Artist creates musical instrument for deaf and blind children

Bulgarian artist Polina Gerasimova has given the gift of music to deaf and blind children with her new creation – a keyless musical instrument with vertical LED lights and a braille touchpad, meaning players can use the senses they have to create a melody. <br> <br>Gerasimova has no musical background, and says that her lack of musical knowledge helped her to create this new medium. ‘I think not being a musician helped a lot. Because I started from the very beginning and taught myself how to make a rhythm,’ she explains. <br> <br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br>Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative. <br>Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RTnews <br>Follow us on Telegram: t.me/rtnews <br>Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RT_com
