Sound of Noise Page #3

Synopsis: The narrative revolves around police officer Amadeus Warnebring, tone-deaf scion of a distinguished musical family, and his attempts to track down a group of six guerilla percussionists whose anarchic public performances are terrorizing the city. The drumming set pieces correspond to an avant-garde score with four hilariously titled movements. Where the short involved the six drummers imaginatively using standard apartment furnishings as their instruments, the feature unleashes them on an unspecified city's civic and cultural institutions. Including an amusing backstory for each of the soberly dressed drummers as well as their nemesis, music-hating investigator Warnebring, the film creates a treat for the eyes and ears from the dull, repetitive sounds of everyday life.

funk bass.

Please.

In there, please.

You are joking?

No, unfortunately.

Thanks.

I'll try to come tonight.

Bye.

The first attack:

"Doctor, doctor."

At the hospital.

The next one is:
"Money 4 U, honey."

What did they do to Levander?

They played music on him.

Music, Hagman.

Levander became a rhythm instrument.

"Honey."

Sanchez, check up on "honey".

Is it a name? A code?

Check it out.

Check up on "honey".

I'm on it. Bees...

Hagman, check "money".

Threats on the Stock Market,

banks, anywhere to do with money.

Can you run this for fingerprints?

But be discreet

and only give the results to me,

in person.

How does this sound to you?

It sounds like you're knocking.

Really?

Yes.

They played on this.

And now I can't hear it.

Is this some kind of hearing test?

Why the hell did you do that?

I turn up

with one of my best policemen

and it turns out that

this brilliant policeman

proves to be a baboon.

A baboon banging

metal trays

on the hospital's bloody walls!

Levander's attackers are musicians.

And they will strike again.

Oh, really?

This is a concert program.

There are four different movements.

"Money 4 U, honey"

"F*** the music!"

"Electric Love"

"F*** the music..."

Carry on.

I'm on it.

Ok.

Try not to kill anyone this time.

Let's do it.

This is a gig!

Everybody keep calm!

Move!

We don't want to hurt anyone!

We're only here for the music!

You are our audience!

Sit down!

Listen. And nobody will get hurt!

Three minutes!

One, two, three, four!

There are 24 beekeepers

in the region.

One of them is even a musician.

He plays the oboe.

Warnebring.

The bank alarm's gone off.

A hold-up.

Damn seatbelt!

Why do I always get

to sit on this side?

Were they wearing masks?

Yes, black balaclavas.

Sanchez, can I have silence?

Silence!

Shush!

Yes, it's them.

There's a metronome here somewhere.

Find it.

I got a match

from one of the prints.

Her name is Sanna Persson.

She's done time for vandalism.

She flooded the music academy.

She went to the academy?

Yes and no. She was expelled.

She's pretty cute.

You have an address?

Just a PO Box.

That's all.

Where did you get this sheet music?

Yes?

Excuse me, my name is Warnebring.

I'm from the police.

To what do I owe such an honour,

Inspector?

Someone's been playing

in the wrong key?

Any violinists caught fiddling?

Musicians' jokes.

It concerns one of your students:

Sanna Persson.

Persson.

My office should've been renovated

a year ago.

She tortured us with her ideas.

She created music

with paperweights, horse droppings

and God knows what else.

Then she became obsessed with water.

Water, water, water.

My God!
