Cane Toads: An Unnatural History

Synopsis
Touch the Sound takes us on a remarkable journey with Evelyn Glennie, one of the world’s foremost musicians, a Grammy-winning classical percussionist whose solo work is unrivaled … and she is also deaf. Touch the Sound is her story. Supported by her caring father, Evelyn overcame considerable obstacles to become an extraordinary success. To her, sound is palpable and rhythm is the basis of everything. Without vibration, there is nothing. From silence to music, from hearing to seeing and to feeling, sound is felt through every sense in our body.
Cinematographer and director Thomas Riedelsheimer (director of the award-winning box office success Rivers and Tides) demonstrates his knack for mapping a world of senses, of colorful images, and evocative sounds of Japan, England, California, and New York.
