All you need is an orchestra — and some magic | Jacob Collier and VSO School of Music Orchestra

你正在收听《每日TED演讲》，每天为你带来新想法，激发你的好奇心。

You're listening to TED Talks daily where we bring you new ideas to spark your curiosity every day.

我是主持人伊莉丝·胡。

I'm your host, Elise Hu.

我接下来要和台上的音乐家们一起创作一段从未排练过的音乐。

What I'm about to do with the musicians on stage is to create a piece of music for which we have had no rehearsal.

我们没有乐谱。

There was no sheet music.

我们之前完全没有讨论过任何计划或想法。

We have had no plan or pride discussion of any kind.

所以你们谁都不知道接下来会发生什么。

So none of you know what's about to happen.

你们完全猜不到接下来会发生什么。

None of you have any idea what's about to happen.

这位是雅各布·科利尔，七次格莱美奖得主，多乐器演奏家，也是当今乐坛充满欢乐能量的代表人物。

That's Jacob Collier, seven time Grammy winner, multi instrumentalist, and a hugely joyful force in music today.

他擅长在别人想不到的地方发现音乐，并让房间里所有人都放下隔阂，一起参与即兴创作。

He's known for finding music in places most people wouldn't think to look and forgetting everyone who's in the room with him to participate in collective music making.

你刚才听到的不是什么理论设想。

What you just heard isn't a description of a concept.

这是实打实发生在TED舞台上的事，参与者是VSO音乐学校乐团。

It's actually what happened live on the TED stage with the VSO School of Music Orchestra.

科勒经常走进满是陌生人的剧院，稍加引导，就能让所有人听起来像同一个合唱团的成员。

Collier is known for walking into a theater full of strangers and with a little conducting, making them sound like they've always been part of the same choir.

他曾经对成千上万的观众这样做过。

He's done it with audiences of thousands.

他在世界各地的音乐厅都做过这样的事。

He's done it in concert halls around the world.

奇怪的是，每次都能成功。

And somehow, every time, it works.

刚才就是其中一次。

This is one of those times.

你准备好了吗？

Are you ready?

准备好了吗？

Are ready?

是的。

Yeah.

这才是正确的答案。

It's the correct answer.

短暂停顿后马上开始。

It's coming up right after a short break.

人工智能到底存在于哪里？

Where does AI actually live?

它可能就在你所在的城市里。

It might be somewhere in your city.

它正在给电网带来压力，推高你的电费，还大量消耗水资源。

And it's stressing your grid, driving up your utility bill, and draining your water.

我是谢瑞尔·多西，本月在TED科技节目中，我们将深入探索人工智能革命背后那些不为人知的基础设施——数据中心。

I'm Cherelle Dorsey, and this month on TED Tech, we're going inside the hidden infrastructure behind the AI revolution, data centers.

这不仅是一个关于人工智能的故事，也是一个关于权力的故事。

This is a story about AI, but it's also a story about power.

谁掌握着这些权力？

Who has it?

谁在为它买单？

Who pays for it?

谁又在承受这些后果？

And who faces the consequences?

敬请收听TED科技频道的特别系列节目。

Listen to the special series only on TED Tech.

我接下来要和台上的音乐家们共同创作一段音乐，我们从未排练过，没有乐谱，也没有任何形式的讨论或计划。

What I'm about to do with the musicians on stage is to create a piece of music for which we have had no rehearsal, there was no sheet music, we have had no plan or pride discussion of any kind.

所以，你们谁都不知道接下来会发生什么。

So none of you know what's about to happen.

你们完全猜不到接下来会发生什么。

None of you have any idea what's about to happen.

不多说了，我们开始吧。

And without further ado, let's begin.

你们准备好了吗？

Are you ready?

准备好了。

Yes.

你们准备好了吗？

Are you ready?

准备好了。

Yes.

这才是正确的答案。

It's the correct answer.

先从小提琴开始。

Let's start with the violins.

请你演奏一个D音。

I'd like for you to play a d.

就是上面那个。

That one up there.

完美。

Perfect.

继续奏这个音。

Keep playing that.

你旁边奏一个A音。

You play an a next door.

你能奏一个G音吗？

Could you play a g?

就是这个。

That's the one.

再加一个D音。

And a d.

完美。

Perfecto.

太美了。

Gorgeous.

你能试试颤弓吗？

Can you try tremolando?

挺有意思的，对吧？

It's fun, isn't it?

回到用弓拉？

Back to arco?

不用颤弓更好。

No tremolando is better.

很棒。

Cool.

实际上，在跟你讲之前，先说一下中提琴。

Harp, actually, before I to you, violas.

中提琴。

Violas.

你能演奏一个G音吗？

Could you play a g?

你来演奏一个D音。

And you play a d.

好的。

Okay.

先停一下，别演奏了。

Stop playing for a second.

节奏就是这样的。

This is the tempo.

大家继续演奏。

Everyone, you guys keep playing.

节奏就是这样的。

This is the tempo.

接下来你们每个拍子都弹一下。

And we're gonna go you're just gonna play every beat.

就这样继续。

So it's gonna go.

完美。

Perfect.

太棒了。

Beautiful.

好的，竖琴。

Okay, harp.

从G大调开始，从竖琴最低音滑到最高音。

G major into a glissando from the bottom to the top of the harp.

一、二。

And one two.

真动听。

That's lovely.

再来一遍。

And again.

是的。

Yeah.

就是这种感觉。

It's that nice.

一、二。

One two.

对。

Yeah.

颤音琴，能在最高音处加一个音符吗？

Vibraphone, could you put a note on the top of that?

试试G音。

Try a g.

颤音琴的最高G音是哪个？

What's the highest g on the vibraphone?

这个不错。

That's a good one.

你能弹一下这个音，再加上上面的G吗？

Can you play that and the g above it?

再响亮一点。

Even louder.

一，二。

One, two.

太喜欢了。

Love that.

你们两位先停一下，其他人继续。

You two stop for a second, Everyone's keep going.

大提琴和长笛。

So cello and flute.

我们来听一下。

Let's see.

你弹三个音，你也弹三个音，行吗？

Could you play three notes and you play three notes?

你的这三个音要用弓拉。

So your three notes are arco.

音高是 G、升 F、E。

It's gonna be g f sharp e.

就像这样。

Like that.

你能做到吗？

Can you do that?

太好听了。

That's so lovely.

再来一遍。

And again.

再来。

And.

Floof，你能演奏一下吗？

Floof, can you play?

现在你来开始。

Now you're gonna go.

三，开始。

Three, go.

试着低一个八度。

Try octave lower.

开始。

Go.

这样更低了。

That's lower.

再试一次。

Here again.

再来一次。

Again.

开始。

Go.

继续。

Go.

好的。

Okay.

你们两个停一下。

You two stop.

其他人继续。

Everyone else keep going.

你们还得练好一阵子。

You're you're gonna be going for a while.

不好意思。

I'm sorry.

这种情况会重复两次。

So that happens two times.

两次。

Two times.

另外，这一段的后半部分是主旋律部分。

And the second half of the this is the verse, by the way.

主旋律的后半段是低音提琴、大提琴和单簧管。

Second half of verse is bass, cello, clarinet.

低音提琴部分，你要从G弦上的A音开始，往下演奏G大调音阶。

And the bass, you're gonna play down the g major scale starting on a, two on the g string.

是的。

Yeah.

没错。

Exactly.

所以你要这样演奏。

So you're gonna go.

继续下去。

Keep going.

D、C、B、两个A、G。

D, C, B, two, A, two, and G.

好的。

Okay.

停。

Stop.

太棒了。

That's wonderful.

完美极了。

That's superb.

一直往下奏。

So all the way down.

是的。

Yeah.

好的。

Okay.

单簧管，你能做同样的事吗？

Clarinet, can you do the same thing?

我们从C音开始，就是这个C音。

We're starting on c, concert c there.

这样清楚了吗？

So That make sense?

是的。

Yeah.

接下来你只吹D音。

And I'd like you to play just d.

然后这个音贯穿整个段落。

Then that goes through the whole thing.

我能听听这个音吗？

Can I can I hear the note?

对，就是这样。

Exactly.

是的

Yeah.

好

Okay.

所以你想在A音和C音上练一练。

So you want to do some on a, on c.

一、二、三，开始。

One, two, three, go.

真好听。

That's lovely.

不错嘛。

That's not bad.

太棒了，干得漂亮。

Beautiful, beautiful work.

我的意思是，真的很不错。

So I mean, it's really good.

好的。

Okay.

继续弹。

Keep playing.

继续弹。

Keep playing.

当你们弹到G音的时候，你们两个就重新开始。

So when you land on that g, when they land on the g, then you two start again.

这样就形成一个循环了。

So it kind of loops around.

这样清楚吗？

Does that make sense?

就像这样。

So, like that.

整个这一段要重复两遍。

That whole thing happens twice.

那我们来完整地试一遍。

So let's let's try the whole thing.

我们把整段歌词从头到尾走一遍。

Let's try the verse all the way through.

开头我们要加一点竖琴声。

We're gonna add some harp at the beginning.

等我信号一到就开始，看看咱们能不能顺利走完这一遍。

So play on my signal, and let's see if we can get the way through this.

一、二，一、二。

So one, two, one, two.

停。

Stop.

好。

Okay.

给这些音乐家们鼓个掌吧。

Give these musicians a round of applause.

现在开始。

On now.

对。

Yeah.

太棒了。

Fantastic.

太棒了。

Fantastic.

这就是我们的主歌，但每首好歌都得有个副歌。

So that will be our verse, but every good song has a chorus.

这就是我们的副歌。

So this will be our chorus.

铜管组，你们跟得上吗？

Brass, are you with me?

好。

Okay.

太棒了。

Sweet.

我们有大号、小号、长号和圆号。

And we've tuba, we've got trumpets, trombone, horn.

哦，你有军鼓吗？

Oh, you got have you got a snare drum?

是的。

Oh, yeah.

你有军鼓、低音鼓和镲片。

You got a snare drum and a kick drum and a cymbal.

你今天可是身兼两职啊。

You're you're on double duty today.

好的。

Okay.

太棒了。

Fantastic.

副歌部分，我打算从长号一、小号一和圆号开始。

So for the chorus, I wanna start with trombone one, trumpet one, and horn.

你们每人有三个音，每个音要弹两遍。

And you have three notes each, and you play those three notes twice each.

长号部分是G、A、D，这样对吗？

So trombone, go g a d or in trombone that's is that right?

来听一遍。

Let's hear it.

完全正确。

Exactly right.

小号部分是G、G、F#。

Trumpet, your part is g g f sharp.

对。

Yeah.

圆号部分是B、C#、D。

And horn, your part is B, C sharp, D.

对吧？

Right?

所以，这是圆号的部分。

So, that's in horn.

是的。

Yeah.

你能听到吗？

Can you hear it?

二、三，开始。

Two, three, go.

再来一次，二、三，开始。

And again, two, three, go.

听起来真好听。

That sounds lovely.

听起来特别棒。

That sounds really great.

我有两个地方想调整一下。

So I have two changes I wanna make to that.

第一个改动是你要把音量加大五倍，第二个是加点打击乐。

The the first change is I want you to do it five times louder, and the second change, I wanna add some percussion.

你能来一段军鼓滚奏吗？

So could you play a snare drum roll?

然后在同一个节拍上同时敲响低音鼓和镲片。

So it's like And then hit the kick drum and cymbal at the same time.

你能自己单独完成这一段吗？

Can I can you just do that by yourself?

从第三拍开始滚军鼓，正好落在第一拍上。

So do the snare drum roll on beat three to land on beat one.

就是一、二、三，然后就这样。

So it goes one, two, three, and There you go.

还不错。

It's pretty good.

这就跟我讲了个笑话，结果自己都没想出来。

It's just like I told a joke, but I couldn't think of one.

好的。

Okay.

你就这么做，正好落在铜管乐那段上，然后重复两次。

So you're gonna do that and land on this brass thing, and you're gonna do that thing twice.

咱们先试试这个。

So let's let's just try that.

咱们来一遍， drums 加大音量，响到超出了 TED 剧场该有的程度。

Let's try that with drums and, like, really loud, like, louder than is responsible for the TED Theater.

好的。

Okay.

准备好了吗？

Ready?

一、二、三，然后。

So one, two, three, and.

二、三，开始。

Two, three, go.

刚才够响了吗？

Was that loud enough for you?

差不多吧？

Just about?

好的。

Okay.

所以副歌的后半部分是哪些乐器？

So the second half of the chorus is who's left?

大号、长号、小号。

Tuba, trombone, trumpet.

大号，你能吹七个音吗？

Tuba, can you play seven notes?

不过别担心，这几个音是连着的。

But don't worry, they're like in a sequence.

你接下来要弹 G、F#、E、D、C，这全是 G 大调的音阶，然后接 D 和 G。

You're gonna go g, f sharp e d c, which is all the g major scale, and then d g.

所以，你明白了吧？

So it's like, you got it?

二、三，开始。

Two, three, go.

大号手真是太棒了。

Tubers are so great.

我特别喜欢大号手。

I love tubers.

完了。

Death.

还不错。

It's good.

感觉挺棒的。

It's good vibes.

长号。

Trombone.

你能演奏 B-A-G-G-C-C-B 吗？

Could you go b a g g c c b.

对吧？

Right?

很好。

Good.

真的很不错。

It's It's good.

接下来小号，你能吹一下半音阶吗？

And then trumpet, could you play chromatic?

从 D 开始，D，这段旋律有点隐蔽，挺巧妙的。

So it starts on d, d, and it goes it's a sneaky little part.

就像这样。

It goes, Like that.

这说得通。

That makes sense.

从D开始往上到F，再回到D。

Starting on d up to f and back to d.

非常纯净。

Pristine.

不过你要低一个八度，低一个八度。

You do octave lower though, octave lower.

咱们一起合奏一次。

And let's hit everyone together.

你们三位一起。

Three of you together.

一、二、三，开始。

So one, two, three, go.

这完全是我的问题。

That's totally my bad.

小号减半速，减半速。

Half speed trumpet, half speed.

是吗？

Yeah?

好的。

Okay.

一、二、三。

One, two, three.

太美了。

That's gorgeous.

真动听。

That's lovely.

你表现得非常好。

You're doing so well.

你表现得非常好。

You're doing so well.

所以整个部分也要重复两遍。

So that whole thing happens twice as well.

主歌部分重复两次，然后副歌也重复两次。

So the verse happens twice, and then the then the chorus happens twice.

鼓点只在第一次出现的时候才有。

And and the drums are only the only the first that first time.

副歌重复的时候别用鼓滚，但还是要打那个重音，这样清楚吗？

And on the repeat of the chorus, don't do the drum roll, but do do the hit and the does that make sense?

好的。

K.

她太棒了。

She she's amazing.

那好吧。

So okay.

明白了。

That makes sense.

接下来，我们马上回到小提琴部分，做好准备。

And after that, we're gonna go straight back to the violins, so be ready.

对。

Yeah.

大家都有自己的任务吗？

Does everyone have something to do?

好。

Okay.

你其实没什么事可做。

Well, you don't have something to do.

你当初该说不的。

You should've said no.

好。

Okay.

那我给你安排个任务。

So I'm gonna give you a part.

你的部分很简单。

Your part is really simple.

就是‘Can I hear that?’这一句。

It goes Can I hear that?

再大声一点。

Much louder than that.

开始吧。

Go.

你演奏得有点醉醺醺的。

You're doing it like more drunkenly.

准备好了吗？

Ready?

对，就是这个感觉。

And That's exactly the vibe.

我要的就是这种感觉。

That's the vibe I'm talking about.

等我一打信号，你就唱‘Sublime’。

So on my signal, you go Sublime.

对。

Right.

我这边也有段词，不过你还没听过。

Now I have a part too, but you don't know that part yet.

咱们从头开始，你唱完你的部分，一直唱到结尾，整首歌就结束了。

But we're gonna do it from the top of the song, and then you're gonna do your part, and we'll get to the end of the song, and then we'll be at the end.

那会挺伤感的。

That'll be sad.

先来小提琴，接着中提琴、竖琴的氛围，然后大提琴、长笛、单簧管、贝斯、合唱、观众、节奏，再来一遍节奏。

So we'll do violins, and then violas, and harp vibes, and then cello flute, clarinet, drum bass, chorus, audience, groove, groove.

好。

Okay.

太棒了。

Great.

我觉得我们可以开始了。

I think we're ready.

大家都准备好了吗？

Is everybody ready?

准备好了。

Yes.

这才是正确的答案。

It's the correct answer.

好。

Okay.

准备好了吗？

Ready?
