The chamber rock group Esmerine was formed in 2000, and was initially a duo consisting of percussionist Bruce Cawdron and cellist Beckie Foon. The two had recently met in Montreal while both were recording the debut album of Canadian post-rock band Set Fire To Flames.[1] Cawdron and Foon had independently contributed to other Montreal-based groups as well, notably Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band, Saltland, Fifths of Seven and Mile-End Ladies' String Auxiliary. However, instead of using the guitar-focused sound of their other projects, the duo initially focused on percussion and cello, drawing on minimalist classical music and chamber music. The band initially performed their original music in gigs around Montreal.
Current members also include percussionist Jamie Thompson and multi-instrumentalist Brian Sanderson.
The band has released six albums. Dalmak, was awarded Instrumental Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2014.
Their 2015 album Lost Voices is nominated for Instrumental Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2016.
