Notes fall like raindrops as Belle Chen’s Ravel In The Forest leads listeners through ancient woodland, quiet clearings and tropical canopies.

Released on the Platoon label, the album blends piano, electronics and improvisation, creating an immersive soundscape inspired by the wonder of the natural world.

Following a standing ovation at her 2024 EFG London Jazz Festival debut, Belle has been praised by Brian Eno as “original and provocative… [with] a sense of discovery.” The Australian Music Prize-nominated artist’s latest album reached #7 on the UK Official Chart (Specialist Classical) and #15 on Australia’s ARIA Classical Chart.

Live, Belle combines classical virtuosity, sonic synth explorations and free-flowing improvisation, drawing inspiration from Maurice Ravel, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Joe Hisaishi. Quirky, tender and deeply atmospheric, her performances move effortlessly between jazz, classical and experimental music.
