Soundtracker

Gordon Hempton is an Emmy Award-winning sound recordist who has spent the last thirty years of his life trying to find and record the vanishing sounds of nature.  Every year, he takes several “soundtracker trips” across the globe in search of new listening opportunities.  This film follows Gordon on one of these trips.  This month-long journey will take him deep into the wilderness and then into uncharted territory where a surprising new sound captures his imagination.  Shot throughout the Pacific Northwest and sound-mixed to incorporate Gordon’s own pristine binaural recordings, Soundtracker explores the sounds and the soul of an uncompromising artist.
