The polyphonic me | Beardyman

Prevodilac: Stefan Zrnović Lektor: Tatjana Jevdjic

I'd like you all

Voleo bih da svi

to ask yourselves a question

postavite sebi pitanje

which you may never have asked yourselves before:

koje možda nikada sebi niste postavili:

What is possible with the human voice?

šta je sve moguće sa ljudskim glasom?

What is possible with the human voice?

Šta je moguće sa ljudskim glasom?

(Lavež psa)

Yeah.

Da.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

(Boomerang noises)

(Zvuci bumeranga)

It was coming straight for me. I had to. It was, yeah.

Išlo je pravo prema meni. Morao sam. Da.

As you can probably well imagine,

Kao što verovatno možete da pretpostavite

I was a strange child.

bio sam čudno dete.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Because the thing is, I was constantly trying

Jer, zapravo sam stalno pokušavao

to extend my repertoire of noises to be

da proširim svoj repertoar zvukova

the very maximum that it could be.

do svog mogućeg maksimuma.

I was constantly experimenting with these noises.

Stalno sam eksperimentisao sa tim zvukovima.

And I'm still on that mission.

I još uvek to radim.

I'm still trying to find every noise

I dalje pokušavam da nađem svaki zvuk

that I can possibly make.

koji mogu da napravim.

And the thing is, I'm a bit older and wiser now,

A zapravo, sad sam malo stariji i mudriji,

and I know that there's some noises

i znam da postoje neki zvuci

I'll never be able to make because I'm hemmed in

koje nikada neću biti u stanju da napravim jer me ograničava

by my physical body, and there's things it can't do.

moje telo, a i postoje stvari koje ne umem da uradim.

And there's things that no one's voice can do.

A postoje i stvari koje ničiji glas ne može da napravi.

Na primer, niko ne može da stvori dva tona u isto vreme.

For example, no one can do two notes at the same time.

You can do two-tone singing,

Možete stvoriti bitonalno pevanje,

which monks can do, which is like...

koje monasi mogu, što zvuči otprilike...

(Two-tone singing)

(Bitonalno pevanje)

But that's cheating.

Ali to je varanje.

And it hurts your throat.

I dere vam grlo.

So there's things you can't do, and these limitations

Dakle, postoje stvari koje ne možete da uradite, ali ta ograničenja

on the human voice have always really annoyed me,

ljudskog glasa su me istinski nervirala,

because beatbox is the best way of getting

jer bitboks je najbolji način puštanja

musical ideas out of your head and into the world,

muzičkih ideja iz vaše glave u svet,

but they're sketches at best,

ali one su samo skice

which is what's annoyed me.

što me je takođe nerviralo.

If only, if only there was a way

Kad bi samo postojao način

for these ideas to come out unimpeded

da te ideje izađu neometano

by the restrictions which my body gives it.

bez ograničenja koje stvara moje telo.

So I've been working with these guys,

Radio sam sa ovim momcima

and we've made a machine.

i napravili smo mašinu.

We've made a system which is basically

Stvorili smo sistem koji je zapravo

a live production machine,

mašina žive produkcije,

a real-time music production machine,

realna mašina žive produkcije

and it enables me to, using nothing but my voice,

koja mi omogućava da, koristeći samo svoj glas,

create music in real time as I hear it in my head

stvaram muziku u realnom vremenu kako je čujem u glavi

unimpeded by any physical restrictions

neometanu blio kakvom fizičkom preprekom

that my body might place on me.

koju moje telo može da stvori.

And I'm going to show you what it can do.

Pokazaću vam šta može da uradi.

And before I start making noises with it,

Pre nego što počnem da stvaram zvukove sa njom

and using it to manipulate my voice,

i da je koristim da upravljam svojim glasom,

I want to reiterate that everything that you're about to hear

želim da ponovim da je sve što ćete čuti

is being made by my voice.

stvoreno mojim glasom.

This system has --

Ovaj sistem nema –

thank you, beautiful assistant --

hvala vam, predivni asistentu –

this system has no sounds in it itself

Ovaj sistem nema zvukove u sebi

until I start putting sounds in it,

dok ja ne počnem da ih stavljam u njega

so there's no prerecorded samples of any kind.

Tako da ne postoje prethodno snimljene matrice bilo kakve vrste.

So once this thing really gets going,

Kada jednom ovo počne da radi

and it really starts to mangle the audio I'm putting into it,

i prilično počne da seče zvuke koje stavljam u nju,

it becomes not obvious that it is the human voice,

nije očigledno da je u pitanju ljudski glas,

but it is, so I'm going to take you through it bit by bit

ali jeste, te ću vas delimično sprovesti kroz mašinu

and start nice and simple.

i početi fino i jednostavno.

So the polyphony problem: I've only got one voice.

Problem višeglasja: imam samo jedan glas.

How do I get around the problem

Kako rešavam poteškoću

of really wanting to have as many different voices

istinske želje da imam što više različitih tonova

going on at the same time.

koji se stvaraju u isto vreme.

The simplest way to do it is something like this.

Najjednostavniji način da to uradim je nešto poput ovog.

(Beatboxing)

(Bitboksovanje)

By dancing. It's like this.

Igranjem. Recimo ovako.

(Music)

(Muzika)

Thanks.

Hvala.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

So that's probably the easiest way.

Ovo je verovatno najjednostavniji način.

But if you want to do something a little bit more immediate,

Ali ako želite da uradite nešto malo brže,

something that you can't achieve with live looping,

nešto što ne možete postići lupingom uživo,

there's other ways to layer your voice up.

postoje drugačiji načini da kamuflirate svoj glas.

There's things like pitch-shifting,

Postoje stvari poput nameštanja visine tona (pitch shifting),

which are awesome,

što je sjajno,

and I'm going to show you now what that sounds like.

i pokazaću vam sad kako to zvuči.

So I'm going to start another beat for you, like this.

Počeću sa drugim tonom za vas, poput ovog.

(Beatboxing)

(Bitboksing)

There's always got to be a bit of a dance at the start,

Uvek mora biti malo igranja na početku,

because it's just fun, so

jer je zabavno, pa

you can clap along if you want.

možete pljeskati ukoliko želite.

You don't have to. It's fine. Check it out.

Ne morate. U redu je. Vidite ovo.

I'm going to lay down a bass sound now.

Sad ću ubaciti zvuk basa.

(Music)

(Muzika)

And now, a rockabilly guitar.

A sad, električna gitara.

Which is nice. But what if I want to make, say, a -- (Applause) --

Što je lepo. Ali šta ako želim da napravim, recimo – (Aplauz)

Thanks. What if I want to make, say, a rock organ?

Hvala. Šta ako želim da napravilm, recimo, rok orgulje?

Is that possible? Yes, it is,

Da li je moguće? Da, jeste,

by recording myself like this.

snimanjem mene ovako.

(Organ sound)

(Zvuk orgulja)

And now I have that, I have that recorded.

Sad imam to snimljeno.

Assign it to a keyboard.

Staviću to u klavijaturu.

(Music)

(Muzika)

So that's cool.

To je kul.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

But what if I wanted to sound like the whole of Pink Floyd?

Ali šta ako bih želeo da zvučim kao čitav sastav Pink Flojda?

Impossible, you say. No.

Nemoguće, reći ćete. Ne.

It is possible, and you can do it very simply

Moguće je i možete to uraditi veoma jednostavno

using this machine. It's really fantastic. Check it out.

koristeći ovu mašinu. Zaista je fantastično. Poslušajte ovo.

(Music)

(Muzika)

So every noise you can hear there is my voice.

Svaki zvuk koji možete čuti ovde je moj glas.

I didn't just trigger something which sounds like that.

Nisam samo uključio nešto što zvuči kao to.

There's no samples. There's no synthesizers.

Nema uzoraka. Nema sintisajzera.

Bukvalno to je samo moj obrađeni glas.

That is literally all my voice being manipulated,

and when you get to that point, you have to ask, don't you,

Kada dođete do te tačke, treba da pitate, zar ne,

what's the point?

u čemu je poenta?

Why do this? (Laughter)

Zašto raditi ovo? (Smeh)

Because it's cheaper than hiring the whole of Pink Floyd,

Jer je jeftinije nego unajmiti čitav Pink Flojd,

I suppose, is the easy answer.

pretpostavljam da je jednostavan odgovor.

But in actual fact, I haven't made this machine

Ali u stvari, nisam napravio ovu mašinu

so that I can emulate things that already exist.

da bih oponašao stvari koje već postoje.

I've made this so that I can make

Napravio sam ovo kako bih mogao da stvorim

any noise that I can imagine.

bilo koji zvuk koji mogu da zamislim.

So with your permission, I'm going to do

Sa vašom dozvolom, uradiću

some things that are in my mind,

neke stvari koje su u mojoj glavi

and I hope you enjoy them,

i nadam se da ćete uživati u njima

because they're rather unusual,

jer su neuobičajene,

especially when you're doing things which are

posebno kad radite stvari koje su

as unusual as this, it can be hard to believe

atipične kao ove, može biti teško da se shvati

that it is all my voice, you see.

da je sve ovo moj glas.

(Voice effects)

(Efekti glasa)

(Music)

(Muzika)

Like this.

Kao ovo.

(Music)

(Muzika)

So, loosely defined,

Slobodno rečeno,

that is what's possible with the human voice.

to je ono što je moguće sa ljudskim glasom.

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

Hvala vam puno, dame i gospodo.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)
