Bell Orchestre
Recording a Tape the Colour of Light
Rough Trade Records
What begins as an earful of noise slowly morphs into beautiful music. What starts off as something playing in the background quickly takes its place as something you would be hard-pressed to ignore.
The Bell Orchestre, made up of members from band-of-the-moment Arcade Fire, takes the listener on a wordless journey.
The whole album is a testament to how creative you can be without words. The music tells the story, and the story is different on each listen. With every spin in the CD player
new sounds are noticed, or arrangements picked up on.
This isn’t your typical orchestra sound, but the instruments are still played with grace, and subtlety. Every sound is there for a reason, and no sound overshadows another. You hear everything and can appreciate each note as it is played.
Some pieces are more fanciful than others, while some are full of heavy sadness. But in the end, all songs flow together, creating layer after layer of magical whimsy.
Bell Orchestra play the Music Gallery (197 John St.) on November 11
