Biography

Montreal, Canada

Bell Orchestre are a five-piece instrumental band from Montreal, Canada. Its members include: Richard Parry (bass), Sarah Neufeld (violin), Pietro Amato (french horn), Kaveh Nabatian (trumpet), Stefan Schneider (drums & percussion). Sarah Neufeld and Richard Parry are also full-time members of Arcade Fire.

Their first full length album, Recording a Tape the Colour of Light, was recorded in 2003, though it was not released until late 2005, as they were touring with Arcade Fire at the time.

In November, 2008, Arts & Crafts announced that they would release the second full-length from Bell Orchestre, entitled As Seen Through Windows. On February 19th, 2009, the album leaked in its entirety to blogs and file sharing services.

    Seeing them live sometime really helps to understand their musical aesthetic. Almost all sound is done without electronics, even on stage they fiddle around with weird "instruments" to recreate the sound effects from the record.

    Why do the drums sound so poorly? The rest of the instruments were recorded wonderfully then the drums ruin it all. It's not the drumming (which is fine) but how it sounds. Can anyone explain why they like/tolerate them? Perhaps my mind will be changed...
