In Letters to My Future Self, American composer and violist Nick Revel takes us on a musical journey of a constantly morphing Soundscape of styles and genres. This is all performed on viola, but some tracks also have cello, a guitar, or a second viola. This is a fascinating and enjoyable musical experience. Nick Revel is a violist, composer, improviser, and educator. He is a violist in PUBLIQuartet, string quartet, Folie à Deux, and New York String Studio, which he co-created with his wife and fellow violist Nora. The NY String Studio teaching philosophy draws on methods of self-awareness practices, Suzuki Method, Alexander Technique, meditation, and Madeline Bruser’s “The Art of Practicing.” He also founded the chamber music program at the Talent Education Suzuki School in Norwalk, CT, where he has coached string quartets for five years. Letters to My Future Self is Nick’s debut solo album.
