I opened this video but didn't know it was a portal to the fae woods 🌿🧚🌿

[@MerleBardenoir]

Thank you for your insight into this portal! The term "ladies from the outside" was used in Sicily in the 16th and 17th centuries to refer to fairies.

[@Bonus_Bananas]

@@MerleBardenoir that is really neat! I had no idea!

[@zydarking]

I opened the video on a whim, can't say I regret it 👍

[@MerleBardenoir]

Sometimes, serendipity leads to happy discoveries. Thank you for taking the time to mention it here!

[@Servius_]

This is not music. It's a gateway to another world. It's so beautiful... Especially the track "Errantry" has a certain... spirit of travel. Thank you for this masterpiece :)

[@MerleBardenoir]

Thank you very much! Errantry is probably one of the most medieval-influenced tracks on the album.

[@_te.Lue_]

I felt like I had wandered into the myths or fairy tales of another world that we never knew existed. All thanks to the great music and pictures.

[@MerleBardenoir]

Thank you for your kind feedback! It's very pleasing for an artist to know that their initial intention has been transformed into a real experience.

[@kyberite]

Aw man I need more of this! What a treat

[@MerleBardenoir]

Thank you very much! There is a previous album called Imaginal Stage.

[@Abominated1]

this cover art is beyond beautiful!

[@MerleBardenoir]

Thank you very much. To create it, I was inspired by Art Nouveau jewelry.

[@shokingu6963]

I was just surfing youtube, looking around, and when I glanced the sculpture from the thumbnail it immediately caught my attention!! I had to listen to it and it was worth it. Thank you for sharing all this!

[@MerleBardenoir]

Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad the music matches the visuals!

[@anirism6047]

Bellísimo y original. Bendiciones. Algo de lo Medieval se entrecruza con frecuencias expsnsivas

[@MerleBardenoir]

¡Muchas gracias! Quería unir dos épocas con influencias medievales y experimentos muy contemporáneos.

This video appeared as a synchronicity. I was imagining myself standing in front of a mirror. I was thinking of mirrors and reflections. And that’s when I saw this video with that artwork. Very beautiful music and story 🌸 The "mantic berries" and "land of youth" concepts are very close to me. Your album is truly brilliant and magical!

[@MerleBardenoir]

Thanks for the feedback! Synchronicity itself is close to a mirror effect, since it's the image of an inner idea coinciding with an external phenomenon.

[@ariannahorton]

When I read that you spent two months creating the digital sculpture for the cover, and saw the album atop the hammered dulcimer, I had to order it. This is true art. Thank you for creating this with so much effort and heart.

[@MerleBardenoir]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! Although I use many instruments on this album, the hammered dulcimer remains the main thread of this sonic journey.

As a philosopher once said, everything beautiful is as difficult as it is rare. The same goes for my listeners, so thank you for being here.

What is the sculpture in the opening picture?

[@MerleBardenoir]

This sculpture doesn't exist; it's a digital work that took me two months to create. Its original name was Strange Attractor.

Dear friend, you've already embarked with me on a journey of a similar nature, albeit developed through a different medium.

[@usuario.desk.q]

qué bonito, ojalá yo pudiera tener una conexión positiva y agradable con seres espirituales y elementales.

[@MerleBardenoir]

Creo que sin una cierta conexión con las hadas, mi música no sería lo que es. Con un poco de suerte, permitirá a mis oyentes establecer conexiones similares.

[@AnnaPoli800]

The name of the artist in the paintings? I really love the music❤

[@MerleBardenoir]

Thank you very much! They are not paintings but digital works that use paint textures. I made them with a sensitive use of various artificial intelligences and manual editing on the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

[@IanSanchez-cq2cl]

@@MerleBardenoir out of curiosity, is artificial intelligence used in the music as well?

[@MerleBardenoir]

@@IanSanchez-cq2cl No, the music is 100% human. The sounds come from real acoustic instruments (hammered dulcimer, tin and low whistle, bodhran, etc.) processed live by effects pedals and a looper.

Wow very good

[@MerleBardenoir]

[@RashFever26]

​@@MerleBardenoirAre the images in the video made by an artist or are they AI generated? What about the thumbnail? Regardless, they are very beautiful and fit the music

The artwork was created using parallel processing of two AIs and manual editing on the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

Folk Drone

[@MerleBardenoir]

In a way, yes. The electronic effects extend certain acoustic sounds like a tumultuous drone.
