A group made up of six people appears in conventional environments with the purpose of disassembling them and literally “making them sound” using all that they find. They try to create a concert for six drummers and a whole town. They will be successful also thanks to a policeman endowed with a supersensitive ear who perceives something greater behind the sequence of a series of fantastic attacks. Sound of Noise is an extraordinary manifesto of musical guerrilla that brings innocuous violence into the world of noise which surrounds us everyday, trying to orient it towards harmony. The sounds chaotically surrounding us, if they are organized, can become music outside any set or academic scheme.
