On the next Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: What happens when our obsession with spectacle turns dangerous? Michael Abels’s Nope Suite, drawn from his score written for Jordan Peele’s genre-blending film, rides the line between sci-fi, horror, Western, and family drama — with a score that gallops, pursues, and holds space for both awe and fear.
Then: Waves crash, skies open — and the piano becomes a landscape. In Pacific Triptych, Peter Scott Lewis captures the drama and majesty of the Pacific Coast across three movements, with a sense of scale that feels orchestral, even in its quietest moments.
