愛好音樂的人都明白寫樂譜、把音樂作品分享給其他演奏者有多不容易。

00:00:08.526 --> 00:00:13.773
Computer software already exists that helps you write out the notes, but that is so yesterday.
已經有電腦軟體幫助你寫下音符，但那已經落伍了。

00:00:14.224 --> 00:00:18.953
If you want to take scoring to a new level, there's an app for that. Here's Nick Glass. 
如果你想把記譜帶到一個新層次，現在有應用程式可以幫你做到。尼克．葛拉斯帶來報導。

I'm Sven Ahlback. I live in Stockholm. I'm a fiddle player. That's how I define myself.
我是斯溫．歐貝克，住在斯德哥爾摩。我是一名小提琴手，這是我給自己的定位。

5
00:00:40.541 --> 00:00:48.383
Folk musician, composer, professor and inventor -- Sven Ahlback has a surprising number of strings to his bow.
民謠音樂家、作曲家、教授和發明家——斯溫．歐貝克的才華多得不得了。

I wanted to know to what degree is music really an [a] universal language.
我想知道音樂是世界共通語言的真實程度到哪裡。

7
00:00:56.307 --> 00:01:01.391
It began with him writing the computer program about the structure of music and how we hear it,
一切始於他撰寫有關音樂結構及我們聆聽方式的電腦程式，

8
00:01:01.911 --> 00:01:06.256
and that led almost by accident to a discovery in 2002.
然後幾乎是意外地導向了二○○二年的一個發現。

00:01:08.761 --> 00:01:11.169
Our product is called ScoreCloud.

10
00:01:11.247 --> 00:01:19.115
Our approach of this program is to play music and get the notations created from what you play.
我們對這個程式的設想是，你演奏音樂，然後就能得到出自你演奏的音樂的樂譜。

11
00:01:20.084 --> 00:01:25.337
In other words, you sing, play or hum a tune, and out comes an instant score.
換句話說，你唱歌、演奏或哼個曲子，就會有即時的樂譜跑出來。

12
00:01:30.882 --> 00:01:34.512
I'm that kind of guy who gets songs in my head all the time.
我是那種總是有歌曲在腦子裡浮現的人。

13
00:01:34.740 --> 00:01:39.126
Once you get them in your head, you feel that this is... might be the next big hit.
一旦我從腦子裡把曲子譜寫出來，就覺得這是……也許是下一首熱門歌曲，

14
00:01:39.404 --> 00:01:43.193
And then it's [there's] almost no limit to how fast it to [can] be notated. 
然後最好能儘快把它譜寫下來。

15
00:01:54.009 --> 00:01:59.501
And I was just improvising, playing music, not thinking about the notation.
我只是即興演奏音樂，不用想記譜的事。

16
00:01:59.687 --> 00:02:06.479
For one second, I double-clicked on the recording [and] suddenly have the notation here.
只要一秒，我用滑鼠點擊兩次錄音鍵，忽然這裡就有了樂譜。

17
00:02:06.573 --> 00:02:10.461
I can now communicate to people around the world.
我現在可以跟全世界的人溝通。

18
00:02:10.551 --> 00:02:16.164
It can be read by someone in China who plays the piano as well as my friend next door.
樂譜可以給某個在中國彈鋼琴的人看，住我隔壁的朋友也可以。

Now a team of ten is developing the technology.
現在有一組十個人的團隊在開發這項科技。

21
00:02:25.794 --> 00:02:28.401
For now, we have like a quarter of a million users.
目前我們有大約二十五萬名使用者。

22
00:02:28.482 --> 00:02:38.394
If we think about the number of people who define themselves as musicians in some way, we're talking about around 500 million people around the world.
如果我們試想那些在某方面自認是音樂人的人，全世界來說大約會有五億人。

23
00:02:38.463 --> 00:02:48.399
So, I would think that this would be useful actually for at least a big portion of these 500 million people.
所以，我認為這個對這五億人中的一大部分來講真的很實用。

24
00:02:52.711 --> 00:02:56.151
Like these students at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm.
例如在斯德哥爾摩皇家音樂學院的這些學生。

25
00:03:02.912 --> 00:03:07.975
It's really accurate from how we are playing, and that's a big wow, I think, you know.
它真的準確記下了我們演奏的過程，我覺得這相當厲害。

26
00:03:09.847 --> 00:03:15.713
It won't necessarily make you a better composer but it should help free up your creative juices.
這不一定會讓你變成一個更優秀的作曲家，但應該有助於釋放你的創作活力。

27
00:03:18.516 --> 00:03:19.279
Yeah, it's good.
嗯，這很好。

28
00:03:19.423 --> 00:03:25.355
I'm not that fast at writing scores in the computer, but now it doesn't take that time.
我在電腦上寫樂譜的速度不是那麼快，不過現在不用花那時間了。

29
00:03:25.575 --> 00:03:31.810
Now I just sing it, and if it's something that I wanna change or switch notes, I can just do it very easily.
現在我只要唱出來，如果有什麼我想修改或調換音符的地方，我很簡單就可以進行。

30
00:03:32.161 --> 00:03:38.750
Music is as an important [a form of] human expression as is writing or text.
音樂是人類表情達意的一種重要形式，就像寫作或文本一樣。

31
00:03:38.786 --> 00:03:47.823
A lot more people than [those who] today are able to compose or write music have interesting musical thoughts and musical ideas,
除了當今會作曲或寫音樂的人，還有更多人擁有饒富興味的音樂想法或音樂點子，

32
00:03:48.141 --> 00:03:52.563
and they should be able to express themselves with the help of our software.
他們應當能夠藉由我們軟體的幫助表達自己。
