A Portrait of

Silence is not the absence of something

...but the presence of everything.

Gordon Hempton

 
“Pure sound unaltered by human hands is becoming increasingly difficult to find. 
Gordon Hempton is an Emmy Award-winning sound recordist who has spent the last 30 years trying to find and record the vanishing sounds of nature in an attempt to capture a disappearing sensory experience. 
Filmmaker Nicholas Sherman observes Hempton in the wilderness for 30 days and uncovers an obsessive artist on a quest for perfection in this obscure medium.  Hempton’s natural ability to locate and articulate himself through sound has a contagious energy and gives his work a transportive quality.  Soundtracker is a fascinating meditation on the world’s changing landscape and the things we may be leaving behind in the service of progress.”

“More than a compelling portrait of sound artist Gordon Hempton, Nick Sherman’s film does what all the best films do - it re-orients and re-tunes our awareness so that we experience the world in a new way, as if we’ve spent the day alone in the natural environment of our dreams.”

-Frederick Marx, Hoop Dreams
