Travis, a silent man who has been missing for years, is rescued from the desert by his brother and reunited with his young son. Together, father and son set out to find Jane, Travis' missing wife and the child's mother. They find her working in a peep show in Houston, where Travis tries to come to terms with their painful past via an intercom.

Just as famous as the film itself is guitarist Ry Cooder's compelling soundtrack. It is therefore nothing short of sacrilege that we are muting one of the most beloved soundtracks of all time in order to replace it with a completely new—and radically different—one. Gone is Ry Cooder's slide guitar, welcome minimalist electronica by Thessa Torsing, a.k.a. upsammy. This Dutch composer is known for her minimalist micro-electronica full of crackling sounds and trippy melodies. The tension between nature and technology is a recurring theme in her work. With her electronic soundscapes, Upsammy gives Paris, Texas her own twist that will captivate you from start to finish.
