As marine eyes, Cynthia Bernard blends ambient, shoegaze, drone, field recordings & dream pop—writing from a narrative place born in the present moment yet interwoven with lessons from her past. Currently residing in the greater Los Angeles area, Bernard was raised in Northern California, growing up in a household where music was valued deeply. When Cynthia’s grandmother had a stroke taking away her ability to talk but not her ability to sing, she became mesmerized by music’s use as a form of therapy. For many years she kept her music to herself, close friends and family but upon meeting her now husband James Bernard in 2014, the two started writing music together and sharing their ambient project awakened souls. In 2021, her debut solo album ‘idyll’ was released via Stereoscenic Records. She now finds herself regularly lost and found building miniature worlds to explore the healing qualities of sound and cement important moments she has experienced while welcoming stillness in nature. Her third solo record ‘to belong’ came out in April of 2024 via Past Inside the Present.
