Nomadic Firs

Nomadic Firs is the solo project of New York-based musician Ryan Lewis, a one-man ambient experiment known for crafting lush soundscapes that blend dreamy electronic textures with organic, lo-fi warmth. Since emerging in the early 2010s, Lewis has built a catalog of introspective, genre-fluid tracks—like the hypnotic swirl of "Kim," the haunting intimacy of "Hello (Cove and Valley)," or the glitchy serenity of "Ceremonial Ends"—that feel like whispered secrets caught between headphones. His work often stitches together field recordings, layered loops, and wistful melodies, creating music that’s equally suited for late-night reflection or sun-drenched daydreams. A collaborator at heart, he’s teamed up with artists like Le Ren and Cove and Valley, and his live performances transform his studio tapestries into immersive, real-time compositions. Casual yet meticulously crafted, Nomadic Firs feels like stumbling upon a hidden journal—one where every page hums with quiet magic.
