SYNOPSIS

Clatter & Hum follows Alice, a 40-something classical voice teacher living in New York City, and her estranged father, Erik, a reclusive, avant-garde sound artist from Austria. After years of silence, he asks her to drive him cross-country to record sounds for his new composition, which is tied to a prestigious commission in Los Angeles. For Alice, the trip is about connecting with the father she never knew. For Erik, it’s a last chance to complete his body of work before his hearing loss becomes permanent. Their journey spans a rich soundscape of America - from wild beaches to borderlands, bustling casinos to quiet deserts - where Erik’s field recordings unravel both the noise of modern life and his complex inner world. Along the way, tensions flare and old wounds resurface, but unexpected moments of beauty and silence lead to revelations. As Erik’s hearing fades, Alice discovers her voice.
