Bell Orchestre was born in an old dance studio in central Montreal. As dancers ran, froze and crashed into each other and footsteps echoed in their ears the music began to create itself, painting landscapes and underscoring bodies, communicating through powerful, wordless gestures... The band is: Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire) on upright bass/ keyboard/ percussion, Sarah Neufeld (Arcade Fire) on violin, Stefan Schneider (IKS) on drums/percussion, Pietro Amato (Torngat) on French horn/electronics, and Kaveh Nabatian on Trumpet/Melodica, and Mike Feurstack (Wooden Stars/Snailhouse) playing Lap Steel Guitar and happy occasions. RIYL: Kronos Quartet, Aphex Twin, Penguin Café Orchestra, Autechre, Rachel's, Arvo Part, and/or Red Snapper.
