[theoarsofdebt]

i'm in big

real big

[irabovsky]

Funny thing is that she's deaf. She literally 'feels' the music. Love it.

[Oceanmachine27]

Man, if you can't hear what's going on here, I feel really, really bad for you.

[blackestcrow2004]

i'll have whatever drugs they had..:)):)):)):))

even my dog can improvise like that, does that mean that my dog is an artist? :)):)):))

art for the love of art. in other words CRAP!!!!

[Oceanmachine27]

@blackestcrow2004 You don't like the sounds?

[UndermediaInfo]

wow

[bobbym47]

this is genuinely ridiculous...

[bobbym47]

@JukeboxHeartbreak91 thanks, thats exactly what i did do, but look at this you have brought me back to this video again so i have to say how silly it is a second time.... very silly.

[SweetSunshineCamper]

Wow that is amazing! I can't believe she's deaf, it inspires me!

[Jacobplaystrumpet]

I love drugs.

[mistahmaxi]

Hippies.

I've listened to Evelyn for years. She is fantastic as is the fellow in this video. Find the dvd of this at your library and watch the whole thing if you have a chance.

There are many ways to be in the world as nature is so diverse. If the majority of people in the world experienced it in the manner that Evelyn does, then the rest of us would be the ones labeled as having a disability.

how it is filmed adds so much atmosphere to the music. the smoke and the feather at the end...almost perfect

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

I was watching a TED Talks conference given by Glennie only yesterday, just found Fred Frith today, and now suddenly this! I almost can't believe it! Small world, eh?

[grrrroink]

From wiki :

Glennie has been profoundly deaf since age 12. This does not inhibit her ability to perform at the international level. She regularly plays barefoot for both live performances and studio recordings, better to "feel" the music.

[vamptina]

@grrrroink also to feel the vibration literally i suppose? she wrote a book tittled good virbation

[scottmsharon]

You should get your facts straight before you spew baloney.

[Dyadechka10]

@scottmsharon frith- guitar virtuoso

[StrongHeartLives]

How come in the performance she gives at TED talks she describes learning to play the drums "listen" to music by distinguishing notes based on feeling of the sound through her whole body and that she wasn't going to be allowed to study music at the royal academy of music because she was deaf? She talks about having to fight them on the issue of discrimination because of her disability.

[gimpsucks]

Beautiful beyond belief.

[blackestcrow2004]

@gimpsucks yeah... really beautiful :)):)):)) lol lol lol.

[ibonyun]

[sonybloke]

[joecoz88]

they are called kempul I believe, they come from Java.

[sveikauskovich]

you are correct. those are distinctly indonesian, though they are traditionally suspended in the air by taught ropes.
