English: 
I'll play it again.
It's a sound effect called an
orchestra hit.
Bruno Mars, he's the king
of nostalgia and he used that effect in
"Finesse" to take you back to the 80's.
Take a listen to any pop, dance, or hip hop
song in the 80's or 90's and you're gonna
hear a version of it.
There are all types of orchestral hits.

Chinese: 
聽這個聲音
你聽到了嗎 ?  我再撥放一次
這個聲音我們叫做 ORCHESTRA HIT
(打擊交響樂)
懷舊之王布魯諾  他把這個聲音用在
"Finesse" 這首歌中 並且帶你回到80年代
聽看看任何的流行歌曲  舞曲 或者Hiphop 歌曲
在 80 90 年代 你會聽到這樣的版本
(Michale Jackson - Dangerous 1991)
(Eurythmcs - Beethoven)
(YES- Owner of A Lonely Heart)
(Jacknet Jackson- When I Think of You 1986)
他們全部都是打擊交響樂的音樂類型

Chinese: 
但最原始的聲音 是這個
這並不是這幾十年來的事情  事實上
他第一次被播放在1910年的巴黎歌劇院
我們充滿感激的聽到我們這個時代
最棒的作曲家 Stravinsky 藉由他的音樂
表現出他對音樂的
敏銳度與冀望 這絕對沒辦法只使用充滿譜線本子記錄下來
這是二十世紀俄羅斯最有名的作曲家Igor Stravinsky 影片中他已經八十歲了
但她第一次為Fire Suite作曲的時候.... 他只有 ...
28歲  天啊
在他成人的期間
世界非常戲劇化的轉變了兩三次
他是Robert Fink

English: 
But the original one, this one here.
Isn't from a few decades ago. In fact it was
first played in 1910 at the Paris Opera.
We can thankfully hear
the greatest
composer of our time, Stravinsky, performing
his own works.
Telling us all those
subtleties of his musical wishes and
intentions, which could never be fully
documented in the cold black print of a
score.
This is the famed 20th century Russian
composer Igor Stravinsky. He's about 80
years old here, but when he first
composed the Firebird Suite he was...
28 years old. Holy sh*t.
And during his adult life the
world changed dramatically, two or three
times.
That's Robert Fink, he wrote a

English: 
history of that sound you just heard.
Firebird is his first major successful
piece it made his reputation. Everybody
loved the Firebird. Stravinsky is like
one of those rock stars who has one huge
hit early on in their career and then
they have to play that song every
concert for the rest of their lives.
He adjusted the score a bit over the
years but the jarring opener of one of
the last scenes in the ballet remained
one of Firebird's most dramatic moments.
Right, because what it is is it's
basically a gesture for the orchestra.
It shocks the hell out of you, in
the context of the original piece.
So how
did that --
become so ubiquitous that in
1992, NWA said this about it on
Straight Out of Compton?
To figure that
out you have to go to Australia.
I'm Peter Vogel, I developed the first
commercial sampling synthesizer which

Chinese: 
他寫下你聽到的那個聲音的歷史
FIREBIRD SUITE 他奠定了 Stravinsky 的聲譽  大家都喜歡FIRE BEIRD
Stravinsky 對他們來說就是一個巨大的搖滾巨星  一個巨大的衝擊在他們早期的
職業生涯中 後來他們後來的生活中開始不斷的演奏FIREBIRD
他在幾年調整了譜線但是一開始的震耳裕隆的開場聲最有戲劇性的瞬間
沒錯  因為這就是交響樂團最基本的標記
用最根本的音符 會震撼你的內心
所以....
他又是如何變成如此普及像是
N
WA 在1992年的沖出康普頓一樣火紅?
我們要去澳洲找出原因
我是Peter Vogel (Fairlight 儀器)  我發展出了第一台商用取樣合成器

Chinese: 
大約在1975年的時候 叫做Fairlight 電腦音樂器
另外夥伴是(Kim Ryire)   這是Fairlight CMI
這是Fairlight CMI
這是在過去100年中最有影響力的音樂儀器發明
他是整合了最簡單的數位混和器 數位音效工作站 與 數位取樣器 三種能力
藉由這台電腦的協助
可以創造出在你腦袋中的音樂
這是比你真的去打擊樂器還要簡單的事情
這真的是一個輕鬆又方便的東西
你可以看到這個   這是一台厲害的機器
我並不知道我們這裡有沒有相機呢?
噢 他已經在這裡了  原諒我
可以看到這裡表現出來了一個聲音  如圖所示
幫我一個忙  讓大家看一下在Omaha的銷售額 (笑話)
最重要的兩件事情是去介紹這台儀器
是可以視覺化音樂次序性以及數位的取樣
這是第一個儀器
具有音樂的排序螢幕 那樣就可以讓我們的作曲更複雜

English: 
was the Fairlight CMI back in about 1975.
The other person who was involved was
Kim Ryrie.
This is the Fairlight CMI. To put it
simply it's one of the most influential
musical innovations of the past 100
years. It was one of the very first
digital synthesizers, a digital audio
workstation, and the first digital sampler
all in one.
With the aid of computers, you
could create the music that you had in
your head a lot more easily than if you
had to sit down and learn to play
instruments from scratch.
It was really a
lazy shortcut.
You got to see this
unbelievable machine, I don't even know if we can
get a camera back here?
Or do we have a camera?
Oh he's back here already. Forgive me.
This is showing one of the sounds, what the pattern looks like.
Do me a favor: punch up let's see how the
sales are in Omaha.
The two major things
that it introduced to music production
were visual sequencing and digital
sampling.
It was the first instrument
that had a screen based sequencer, that
allowed you to actually compose complex

Chinese: 
每一個音符 你都可以藉由機器為你撥放
這叫做 Page R.
這是Heribie Hancock 為了 Quincy Jones 所表現的
有兩個方法去操作 :
你可以選擇寫在螢幕上面  或者是  直接在琴鍵上輸入
看著  假使你現在寫在螢幕上面    ...
這樣的工具今天已經簡單到大家都可以利用它  天啊 我可以我可以直接在我的I PHONE 上面做排序鼓點的動作
早在80年代  排序音樂就已經被發掘出來了
這是一個方式使得
Fairlight 的介面上在它的時代異常的超前
簡直就像星際迷航 (Star Trek) 一樣  對吧?
你正在使用觸碰筆直接在陰極射線管(舊式電腦螢幕)上寫字
大家  這個世界正在發光
很多的音樂家慢慢開始使用它 並且變成Fairlight 的愛好者
Stevie Wonder 是我第一個在美國(LA)的客戶
後來大家在工作室聚集起來 有人就說
嘿 我知道有一個人會對這東西很有興趣

English: 
pieces of music, have the machine play it
for you.
It was called Page R.
Here's Herbie Hancock demonstrating it
for Quincy Jones.
And there's two ways to do it:
you can either write it on the screen
or you can play it on a keyboard. Oh okay.
See, now if you write it on a screen...
This is a tool that anyone
today can take advantage of. Hell, I can
sequence a drum pattern on my iPhone.
In the early 80's sequencing like this was a
revelation.
There is a way in which the
Fairlight's interface is incredibly far
ahead of its time.
I mean it's like a
Star Trek thing, right? You're using a
light pen to write on a cathode ray tube.
Do something with a light pen.
Well the world is going crazy ladies and gentlemen.
Many of the musicians who used
it sort of became the Fairlight's
ambassador.
Stevie Wonder was the first
person I delivered one to in the United States
and then people in the studio
would gather around and they said hey I
know someone would be really interested
to see this.

English: 
Next thing you know he's in London setting one up
for Peter Gabriel.
He introduced me to
Kate Bush, there were some guys from Led
Zeppelin there.
What really made the
Fairlight a game-changer, though, was the
digital sampler.
You could hook up a
microphone to the Fairlight, record any
second of sound, and then play it at any
pitch on the keyboard.
The Fairlight also
came with a stock library of sounds too,
on giant 8-inch floppy disks.
So we started off with maybe one floppy disk
with 50 different sounds on it.
People who were using it would send us back
floppies and say hey look at these
samples I've created.
While working
on the basic song ideas, Gabriel was also
compiling a library of sounds which he
might use on the album.
For this he used
a computerized instrument called a Fairlight.

Chinese: 
後來你知道的  他去了倫敦並且拜訪了 Peter Garbriel
他介紹了我認識
Kate Bush 那裏有一些人來自 齊柏林飛船 (樂團)
Fairelight 在數位取樣上
真的是一個打破了遊戲規則的東西
你可以拿著麥克風
對著Fairlight 錄下任何你想要的聲音  接著讓電腦撥放出來
(芝麻街 SESAME STREET 1983)
然後錄下第二個聲音  它可以幫你抓他在鋼琴鍵上的位置
Fairlight 變成聲音被儲存在八英寸磁碟片內並收藏在圖書館的庫存裡
我們開始著手錄製聲音
也許一片磁碟有五十種聲音在裡面
那些想要使用這些聲音的人就會寄到我們這
然後說 嘿 這些聲音是我發明的
當對於歌曲的基本概念 Gabriel 也負責編譯圖書館的收藏的聲音
並且用在他的專輯上
他利用了Fairlight電腦儀器設備  就像這個 ...

English: 
Peter Gabriel actually broke the glass
and Kate Bush used it in her music.
There were baby screeches, smashes, drips,
and rotary dials.
And then there was the
orchestra hit.
Ironically the the orchestra hit was a
complete accident which was sampled by
me.
I just happened to have a vinyl
recording of the Stravinsky Firebird Suite
nearby when I was messing around.
That Orchestra hit, which I think was
right at the beginning of one of the
tracks.
And I thought alright it's a good sound.

Chinese: 
1 ... 2 ... 3 ...4 (敲碎螢幕玻璃的聲音)
PETER GARBIEL 事實上他敲破了玻璃 而 Kate Bush 使用了這樣的聲音
(碎玻璃聲)
小孩尖叫聲  衝撞聲 水滴聲 還有 撥打電話轉盤的聲音
接著來到了
打擊交響樂
好笑的是 打擊交響樂
完全是一場取樣上的意外
我有一張Stravinsky Fiebird Suite的黑膠唱片 就在我旁邊
我幫放了Orchestra hit
而我以為我是從頭開始撥放 然後就出現了這個 (聲音)
我覺得它是一個很棒的聲音

English: 
Peter called the sound orch2 and put it on an
eight inch floppy disk full of those
other stock sounds.
Planet Rock
was the first smash hit record to use orch2. In the first two seconds of the song
it's used five times.
So the thing that
you can know immediately about Planet Rock
is that 50,000 people copied it.
That 8-bit Orchestra hit started popping
up in all sorts of songs.

Chinese: 
Peter 叫做這個聲音 Orch 2 然後 放進 磁碟片裡面然後
跟其他的聲音保存在一起
(AFRIKA BAMBAATAA - Planet Rock 1982)
顯然的 .. 有很多人愛這個聲音
 
(AFRIKA BAMBAATAA - Planet Rock 1982)
Planet Rock 是第一首使用Orch 2 的歌 在歌曲前一兩秒的時候
它出現了五次
(Billboard 雜誌 1982年)
關於這件事情 你可以直接的了解到的
就是Planet Rock 有 50000人 模仿它
8位元的打擊交響樂 敲響了
所有類型的音樂
(Keith Sweaf-I Want Her)
(Duran Duran-A View To Kill)
(The Smiths-Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me)
(Martronix-Needle to the groove)

Chinese: 
(New Order- Bizzere Love Triangle)
Fairlight 在幾年間變的普及
所有類型的合成器和取樣機隨著orch2的聲音庫存越來越多元
藉由新的科技他們得到乾淨又清脆的聲音
可以聽到 幫助過 Bitney Spear 與 Back Street Boys 的Swedish 製作人 Max Martin 聽到Orch hit的轉變
但是最原版的Orch2取樣 保持了最原版的特色
而這也是為什麼Bruno Mars 要使用它 
或至少最原版的呈現在 Finesse 歌曲中
或至少最原版的呈現在 Finesse 歌曲中
當你聽到 Orchestra hit 你會聽到一些非常80年代中期的聲音 其實你聽到的是
是來自一群1909年的人們的想法
這就像一個有著不同時代交織的時光
這是永存的事情

English: 
Within a few years of the Fairlight
being around, all sorts of synths and
samplers came with a stock variation of
the orch2 hit. And they got crisper and
cleaner with new technology.
You can hear that transformation in the
hit Swedish producer Max Martin made
with Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys.
But that original orch2 sample, it
remains the most iconic. And it's
probably why Bruno Mars used it,
or at least a very close simulation of it, in Finesse.
When you hear that orchestra hit,
you're hearing something which is very
much about the middle 1980's. It's
actually something that was first
thought of by a guy in 1909.
It's like a moment where a whole bunch of times are
sewn together.
It is kind of timeless.

Chinese: 
這是那張Orch2 取樣出來的的黑膠唱片
當時付了6.99美金 所以這真的是很久以前的事情了
 
所以這裡有三個連結在下方
一個是Rober Fink的網頁
另外一個是 Fairlight 儀器公司的 iphone app
那另外我也做了
打擊交響樂的撥放清單在Spotify
盡情享受吧!

English: 
That is the actual piece of vinyl that
orch2 was sampled off.
So you can tell it was a long time ago when you paid, $6.99
for a record.
So there are three links
that are in the description below, one to
Robert Fink's paper,
another to a Fairlight CMI iPhone app which Peter Vogel
helped create,
Last but not least I made
an orchestra hit playlist on Spotify.
Enjoy it.
