Notes fall like raindrops, quickening pace as the clouds gather. The piano melody splish sploshes into the electronic soundscape; the trees become denser, the journey more profound. Belle Chen's new album ‘Ravel In The Forest’, leads the listener through ancient woodland, quiet clearings and tropical canopies. We're accompanied by birds, a chameleon, a dragonfly – the wonder of the natural world is imbued into this imaginary space.

‘Ravel In The Forest’ is the latest album of original music by pianist-composer Belle Chen: a playful celebration of the forests’ colourful ecosystems, and a safe space for the listeners to delve into their imagination.
