A coy yet worthy profile of celebrated Scottish percussionist Evelyn Glennie.
Raven Snook, Time Out

Touch the Sound is remarkable not only because of Glennie's story -- a clinically deaf Grammy-winning musician who has played with the world's great orchestras -- but for the way Riedelsheimer uses sound.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

The movie makes an interesting addition to what could become Riedelsheimer's evolving and extraordinary gallery of movies that bring the creative process to life.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

It will be frustrating if you expect narrative and linear development. But if you take it on as a new point of view, valuable even if you don't completely comprehend it yet, Touch the Sound is worth the trip.
Michael Booth, Denver Post
