Documentary looking at deaf classical percussionist Evelyn Glennie. Despite being unable to hear since the age of 12, the film explores how Glennie is able to perceive and interpret sounds with body parts other than her ears. The documentary follows Glennie on tour as she performs with different artists around the world, including experimental musician Fred Frith in an abandoned factory in Germany at the suggestion of director Thomas Riedelsheimer. Touch the Sound passionately and delightfully shatters the way we think about sound. Gracefully guided by Grammy Award-winning percussionist Evelyn Glennie, who also happens to be deaf, this groundbreaking film opens the door to a world where sight, sound and touch magically converge to elevate our everyday sensory experiences.
