Sound of Noise

Description
Do you remember when you were a kid and you liked to make percussive sounds on biscuit tins, cushions, the neighbour's fence, or your own stomach? Of course you do!!!! No matter whether you took up an instrument or not, percussion is always fun......until nasty neighbours tell you to shut up because you're making noise and disturbing their peaceful afternoon listening passively to Kenny G!!!!! Welcome to episode 105 of See Hear Podcast. Tim, Kerry and I look at a Swedish film from 2010 called Sound of Noise. A guerilla group of percussionists (is that a snare of drummers????) come out of the shadows like a flash mob to perform their composed percussion pieces using any number of found objects – suction hoses, oxygen tanks, money being shredded, bulldozers - and the local constabulary are not pleased. They are determined to rid the city of “musician scum”, particularly one officer who has grown up hating music!!!! We discuss the ubiquity of music in society and how we passively accept it when forced on us by some and reject it when brought on by others. We also talk about heist films, music futurism, and playing drum kit while in high pursuit by the police. There's plenty to take in from Sound of Noise, and we hope you enjoy our conversation. The film is on Youtube in the US at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maQhD3AmV1Y (you'll have to use a VPN if outside....but it is free of charge). I also believe it's on Prime in the US.

Movie music – any movie fan will acknowledge that a film score or a soundtrack can make or break how well a film works. The acting and cinematography and production values all count obviously, but imagine putting the 3 Stooges theme in place as “Mother” goes to see how Marion Crane is faring in...
