Touch the Sound
by Thomas Riedelsheimer (2004, 99 minutes)

How do you make music if you can’t hear? Evelyn Glennie, a deaf master percussionist, invites us into a meditative world where she literally "hears" with her body. Director Riedelsheimer (Rivers and Tides) creates a visually exquisite and joyous film that inspires us to tune-in to our surroundings in a radically new way. Also starring noted avant-garde musician Fred Frith.
