ABSTRACT: THE SCORE
I was such a fan of Season One of Abstract, and the work that composer Mark Mothersbaugh did with the score. It was an honor to take the reins for Season Two. Brian Jones and I worked to create a unique palette for each featured designer, while still maintaining this aesthetic that is Abstract - one strongly influenced by the visual style of the show established by the creators Scott Dadich, Morgan Neville, and Dave O'Connor. The results were super satisfying, and we've heard positive words from many designers and fans around the globe about how this music has resonated with them. Without a doubt, Abstract is one of the more creatively fulfilling projects I've worked on.
