1
00:00:10,101 --> 00:00:16,140
（吸氣、吐氣）

2
00:00:17,435 --> 00:00:21,480
我唔係一直都靠音樂維生

3
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,649
我喺一間傑出文科大學畢業之後

4
00:00:23,649 --> 00:00:27,016
大約有五年時間

5
00:00:27,016 --> 00:00:31,103
我日頭嘅工作係咁（笑聲）

6
00:00:31,103 --> 00:00:35,671
我曾經係一個扮「八呎新娘」
活雕像嘅自僱人士

7
00:00:35,671 --> 00:00:39,239
我鍾意同人講我做呢份工

8
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:41,266
因為每個人都想知道
演員現實生活到底係咩

9
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,210
（笑聲）哈囉！

10
00:00:46,210 --> 00:00:49,071
我有一日將自己塗白，企喺一個箱度

11
00:00:49,071 --> 00:00:51,479
喺腳邊放一頂帽定一個罐

12
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,675
當有人走近，抌錢落去
我就會遞上一朵花

13
00:00:58,736 --> 00:01:01,736
然後同佢哋有熱切嘅眼神交流

14
00:01:01,736 --> 00:01:03,207
如果佢哋唔收咗朵花

15
00:01:03,207 --> 00:01:07,673
我就會喺佢哋慢慢走遠嘅時候

16
00:01:07,673 --> 00:01:11,738
露出悲傷同埋渴望嘅表情

17
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:15,060
（笑聲）

18
00:01:15,060 --> 00:01:19,384
可以話，我同人有著最深層嘅接觸

19
00:01:19,384 --> 00:01:21,249
尤其同嗰啲睇起嚟
好似幾個星期都冇同過人傾偈嘅人

20
00:01:24,345 --> 00:01:28,118
我同人喺城市街道上面
有著漫長而美妙嘅眼神交流

21
00:01:32,629 --> 00:01:36,004
我哋感覺好似有啲鍾意對方

22
00:01:36,004 --> 00:01:41,766
我嘅眼睛會話︰
「多謝，我睇到你嘞。」

23
00:01:41,766 --> 00:01:44,294
而佢哋嘅眼睛就會話︰
「從來冇人睇到我，多謝你。」

24
00:01:50,481 --> 00:01:52,357
有時候我會被騷擾

25
00:01:52,357 --> 00:01:54,321
有啲司機會對我大喊話「搵工啦！」

26
00:01:54,321 --> 00:01:56,602
（笑聲）

27
00:01:56,602 --> 00:02:00,041
我嘅反應係︰「呢份就係我嘅工。」

28
00:02:00,041 --> 00:02:03,774
但係呢件事令我好傷心

29
00:02:03,774 --> 00:02:07,431
我反問自己我做嘅嘢
係咪唔似職業

30
00:02:07,431 --> 00:02:10,887
唔正當、唔光采

31
00:02:10,887 --> 00:02:16,019
我之前唔知道
企喺呢個盒上面用音樂搵食

32
00:02:16,019 --> 00:02:18,755
可以有咁深刻嘅教育意義

33
00:02:18,755 --> 00:02:20,254
經濟學家，你哋可能有興趣知道
點解我嘅收入係可以預計

34
00:02:23,859 --> 00:02:25,562
我知道嗰陣，我自己都嚇咗一跳

35
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:28,171
因為我冇固定嘅客人

36
00:02:28,171 --> 00:02:31,459
但我通常星期二賺 60 美金
星期五賺 90 美金

37
00:02:31,459 --> 00:02:32,996
每個禮拜都係咁

38
00:02:32,996 --> 00:02:35,490
而且，我同我嘅樂團 Dresden Dolls 
會喺本地巡迴演出

39
00:02:35,490 --> 00:02:37,592
同埋喺夜總會表演

40
00:02:37,592 --> 00:02:40,068
呢張相影我喺度彈鋼琴，我係天才鼓手

41
00:02:40,068 --> 00:02:42,101
我寫歌

42
00:02:42,101 --> 00:02:46,091
最後我哋嘅收入
足夠我唔再需要做活雕像

43
00:02:46,091 --> 00:02:48,443
而當我哋開始巡迴演出

44
00:02:48,443 --> 00:02:50,560
我唔想失去呢種
同人直接眼神交流嘅感覺

45
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,822
因為我愛上呢種感覺

46
00:02:53,822 --> 00:02:57,007
所以喺每一場表演結束之後
我哋都會幫歌迷簽名

47
00:02:57,007 --> 00:03:00,248
同佢哋擁抱，同佢哋交流

48
00:03:00,248 --> 00:03:05,310
我哋求人加入我哋、幫我哋手

49
00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:07,966
我仲會搵嚟本地音樂家同藝術家
喺我哋表演場地出面表演

50
00:03:12,292 --> 00:03:13,951
同埋幫手籌錢

51
00:03:13,951 --> 00:03:15,501
亦都會請佢哋同我哋同臺演出

52
00:03:15,501 --> 00:03:20,331
所以我哋有唔同嘉賓上臺

53
00:03:20,331 --> 00:03:23,220
後嚟，Twitter 嘅出現
令事情變得更加神奇

54
00:03:25,568 --> 00:03:28,035
我可以喺任何地方提出任何要求

55
00:03:28,035 --> 00:03:30,100
譬如話，我需要一部鋼琴練習

56
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:31,100
一個小時之後，我就喺歌迷嘅屋企彈琴

57
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:33,308
呢度係倫敦

58
00:03:33,308 --> 00:03:35,804
世界各地都有人將自己做嘅食物
送到我哋後臺

59
00:03:35,804 --> 00:03:36,804
同我哋一齊食

60
00:03:36,804 --> 00:03:39,628
呢度係西雅圖

61
00:03:39,628 --> 00:03:43,334
如果我臨時決定搞
一場即興嘅免費演唱會

62
00:03:43,334 --> 00:03:46,614
喺博物館、商店
或者公共場所返工嘅歌迷

63
00:03:46,614 --> 00:03:50,181
都會向我哋揮手

64
00:03:50,181 --> 00:03:53,301
呢度係奧克蘭一個圖書館

65
00:03:53,301 --> 00:03:58,161
星期六我推文
希望有人能夠提供木板箱同帽

66
00:03:58,161 --> 00:03:59,999
因為我唔想將物品由東岸帶到嚟呢度

67
00:03:59,999 --> 00:04:01,753
最終嚟自 Newport Beach 嘅
Chris 回覆咗我

68
00:04:01,753 --> 00:04:05,366
為我提供咗呢兩樣道具

69
00:04:05,366 --> 00:04:09,089
我曾經推文問墨爾本邊度有得買洗鼻壺

70
00:04:09,089 --> 00:04:11,880
一位喺醫院工作嘅護士揸車

71
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,848
直接將佢送到我坐緊嘅咖啡店

72
00:04:13,848 --> 00:04:15,249
於是我請佢飲冰沙

73
00:04:15,249 --> 00:04:18,183
我哋傾到護士同埋死亡

74
00:04:18,183 --> 00:04:20,976
我就係鍾意呢種親近人嘅感覺

75
00:04:20,976 --> 00:04:21,976
而且好好彩因為我成日
有得喺人哋屋企過夜

76
00:04:21,976 --> 00:04:22,976
我先至可以親近人

77
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:28,880
喺大屋裡面，我哋每一位成員
都有自己房間，但係冇無線網絡

78
00:04:31,658 --> 00:04:32,658
喺龐克迷佔據嘅廢棄房屋裡面

79
00:04:32,658 --> 00:04:34,837
所有人瞓喺一間房嘅地板上
冇廁所，但係有無線網絡

80
00:04:34,837 --> 00:04:38,654
明顯後者係更好選擇

81
00:04:38,654 --> 00:04:40,579
（笑聲）

82
00:04:40,579 --> 00:04:42,982
我嘅工作人員曾經揸我哋嘅廂型車
去邁阿密一個非常窮嘅社區

83
00:04:46,933 --> 00:04:49,358
然後我哋發現

84
00:04:49,358 --> 00:04:52,382
嗰個借我哋瞓一晚嘅主人
係一個18歲、仲住喺屋企嘅女仔

85
00:04:52,382 --> 00:04:57,006
佢哋成家都係洪都拉斯嘅非法移民

86
00:04:57,006 --> 00:04:59,503
嗰晚，佢全家都瞓梳化

87
00:04:59,503 --> 00:05:02,782
佢同佢媽媽一齊瞓，好讓我哋可以瞓床

88
00:05:05,542 --> 00:05:08,046
我瞓喺嗰度諗

89
00:05:08,046 --> 00:05:11,087
呢啲人擁有嘅嘢咁少，公平嗎？

90
00:05:13,806 --> 00:05:16,362
第二朝，佢媽媽教我哋整墨西哥薄餅

91
00:05:16,362 --> 00:05:18,914
佢仲想送本聖經畀我

92
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：

93
00:05:24,827 --> 00:05:29,802
「你嘅音樂幫咗我個女好多，

94
00:05:29,802 --> 00:05:33,846
多謝你留宿呢度，我哋好感激。」

95
00:05:33,846 --> 00:05:37,702
然後我諗，咁樣就公平啦

96
00:05:37,702 --> 00:05:41,383
就係咁

97
00:05:41,383 --> 00:05:43,997
幾個月之後，我去咗曼哈頓

98
00:05:43,997 --> 00:05:46,537
我推文希望搵一個過夜嘅地方

99
00:05:46,537 --> 00:05:48,441
午夜時，我嚟到下東城區

100
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

101
00:05:50,907 --> 00:05:52,453
我一直都係同我嘅樂隊一齊

102
00:05:52,453 --> 00:05:56,945
係唔係傻瓜至自己一個留宿？（笑聲）

103
00:05:56,945 --> 00:05:59,432
傻瓜係唔係咁樣死？

104
00:05:59,432 --> 00:06:01,498
等我仲未嚟得切改變主意，門就打開咗

105
00:06:01,498 --> 00:06:02,498
佢係一位藝術家

106
00:06:02,498 --> 00:06:05,016
佢係路透社財經博客嘅作家

107
00:06:05,016 --> 00:06:07,330
佢哋幫我倒紅酒，畀我沖涼

108
00:06:08,501 --> 00:06:13,456
我有過成千上萬個類似經歷嘅夜晚

109
00:06:13,456 --> 00:06:17,481
我成日喺人哋屋企梳化過夜
亦都成日人群衝浪

110
00:06:17,481 --> 00:06:20,809
我認為喺人哋屋企過夜同人群衝浪
其實係同一件事

111
00:06:23,097 --> 00:06:25,601
因為你都係將你成個人
交託畀觀眾，信任佢哋

112
00:06:27,097 --> 00:06:29,717
我曾經問一個為我哋開場嘅樂隊

113
00:06:29,717 --> 00:06:32,240
願唔願意走到群眾當中
傳頂帽畀人去籌錢

114
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,368
畢竟我自己經常咁樣做

115
00:06:34,368 --> 00:06:36,513
同往常一樣，樂團已經準備好

116
00:06:36,513 --> 00:06:38,625
但係其中一位成員話畀我聽
佢冇辦法說服自己咁做

117
00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:46,728
佢覺得攞著頂帽企喺嗰度
感覺實在太似行乞嘞

118
00:06:46,728 --> 00:06:55,410
我意識到佢有「公平嗎？」
同「快去搵工作！」嗰類嘅恐懼

119
00:06:55,410 --> 00:06:58,856
與此同時，我嘅樂隊越嚟越受歡迎

120
00:06:58,856 --> 00:07:01,130
我哋同一間大型唱片公司簽約

121
00:07:01,130 --> 00:07:03,891
我哋嘅風格兼具龐克同卡巴萊

122
00:07:03,891 --> 00:07:06,096
但唔係所有人都會鍾意

123
00:07:06,096 --> 00:07:09,464
唔係，或者你哋會鍾意（笑聲）

124
00:07:09,464 --> 00:07:10,464
我哋簽咗約

125
00:07:10,464 --> 00:07:13,408
然後有一大堆新唱片宣傳活動

126
00:07:13,408 --> 00:07:18,740
開賣後嘅幾個星期，賣咗二萬五千張

127
00:07:18,740 --> 00:07:22,116
但唱片公司認為係失敗

128
00:07:22,116 --> 00:07:24,667
我嘅反應係︰二萬五千張唔係好多咩？

129
00:07:24,667 --> 00:07:27,300
佢哋嘅反應係︰唔係
銷售量下跌，所以係失敗

130
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:29,578
之後佢哋走咗

131
00:07:29,578 --> 00:07:32,609
但當時即興表演至係完咗
我同歌迷簽名、擁抱

132
00:07:32,609 --> 00:07:34,753
一個男仔走埋嚟
遞張十蚊美金嘅鈔票畀我

133
00:07:37,025 --> 00:07:38,379
佢話：「好對唔住，

134
00:07:38,379 --> 00:07:42,137
我由朋友嗰度複製咗你張碟。」

135
00:07:42,137 --> 00:07:45,386
（笑聲）

136
00:07:45,386 --> 00:07:46,386
「但係我睇過你嘅部落格，

137
00:07:46,386 --> 00:07:48,851
我知道你憎你嘅唱片公司，

138
00:07:48,851 --> 00:07:51,385
我只係希望你攞返呢啲錢。」

139
00:07:51,385 --> 00:07:55,225
呢類事情開始不斷發生

140
00:07:55,225 --> 00:07:58,690
每場表演之後，我變成嗰頂籌款嘅帽

141
00:07:58,690 --> 00:08:01,976
只係我必須企喺嗰度，接受人哋嘅幫助

142
00:08:01,976 --> 00:08:04,185
相反唔似開場樂隊咁
我練企練咗好多次

143
00:08:08,215 --> 00:08:10,331
多謝

144
00:08:10,331 --> 00:08:12,482
喺嗰個時候，我決定
將我網上嘅音樂轉做免費

145
00:08:17,106 --> 00:08:18,106
就好似，Metallica 喺呢邊

146
00:08:18,106 --> 00:08:20,342
Napster，差

147
00:08:20,342 --> 00:08:23,130
Amanda Palmer，喺呢邊

148
00:08:23,130 --> 00:08:24,479
我雖然鼓勵
點對點檔案分享、下載、分享

149
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:27,479
但我都想人幫我

150
00:08:27,479 --> 00:08:30,999
因為我喺街上見到求人呢種方法行得通

151
00:08:30,999 --> 00:08:33,927
所以我用自己嘅方法擊退咗唱片公司

152
00:08:33,927 --> 00:08:36,631
同埋為咗我同我嘅新樂團
Grand Theft Orchestra 嘅下個計劃

153
00:08:36,631 --> 00:08:39,359
我至走去群眾募資

154
00:08:39,359 --> 00:08:43,527
所以我嗰陣只能夠
靠我聯絡過嘅幾千個支持者

155
00:08:43,527 --> 00:08:46,295
我當時希望支持者可以支持我

156
00:08:46,295 --> 00:08:49,343
開頭我個目標係十萬美金

157
00:08:49,343 --> 00:08:52,848
但我嘅歌迷最終以
接近一百二十萬嘅金額支持我

158
00:08:52,848 --> 00:08:56,103
呢個係目前為止
最大嘅音樂群眾募資計劃

159
00:08:56,103 --> 00:09:00,191
（掌聲）

160
00:09:00,191 --> 00:09:04,208
你可以睇到有幾多人支持

161
00:09:04,208 --> 00:09:08,239
即係大約兩萬五千人

162
00:09:08,239 --> 00:09:10,567
然後傳媒問我：「Amanda，

163
00:09:10,567 --> 00:09:12,941
音樂產業落入谷底 ，而你鼓勵盜版，

164
00:09:12,941 --> 00:09:14,986
咁你點令到啲人畀錢買音樂？」

165
00:09:14,986 --> 00:09:20,258
答案係，我冇做乜嘢，我只係求佢哋

166
00:09:20,258 --> 00:09:23,387
透過求人哋呢個動作
我同佢哋建立關係

167
00:09:25,836 --> 00:09:30,771
當你同佢哋有關係時，人哋就會想幫你

168
00:09:30,771 --> 00:09:34,545
呢樣對於好多藝術家嚟講係違反常理嘅

169
00:09:34,545 --> 00:09:36,200
佢哋唔想求人

170
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:42,116
不過，提出要求都唔容易

171
00:09:42,116 --> 00:09:44,331
好多藝術家都面對呢個問題

172
00:09:44,331 --> 00:09:46,572
「求人」令你變得脆弱

173
00:09:50,935 --> 00:09:52,478
當我嘅眾籌計劃好受歡迎嘅時候

174
00:09:52,478 --> 00:09:53,506
我喺網上收到好多批評

175
00:09:53,506 --> 00:09:54,535
話我唔應該繼續搞眾籌

176
00:09:55,564 --> 00:09:57,983
尤其唔應該問音樂人
上唔上台同我哋一齊唱歌

177
00:10:00,829 --> 00:10:04,331
用幾首歌嚟換取樂迷嘅愛心
演唱會嘅門票同酒精飲品

178
00:10:04,331 --> 00:10:07,428
呢張網上圖片抵毀我，亦都傷害咗我

179
00:10:13,997 --> 00:10:16,971
人哋話：「你唔可以再求咁樣嘅幫忙」

180
00:10:18,735 --> 00:10:23,303
而呢句嘢令我諗返
司機對著我大叫「去搵工啦！」

181
00:10:23,303 --> 00:10:27,687
因為佢哋冇同我哋坐埋同一條船

182
00:10:27,687 --> 00:10:31,233
佢哋睇唔到我同群眾點樣互惠互利

183
00:10:33,270 --> 00:10:35,760
呢種互惠互利對我哋嚟講好公平

184
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,760
但對佢哋嚟講就好奇怪

185
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,684
所以眾籌唔係一帆風順

186
00:10:40,684 --> 00:10:43,356
呢個係我一班眾籌贊助者
喺柏林開嘅派對

187
00:10:43,356 --> 00:10:46,837
派對結束嗰陣
我除衫畀人哋喺我身上畫畫

188
00:10:46,837 --> 00:10:49,656
我話你知，如果你想領會
信陌生人係點嘅感覺

189
00:10:52,735 --> 00:10:54,837
我推薦呢個活動

190
00:10:54,837 --> 00:10:55,953
尤其當陌生人都係飲醉咗嘅德國人

191
00:10:55,953 --> 00:10:58,953
（笑聲）

192
00:10:58,953 --> 00:11:03,595
呢個係忍者大師級嘅歌迷交流

193
00:11:03,595 --> 00:11:06,503
因為我真正想講嘅係
我好信任你哋

194
00:11:09,103 --> 00:11:13,223
我應該咁樣做？話畀我聽呀

195
00:11:13,223 --> 00:11:15,069
人類歷史上嘅大部分時間
音樂人、藝術家都係社群嘅一部分

196
00:11:20,411 --> 00:11:24,834
佢哋扮演著連繫同開拓者角色
而唔係無法觸及嘅明星

197
00:11:24,834 --> 00:11:29,176
以前，成為名人意味著
有啲人隔著好遠鍾你

198
00:11:29,176 --> 00:11:31,199
但宜家，網絡同網路上面嘅內容
拉返近明星同樂迷嘅距離

199
00:11:36,744 --> 00:11:40,452
宜家係講緊細細班人
可以近距離見到心愛嘅明星

200
00:11:40,452 --> 00:11:44,939
細細班人已經可以養活到你

201
00:11:44,939 --> 00:11:47,154
所以好多人唔理解冇標準定價係咩回事

202
00:11:48,308 --> 00:11:51,690
佢哋認為冇標準定價
會帶嚟無法預料嘅風險

203
00:11:51,690 --> 00:11:53,874
但我做嘅嘢
包括眾籌、街頭募款、㩒陌生人門鐘

204
00:11:53,874 --> 00:11:56,002
都唔係風險

205
00:11:56,002 --> 00:11:57,807
我視呢啲嘢為一種對人嘅信任

206
00:11:57,807 --> 00:12:01,315
宜家，網路工具
令呢種歌手同樂迷之間嘅交易

207
00:12:01,315 --> 00:12:04,681
同喺街頭求助一樣直接、簡單

208
00:12:04,681 --> 00:12:06,603
而且呢種轉變就快成為潮流

209
00:12:06,603 --> 00:12:10,202
但如果我哋無辦法見到人
怕付出、接收、同求人

210
00:12:12,670 --> 00:12:15,478
咁呢個完美嘅工具就幫唔到我哋

211
00:12:21,818 --> 00:12:24,492
喺我嘅音樂生涯裏邊

212
00:12:24,492 --> 00:12:27,506
我一直嘗試用我企喺箱
同人交流嘅方法同人喺網上交流

213
00:12:30,003 --> 00:12:33,515
所以部落格同推文
唔單止講到我嘅巡迴演出日期

214
00:12:33,515 --> 00:12:34,515
同我新嘅音樂錄影

215
00:12:34,515 --> 00:12:37,106
仲有講到我哋嘅作品、我哋嘅藝術
我哋嘅恐懼、醉酒同過失

216
00:12:41,689 --> 00:12:43,707
咁樣我哋就能夠明白對方

217
00:12:43,707 --> 00:12:47,558
當我哋真正了解大家
我哋就會想幫人

218
00:12:50,410 --> 00:12:54,926
我認為人哋一直問咗一個錯嘅問題︰

219
00:12:54,926 --> 00:12:58,540
「我哋點樣令人哋畀錢買音樂？」

220
00:12:58,540 --> 00:13:00,988
點解唔一開始問：

221
00:13:00,988 --> 00:13:05,632
「我哋點樣令人自發買音樂？」

222
00:13:05,632 --> 00:13:08,483
多謝

223
00:13:08,483 --> 00:13:12,483
（掌聲）
