Touch the Sound: A Sound Journey with Evelyn Glennie

I am still a student, but Evelyn Glennie learned that she was blind. Instead of giving up studying music, she showed such a talent, but she took her attention to percussion instruments and cultivated her ability to feel sound through her body. This documentary talks about her performances in New York, Germany and Tokyo and shares her insight about the essence of music and our music experience.

Evelyn Glennie is a multi-percussionist. She can perfectly play about 1000 instruments. She can not hear that sound. Evelyn suffered from disability and became a source of inspiration for people with thousands of disabilities. She is very jealous. When it turned out to be hearing impaired, she was only 11 years old. She wants to continue her career in music but her teacher is disappointed with her and it recognizes her possibilities and helps her achieve her goals Is Ron Forbes. He recommended not to listen to her ears but to try it out in other ways. Soon she was very excited. She felt the vibration of the top drum from the waist and the drums from the waist down. Later she noticed that she could feel the vibration of the various parts of the body. These stimulate her skin, cheekbones and even hair. She learned to open the sound and vibration of her body and mind. Later, she never looked back.
