我哋嘅收入足夠我唔再需要做活雕像 47 00:02:46,091 --> 00:02:48,443 而當我哋開始巡迴演出 48 00:02:48,443 --> 00:02:50,560 我唔想失去呢種 49 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,822 同人直接眼神交流嘅感覺,因為我愛上呢種感覺 50 00:02:53,822 --> 00:02:57,007

00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,658 但係冇無線網絡 84 00:04:31,658 --> 00:04:34,837 喺龐克迷佔據嘅廢棄房屋裡面 所有人瞓喺一間房嘅地板上,冇廁所 85 00:04:34,837 --> 00:04:38,654 但係有無線網絡,明顯後者係更好選擇 86 00:04:38,654 --> 00:04:40,579 (笑聲) 87 00:04:40,579 --> 00:04:42,982 我嘅工作人員曾經揸我哋嘅廂型車 88 00:04:42,982 --> 00:04:46,933 去邁阿密一個非常窮嘅社區 89 00:04:46,933 --> 00:04:49,358 然後我哋發現,嗰個借我哋瞓一晚嘅主人 90 00:04:49,358 --> 00:04:52,382 係一個18歲、仲住喺屋企嘅女仔 91 00:04:52,382 --> 00:04:57,006 佢哋成家都係洪都拉斯嘅非法移民 92 00:04:57,006 --> 00:04:59,503 嗰晚,佢全家都瞓梳化 93 00:04:59,503 --> 00:05:02,782 佢同佢媽媽一齊瞓 94 00:05:02,782 --> 00:05:05,542 好讓我哋可以瞓床 95 00:05:05,542 -->

00:05:18,914 --> 00:05:24,827 然後佢將我帶到一邊,用唔咸唔淡嘅英文同我講: 101 00:05:24,827 --> 00:05:29,802 「你嘅音樂幫咗我個女好多, 102 00:05:29,802 --> 00:05:33,846 多謝你留宿呢度,我哋好感激。」 103 00:05:33,846 --> 00:05:37,702 然後我諗,咁樣就公平啦 104 00:05:37,702 --> 00:05:41,383 咁就係咁 105 00:05:41,383 --> 00:05:43,997 幾個月之後,我喺曼哈頓 106 00:05:43,997 --> 00:05:46,537 我推文希望搵一個過夜嘅地方 107 00:05:46,537 --> 00:05:48,441 午夜時,我嚟到下東城區 108 00:05:48,441 --> 00:05:50,907 然後我突然意識到我從未試過一個人借宿過 109 00:05:50,907 --> 00:05:52,453 我一直都係同我嘅樂隊一齊 110 00:05:52,453 --> 00:05:56,945 係唔係傻瓜至自己一個留宿?(笑聲) 111 00:05:56,945 --> 00:05:59,432 傻瓜係唔係咁樣死? 112 00:05:59,432 -->

因為你都係將你成個人交託畀觀眾 121 00:06:25,601 --> 00:06:27,097 信任佢哋 122 00:06:27,097 --> 00:06:29,717 我曾經問一個為我哋開場嘅樂隊 123 00:06:29,717 --> 00:06:32,240 他們願不願意到人群中去,傳遞帽子 124 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,368 去籌一點額外的錢。我自己經常這樣做。 125 00:06:34,368 --> 00:06:36,513 和往常一樣,樂團非常興奮, 126 00:06:36,513 --> 00:06:38,625 但是其中有一位成員告訴我 127 00:06:38,625 --> 00:06:42,740 他沒有辦法說服自己這樣做。 128 00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:46,728 拿著帽子站在那裡感覺實在是太像乞討了。 129 00:06:46,728 --> 00:06:55,410 我意識到他有來自“這公平嗎?”和“快去找工作!”恐懼 130 00:06:55,410 --> 00:06:58,856 在這同時,我的樂團越來越受歡迎。 131 00:06:58,856 --> 00:07:01,130 我們和一間大型唱片公司簽約。 132 00:07:01,130 --> 00:07:03,891 我們的風格兼具龐克和卡巴萊。 133 00:07:03,891 --> 00:07:06,096 不是所有人都會喜歡的。 134 00:07:06,096 --> 00:07:09,464 喔,也許你們會喜歡。 135 00:07:09,464 --> 00:07:13,408 我們簽了,然後有一大堆新唱片的宣傳活動。 136 00:07:13,408 --> 00:07:18,740 開賣後,在前幾個星期賣了兩萬五千張, 137 00:07:18,740 --> 00:07:22,116 唱片公司認為這是一個失敗。 138 00:07:22,116 --> 00:07:24,667 我的反應是,”兩萬五千張不是很多了嗎?" 139 00:07:24,667 --> 00:07:27,300 他們的反應是,”不,銷售下滑了,這是一個失敗” 140 00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:29,578 然後他們就離開了。 141 00:07:29,578 --> 00:07:32,609 在同時,當我在一個演出中唱歌並且和歌迷擁抱時, 142 00:07:32,609 --> 00:07:34,753 一個男生走向我 143 00:07:34,753 --> 00:07:37,025 遞給我一張美金十塊的鈔票 144 00:07:37,025 --> 00:07:38,379 他說: 145 00:07:38,379 --> 00:07:42,137 "我很抱歉,我從朋友那燒了一張你們的CD" 146 00:07:42,137 --> 00:07:45,386 (笑聲) 147 00:07:45,386 --> 00:07:48,851 ”但是我讀了你的部落格,我知道你討厭你的唱片公司, 148

00:08:01,976 --> 00:08:04,185 不像那個開場樂團的人 153 00:08:04,185 --> 00:08:08,215 對於站在那裡,我練習很多次了。 154 00:08:08,215 --> 00:08:10,331 謝謝你。 155 00:08:10,331 --> 00:08:12,482 在那個時候,我決定 156 00:08:12,482 --> 00:08:15,274 我要把我的音樂免費 157 00:08:15,274 --> 00:08:17,106 放在網路上,不論任何時候 158 00:08:17,106 --> 00:08:20,342 就像,在這邊,Metallica說Napster不對, 159 00:08:20,342 --> 00:08:23,130 我,Amanda Palmer,在這邊 160 00:08:23,130 --> 00:08:27,479 鼓勵點對點檔案分享、下載、分享,但是我會要求幫助 161 00:08:27,479 --> 00:08:30,999 這是我從在街上的工作學到的。 162 00:08:30,999 --> 00:08:33,927 我用自己的方法擊退了唱片公司,為了我下個計劃, 163 00:08:33,927 --> 00:08:36,631 和我的新樂團,Grand Theft Orchestra, 164 00:08:36,631 --> 00:08:39,359 我轉向群眾募資 165 00:08:39,359 --> 00:08:43,527 我縱身一躍,落在我建立的成千上萬的聯結中 166 00:08:43,527 --> 00:08:46,295 我要求我的群眾接住我。 167 00:08:46,295 --> 00:08:49,343 目標本來是十萬美金。 168 00:08:49,343 --> 00:08:52,848 我的歌迷以接近一千兩百萬來支持我, 169 00:08:52,848 --> 00:08:56,103 這是目前為止最大的音樂群眾募資計劃。 170 00:08:56,103 --> 00:09:00,191 (掌聲) 171 00:09:00,191 -->

00:09:14,986 那你要怎麼讓這些付錢得到音樂?" 176 00:09:14,986 --> 00:09:20,258 真實的答案是,我沒有讓他們,我要求他們。 177 00:09:20,258 --> 00:09:23,387 透過要求人們這個動作: 178 00:09:23,387 --> 00:09:25,836 我和他們產生連結, 179 00:09:25,836 --> 00:09:30,771 當你和他們產生連結,人們就會想要幫助你。 180 00:09:30,771 --> 00:09:34,545 這對很多藝術家來說是違反常理的。 181 00:09:34,545 --> 00:09:36,200 他們不想向人們提出要求。 182 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:42,116 不過這不容易,提出要求並不容易。 183 00:09:42,116 --> 00:09:44,331 很多藝術家都有這種問題。 184 00:09:44,331 --> 00:09:46,572 "要求別人"使你變的脆弱。 185 00:09:46,572 --> 00:09:50,935 我從網路上得到很多批評 186 00:09:50,935 --> 00:09:52,782 在我的Kickstarter計劃變大之後 187 00:09:52,782 --> 00:09:55,564 為了持續我的瘋狂群眾支援實踐, 188 00:09:55,564 --> 00:09:57,983 特別是要求音樂人 189 00:09:57,983 --> 00:10:00,829 如果他們是樂迷,想要和我們一起上台表演 190 00:10:00,829 --> 00:10:04,331 用幾首歌來交換一點愛和門票. 191 00:10:04,331 --> 00:10:07,428 還有啤酒,這是一張合成圖, 192 00:10:07,428 --> 00:10:10,756 某網站刊登的一張。 193 00:10:10,756 --> 00:10:13,997 以一個很熟悉的方式傷害了我。 194 00:10:13,997 --> 00:10:16,971 人們說: 195 00:10:16,971 --> 00:10:18,735 ”你再也不被允許,要求那種幫助了” 196 00:10:18,735 --> 00:10:23,303 也提醒了我那些坐在車裡的人對我喊著"快去找工作"。 197 00:10:23,303 --> 00:10:27,687 因為他們沒有和我們一樣在人行道上, 198 00:10:27,687 --> 00:10:31,233 他們沒看見交易的過程 199 00:10:31,233 --> 00:10:33,270 發生在我和我的群眾間, 200 00:10:33,270 --> 00:10:38,760 一種對我們來說很公平,對他們來說很奇怪的交易。 201 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,684 這不是一份安穩的工作。 202 00:10:40,684 --> 00:10:43,356 這是在柏林舉辦的Kickstarter贊助者派對。 203 00:10:43,356 --> 00:10:46,837 派對結束之前,我脫光讓人們在我身上畫畫。 204 00:10:46,837 --> 00:10:49,656 我用親身經歷告訴你們,如果你想體會 205 00:10:49,656 --> 00:10:52,735 那種發自內心信任陌生人的感覺, 206 00:10:52,735 --> 00:10:54,837 我推薦這個, 207 00:10:54,837 --> 00:10:58,953 尤其這些陌生人都是喝醉的德國人的時候。 208 00:10:58,953 --> 00:11:03,595 這是忍者大師級的與歌迷交流的方式, 209 00:11:03,595 --> 00:11:06,503 因為我真正傳達的訊息是 210 00:11:06,503 --> 00:11:09,103 我是這樣地信任你們。 211 00:11:09,103 --> 00:11:13,223 我應該這樣做嗎?用行動告訴我。 212 00:11:13,223 --> 00:11:15,069 在人類歷史上的大部分時期 213 00:11:15,069 --> 00:11:20,411 音樂人、藝術家是社群的一部分, 214 00:11:20,411 --> 00:11:24,834 是連結者,開拓者,不是無法觸及的明星。 215 00:11:24,834 --> 00:11:29,176 成為名人意味著有很多人隔著一段距離愛你, 216 00:11:29,176 --> 00:11:31,199 然而網際網路 217 00:11:31,199 --> 00:11:33,807 和我們在網路上自由共享的內容 218 00:11:33,807 --> 00:11:36,744 拉近了我們的距離。 219 00:11:36,744 --> 00:11:40,452 現在是一群人近距離的 220 00:11:40,452 --> 00:11:44,939 為你提供足夠的支援。 221 00:11:44,939 --> 00:11:47,154 很多人不理解 222 00:11:47,154 --> 00:11:48,308 沒有標準定價這個概念。 223 00:11:48,308 --> 00:11:51,690 他們認為有無法預料風險,但這就是我所做的事情 224 00:11:51,690 --> 00:11:53,874 用Kickstarter,在街頭募款,按陌生人的門鈴, 225 00:11:53,874 --> 00:11:56,002 我不認為這些事情是風險。 226 00:11:56,002 --> 00:11:57,807 我認為它們是信任。 227 00:11:57,807 --> 00:12:01,315 現在,網路工具讓這種交易 228 00:12:01,315 --> 00:12:04,681 像在街頭請求幫助一樣直接和簡單, 229 00:12:04,681 --> 00:12:06,603 這種轉變即將實現。 230 00:12:06,603 --> 00:12:10,202 然而這個完美的工具是無法幫助我們的 231 00:12:10,202 --> 00:12:12,670 如果我們無法面對彼此 232 00:12:12,670 --> 00:12:15,478 然後無所畏懼的給予和接受。 233 00:12:15,478 --> 00:12:18,299 然而,更重要的是 234 00:12:18,299 --> 00:12:21,818 不因請求幫助而感到羞愧。 235 00:12:21,818 --> 00:12:24,492 做音樂的過程中 236 00:12:24,492 --> 00:12:27,506 我一直試著在網路上與人們相遇 237 00:12:27,506 --> 00:12:30,003 像我站在箱子上的時候一樣, 238 00:12:30,003 --> 00:12:33,515 所以部落格和推文上不僅有我的巡演日期 239 00:12:33,515 --> 00:12:37,106 我新的音樂錄音帶,還有我們的作品、我們的藝術 240 00:12:37,106 --> 00:12:41,689 我們的恐懼、宿醉和錯誤 241 00:12:41,689 --> 00:12:43,707 這樣我們就能真正看到彼此。 242 00:12:43,707 --> 00:12:47,558 當我們真正了解彼此時, 243 00:12:47,558 --> 00:12:50,410 我們就會希望互相幫助。 244 00:12:50,410 --> 00:12:54,926 我認為人們一直卡在一個錯誤的問題, 245 00:12:54,926 --> 00:12:58,540 “我們如何使人們付錢購買音樂?” 246 00:12:58,540 --> 00:13:00,988 為甚麼不開始問: 247 00:13:00,988 --> 00:13:05,632 “我們如何讓人們為音樂慷慨解囊?” 248 00:13:05,632 --> 00:13:08,483 謝謝。 249 00:13:08,483 --> 00:13:12,483 (掌聲)
