Michael Abels, who recently composed the magnificent score to Us (2019) for Jordan Peele, is an artist who is as comfortable with words as he is music. His insights into his own creative process are valuable, fascinating, and wholly revealing. Any creative, especially one tasked with collaborating with another, would benefit greatly to hear what he has to say. In fact, I would have to say that my conversation with Michael was one of the better explorations of a composers’ creative process that I’ve ever had the pleasure of taking.
