Listen on

Episode notes

There is so much more to music than sound. There's the emotion you feel when you hear your favourite song, the intensity of watching a live performance, and the vibrations of the beat that thump through your chest. As our guest Dame Evelyn Glennie puts it, our bodies are resonating chambers. Dame Evelyn is an award-winning, deaf, multi percussionist. Though she might not hear sound in the typical sense, she can hear the rhythm, the beat and the emotion through other parts of her body. For a fascinating new perspective on the power of music, and plenty of tips for your writing, this episode has you covered.
