The image appears to have a capacitor (? it's green, which is unusual) just randomly poking out at the bottom-right. I'm assuming that's a doctored image. I also get a couple of strange images: * One says "TT" and has the Manx triskelion, suggesting a relationship to the Isle of Mann motorcycle race, The TT. * One says "poslednee gac" in cyrillic script, presumably "Last Hour" in Russian. * One shows a tight shot of a large piece of heavy equipment, painted white and with a whiteboard with intriguing notes written on "Impete Forman / 3 Heat sheets from training / ..." or somesuch. [appears to refer to Kearny volunteer fire house in LA?] * Another shows a man, wearing the garb supposed to be on sale, astride a black motorbike. * Yet another shows an arrangement of 2048 in the stones stuck to the tyre of that motorbike. * Another again quotes the Bible and has a large "60", but has a phone number "+1628 444 97 91" which appears to be a Russian number. * And so on. The music appears to be a serious of multiples of beats with some ambient sound and a small amount of speech. I'm guessing at least part of it can be interpreted as hex and converted to ascii or something similar. Later there is some chanting and partial word elements with scrambled speech too. My best guess is viral marketing for a movie/tv-show at this point. I thought of Mr Robot, but it seems 12 Monkeys like from what little I remember seeing. Whatever it is it's well made with a good degree of intrigue IMO.

  > * Another again quotes the Bible and has a large "60", but has a phone number "+1628 444 97 91" which appears to be a Russian number. It's +1 628 444 9791, it's a US phone number. It just says "We're sorry, the person you called has a voice mailbox that has not been set up yet." The Russian country code is 7.

    I just Google it and it came up in a Wiki of phone numbers with Russian details, but thanks.

  Yes, Последний Час (posledniy chas) means the last (final) hour. Although it looks like it's just a subtitle from a film screenshot.
