An experimental music ensemble is recording an album. They want a very specific sound: the sound of thick air. The sound engineer struggles to understand and to find that sound. A tale of sleepless nights and loud music. Shot across five cities and countless nights, Thick Air is a noise-injected collage, composed of diaristic footage, a found narrative (memories of a popular 60s band), original music and field recordings.
