Percussion is the most adaptable family of instruments. The biggest challenge is to project percussion in a lyrical way.
From Evelyn Glennie
I am really quite fascinated by echo-locating bats and dolphins and have always wondered how sound affects the unconscious brain.
I like the sparkle of the vibraphone.
The human body and mind are tremendous forces that are continually amazing scientists and society. Therefore, we have no choice but to keep an open mind as to what the human being can achieve.
Music is about communication... it isn't just something that maybe physically sounds good or orally sounds interesting; it's something far, far deeper than that.
If I just simply let go, and allow my hand, my arm, to be more of a support system, suddenly - I have more dynamic with less effort. Much more, and I just feel, at last, one with the stick, and one with the drum.
Holidays are about experiences and people, and tuning into what you feel like doing at that moment. Enjoy not having to look at a watch.
Society cannot continue to disable themselves through their need to categorize people or make assumptions as to another individual's abilities.
The thing about playing percussion is that you can create all these emotions that can be sometimes beautiful, sometimes really ugly, or sometimes sweet, sometimes as big as King Kong and so on. And so there can be a real riot out there, or it can be so refined.
Hearing is a form of touch. You feel it through your body, and sometimes it almost hits your face.
