A book is silent until someone gives it a voice. Bardium reads the world of your story — its mood, its weather, its temper — and composes a score to match it.
Bring any book you own. Ozan scores it with music made for its world, and Ebru conjures art that captures its tone. It's still reading — it just stopped being quiet.
Every book gets its own palette — a set of tracks Ozan composes for the story's world and temper. It's tuned to the book as a whole, so the same music carries you from the first page to the last.
Ozan is the bard at the heart of Bardium. He reads the world of your book — its mood, its weather, its temper — and writes a score for it: a palette of music made to live behind the whole story, not a single scene.
Tell him what you love and what you can't stand — favorite instruments, ones to silence — and ask for a fresh take any time. The fire stays lit; the music is yours.
Turn Ebru on and Bardium illustrates your reading as you go. She doesn't copy scenes line for line — she conjures original art that captures the tone, the light, and the mood of where you are in the story.
Pick a style and she keeps it consistent throughout:
Open any ePub you own from your files. Your library, your shelf — Bardium never decides what you read.
Pick a sound, love or ban instruments, and decide whether Ebru paints alongside you. The palette is yours.
Bardium composes the score and opens the reader. From here on, the book performs itself.
When a reader finds a score that fits a book just right, they can share it. Browse palettes from friends and the wider community, try them in a tap, and recommend the ones that moved you.

No. Bardium plays the books you already own — bring any ePub from your files and it scores that. We don't sell or lock down a catalog.
No — each book gets one palette, composed for the story as a whole. The same music may carry across many different scenes, because it's tuned to the book's overall world and tone rather than to a single page.
No. Ebru creates original art that captures the tone, light, and mood of where you are in the story — never a literal reproduction of the text. Pick a style and she keeps it consistent. It's optional, too: leave her off for a text-only reader.
