Evelyn is one of those souls that make me feel, honestly, deeply jealous. I know that is my own issue, but it's true. People who live "unrestrictedly" in their way of being in the world of human exploration and expression like she seems to. To be that immersed in your experience of life. She is a flower of the Universe, you know?
@MrKayaker69 Indeed, not only to study alongside Evelyn but also to have experienced such a wonderful music education. I remember playing with her in the Academy's Symphony orchestra. Was amazed how she tuned the timpani by vibrations through her fingertips.
I am big fan of yours who plays a wonderful piano and wonderful drumsticks and so many things I love it Evelyn glennie you are so wonderful in this whole life world I
She "hears" with all her bones! After all that's how we all hear with tiny bones in our ears. So much fun watching her and quite the teacher is she. Obsession? No, calling yes! I also like the way she fits in her clothes, LOL. Very nice and special. Never stop Ms Glennie, my mother never stopped and is approaching 90 now!
Sencillamente...esta GRAN Dama es algo EXTRAORDINARIO, hasta divino me atrevo a pensar...Una Beethoven de esta epoca... Tremenda leccion que nos da esta GENIAL mujer Evelyn Glennie sobre el ALMA del sonido y la melodia...increible !!!! Con justa razon una Gran radio de musica CLASICA y Jazz de USA en Filadelfia, le esta dedicando un programa a Ella en estos dias. Saludos amigos del mundo entero desde Peru.
I absolutely love Evelyn!!! I first became aware of her via the documentary that was about her, Touch The Sound, I believe is what it is was titled. Man, such passion and unbelievable sensitivity to everything she plays.
I found an artist who by using specially designed microphones, combined the sounds that were borrowed of trees and in combination with synthesizer music into a composition called "talking trees". (I think his name was Bert Bartens) I tend to be amazed by "the emotional feeling tones" life shares and turns into music for me. Granted I am a bit Goofy, but inspired listening with your whole body or bits of it make for a wonderful "heavenly hums" and bright smiles, that catch people of guard and spirits these smiles, on and on. Truely inspiring and her passion vivid. Thanks . . .
I had a whole chapter about her in my book... & my hand couldn't stop exploring more things..

@@elmhurst86 You've only read the surface of SGT's comment. And projected your bias onto it as well. She's way attractive to me too. Whatever tho'. It's all inconsequential
She’s sort of like Toph from Avatar. Toph was blind and felt the vibrations in the ground with her feet to see a picture. This lady feels vibrations through her body to hear a sound.
Your career as a percussionist is amazing! I heard that we are related on the Howie side of our family in Scottland. My dad was Richard J. Howie. My siblings & I would love to meet you if you ever perform in California! Sincerely, Julie (Howie) Raff.
Its nice to see some of my instruments (Ddpercussion) in the clips, the black and shiny bell drum and later a large 42in frame drum on the wall, Thanks for posting this up
Playlist : 1/2 Evelyn Glennie - What Do Artists Do All Day ? Evelyn Glennie is a Grammy-winning classical percussionist whose solo work is unrivalled. She is also profoundly deaf. For Evelyn, sound is palpable and rhythm is the basis of everything. Without vibration, there is nothing. From silence to music, sound is felt through every sense in our bodies.
Awesome! I want to go play at her house! I think she could be 'instrumental' in the fine tuning of my work as an artist. Our bodies are made up of FREQUENCIES. Sound is information. When we think we are only 'hearing', we are in reality, resonating with the frequencies. Our bodies are PLAYING the music. Its i our bodies we 'hear' and respond to.
I have seen her twice. Once in concert with orchestra, then at PASIC. I got to talk to her, and her husband at PASIC. Nice people! She is an amazing person!!
Forgive me for being uneducated about deafness, but for someone who has been profoundly deaf since a young age, she seems like she can hear quite fine! Is she just an amazing reader of lips, or does she feel sound vibrations or something?
bamsb90 I have a deaf son, so I can possibly give you an answer. It all depends at what age hearing loss happens. At 12, language is already established and with the skill of lip reading, you won't know the difference in speech. As far as sound goes...most deaf people "feel" sound. I have seen deaf people dance a million times better than hearing people...they feel those vibrations and have an amazing sense of rhythm...I couldn't move like that if I wanted to. :-D
Elmarie Smit That's quite spectacular! What a discipline it must be to feel vibrations and process them as sound. Is your son like that, can he "hear" despite his deafness?
He had a cochlear implant earlier this year, so now he hears better than his dad, but yes...before that he "heard" vibration. His hearing loss was because of ear infections and fever and became evident at three years of age, so his language is definitely not as strong as Evelyn's, but he could feel sound and would react to the vibrations. It really is something to experience...especially with the kids. :D
What a beautiful and charming artist you are in every way. Becoming more and more beautiful obviously. Listening at your sense of music and humor I could have wished for you to have played with Frank Zappa. Anyway, I am myself loosing my hearing and use my visual ability in music. I have though certain treatment which might help you regain at least some hearing if its even useful for you. I now see in the comments below Im not the only one seeing a kindred spirit in you to Zappa.
My day as a musician 1. wake Up 2. Go to workout 3. Compose and record music by 10/12 hours 4. Go to workout 5. Go to sleep … it is like 5-6 days a week but sometimes something changes
Is this video available anywhere with actual subtitles that aren't the sad excuse of "Closed Captioning" that Google cobbles together on the fly?? I would like to share it with people who have hearing impairments.
I have to add a subnote here.. I was a functional drummer but not memorable at all! The coolest thing was that Mr Forbes never once boasted about his star pupil.. he just came in, taught me some stuff, threw some jazz riffs on the piano and I clumsily played along. Good times.
Only 10 seconds into video and false claim made by the BBC that she is the "FIRST" musician to make a career as a solo percussionist. Ever hear of Frank Arsenault ? ? ? ? He was a solo performer back in the 50's and still regarded as one of the premier percussionist of all time.
I don't believe she's deaf. She speaks perfectly with a perfect volume control, a thing that a really deaf person cannot do. Maybe she hears in a mysterious way, but she's not deaf (at 04:00 she hears the person without seeing it...).
+andsalomoni But she didn't become deaf until she was 12, by which time she was capable of normal speech. I don't agree that "...at 04.00 she hears the person without seeing it..." (I assume you mean "them"). Her eyes had the person in sight and she clearly saw their mouth moving, indicating that they were speaking. Then her lipreading skills clearly kicked in. She became profoundly deaf at the age of 12. Who are you to question that? Your comments seem bitter and angry, as if you feel that, rather than having achieved a remarkable progress in her field to the point of being unique in the world of percussion, she should be accused of some kind of con. How dare you...
+manfromelpaso I should have written 03:56, you can see that she's looking straight ahead and then turns her head to the right to see the person who's talking to her, but maybe she saw him periferically... I really am not angry towards her, she's a very good musician even if she can't hear very well what she plays (I've read she studied clarinet too, but she quitted it, maybe because with horns you must hear perfectly the correct intonation of what you play). I am angry towards the so-called "Star-system" that puts the "prodigy under the spotlight", especially if it is a person with some impairment and who is presented as semidivine, kind of superior to normal musicians. I have written somewhere else "let's wait for a blind painter". I repeat, I would never accuse her of any con, there are other people who are con-men...
I didn't really know of Evelyn Glennie till now, but as soon as I heard her do her thing, I knew immediately that she was one of bjork's collaborative percussionists that I'd heard on the Telegram remix album from the late nineties.... Check out "My Spine"... th-cam.com/video/MY89pMzeTO8/w-d-xo.html LOVE!!!!
Cara Evelyne, volevo dirti che prima che guardassi questo video,mi eri simpatica...........,io ho suonato per 10 anni quasi sulle pentole e sui cuscini di stoffa logorata....,ma questo non per scelta, o per fare una ricerca del suono introspettiva, no aspetta come dici tu???? LISTEN,Listen the wind, la royal accademy quà e là..........,purtroppo io il mio primo strumento me lo sono guadagnato lavorando sodo per anni, e guardare te mi fà venire una rabbia!!!!!Almeno tu sei un genio musicale e puoi permettertelo,questo è anche vero,ma devo dirti che con questo video mi è crollato un mito

Everyone has a unique gift . 🍄
Absolute genius. Thank you for a lovely documentary.
ONe of the most brilliant percussionists in the world. How interesting to see a slice of her life behind the scenes.
I was in the same year at the Royal Academy of Music with Evelyn
@MrKayaker69 Indeed, not only to study alongside Evelyn but also to have experienced such a wonderful music education. I remember playing with her in the Academy's Symphony orchestra. Was amazed how she tuned the timpani by vibrations through her fingertips.
cannot say how much I am in love with Dame Evelyn Glennie :)... one of the most inspiring human beings that I have ever witnessed...
I lover her spirit, people like this never get old
I am big fan of yours who plays a wonderful piano and wonderful drumsticks and so many things I love it Evelyn glennie you are so wonderful in this whole life world I
It's quite inspirational watching Evelyn

I also like the way she fits in her clothes, LOL. Very nice and special. Never stop Ms Glennie, my mother never stopped and is approaching 90 now!
Love her energy. She just seems so lively and curious about things.
what a true master .. Dame Evelyn Glennie makes the world a better place!

Omg... What a Unique Artist I saw her 2night @ London @ Barbican Centre & she literally took my breath away
Thanks , just discovered Ms Evelyn, she is bringing to the world
À gentle touch full of passion!
What an absolutely incredible lady!!! . . . . . . . .
I love what you sound Evelyn......!
Giant Talent !!!! watching a journey reminder of the journey

"...my main instrument that I paint sound on..." That is so cool!
She is such a good speaker she could keep you
interested all day.At 2x speed she is easy to follow.

This is a profound GENIUS.
Quiet an attractive gal. I love her energy. Well educated. She has done very well on her own. I wish she had played with Zappa and Ruth Underwood.
+SGT I was just thinking about Evelyn and Ruth Underwood playing together and then I saw your comment. Wow!
Zappa that would have been something
Man - we're all on the same wavelength. The first few seconds of this video made me think of Underwood and Zappa also. Good call people.
Really?! The first statement you have to make is about her looks?! What the hell does her attractiveness have to do with her abilities?!?!?
@@elmhurst86 You've only read the surface of SGT's comment. And projected your bias onto it as well. She's way attractive to me too. Whatever tho'. It's all inconsequential
Such an inspiring human being!!! Wow...
Wat an talent
Adding this to my course for next year, along with another EG video I've been showing for years. More useful context for my students. Love it.
A fellow Aberdonian and vibist ❤
She’s sort of like Toph from Avatar. Toph was blind and felt the vibrations in the ground with her feet to see a picture. This lady feels vibrations through her body to hear a sound.
I am in love with this woman
I LOVE THIS LADY!!! XOXOXOX
I first saw her at the 2015 Polar Music Prize award ceremony . A great artist !
this is a film about proper education .. she has had good teachers, one after the other.. and good parents
especially because dad did not play the accordion for her :)
Shes amazing...
Amazing vedio
Your career as a percussionist is amazing! I heard that we are related on the Howie side of our family in Scottland. My dad was Richard J. Howie. My siblings & I would love to meet you if you ever perform in California! Sincerely, Julie (Howie) Raff.
A fantastic musician!

+Art Documentaries can you take a look at my vids if you get a chance, i make creepy baby animal art
Wrong.
How beautiful..
Wonderfull!!!
A lot of her stuff sounds like the soundtrack in Hannibal.
well said
Wrenches? Complete awesomeness!! 1:12
That Wah wah one is very cool.
Awesome! I want to go play at her house! I think she could be 'instrumental' in the fine tuning of my work as an artist.
Our bodies are made up of FREQUENCIES. Sound is information. When we think we are only 'hearing', we are in reality,

my god, this is like a wet dream for someone like me
Intense and eccentric woman.

Nice evelyn glennie
I think I'm in love.
I have seen her twice. Once in concert with orchestra, then at PASIC. I got to talk to her, and her husband at PASIC. Nice people! She is an amazing person!!

Elmarie Smit He sound like he's a very strong kid :) Thanks for enlightening me, pleasure to hear your story!
Anyone knows the name of the resonant tube she uses at 8:14 ?
Thank you !
I wonder if Evelyn Glennie has ever performed with Herbie Hancock ? I think they would compliment each other very well.
I'd like Bobbie McFarrin and Glennie to make a sound project
She followed him at TED in 2003: th-cam.com/video/IU3V6zNER4g/w-d-xo.html

1. wake Up
2. Go to workout
3. Compose and record music by 10/12 hours
4. Go to workout
5. Go to sleep
… it is like 5-6 days a week but sometimes something changes
Is she come in INDIA
I want my home to look like that
It's a timber framed kit house by Potton
I WANT THAT MBIRA!!
What is she playing at 2:44?
Array mbira
Is this video available anywhere with actual subtitles that aren't the sad excuse of "Closed Captioning" that Google cobbles together on the fly?? I would like to share it with people who have hearing impairments.
whats about the question in the title........?
I wonder if she and Ruth Underwood (from Frank Zappa's band) ever talked or worked together.
I wonder if Evelyn has played any of Harry Partch's self-built percussion instruments.
So wait, she doesn't use hearing aids when playing nor whilst talking with people? I'm confused. She doesn't use them at all?
Plus, how is she getting the money for this stuff? this is expensive
rstuvwx y
she's secretly money laundering for the mob. Did you watch the same video as me?
She works all the time that is how she pays for everything.
Beethoven
She seems to have heard the question at 4.00
Paul Curtin Lip reading.
Cool AF
You are my ear
Ah Mr Forbes.. i wonder how you viewed me in the shade of your star pupil....
I have to add a subnote here.. I was a functional drummer but not memorable at all! The coolest thing was that Mr Forbes never once boasted about his star pupil.. he just came in, taught me some stuff, threw some jazz riffs on the piano and I clumsily played along. Good times.

8:40 Sensitivity.
The vast majority of artists either work full time at a job or have a spouse who works full time at a job. That's how the bills get paid.
I came here by chance and have to say , VERY intresting , i dont play drums or percussion , i m a Guitarist
Don't rush
To use the body as a huge ear !
