Exciting news from P4K:
The Arcade Fire's bassist/celesta player/keyboardist/guitarist/accordionist Richard Reed Parry (also the leader of side project chamber pop group Bell Orchestre) has written a piece called For Heart, Breath and Orchestra--how lovely is that?! Parry claims that "During the performance, many of the performers wear stethoscopes which enable them to play in sync with their own heartbeats." Whoa. I imagine it must be hell on the eardrums! Although I suppose since they're not singing, maybe it's not quite so bad as I'm imagining it to be.
Anyway, can't wait to YouTube that shit. It will be performed by Parry, Nico Muhly and the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony at the Toronto Royal Conservatory of Music.
Oh and PS. The Arcade Fire should be coming out with a new album early in 2010 if we trust them and they don't pull our leg for years and then have an existential crisis like, I dunno. Sufjan Stevens.
Still totally listening to "Even the Good Wood Gone".
