Nico Muhly

Nico Muhly is a young composer from Providence, Rhode Island. He went to Columbia and Julliard and has worked with Philip Glass, Bjork, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and Antony. Speaks Volumes is his debut release and is a delight. Like indie-classical peers Jóhann Jóhannsson and Max Richter, Muhly is influenced by 20th century classical titans like Philip Glass, Steve Reich and John Adams, but has a sense of melodicism that makes his work more accessible than his forbears but without losing any of its intellectual heft.
“Clear Music” is the first track from Speaks Volumes and is for cello, celeste and harp.
