Description: http://www.ted.com In this soaring demonstration, deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie leads the audience through an exploration of music not as notes on a page, but as an expression of the human experience. Playing with sensitivity and nuance informed by a soul-deep understanding of and connection to music, she talks about a music that is more than sound waves perceived by the human ear. She illustrates a richer picture that begins with listening to yourself, and includes emotion and intent as well as the complex role of physical spaces -- instrument, concert hall and even the bones and body cavities of musician and listener alike.

jamielee09 ::: Favorites she also did not go deaf until she was 12, the language was already there and the ability to speak had already been learned, all she had to do was maintain it. 07-08-26 00:08:54 _____________________________________________________
