INFORMATION FOR
In The Garden of Sounds
Nicola Bellucci. 2010, 85 minutes. Italy, Switzerland.
Tucked into a small Swiss hamlet, Wolfgang Fasser’s studio is filled with cymbals, drums, and other noisemakers, including a therapeutic table built on a bed of musical strings. A former physical therapist who became blind at age 22 from the genetic disease retinitis pigmentosa, he now works with developmentally disabled children, using music and natural sounds to reach through each child’s particular physical and mental barrier.
