Rune Wilder (Rŵn Wilder) was born in Cardiff, Wales, carrying with her a heritage of myth, folk tales, and strange stories of the Otherworld. She eventually crossed the ocean and found a new home in Monterey, California. Through music, visual storytelling, and The Orb Log, Rune turns the distance between Wales and California into a bridge: one world of ancient memory meeting another world still inventing its own myth.
Rune is also written as a subtle, modern echo of Anne Brontë, the courageous Victorian author. She shares Anne’s birthday, height, certain physical attributes, and even a beloved dog companion inspired by Anne’s own—not as imitation, but as symbolic kinship between two young women marked by depth, conscience, imagination, and inward fire.
The Orb Log draws from George’s conversations with his son about dream science and sleep paralysis. Lindsay Rhoades’ voice brings Rune’s music to life, while much of the music and video content is created in Mabinogi, a quiet California studio.
