Touch the sound


View image source.


How does one hear through our bodies?
Yes, our bodies. Not the ears.

Touch the sound.
Experience hearing as a form of touch.

If you are lost,
Check out the trailer of the documentary Touch the Sound here.

My thanks to Hella Frisch for pointing me to Touch the Sound, a documentary exploring the life and art of percussionist Evelyn Glennie.

I remember reading that deaf people enjoy the vibrations of music. Hard to imagine. I guess ears are a handicap in this regard.

SA: Once I was playing my instrument, and I realised how lovely the vibrations from the instrument could be. So healing....

Pinkie: My pleasure. :)
