00:00:10.101 --> 00:00:16.140
（吸氣、吐氣）

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:17.865 --> 00:00:21.480
我唔係一直都靠音樂維生

00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.119
我喺一間傑出文科大學畢業之後

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:27.016
大約有五年時間

00:00:27.016 --> 00:00:31.103
我日頭嘅工作係咁（笑聲）

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

00:00:35.671 --> 00:00:39.239
我鍾意同人講我做呢份工

00:00:39.239 --> 00:00:44.416
因為每個人都想知道
演員現實生活到底係咩

00:00:44.416 --> 00:00:46.210
（笑聲）哈囉！

00:00:46.210 --> 00:00:49.071
我有一日將自己塗白，企喺一個箱度

00:00:49.071 --> 00:00:51.479
喺腳邊放一頂帽定一個罐

00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:57.075
當有人走近，抌錢落去
我就會遞上一朵花

00:00:58.026 --> 00:01:01.736
然後同佢哋有熱切嘅眼神交流

00:01:01.736 --> 00:01:03.447
如果佢哋唔收咗朵花

00:01:03.447 --> 00:01:07.673
我就會喺佢哋慢慢走遠嘅時候

00:01:07.673 --> 00:01:11.738
露出悲傷同埋渴望嘅表情

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:11.738 --> 00:01:15.480
（笑聲）

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.404
可以話，我同人有著最深層嘅接觸

00:01:19.404 --> 00:01:24.349
尤其同嗰啲睇起嚟
好似幾個星期都冇同過人傾偈嘅人

00:01:24.349 --> 00:01:32.628
我同人喺城市街道上面
有著漫長而美妙嘅眼神交流

00:01:32.629 --> 00:01:36.004
我哋感覺好似有啲鍾意對方

00:01:36.004 --> 00:01:41.766
我嘅眼睛會話︰
「多謝，我睇到你嘞。」

00:01:41.766 --> 00:01:48.884
而佢哋嘅眼睛就會話︰
「從來冇人睇到我，多謝你。」

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:50.861 --> 00:01:52.577
有時候我會被騷擾

00:01:52.577 --> 00:01:55.981
有啲司機會對我大喊話「搵工啦！」

00:01:55.981 --> 00:01:56.722
（笑聲）

00:01:56.722 --> 00:02:00.041
我嘅反應係︰「呢份就係我嘅工。」

00:02:00.041 --> 00:02:02.504
但係呢件事令我好傷心

00:02:02.504 --> 00:02:07.891
我反問自己我做嘅嘢
係咪唔似職業

00:02:07.891 --> 00:02:10.887
唔正當、唔光采

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

00:02:16.019 --> 00:02:18.755
可以有咁深刻嘅教育意義

00:02:18.755 --> 00:02:23.854
經濟學家，你哋可能有興趣知道
點解我嘅收入係可以預計

00:02:23.859 --> 00:02:26.032
我知道嗰陣，我自己都嚇咗一跳

00:02:26.032 --> 00:02:28.171
因為我冇固定嘅客人

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

00:02:31.459 --> 00:02:32.996
每個禮拜都係咁

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:32.996 --> 00:02:35.870
而且，我同我嘅樂團 Dresden Dolls 
會喺本地巡迴演出

00:02:35.870 --> 00:02:37.792
同埋喺夜總會表演

00:02:37.792 --> 00:02:40.648
呢張相影我喺度彈鋼琴，我係天才鼓手

00:02:40.648 --> 00:02:41.691
我寫歌

00:02:41.691 --> 00:02:46.091
最後我哋嘅收入
足夠我唔再需要做活雕像

00:02:46.091 --> 00:02:48.443
而當我哋開始巡迴演出

00:02:48.443 --> 00:02:52.640
我唔想失去呢種
同人直接眼神交流嘅感覺

00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:54.062
因為我愛上呢種感覺

00:02:54.062 --> 00:02:57.597
所以喺每一場表演結束之後
我哋都會幫歌迷簽名

00:02:57.597 --> 00:03:00.248
同佢哋擁抱，同佢哋交流

00:03:00.248 --> 00:03:06.110
我哋求人加入我哋、幫我哋手

00:03:06.110 --> 00:03:12.316
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

00:03:12.316 --> 00:03:13.641
同埋幫手籌錢

00:03:13.641 --> 00:03:15.861
亦都會請佢哋
同我哋同臺演出

00:03:15.861 --> 00:03:20.331
所以我哋有唔同嘉賓上臺

NOTE Paragraph

00:03:20.331 --> 00:03:24.810
後嚟，Twitter 嘅出現
令事情變得更加神奇

00:03:24.810 --> 00:03:28.035
我可以喺任何地方提出任何要求

00:03:28.035 --> 00:03:30.100
譬如話，我需要一部鋼琴練習

00:03:30.100 --> 00:03:32.330
一個小時後
我就喺歌迷屋企彈琴

00:03:32.330 --> 00:03:33.728
呢度係倫敦

00:03:33.728 --> 00:03:37.314
世界各地都有人將自己做嘅食物
送到我哋後臺

00:03:37.314 --> 00:03:38.564
同我哋一齊食

00:03:38.564 --> 00:03:39.628
呢度係西雅圖

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

00:03:43.334 --> 00:03:47.274
咁喺博物館、商店
或者公共場所返工嘅歌迷

00:03:47.274 --> 00:03:50.181
都會向我哋揮手

00:03:50.181 --> 00:03:53.301
呢度係奧克蘭一個圖書館

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

00:03:58.161 --> 00:04:01.499
因為我唔想將物品
由東岸帶到嚟呢度

00:04:01.499 --> 00:04:03.563
最終嚟自 Newport Beach 嘅
Chris 回覆咗我

00:04:03.563 --> 00:04:05.586
為我提供咗呢兩樣道具

00:04:05.586 --> 00:04:09.089
我曾經推文問墨爾本邊度有得買洗鼻壺

00:04:09.089 --> 00:04:11.880
一位喺醫院工作嘅護士揸車

00:04:11.880 --> 00:04:14.248
直接將佢送到我坐緊嘅咖啡店

00:04:14.248 --> 00:04:16.269
於是我請佢飲冰沙

00:04:16.269 --> 00:04:18.183
我哋傾到護士同埋死亡

NOTE Paragraph

00:04:18.183 --> 00:04:21.326
我就係鍾意呢種親近人嘅感覺

00:04:21.326 --> 00:04:22.190
而且好好彩

00:04:22.190 --> 00:04:25.910
因為我成日有得喺人哋屋企過夜
我先至可以親近人

00:04:25.910 --> 00:04:30.320
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

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:32.828
喺龐克迷佔據嘅廢棄房屋裡面

00:04:32.828 --> 00:04:36.737
所有人瞓喺一間房嘅地板上
冇廁所，但係有無線網絡

00:04:36.737 --> 00:04:38.654
明顯後者係更好選擇

NOTE Paragraph

00:04:38.654 --> 00:04:40.579
（笑聲）

NOTE Paragraph

00:04:40.579 --> 00:04:43.982
我嘅工作人員曾經揸我哋嘅廂型車

00:04:43.982 --> 00:04:46.982
去邁阿密一個非常窮嘅社區

00:04:46.982 --> 00:04:48.088
然後我哋發現

00:04:48.088 --> 00:04:52.462
嗰個借我哋瞓一晚嘅主人
係一個18歲、仲住喺屋企嘅女仔

00:04:52.462 --> 00:04:57.006
佢哋成家都係洪都拉斯嘅非法移民

00:04:57.006 --> 00:05:01.253
嗰晚，佢全家都瞓梳化

00:05:01.253 --> 00:05:05.582
佢同佢媽媽一齊瞓，好讓我哋可以瞓床

00:05:05.582 --> 00:05:08.046
我瞓喺嗰度諗

00:05:08.046 --> 00:05:13.797
呢啲人擁有嘅嘢咁少，公平嗎？

00:05:13.806 --> 00:05:17.362
第二朝，佢媽媽教我哋整墨西哥薄餅

00:05:17.362 --> 00:05:19.504
佢仲想送本聖經畀我

00:05:19.504 --> 00:05:24.827
然後佢將我帶到一邊
用唔咸唔淡嘅英文同我講：

00:05:24.827 --> 00:05:29.802
「你嘅音樂幫咗我個女好多，

00:05:29.802 --> 00:05:33.846
多謝你留宿呢度，我哋好感激。」

00:05:33.846 --> 00:05:37.702
然後我諗，咁樣就公平啦

00:05:37.702 --> 00:05:41.383
就係咁

NOTE Paragraph

00:05:41.383 --> 00:05:43.997
幾個月之後，我去咗曼哈頓

00:05:43.997 --> 00:05:46.157
我推文希望搵一個過夜嘅地方

00:05:46.157 --> 00:05:48.401
午夜時，我嚟到下東城區

00:05:48.401 --> 00:05:50.847
然後我突然意識到
我從未試過一個人借宿過

00:05:50.847 --> 00:05:53.173
我一直都係同我嘅樂隊一齊

00:05:53.173 --> 00:05:56.945
係唔係傻瓜至自己一個留宿？（笑聲）

00:05:56.945 --> 00:05:59.432
傻瓜係唔係咁樣死？

00:05:59.432 --> 00:06:01.728
等我仲未嚟得切改變主意，門就打開咗

00:06:01.728 --> 00:06:02.878
個女人係一位藝術家

00:06:02.878 --> 00:06:05.606
個男人係路透社財經博客嘅作家

00:06:05.606 --> 00:06:08.510
佢哋幫我倒紅酒，畀我沖涼

00:06:08.510 --> 00:06:13.456
我有過成千上萬個類似經歷嘅夜晚

NOTE Paragraph

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

00:06:17.481 --> 00:06:23.109
我認為喺人哋屋企過夜同人群衝浪
其實係同一件事

00:06:23.109 --> 00:06:27.101
因為你都係將你成個人
交託畀觀眾，信任佢哋

00:06:27.101 --> 00:06:29.887
我曾經問一個為我哋開場嘅樂隊

00:06:29.887 --> 00:06:33.260
願唔願意走到群眾當中
傳頂帽畀人去籌錢

00:06:33.260 --> 00:06:35.058
畢竟我自己經常咁樣做

00:06:35.058 --> 00:06:37.363
同往常一樣，樂團已經準備好

00:06:37.363 --> 00:06:42.745
但係其中一位成員話畀我聽
佢冇辦法說服自己咁做

00:06:42.745 --> 00:06:46.728
佢覺得攞著頂帽企喺嗰度
感覺實在太似行乞嘞

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

NOTE Paragraph

00:06:55.410 --> 00:06:58.856
與此同時，我嘅樂隊越嚟越受歡迎

00:06:58.856 --> 00:07:01.130
我哋同一間大型唱片公司簽約

00:07:01.130 --> 00:07:03.891
我哋嘅風格兼具龐克同卡巴萊

00:07:03.891 --> 00:07:05.826
但唔係所有人都會鍾意

00:07:05.826 --> 00:07:09.464
唔係，或者你哋會鍾意（笑聲）

00:07:09.464 --> 00:07:11.154
我哋簽咗約

00:07:11.154 --> 00:07:13.408
然後有一大堆新唱片宣傳活動

00:07:13.408 --> 00:07:18.740
開賣後嘅幾個星期，賣咗二萬五千張

00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:22.116
但唱片公司認為係失敗

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:22.116 --> 00:07:24.667
我嘅反應係︰二萬五千張唔係好多咩？

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:24.667 --> 00:07:27.600
佢哋嘅反應係︰唔係
銷售量下跌，所以係失敗

00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.578
之後佢哋走咗

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:29.578 --> 00:07:33.089
但當時即興表演至係完咗
我同歌迷簽名、擁抱

00:07:33.089 --> 00:07:37.023
一個男仔走埋嚟
遞張十蚊美金嘅鈔票畀我

00:07:37.025 --> 00:07:38.379
佢話：「好對唔住，

00:07:38.379 --> 00:07:42.137
我由朋友嗰度複製咗你張碟。」

00:07:42.137 --> 00:07:45.386
（笑聲）

00:07:45.386 --> 00:07:47.686
「但係我睇過你嘅部落格，

00:07:47.686 --> 00:07:49.511
我知道你憎你嘅唱片公司，

00:07:49.511 --> 00:07:51.795
我只係希望你攞返呢啲錢。」

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:51.795 --> 00:07:55.225
呢類事情開始不斷發生

00:07:55.225 --> 00:07:58.690
每場表演之後，我變成嗰頂籌款嘅帽

00:07:58.690 --> 00:08:01.976
只係我必須企喺嗰度，接受人哋嘅幫助

00:08:01.976 --> 00:08:08.235
相反唔似開場樂隊咁
我練喺度收錢過好多次

00:08:08.235 --> 00:08:10.331
講「多謝、多謝」

NOTE Paragraph

00:08:10.331 --> 00:08:17.122
喺嗰個時候，我決定
將我網上嘅音樂轉做免費

00:08:17.122 --> 00:08:19.216
就好似，Metallica 喺呢邊

00:08:19.216 --> 00:08:20.652
Napster 呢邊

00:08:20.652 --> 00:08:22.430
Amanda Palmer 喺呢邊

00:08:22.430 --> 00:08:25.549
我雖然鼓勵
點對點檔案分享、下載、分享

00:08:25.549 --> 00:08:27.409
但我都想人幫我

00:08:27.409 --> 00:08:30.999
因為我喺街上見到求人呢種方法行得通

00:08:30.999 --> 00:08:33.757
所以我用自己嘅方法擊退咗唱片公司

00:08:33.757 --> 00:08:36.631
同埋為咗我同我嘅新樂團
Grand Theft Orchestra 嘅下個計劃

00:08:36.631 --> 00:08:39.359
我至走去群眾募資

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

00:08:43.527 --> 00:08:46.295
我當時希望支持者可以支持我

00:08:46.295 --> 00:08:49.343
開頭我個目標係十萬美金

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

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

NOTE Paragraph

00:08:56.103 --> 00:09:00.191
（掌聲）

NOTE Paragraph

00:09:00.191 --> 00:09:04.208
你可以睇到有幾多人支持

00:09:04.208 --> 00:09:08.239
即係大約兩萬五千人

NOTE Paragraph

00:09:08.239 --> 00:09:10.477
然後傳媒問我：「Amanda，

00:09:10.477 --> 00:09:13.141
音樂產業落入谷底 ，而你鼓勵盜版，

00:09:13.141 --> 00:09:15.566
咁你點令到啲人畀錢買音樂？」

00:09:15.566 --> 00:09:20.258
答案係，我冇做乜嘢，我只係求佢哋

00:09:20.258 --> 00:09:25.847
透過求人哋呢個動作
我同佢哋建立關係

00:09:25.847 --> 00:09:30.771
當你同佢哋有關係時，人哋就會想幫你

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

00:09:34.545 --> 00:09:36.200
佢哋唔想求人

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:42.116
不過，提出要求都唔容易

00:09:42.116 --> 00:09:44.331
好多藝術家都面對呢個問題

00:09:44.331 --> 00:09:47.142
「求人」令你變得脆弱

NOTE Paragraph

00:09:47.142 --> 00:09:50.888
當我嘅眾籌計劃好受歡迎嘅時候

00:09:50.888 --> 00:09:53.006
我喺網上收到好多批評

00:09:53.006 --> 00:09:55.705
話我唔應該繼續搞眾籌

00:09:55.705 --> 00:10:00.833
尤其唔應該問音樂人
上唔上台同我哋一齊唱歌

00:10:00.833 --> 00:10:05.991
用幾首歌嚟換取樂迷嘅愛心
演唱會嘅門票同酒精飲品

00:10:05.991 --> 00:10:14.028
呢張網上圖片抵毀我，亦都傷害咗我

00:10:14.028 --> 00:10:18.741
人哋話：「你唔可以再求咁樣嘅幫忙」

00:10:18.741 --> 00:10:23.483
而呢句嘢令我諗返
司機對著我大叫「去搵工啦！」

00:10:23.483 --> 00:10:27.687
因為佢哋冇同我哋坐埋同一條船

00:10:27.687 --> 00:10:33.293
佢哋睇唔到我同群眾點樣互惠互利

00:10:33.293 --> 00:10:35.930
呢種互惠互利
對我哋嚟講好公平

00:10:35.930 --> 00:10:38.760
但對佢哋嚟講就好奇怪

NOTE Paragraph

00:10:38.760 --> 00:10:40.684
所以眾籌唔係一帆風順

00:10:40.684 --> 00:10:43.586
呢個係我一班眾籌贊助者
喺柏林開嘅派對

00:10:43.586 --> 00:10:46.837
派對結束嗰陣
我除衫畀人哋喺我身上畫畫

00:10:46.837 --> 00:10:52.756
我話你知，如果你想領會
信陌生人係點嘅感覺

00:10:52.756 --> 00:10:54.837
我推薦呢個活動

00:10:54.837 --> 00:10:58.283
尤其當陌生人都係飲醉咗嘅德國人

00:10:58.283 --> 00:10:59.853
（笑聲）

00:10:59.853 --> 00:11:03.595
呢個係忍者大師級嘅歌迷交流

00:11:03.595 --> 00:11:09.123
因為我真正想講嘅係
我好信任你哋

00:11:09.123 --> 00:11:13.223
我應該咁樣做？話畀我聽呀

NOTE Paragraph

00:11:13.223 --> 00:11:20.419
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

00:11:20.419 --> 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

00:11:24.834 --> 00:11:29.176
以前，成為名人意味著
有啲人隔著好遠鍾意你

00:11:29.176 --> 00:11:36.759
但宜家，網絡同網路上面嘅內容
拉返近明星同樂迷嘅距離

00:11:36.759 --> 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

00:11:40.452 --> 00:11:44.939
細細班人已經可以養活到你

00:11:44.939 --> 00:11:48.314
所以好多人唔理解冇標準定價係咩回事

00:11:48.314 --> 00:11:51.690
佢哋認為冇標準定價
會帶嚟無法預料嘅風險

00:11:51.690 --> 00:11:55.014
但我做嘅嘢
包括眾籌、街頭募款、㩒陌生人門鐘

00:11:55.014 --> 00:11:56.002
都唔係風險

00:11:56.002 --> 00:11:58.097
我視呢啲嘢為一種對人嘅信任

00:11:58.097 --> 00:12:01.315
宜家，網路工具
令呢種歌手同樂迷之間嘅交易

00:12:01.315 --> 00:12:04.681
同喺街頭求助一樣直接、簡單

00:12:04.681 --> 00:12:06.893
而且呢種轉變就快成為潮流

00:12:06.893 --> 00:12:12.702
但如果我哋無辦法見到人
而係怕付出、接收、同求人

00:12:12.702 --> 00:12:17.368
咁呢個完美嘅工具就幫唔到我哋

NOTE Paragraph

00:12:21.818 --> 00:12:24.492
喺我嘅音樂生涯裏邊

00:12:24.492 --> 00:12:30.016
我一直嘗試用我企喺箱
同人交流嘅方法同人喺網上交流

00:12:30.016 --> 00:12:33.865
所以部落格同推文
唔單止講到我嘅巡迴演出日期

00:12:33.865 --> 00:12:35.005
同我新嘅音樂錄影

00:12:35.005 --> 00:12:41.696
仲有講到我哋嘅作品、我哋嘅藝術
我哋嘅恐懼、醉酒同過失

00:12:41.696 --> 00:12:44.007
咁樣我哋就能夠明白對方

00:12:44.007 --> 00:12:50.428
當我哋真正了解大家
我哋就會想幫人

NOTE Paragraph

00:12:51.278 --> 00:12:54.926
我認為人哋一直問咗一個錯嘅問題︰

00:12:54.926 --> 00:12:58.540
「我哋點樣令人哋畀錢買音樂？」

00:12:58.540 --> 00:13:00.988
點解唔一開始問：

00:13:00.988 --> 00:13:05.632
「我哋點樣令人自發買音樂？」

NOTE Paragraph

00:13:05.632 --> 00:13:08.483
多謝

NOTE Paragraph

00:13:08.483 --> 00:13:12.933
（掌聲）
