Some of the most innovative music in the world comes from areas where people have the fewest resources for making it: no formal musical training, no material goods, and certainly no access to the music industry. The fact is that people find ways to make music with whatever they have. Whether they use plastics, aluminum, wood, or metal, people all over the world are recycling found objects into musical instruments. They are creating a new generation of unique sounds that reinvent their culture’s indigenous rhythms.

Project Found Sounds takes you on an electrifying journey with creative visionary, filmmaker, and music producer David Zucker to places where artists transform everyday objects into incredible instruments. From Haiti to Cuba, the Dominican Republic to Panama, Brazil, and Los Angeles, these creators’ remix cultural traditions with everyday objects and limitless creativity. This exciting “Found Sound” movement is more than music—it’s a creative explosion, fueling education, opportunity, cultural empowerment, and a global wave of innovation and connection for individuals and communities worldwide. A series of short films exploring these inspiring stories is currently in production and coming soon.
