u/Bernie-Fern

For those of us that like longer tracks! I really enjoy the journey that this song goes on.

Calling all sleepy synth and/or gnome-core lovers!

Ever wished you could just be a gnome and live in the woods? Me too, so I started making synth and ambient music as a gnome.

My first EP 'Seasons In The Round' is out now. If you like slow, dreamy, and ethereal layers and lullaby-ish melodies that build over time, then I hope you'll consider checking it out.

'Seasons In The Round' is composed of five songs, each exploring the emotions and revelations that one might experience while growing up and reflecting on a childhood through an adult lens, and how that can be both illuminating and disillusioning at the same time. Each song can exist on its own, but all five songs put together help tell a story I could never express fully in written form.

The songs were all created using a hybrid of hardware synthesizers and virtual instruments, along with fun noises recorded from nature. The songs are full of melodies that repeat over themselves in 'rounds' of sorts, hence the nod in the EP's title. The rounds of melodies create cluster harmonies and tense moments of counterpoint, eventually resolving in cozy and warm washes of reverb and other effects. I consider it a compliment when people call it "napping music".

Why a gnome, exactly? Well first off, I’m short. And second, I just really like whimsy and nature. Also, according to Penguin Reference’s Dictionary of Symbols: “They came to symbolize the invisible being who by inspiration, intuition, imagination, or in dream makes visible things which are invisible.” ... this line really stuck with me and became my muse. I like to imagine that we all have a little gnome inside of us, excited and ready to create art and explore our beautiful world. I named my gnome Bernie Fern.

Available now on Bandcamp and most streaming platforms. Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you in the woods somewhere 🌲
