Music

[Greta]

Percussionist Evelyn Glennie explained that the ability to play music as a deaf person comes from being able to feel and interpret the vibrations. What amazes me is that she finds beauty in vibrations just as most people do with sound.

This suggest that we each have a latent innate ability to perceive beauty in music by vibration alone. Beautiful vibrations ... maaan ;) (Sorry, couldn't resist). Also, it seems that we have latent echolocation abilities too.

That's all music is--vibrations. It's very mysterious the way it can affect and move us at a fundamental level. Physics would come up with an explanation for it. Strange that some are more affected and moved by it than others. It's no coincidence that many scientists are also musicians. Einstein was an excellent violinist.

I heard somewhere that a blind person first "saw" their other person in the rain because they could "hear" the raindrops hitting the other person. I remember being at concerts where I could feel the vibrations of the music inside, not just hearing the music. Perhaps echolocation is only developed when other senses are lacking.

Someone should develop a special water pistol for the blind to help them meet more new people.

Yes. If you are struggling to perceive your environment then any cue can help "map" it.

It's odd thing, though, perceiving the beauty of timbre, harmony and melody without being able to hear.

Be careful Harb. If you get VT by accident, she'd accuse you of being more violent than the US.

I was listening to this piece, the whole thing, long before the movie came out.

Could this be the most moving piece of music ever written? Sound quality isn't perfect, but it's the only rendition I could find with the oboe (my favourite orchestral instrument) solo. It would be equally suitable for a wedding or a funeral. I remember they played it at princess Diana's funeral.

My older daughter used that music as her wedding march, it was played on a violin and organ.
