Synopsis

Award-winning director and cinematographer, Thomas Riedelsheimer,  takes us on an  journey  through a universe of sound with percussionist Evelyn Glennie.  They map a world of the senses – images and sounds.  Hearing images, seeing sound. With Evelyn, we experience sound as palpable and  rhythm as the basis of everything that is.

Rhythm is the basis of every life form. Rhythm is movement, flow, change, renewal - and repetition. It is only in rhythm that we can experience time. Without vibration, without oscillation, there is standstill, there is nothing. Our ideas of stability, of firmness, are illusions. Everything oscillates and vibrates - from the bridge of steel and concrete to the energy shells around an atom. We recognise and experience our world through oscillations, through rhythms - even colours oscillate at different frequencies. Everything vibrates, everything "speaks" - a universe of sound.

Percussionist Evelyn Glennie, lives in this universe in a way that almost no-one else does. Together with her, this film  dives into the world of sound and rhythms - into the world of our origins.
