Us

Jordan Peele’s Us

Jordan Peele’s eagerly anticipated follow up to his film debut (Get Out) came out this weekend, and Us looks like it’s going to be a groundbreaking film. I was privileged to serve on the music team under composer Michael Abels, who conceived a phenomenal score with a completely unique and spellbinding flavor. Even if you’re not a horror fan, I recommend you go and see it for some amazing artistry.

I also think the sound of this film is destined to be a template and influence for many films to come. Already I’ve heard of several directors working on horror films, who are asking their composers to reference the sound of Us. That’s a telling sign.

Here is a link to the entire score.

The BTS story of an unforgettable day in the studio with Josh Groban, working on the @AaronLazar Impossible Dream:

A beautiful night celebrating my colleagues at the @The_SCL Emmy Reception - an organization I’m proud to serve.

I have been told to stop stealing muffins from the bakery. Unfortunately, it’s the only way to keep my lucrative muffin stand in business. Everyone is fine with this.

Finale's Finale. What happens next in music notation? After having been through Finale, Sibelius, and now Dorico, I have thoughts. And then there’s MuseScore. (Reposting with fixed video.)

Track two on @AaronLazar's Impossible Dream album is When You Believe and is an emotional powerhouse of a collaboration with Norm Lewis and Broadway Inspirational Voices:
