Touch the Sound - DVD Review
Okay, so I have been in a learning mode recently. I don’t want to learn things a school might teach me. I
find myself wanting to learn about the human spirit and things that are not talked about.
I brought home yet another documentary tonight. As I watched it I was kind of taken back by the artist’s
child like reaction to sound, in general. As the show went on I started feeling as if her reaction to “all”
sound was what made her an exceptional artist.
A long time ago my ex introduced me to a guitar player. That is all this artist did. I remember listening to
the CD and being totally captured by a particular song. It would literally sweep me away and make me feel
so unbelievably sad. There were no lyrics, I didn’t know the artist, nor did I know the song. It turned out to
be Joe Satriani’s “Cry”.
This is how Evelyn Glennie's music makes me feel. I don’t necessarily mean that it makes me want to
cry. I am saying… there are no words but you know exactly what she is expressing.
Towards the end a guy quotes Richard Long. He said something like, “Artists are people who are in touch
with the energy they had when they were children. They never lost it.”
Evelyn later asks, “What really makes you be you?”
I don’t own anything by her at this moment, but I will! Her music took my breath away and literally gave me
chills.
She also said, “We need to eat, we need to sleep, and we need music.”
Incredible!
