Evelyn is profoundly deaf, but is an absolutely amazing musician/percussionist, as well as person.

In this video she gives a clinic on how to listen with the whole body. Herbie Hancock has provided her this platform.



There is a movie out about her worth seeing called:

"Touch The Sound"

I agree with you Ingrid, she is amazing. "Touch the sound" was broadcasted some time ago here in Sweden and it was just wonderful to see and hear her. My luck I recorded it, gotta watch it again right now. Thanks for the reminder.
Love her Scottish too !

Listening To: Evelyn Glennie

Naturally she's amazing - she's Scottish (with the stubborness intact). Love how she's stripping music & sounds down to a fully sensory experience. Really it's a return to the roots. Interesting how she doesn't label any music 'good' or 'bad.' When she dropped the sticks I was reminded of John Bonham's hand drumming; it's a shock at first, then the sounds touch you...
