Bell Orchestre is a Montreal-based instrumental ensemble renowned for their avant-garde fusion of classical, electronic, and post-rock elements. Formed in 1999, the group comprises Richard Reed Parry (bass, vocals), Sarah Neufeld (violin, vocals), Pietro Amato (French horn, keyboards, electronics), Kaveh Nabatian (trumpet, gongoma, keyboards, vocals), Michael Feuerstack (pedal steel guitar, keyboards, vocals), and Stefan Schneider (drums). Their debut album, *Recording a Tape the Colour of the Light* (2005), and the Juno Award-winning *As Seen Through Windows* (2009) established their reputation for creating immersive, genre-defying soundscapes. After a decade-long hiatus, they returned with *House Music* (2021), an album born from a single improvisational session, showcasing their commitment to spontaneous and collaborative creation.
