are there any known deaf musicians ? i would want to listen to some of their music ! it interests me how it sounds and how they create it. |

evelyn glennie - percussionist [mainly pitched-percussion]. |

If they were always deaf, they'd just be doing certain visual patterns with the instrument, not knowing what anything actually sounded like, just judging it all on hearing-people's reactions. The end result would probably be about as good as blind painter who paints by his/her sense of touch. But you never know, it could be possible that if they were taught certain 'rules' of composition, they could make something that sounds nice, but I think it would be impossible for them to really express themselves through the music. |

thought the same - but i want to hear some of it |

apparently deaf people can teach themselves to pick up on vibrations. I imagine the music would be very loud, and I'd love to hear some.. sounds like it could be interesting... |

|
vibration or just looking at the spectral analysis |
||||||||

deafness isn't always pure silence, it is like the numbing of the auditory system. |
||||||||
|
|

I've heard that they can sense the vibrations, and some deaf people like to go to see loud music/concerts, but I doubt that it is possible for them to feel the vibrations enough to really have a grasp on the interplay of simultaneous notes and textures, etc. Although, they probably could make some kick-ass 'Idm' that we'd all just eat up. |

i would laugh my ass off if merzbow would be deaf :> |

Yeah, but however you define it, it still results in an inability to hear the outside world. |
||||||||

i would start a label, call it deaf jam and release that shit |
||||||||
|

If you think about it, it could actually work for some kinds of noise /music concrete. They could just look at the waveforms and develop the song visually. Though I don't know if I would personally call the end result 'music'. I guess the whole 'noise music' thing is a bit iffy when it comes pinning down what kind of artistic expression it really is. |

i'm not sure a individual would want to make music, using solely visual techniques. where would the enjoyment be in that? |
||||||||

It's funny that most musicans limit themselves to those rigid harmonic rules, but without even really thinking about it. I guess a real avant garde music snob would say that a musician aught to be deaf if all they are doing is exercising a tried-and-true scale. Interesting article, though. |

Mylittlesister, have you seen the movie "Touch of Sound" about Gleenie and her collaboration with Fred Frith? Some pretty amazing music they play together, especially in the early parts of the movie. Or maybe you even have their album. Is it out yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, i have not seen that film, and i have no knowledge about any evelyn glennie albums, perhaps i should take a look/listen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that's a really good article ! thanks ! |
||||||||
|
|

I'll do a search for that movie on some trackers. Maybe it's available. It's very good apart for some cliched documentary scenes like a visit to family home, a chat with her brother etc. |

No luck here, no torrent, nothing on the ed2k network. Sad. Maybe it'll come on DVD when the EG+FF album is ready. |

Evelyn Glennie - is worth hearing |

|

|

thanks ! |

No worries - there's also a Best Of LP that my dad has. It was my first introduction to Evelyn Glennie & features her two collaborations with Björk. |

dammit! you said all i was going to say. Infact all of you have mostly talked the topic through and through. side note: Beethoven wrote some pieces while he was death. Many composers compose by listening to what is good or not. Rumour has it that Beethoven dreamt the music and saw the notes of his later pieces. |

I want to see a movie made by a blind person. And no I'm not talking about the Woody Allen pic he did about that, a true one ;) |

i've actually heard about deaf raves, where they wheel in enormous subs and have all sorts of visuals. |
||||||||
|

My old drummer for a band I jammed with used to have to go to camps and stuff because she was born legally deaf or something like that. She has 2 hearing aids and stuff. The trained here and stuff to recognize vibration and some other aspects of music at some of these sessions. ANYWAY one day my friend was like "Hey my GF wants to drum for us!" she sat behind the drums and was like really awesome . Not only did she have an ear impairment she drummed really awesome for someone who never drummed before. Our band was this noise rock thing I always wanted to do so don't expect smooth jazz or something heh, but if you are really interested here are some links to the songs. We put them out under my name because I already had some what of a fan base so they could actually reach some ppl ! Everyone in the band besides my self had little or no band experience, but out of all the bands I've been in (lots) this was my favorite ! |
