How to translate the feeling into sound | Claudio | TEDxPerth

How can a song - written by a perfect stranger - feel as if it were written about you? Composer/artist/producer Claudio explains her art, purpose and technique, and finishes with an exclusive unveiling of her new track: "I was a Rockstar".
In her solo live performances, Claudio creates and orchestrates songs with complex layering in real-time using music technology. To her, the art is in making sure both the technology and technique are driven by the heart - and achieve a delicate balance between control and instinct.
Rachel Claudio is a Perth-born/European-based artist/composer/singer/producer and university lecturer. She works with major labels and composes scores for film and TV. Her live video performances have captured the hearts and minds of millions of viewers.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    I remember watching this when it came out. Entranced by her and her artistic ability - desiring more than anything to be able to do what she does. Here I am, watching it 4 years later, and I have my own set-up and am producing / writing my own music on a daily basis. The connection to source through this solitude is very pure. She's incredible in her expression.

    As a musician who has a very identical approach what hits me most is that she is able to produce such feeling in front of a pretty much dead audience. I have always waited for a sort of dialogue. I lay out my feelings and someone will nod and reassure me. She doesn't wait for the audience to agree with her. She just shouts her feelings, knowing that if they are sincere they will reach those who are eager to listen. thank you.

    She can see and feel music literally . I can tell. Some of the audience may see it as just “music”. But this is an extension of life and expression that only certain people have the gift of understanding. It’s like a 6th sense. I wish I was there live. And I love how she incorporates the metronome at certain parts, because it’s not only just to keep tempo. She’s using it as an instrument.

    YT is filled with musical artists that have been doing this sort of thing live for over a decade. Making music in one's humble home studio and then sharing it with the world is an honor, even when the world couldn't care less. Many great YT musicians don't get the honor and respect that they deserve. Almost all do it for free out of love for their craft. The competition for viewers is astoundingly immense, and great music will go unheard too. So, if you do come across some music that you think is good, give them a thumbs up rather than just moving on to another channel. It helps the musician and it shows respect for something that is given to you free of charge.

However, in her communication she does all of that and more by inferring that her emotional experience is definitely hers and therefore so is yours, ours. There is a profound sophistication in her sharing her artform. She is truly genius. I am so inspired.

    @Justice Briana Coming from an empathic place, "getting it" is a tough word 😅. People fall under aspects and get some things and not others... you know what I mean? Broken qualities of good and bad add flavor to the world of imperfections made "perfect" through our own living experiences through it 💞. I know what you mean wanting to find those that "get it", trust me! But they maybe closer than you think and you just don't have the right frame of reference to see them. A great example of this would be the cover album of Santana, a lion drawing at first glance but more if you actually look at it, or the old lady/young lady ink drawing. Our "senses", upbringing, and environment have a way of distorting what is and isn't. Seeing clearly is the great divider.

    what an inspiration! A professional musician for 45 years, I lost the use of my hands due to severe arthritis. I'm now beginning to retrain myself using phone Apps. hearing the beautiful musicality that Rachel can bring forth from what most people would dismiss as button pushing is truly a wonderful inspiration for someone like me. as I became increasingly disabled, two things became apparent to me. One, I am a musician, still think, and hear, and listen like a musician. Two, my creativity started coming out and all sorts of strange and funny way of such as learning how to make toys for children out of bamboo, which I grow. You can't keep creativity down.

    Ever since I first watched it, that part has lived rent free in my brain. It is just so smooth and I loved the musical homage to the lyrics. It was perfectly in sync. Really, this whole thing was just stellar, and made me want to cry. I had a gut wrenching reaction to some of her instrument and note choices, which tells me what my own inner world vibes with and gives me a sort of compass to seek out my own direction artistically one day. I watch this periodically when I feel I need to connect to the inner world and the source. Just a beautiful gem of a talk.

    6:43 She put perfectly into words how I feel about producing music as well. I do enjoy working with other people, but working in solitude (often in the wee hours), I seem to able to tap into something I can't when there's others around. Funny how this also goes both ways though, working with others can also give you fresh views and ideas you haven't had before.
