A genre-fluid multi-instrumentalist, Suzanne Stern produces layered, textural albums of evocative, melodic, and uneasy music.
Her idiosyncratic style is informed by her classical training and experience in symphonic, orchestral, jazz, and world music ensembles; her mastery of polyrhythmic and odd/mixed meter timing; and a love of effect pedals. Her solo work incorporates harmonic, ethereal vocal arrangements, ambient and post-punk guitar work; lyrical, driving basslines; and painstakingly crafted drum tracks.
Suzanne gained notoriety in New York City as leader (bass/guitar/vocals) of the art/prog metal band Ruby Bullet, whose two albums were produced with Grammy-winning engineer Jason Corsaro. She has shared the stage with noted guitarists Aurelien Budynek and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, performed and recorded with numerous NYC-area bands, and created songs for independent television programming.
Suzanne's 2025 solo releases Rumours Redux and Opposing Sides are part of an ongoing series, Soundtracks for Films That Will Never Be Made.
Opposing Sides is a mashup of sonic and emotional contrasts: fuzzed out post-punk/post-rock, ethereal, layered vocals, post-modern minimalism, odd/mixed meters. More
Rumours Redux is a modern re-imagining of songs from Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, with elements of math rock, shoegaze, dream pop, and psychedelia. More
