Music

Electronic composer Olga Bell crafts fragile, haunting, synth-driven pop songs layered over complex electronic drum beats. An accomplished pianist who straddles the worlds of indie rock and contemporary classical, she is a member of experimental pop group Dirty Projectors and has collaborated with composers Philip Glass and Osvaldo Golijov, soprano Dawn Upshaw, and the rap group Das Racist. Bell’s secret weapon is a distinctive voice that can go from ethereal to disarmingly commanding in the space of a breath.
