DOCDAY: Touch the Sound

http://www.sundancechannel.com/blocks/docday Scottish percussionist and Grammy™ Award-winning musician Evelyn Glennie lost most of her ability to hear when she was a teenager. Yet that loss has only heightened her other senses. As she articulately reflects on her art in this impressionistic musical odyssey directed, edited and photographed by documentarian Thomas Riedelsheimer (Rivers and Tides), Glennie describes how she hears through touch with her whole body sensitive to vibrations in the air. "Inspiring ... beautifully shot and filled with gorgeous music" -- Chicago Tribune.

New DocDay films every Monday on Sundance Channel.

this was visually stunning and an exersize in much more than experimental percussion. Loved the footage, and the use of instruments in a way that i love to see. A must see for people interested in cinema.
