Music lovers take note!

This documentary explores the connections among sound, rhythm, time, and the body by following (nearly deaf) Scottish percussionist Evelyn Glennie around the world. Directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer (Rivers and Tides), this film masterfully portrays an artist, perhaps the foremost exponent of solo percussion performance and of percussion concerti with orchestras, in a most striking and all encompassing manner. Riedelsheimer's engaging interweaving of visual and aural elements yields insights about our basic need to express and experience music.

"Whether you are interested in music or not, this film is well worth seeing for the fascinating glimpse it affords into the world of a phenomenal human being who hears with her whole body. Touch the Sound reminds us that we are all rhythmic beings in a rhythmic universe, and that there are many beautiful and compelling ways of perceiving sound and vibration other than just through our ears.” - Shasta Martinuk
