Will Oldham stars in the new movie Topology of Sirens, a “magical realist mystery” directed by Jonathan Davies and produced by Omnes Films. The story follows a woman named Cas who discovers a “hurdy-gurdy containing a hidden collection of microcassette tapes” and embarks on a journey to learn about their origin. Along the way, she meets Oldham, who plays a “landscaper who emanates from another time,” as well as characters portrayed by experimental musicians Alex Zhang Hungtai (Dirty Beaches) and Sarah Davachi.

“Much of the narrative will be primarily guided by sound and the act of listening,” Davies writes, “and thus the film will function as a sonic experience as much as it is a piece of visual storytelling.” Learn more at the film’s IndieGoGo.
