Touch the Sound is a soundtrack by Scottish percussionist Evelyn Glennie of the 2004 documentary film Touch the Sound by German filmmaker Thomas Riedelsheimer about Glennie, who is profoundly deaf. It was released on CD in 2004 by German record label, Normal.[1]

The soundtrack consists of musical improvisations by Glennie, solo and with other musicians, including English experimental musician Fred Frith. Glennie and Frith were filmed improvising in an abandoned sugar factory in Dormagen, Germany, and six of the tracks on the soundtrack were recorded in the factory.[2][3] In 2007 Frith and Glennie released an album, The Sugar Factory which used material from those sessions.[4]
