Can you recognise the game from its soundtrack?

您能從配樂中認出這款遊戲嗎？

That's right, you fans of World of Warcraft.

沒錯，你們這些《魔獸世界》的粉絲們。

But who makes the soundtrack for video games?

但電子遊戲的配樂由誰來製作？

They are, of course, written and recorded just like a movie soundtrack.

當然，它們的創作和錄製就像電影原聲帶一樣。

Tunes which take you straight to the planet of Azeroth.

帶您直達艾澤拉斯星球的音樂。

Some of them born from this musical mind.

其中一些就誕生於這種音樂思想。

I get to work on lots of different types of music, but no matter what I do in life, I will always, always, always come back to the game music.

我可以創作很多不同類型的音樂，但無論我在生活中做什麼，我永遠、永遠、永遠都會回到遊戲音樂上來。

Eimear Noon is known as the Irish Queen of Game Music.

Eimear Noon 被譽為愛爾蘭遊戲音樂女王。

An award-winning composer, conductor, record producer and trailblazer for female maestros worldwide.

她是屢獲殊榮的作曲家、指揮家、唱片製作人，也是全球女音樂大師的開拓者。

Not only was she the first woman to conduct the Oscars, but she is the creator of some of the most iconic video game scores of all time.

她不僅是第一位指揮奧斯卡頒獎典禮的女性，還是一些最經典電子遊戲配樂的創作者。

We're talking Legend of Zelda, World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, so we're not messing around here.

我們正在討論《塞爾達傳說》、《魔獸世界》和《暗黑破壞神 3》，所以我們不是在開玩笑。

And she's going to tell us the secret of how to compose really great game music.

她將告訴我們如何創作出真正出色的遊戲音樂的祕訣。

First of all, we immerse ourselves in the world.

首先，我們沉浸在這個世界中。

Because if you live there, you're going to make it sound right.

因為如果你住在那裡，你就會把它說得很好聽。

A really good example is World of Warcraft.

魔獸世界》就是一個很好的例子。

There's the bones, which is an Irish percussion instrument.

還有骨頭，這是一種愛爾蘭打擊樂器。

Then there's the Hebrew shofar, which is a call to battle.

然後是希伯來語的 "shofar"，它是戰鬥的號角。

And when I was recording The High Priestess, every singer I brought in sounded too nice.

在錄製《女祭司》時，我請來的每一位歌手的聲音都太好聽了。

She goes, And the trumpets have this Really, really dissonant.

她說："小號的聲音真的很不和諧。

It almost sounds like they're firing shots in the notes.

聽起來幾乎就像是在向音符開槍。

All of those things we use to immerse the audience.

我們用所有這些東西讓觀眾身臨其境。

Does it use lots of woodwinds and bright strings and pizzicati, like a Hyrule, like a Zelda?

它是否使用了大量木管樂器、明亮的絃樂和撥絃，就像《海魯爾》和《塞爾達》那樣？

Or is it a dark guitar, lead, electronic, cello, something like that for bloodlines?

或者是暗色吉他、主音、電子樂、大提琴之類的血統？

That makes a very big difference to the harmonic language and melodic language we use.

這與我們使用的和聲語言和旋律語言有很大不同。

When I'm asked by younger composers what to do, I always say, Well, mine who you are, everything about you that makes you unique.

當年輕作曲家問我該怎麼做時，我總是說，那就挖掘你自己，挖掘你身上讓你獨一無二的一切。

Where I'm from, which is Ireland, doesn't mean that I'm writing traditional Irish music, but something about the culture and the mythology.

我的家鄉在愛爾蘭，這並不意味著我在創作傳統的愛爾蘭音樂，而是與愛爾蘭文化和神話有關的東西。

I can dip into that when I need to, to create a score.

我可以在需要時利用它來創作樂譜。

We have a lot of living history, and our myths and legends and lore, it's all over gaming.

我們有很多活生生的歷史，我們的神話、傳說和傳說，都在遊戲中隨處可見。

Why do I choose to compose and conduct video game music?

我為什麼選擇創作和指揮電子遊戲音樂？

Growing up, I loved music that could paint a picture and tell a story.

在我的成長過程中，我喜歡能描繪畫面、講述故事的音樂。

音樂，如貝多芬的《第六交響曲》。

Like Wittersturm, where you hear the tremolandi basses and it's terrifying.

就像《維特斯特姆》（Wittersturm），你會聽到震顫的低音，令人毛骨悚然。

As a child, there was so much room for imagination, and I'd listen to this music.

小時候，我有很多想象的空間，我會聽這些音樂。

Later on, when I got to understand that you could work in the medium of film and video games, where you got images to work with, I was in.

後來，當我瞭解到你可以在電影和視頻遊戲媒介中工作，你可以用影像來工作時，我就加入了。

Married to her musical partner, Craig Garfinkel, here's what it looks like for the pair to write the chilling score to Vampire the Masquerade, Bloodlines 2.

她與音樂搭檔克雷格-加芬克爾（Craig Garfinkel）結婚後，兩人為《吸血鬼獵人：血統 2》（Vampire the Masquerade, Bloodlines 2）創作了令人不寒而慄的配樂。

Talking about bringing up the woodwinds here into the upper register.

這裡說的是將木管樂器提升到高音區。

音樂讓我和克雷格走到了一起。

Not, oh, I intellectualise about music, therefore I feel something.

而不是說，哦，我對音樂有知識，所以我有感覺。

Writing is one thing, but the music's got to move from the computer to the orchestra somehow.

寫作是一回事，但音樂必須以某種方式從電腦轉移到管絃樂隊。

Well, it's a baton, but you get the point.

好吧，這是一根接力棒，但你懂的。

能與皇家愛樂樂團合作，我感到非常榮幸。

My number one job is to make sure that the nuts and bolts are in place, and then you take that to the next level.

It's only when we play them that they're brought back to life.

只有當我們播放它們時，它們才會重新煥發生機。

You get this feedback loop of energy, and you're in the middle of it.

你會得到這種能量反饋循環，而你就在其中。

I'm going to hold that last chord forever and a half.

我要把最後一個和絃保持到永遠。

Ima has wielded dozens of batons on stages around the world.

伊瑪曾在世界各地的舞臺上揮舞過數十根警棍。

But today, she's showing us the one she won't leave home without.

但今天，她要向我們展示的，是她出門必帶的禮物。

These are made for me in upstate New York by a wonderful man called Phil Agulia of Pagu Batons.

這些都是紐約州北部的一位名叫菲爾-阿古里亞（Phil Agulia）的帕古警棍製作師為我製作的。

My baton case says, Wake the Winds, as a tribute to the most famous baton of all time, and that is the Wind Waker from The Legend of Zelda.

我的指揮棒盒上寫著 "Wake the Winds（喚醒風）"，這是向有史以來最著名的指揮棒致敬，那就是《塞爾達傳說》中的 "Wind Waker"。

They're all weighted, especially for me, so they don't balance there the way most do.

它們都是有重量的，尤其是對我來說，所以它們不會像大多數那樣平衡。

Mine are slightly different, so they tip forward so that they glide.

我的略有不同，它們是向前傾斜的，所以可以滑行。

This one Phil created for me for the Oscars.

這幅是菲爾為我創作的奧斯卡作品。

If you can see, Oscar is right there himself.

如果你能看到，奧斯卡就在那裡。

And, of course, I have to have one that's pink.

Thanks to the Irish Queen of Gaming, a whole world of music opens up from the orchestra to your console.

多虧了這位愛爾蘭遊戲女王，從交響樂團到您的控制檯，整個音樂世界才得以打開。

It makes me feel really proud when we create something that touches the players in a way that lingers after they go away from the game.

當我們創造的東西能打動玩家，並在他們離開遊戲後仍記憶猶新時，我會感到非常自豪。

When you're on stage performing something live and it brings the audience together who may have experienced something on their own, that brings the feels and brings memories that are positive, that's huge, that's full circle, that is the zenith.

當你在舞臺上進行現場表演時，觀眾們會聚在一起，他們可能自己也經歷過一些事情，這給他們帶來了感受，帶來了積極的回憶，這是巨大的，這是一個完整的循環，這是頂峰。
