Different way of understanding music


All of us always listen the music with professional instruments and lots of computer effects but seldom find the raw materials or real life object around us to make a piece of nice sound.  Yet, Evelyn is the special one introducing me any sound can make as a piece of music as well potentially though the film - Touch the sound . 

In this film, how could you believe that Evelyn Glennie is nearly deaf. From her performance, the connections among sound, rhythm, time, and the body gave me a new experience and perception to music. Listening the music is not with our ears, but our mind and our body. 

She believes hearing is simply another form of touch. To be frank, i feel lucky for her that she born in western country but not in Hong Kong, it s because she found her mainstream audience and creates sound without commercial needs. Her passion for music became her life, she passionate for searching new instruments and percussive objects, working with other hearing-impaired musicians. During the film, I looked forward what her next beautiful work will be, what objects she will use immediately to make sound. All in all,  her movements and touches when she play sound moves me as well, her metal and thoughts injected me. 

Its simply not a film admiration, but a new experience of sound.
