Esperanza Spalding answers to 'formwela' now—and the chords call the shots.

Esperanza Spalding writes her most intricate compositions under the guidance of an alter ego she calls 'formwela'. The process involves intense harmonic layering and lyrical experimentation dictated by the music itself.

She consults a teacher, acknowledging the limits of innate skill against the challenge of executing demanding musical ideas. Meanwhile, Tony—presumably a collaborator—offers unflagging support, though not as a coach, more like a philosophical anchor with a good ear.
