A normal instrument...

一個正常樂器...

You're playing it and you're expecting it to have a sound that is pleasing.

你在彈奏它時，會希望它有令人愉悅的聲音。

But with an instrument like this, the goal is to just produce sounds that, in this case, are disturbing.

但像這樣的樂器，目的是要在這種情況下發出令人不安的聲音。

The Apprehension Engine was an instrument that creates a variety of really creepy and some would say horrifying sounds.

「恐懼引擎」是一種可以產生各種毛骨悚然聲音的樂器，有的人說是可怕的聲音。

My name is Mark Korven.

我叫 Mark Korven。

I'm a film music composer and lately, I've been focusing on horror movie scores.

我是電影音樂作曲家，最近主要在做恐怖電影的配樂。

Two of my biggest hits as far as horror films are concerned was from the late nineties, a film called Cube.

就恐怖電影而言，我做過最有名的兩部電影是九十年代後期的《魔方》。

And, most recently, The Witch.

最近的話是《女巫》。

I originally commissioned the Apprehension Engine because I was tired of the same digital samples, which resulted in a lot of sameness of a lot of horror musics.

我最初委託製作「恐懼引擎」是因為，我厭倦了相同的數位樣本，這導致很多恐怖音樂都一樣。

So, I was looking for something more experimental, more acoustic that would give me a little bit more of an original sound.

因此，我一直在找更具實驗性、更具原聲的東西，這些東西會給我更多原創聲音。

That's where I contacted my friend, Tony Duggan-Smith.

我也這樣認識了我朋友 Tony Duggan-Smith。

So, Mark called me asking me to create a crazy instrument for horror films.

Mark 打給我，叫我做出專為恐怖電影的瘋狂樂器。

Because I'd never done anything like that before, it made me empty out all my pockets and all my drawers of any knick-knacks and bits of bobs I could possibly string together to make it happen for him.

因為我以前從沒做過這樣的事，所以我掏空口袋和抽屜裡的任何小裝飾，和一些零零碎碎的東西，我才有可能幫他拼湊出來。

And this is what came of it.

而這就是完成品。

You're dealing with things that stir primal emotions and feelings.

你是在處理激起最初情感和感覺的事。

And there actually is a skill set that you have to acquire in order to get the most out of it.

其實，你還得要有一種技能才能發揮出最大的效用。

It expresses what really can't be expressed any other way.

它表達出其他樂器實際上無法表達的內容。

It's not music in the traditional sense, at all.

就傳統上來說，這完全不是音樂。

But, let me put this way.

但換句話說。

The Apprehension Engine definitely evokes an emotion, so I would call it music.

恐懼引擎絕對喚起了情緒，所以我會叫它音樂。
