Master Students at the North Carolina School of the Performing Arts Music in Film Program will compose music & sound effects for The Zo!
Hello! I'm Ian Melchinger, and I'm lucky enough to be working with Glenda on this unique and amazing film as its sound designer.
Each character has a name, a look, signature sounds and musical ideas that all go together to make that character unique. Watch the characters and fall in love with them a little. They're strange-looking, sure, but they suggest instruments, motifs, rhythms, and moods.
The Zo & NCSA Music Project
is possible through the generous support of:
Above Left: International singer & performing artist,

Carlotta Samuels
Above Right: International percussionist, Oseiku "Dan El"
...hmmm... speaking of strange-looking...
