a TED Talk online at one time or another, right?

都曾經在網上看過 TED 演講，是吧？

This is the song from the TED Talks online.

because things sound cooler when they're slower.

馬克．阿波保：我要——凱特．史東：——混搭音樂。

Tod Machover: Something nobody's ever heard before.

Chris Anderson: You turn up the  dials, the wheel starts to turn.

丹．艾爾西：我一直熱愛音樂。

Michael Tilson Thomas: Is it a melody  or a rhythm or a mood or an attitude?

Adam Ockelford: In your brain is  this amazing musical computer.

雅丹．奧克福：在你大腦裡，這簡直就是一台不可思議的音樂電腦。

MTT: Using computers and synthesizers to create  works. It's a language that's still evolving.

麥可．湯瑪斯：利用電腦和合成器來創作。這是種仍不斷進化的語言。

肯．羅賓森：打開收音機，跑跑夜店。

You will know what this person  is doing: moving to the music.

Kirby Ferguson and JT: The remix: It  is new music created from old music.

克比．福吉森和朱利安．崔吉：混搭曲，這是用舊歌曲創造的新音樂。

凱瑟琳．舒茲：而這就是混搭。

麥可．湯瑪斯：音樂停止時會怎麼樣？

MR: Obviously, I've been watching a lot of TED Talks.

看得出來我看了很多 TED 演講。

I wasn't quite sure what my angle was, at first,

so yeah, I immediately started watching tons of TED Talks,

所以沒錯，我立馬開始觀看一大堆的 TED 演講，

because you start to go into panic mode, thinking,

因為你開始進入恐慌狀態，不斷地想

I haven't mounted a successful expedition to the North Pole yet.

In fact, I've pretty much wasted most of my life

老實說，我將人生的大部分時間

但是我還是鍥而不捨地觀看這些視頻，

and eventually, things like Michael Tilson Thomas

而且到了最後，像麥可．提爾森．湯瑪斯、

their visceral passion talking about music,

看著他們滿腔熱情地談論音樂，

這絕對在我內心深處激起了一些想法，

and I'm a sucker for anyone talking devotedly

我對於滿腔熱血談論音樂力量的人

And I started to write down on these little note cards

我開始在這些小小的便簽紙上寫下

that struck a chord in me, pardon the pun,

敲動我的心弦，原諒我的雙關語，

或者我一想到我可以用的什麼東西，

and pretty soon, my studio looked like this,

很快，我的工作室就變成了這樣，

kind of like a John Nash, "Beautiful Mind" vibe.

有點像約翰．納許《 美麗心靈》的感覺。

The other good thing about watching TED Talks,

觀看 TED 演講的另外一個好處是

當你看到一個相當了不起的演講時，

you kind of all of a sudden wish the speaker

你就突然忍不住希望這位演講者

was your best friend, don't you? Like, just for a day.

就是你的死黨，是不是？就一天也好。

You'd take a bike ride, maybe share an ice cream.

你們一起騎單車，或者分享一份冰淇淋，

when they got frustrated that you couldn't really

keep up with half of the technical things they're banging on about all the time.

因為你不是很懂他們一直甩出來的技術行話。

But then they'd remember that you're but a mere human

但是他們會記起你不過是凡人一名，

然後就拍拍你，就像安撫小狗一樣。

are not going to end up being best of friends.

He lives all the way in L.A. and I imagine is quite busy,

他住在遙遠的洛杉磯，我想他是非常忙碌的，

but through the tools available to me -- technology

但是通過我可以控制的工具——科技

and the innate way that I approach making music --

以及我與生俱來的製作音樂的方式——

I can hear something that I love in a piece of media

我可以從我喜歡的媒體作品中聽出些東西

將我自己插入到那個敘事聲音中

In a nutshell, that's what I was trying to do

簡單來說，這就是我一直嘗試利用這些東西所做的事情

that's what the past 30 years of music has been.

這也是過去三十年來音樂的樣貌。

See, 30 years ago, you had the first digital samplers,

三十年前出現了第一台數位合成器，

from anything and everything that came before them,
