wow what a weird experience that must be! watching the video made me tear up a bit too. and as for the ozrics being on such a list, how unexpectedly cool! not sure sploosh would have been my first choice honestly. though I dig the track I think I'd have picked something from the gentler end of the spectrum. floating seeds, half light in thillai, aramanu, aura borealis come to mind. still, tickles me pink that they're on there at all, and what a happy story. =') cool find pix!

How incredibly beautiful. Baby steps. One day at a time... I have always preached to the masses that music is the language of emotions. No matter how technical and genius and elaborate the compositions are, they have to make you actually feel something inside. Otherwise, they simply aren't doing their job. For this woman, who for the first time in her life is experiencing something most of us have simply taken for granted all of these years, every spoken utterance, every syllable, every word, is a piece of elaborate and emotion-generating music to her. Watching her and her reactions, it's hard not to be brought to tears myself, if for nothing but the joy I feel for her new discovery...sound. I now know why newborn babies cry. As I said...baby steps. One thing at a time, one day at a time. She needs to be eased into these new experiences slowly but surely. Break out the Ozric Tentacles music too soon on her and she'll probably explode from the inside out from the emotional overload! She starts weeping when she hears the spoken days of the week! Easy does it, now. Music itself is filled with all kinds of emotions, some positive, some negative, all of it interesting. Give her time to just enjoy running water, car engines, human voices, crickets at night, birds in the morning...oh yeah, and fireworks going off. DEFINITELY FIREWORKS!! After all that, then break out the Ozric's music. Preferably during the fireworks show. "Spiralmind" from "Waterfall Cities" seems highly appropriate. Awesome. All I can say. The rest of the her life will be a journey for sure. I am so happy for her. EDIT: By the way, I just want to say that one of the reasons this woman's reactions got to me was because I reacted the very same way when I heard Ozric Tentacles music for the very first time, with pretty much the very same emotions. For me, it was like listening to music and feeling things inside for the first time all over again. So much occurred to me that night, so many emotions I had been burying for years deep inside myself which finally had a chance to come bubbling to the surface in my daylight waking hours, the things I would feel only in my dreams at night but would quickly forget that I felt come the dawn. The first time I sat alone in my room, at night, and REALLY had a good listen to Ozric Tentacles was the first time everything fell together for me, the first time I realized what love really was, the first time I actually felt all the harmony of the universe around me. Call that a religious experience if you want to. I prefer to call it The Mother Of All Epiphanies. In other words, I've been where she is emotionally. Definitely not under the same circumstances, but similar ones for sure.

V interesting. It wasn't obvious whether the emotional reaction was to music or just to hearing/sound.
I wonder if 'unconventioanl' music like Ozrics has as an immediate appeal as, say, Abba..?

@kbm - fully agree what you said about first ozric experience being like this lady's reaction... it makes you feel so tiny and lost in such a large and busy place...

I wonder if 'unconventional' music like Ozrics has as an immediate appeal as, say, Abba..? Yes, it might be way too much for a totally untrained ear. I can imagine her asking about which instruments make which sound and then when she hears Sploosh, she'll be like, oh! and what's all that? I wish I could actually see her reaction to it.

(in Robert De Niro voice) You talkin' to me? If so, no I can't. It's only her reaction on hearing speech for the first time, not to music in the video.
