About the Composer(s)
Volker Bertelmann (professionally known under his solo project moniker Hauschka) is an Academy Award and BAFTA Award-winning German composer, pianist, and electronic producer celebrated for his pioneering use of prepared piano and his dark, immersive orchestral scores. Born in Kreuztal, Germany, Bertelmann studied medicine and law before dedicating himself fully to music, combining classical training with experimental electronic textures.
Bertelmann achieved global critical acclaim for his haunting, percussion-driven score for Edward Berger's 2022 film All Quiet on the Western Front, winning both the Academy Award and the BAFTA Award for Best Original Score. His extensive filmography includes his Oscar-nominated work for Garth Davis's Lion (co-composed with Dustin O'Halloran), Hotel Mumbai, Adrift, Ammonite, and James Watkins' psychological thrillers Speak No Evil and Clayface. For Watkins' 2026 DCU body-horror movie Clayface, Bertelmann composed a tragic, visceral, and disorienting score that blends classical prepared piano strings, booming symphonic dissonance, and industrial electronic textures to capture Matt Hagen's descent into monstrous madness.

Did you know?
- Volker Bertelmann's Prepared Piano: Academy Award-winning composer Volker Bertelmann (also known as Hauschka) utilized custom prepared piano techniques, placing metal screws, rubber wedges, and foil between the piano strings to create the disorienting, metallic, and organic clicking sounds that represent the physical transformations of Matt Hagen.
- Somber Cover of 'Do You Realize??': The film's official trailer features a haunting, slowed-down, and atmospheric cover of the Flaming Lips' classic alternative hit 'Do You Realize??', creating a chilling subversion of the song's existential lyrics to mirror Hagen's tragic loss of identity.
- Mike Flanagan's Horror Vision: The project is a collaboration between director James Watkins (Speak No Evil) and acclaimed horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House), who co-wrote the screenplay, ensuring a heavy emphasis on psychological terror over traditional superhero action.
- DCU Elseworlds Monster Label: Released under James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Elseworlds banner, the film is designed as a standalone tragedy film akin to Joker (2019), focusing purely on psychological body horror rather than connecting with the main DC Universe timeline.
- Vocal and Practical Body Effects: To ground the performance, actor Tom Rhys Harries underwent up to 6 hours of prosthetic applications daily, while the sound design team recorded organic textures like mud, squelching clay, and tearing fabric to build the horrific vocal and physical sounds of the creature.

About the Movie
Clayface is a tragic, psychological body-horror film that reimagines the classic DC Comics villain as a grounded monster movie. The story follows Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries), a washed-up, vain Hollywood actor desperately trying to reclaim his fading fame and physical perfection. After a horrific car accident leaves his face severely disfigured, Hagen turns to a mysterious, highly experimental chemical compound to restore his appearance. However, the substance rapidly alters his biology, turning his body into a malleable, melting mass of living clay. As he struggles to maintain both his physical form and his sanity, Hagen descends into a murderous madness, morphing into a monstrous shapeshifter fueled by Hollywood's obsession with perfection and a desperate desire to play his ultimate final role.
