Text Quotes
My hearing is out of the ordinary as others might see it, but not for me. I’m used to my hearing in the same way that I’m used to the size of my hands. (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
My role on the planet is to bring the power of sound (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
The body’s like a huge ear. It’s as simple as that (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
I walk into a kids’ store, and it’s amazing, the types of instruments - little squeaky things, rattling things, spinning tops (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
Apart from Scottish traditional music, I wasn’t really influenced by any kind of music. I just basically followed my own instincts (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
I love out-of-the-way, rugged places. For me, holidays are about the experiences, and the people, and the memories, rather than sitting on a nice beach getting tanned. I try to plant myself where I am and embrace what is there in front of me (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
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 (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
My favorite instrument is the snare drum. In Scotland, the snare drum is very prominent in Highland bands. The Scottish style of playing is in my blood. It’s a very powerful instrument, but it can also be soothing, like velvet. It’s a real challenge for composers (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
My first real foreign holiday was my honeymoon 20 years ago, and we went to Bali. It was particularly special for that reason, I enjoyed it very much - I had packed music scores and a practice drum pad, suspecting that I would be completely bored, but actually they remained in my case (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
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 (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
I suppose I don’t hear things, but I listen, if you know what I mean. And there is a big difference between hearing and listening. So it’s like a conversation, you know. When you speak to someone, it’s one on one, and that’s exactly how I play. (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
Scotland has never ceased to amaze the world with its forward vision, bold action and great educational institutions. Nothing makes me more proud than to promote this wonderful land with all its richness and diversity wherever I go. (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
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. (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
Music really is our daily medicine (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
I’ve kept a diary since I was 11 (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
I like the sparkle of the vibraphone (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
There’s still a lot I need to do as a player, as a musician, as a sound creator. I have commissioned 170 pieces: that’s still not enough, there are still lots and lots of composers I would like to approach. When I see a composer and I see a performer, I think to combine those forces (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
The audience plays a huge part in how a piece will actually form. They really allow the performers to walk a tightrope in a way that never seems to happen in the privacy of your own four walls. I’m listening to the audience, and they’re listening to me (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
When I was 12, I happened to see a schoolmate playing percussion, and it looked interesting. I asked for lessons, and it felt right (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
If we see someone in a wheelchair, we assume they cannot walk. It may be that they can walk three, four, five steps. That, to them, means they can walk (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
My hearing is out of the ordinary as others might see it, but not for me. I’m used to my hearing in the same way that I’m used to the size of my hands (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
I want to be able to say on my deathbed that I reached a few people. That would be very nice, just to be able to say that (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
Your mallet or your stick goes through the instrument, the sound goes out and then wherever the sound goes nobody knows, you know (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
As we live longer and healthier for longer, we need to keep ourselves busy... The diary is pretty full (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
Anything you strike, anything you shake or rattle, or just anything that can be picked up, and you can create a sound (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
A large part of my work has been collaborating with composers; I think we’ve commissioned about 140 pieces now, a lot of them percussion concertos (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
Marimba is much more of a wood type experience and there is no real possibility of getting a dry sound, and getting that contrast in the same way that you can in a vibraphone (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
What I have to do as a musician is do everything that is not on the music (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
Before my teen years, I was losing my hearing pretty quickly, and I was getting very, very angry. I was beginning to become an angry person because of that (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
I associate going to an airport with work because I travel so much with my job. So when I have a few days free from work, I tend to stay at home (Evelyn Glennie Quotes)
