Polyfonatura is an in-depth study of Eirik Havnes, a nerdy artist, and his creative process. We see him collecting sounds from nature with his self-made microphones, altering and assembling them into an epic musical composition, before finally performing it for a live audience.
Eirik has a scientific approach combined with childish enthusiasm and charismatic being. The film shows how he experiences nature in his most creative mode. The film will go through the main character’s ears and into his creative mind. The audience hears what he imagines. They hear the finished music while they see how the sounds were actually harvested. It’ll be a sensorial concert between fjords and mountains, across time and space, that can alter the way people experience and listen to nature.
Underlying the exciting work process, epic nature, and beautiful music is a lonely artist’s creative struggles. What is nice? What is cool? What is real? What does Eirik think of his own work? And what will others think?
