" Stevea Reicha z videom Billa Morrisona, sledi pa "Svet, ki prihaja" Davida Langa.

Imagining a solo cello concert,
3
434000
3000
Če si zamislimo solo koncert s čelom,
07:32
one would most likely think of Johann Sebastian Bach
4
437000
3000
si zelo verjetno zamislimo suite za čelo
07:35
unaccompanied cello suites.
5
440000
3000
Johanna Sebastiana Bacha brez spremljave.
07:38
As a child
6
443000
2000
Kot otroku,
07:40
studying these eternal masterpieces,
7
445000
3000
ki je študiral te večne mojstrovine,
07:43
Bach's music would intermingle
8
448000
2000
se je Bachova glasba mešala
07:45
with the singing voices of Muslim prayers
9
450000
3000
z glasovi petja muslimanskih molitev
07:48
from the neighboring Arab village
10
453000
2000
iz sosednjih arabskih vasi
07:50
of the northern Kibbutz in Israel
11
455000
2000
v severnem Kibbutzu v Izraelu,
07:52
where I grew up.
12
457000
2000
kjer sem odrasla.
07:54
Late at night, after hours of practicing,
13
459000
2000
Pozno ponoči, po urah vadb,
07:56
I would listen to Janis Joplin and Billie Holiday
14
461000
3000
sem poslušala Janis Joplin in Billie Holiday,
07:59
as the sounds of tango music
15
464000
2000
med tem ko so se zvoki tanga
08:01
would be creeping from my parents' stereo.
16
466000
3000
plazili iz radia staršev.
08:04
It all became music to me.
17
469000
3000
Vse mi je postala glasba.
08:07
I didn't hear the boundaries.
18
472000
3000
Nisem slišala omejitev.
08:10
I still start every day
19
475000
2000
Še vedno vsak dan začnem
08:12
practicing playing Bach.
20
477000
2000
z vadbo igranja Bacha.
08:14
His music never ceases
21
479000
2000
Njegova glasba mi nikoli ne neha
08:16
to sound fresh and surprising to me.
22
481000
2000
zveneti sveže in presenetljivo.
08:18
But as I was moving away
23
483000
2000
Ko pa sem se začela odmikati
08:20
from the traditional classical repertoire
24
485000
2000
od tradicionalnega klasičnega repertoarja
08:22
and trying to find new ways
25
487000
2000
in poskušala najti nove načine
08:24
of musical expression,
26
489000
2000
glasbenega izražanja,
08:26
I realized that with today's technological resources,
27
491000
3000
sem spoznala, da ob današnjih tehnoloških virih
08:29
there's no reason to limit
28
494000
2000
ni razloga, da bi omejevali,
08:31
what can be produced at one time
29
496000
3000
kaj se lahko ustvari naenkrat
08:34
from a single string instrument.
30
499000
2000
iz samo enega inštrumenta s strunami.
08:36
The power and coherency
31
501000
2000
Moč in skladnost,
08:38
that comes from one person hearing, perceiving and playing all the voices
32
503000
4000
ki prihaja iz ene osebe, ki sliši, zaznava in igra vse glasove,
08:42
makes a very different experience.
33
507000
3000
naredi zelo drugačno izkušnjo.
08:45
The excitement of a great orchestra performance
34
510000
3000
Razburljivost odličnega nastopa orkestra
08:48
comes from the attempt to have a collective of musicians
35
513000
3000
prihaja iz poskusa, da bi kolektiv glasbenikov
08:51
producing one unified whole concept.
36
516000
3000
izvajal en združen celoten koncept.
08:54
The excitement from using multi-tracking,
37
519000
3000
Razburljivost uporabe več kanalnega snemanja,
08:57
the way I did in the piece you will hear next,
38
522000
4000
kot sem naredila pri skladbi, ki jo boste zdaj slišali,
09:01
comes from the attempt
39
526000
2000
prihaja iz poskusa,
09:03
to build and create a whole universe
40
528000
3000
da zgradim in ustvarim celo vesolje
09:06
with many diverse layers,
41
531000
3000
z mnogimi raznolikimi sloji,
09:09
all generated from a single source.
42
534000
3000
ki so vsi ustvarjeni iz istega vira.
09:12
My cello and my voice are layered
43
537000
2000
Moje čelo in moj glas sta v slojih,
09:14
to create this large sonic canvas.
44
539000
3000
da bi ustvarila to veliko glasbeno platno.
09:17
When composers write music for me,
45
542000
3000
Ko skladatelji pišejo glasbo zame,
09:20
I ask them to forget what they know about the cello.
46
545000
2000
jih prosim, naj pozabijo vse, kar vedo o čelu.
09:22
I hope to arrive at new territories
47
547000
3000
Upam, da bom prispela na nova področja,
09:25
to discover sounds I have never heard before.
48
550000
3000
da bi odkrila zvoke, ki jih še nikoli nisem slišala.
09:28
I want to create endless possibilities
49
553000
2000
S tem čelom želim ustvariti
09:30
with this cello.
50
555000
2000
neskončne možnosti.
09:32
I become the medium through which the music is being channeled,
51
557000
3000
Postanem medij, skozi katerega se kanalizira glasba
09:35
and in the process, when all is right,
52
560000
3000
in v tem postopku, ko je vse prav,
09:38
the music is transformed
53
563000
2000
se glasba transformira
09:40
and so am I.
54
565000
2000
in z njo tudi jaz.
