IEntry · UNSEEN
UNSEEN is a feature-length psychological thriller from director Steve Merlo, scored end to end by Zazie Kanwar-Torge. The antagonist is never fully shown, which put the whole weight of presence on the score: something has to be in the room before the audience can name it.
The score is built on a small set of recurring themes that are re-harmonised rather than replaced. As the film escalates, the same melodic material is squeezed into narrower intervals and slower harmonic motion, so the picture tightens without the music ever announcing a new idea.
Long features need room to breathe, so the design alternates between heavily scored passages and near-silence with a single sustained element. That contrast is the tension architecture: the film is loudest where the music lets go.
