Richard Reed Parry is an acclaimed Canadian musician and composer, widely recognized for his multifaceted contributions to contemporary music. Born on October 4, 1977, Parry has made his mark as a member of the Grammy Award-winning band Arcade Fire, where he plays a plethora of instruments and is integral to the band's rich, orchestral sound.

However, Parry's musical endeavors extend far beyond his work with Arcade Fire. As a solo artist, he has explored a range of genres from the avant-garde to classical and soundtracks for film. His recent works, such as "The Iron Claw" (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) and "Eileen" (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), showcase his talent for crafting atmospheric and emotive scores that complement the stories they accompany. Parry is also known for his experimental project "Quiet River of Dust," which has been released in volumes, with "Vol. 2: That Side of the River" unfolding as a continuation of his introspective and sonically adventurous journey. With each release, Richard Reed Parry solidifies his reputation as a versatile artist with a unique voice in both the indie rock landscape and the expansive field of music composition.
