Review by Dawoud Kringle
On an unseasonably cold, and wet, spring night, at Littlefield, a venue in a dark street in Brooklyn, Bell Cycle celebrated the release of their new CD. Bell Cycle is an ensemble led by Isabel Castevelli. Rob Chaimberlain played guitar, drums, electronics; at the same time, mind you.
Isabel Castevelli is a graduate from Manhattan School of Music, where she earned a Master’s Degree in 
Contemporary Music Performance and studied with Fred Sherry. She earned her bachelor degree in music performance from DePaul University, where she studied with Katinka Kleijn and Steve Balderston. Previous teachers include Fred Zlotkin, Danny Morganstern and Myriam Santucci. She has toured and recorded in the US, Europe, Asia, South America and the Middle East with the Mivos Quartet, Diane Cluck, Katie Mullins, Marc Farre, Lewis Lazar, Sasha Siem, J.G. Thirwell’s Manorexia, Diane Cluck, CocoRosie, Ned Rothenberg, Tori Ensemble, Timucin Sahin, Beth Nielsen Chapman, CelloVox, Copal, and ThingNY. She lives in New York City.
