Touch the Sound: A Sound Journey with Evelyn Glennie
Gracefully guided by Grammy Award-winning and nearly-deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie, this groundbreaking film opens the door to a world where sight, sound and touch magically converge to elevate our everyday sensory experiences. Acclaimed German documentarian Thomas Riedelsheimer, passionately weaves awe-inspiring performances and street noises with artful silences and visual collages to gently, but powerfully entrance and engage us in Glennie's artistry. From an improvisation with chopsticks and cans in a Japanese restaurant, to a stunning recording session with avant-garde musician Fred Frith at a dilapidated warehouse in Germany, Riedelsheimer's camera captures this globe-trotting phenomenon in all her splendor.
