Akasrav !!
Thanks for subscribing to TACHY BUNKER, I hope you will enjoy the journey.
Today i'm happy to announce that i'm slowly uploading one by one (on YT and Bandcamp) the different songs from my Spiders from Space symphony, until the entire album is up. In the meantime, you can also analyze and try to decipher the tracklist and its various easter eggs + references to older & future works.
Soon i will upload a lore wiki to my website, so you can all catch up on what the Tachy Bunker universe means.
First two uploads: Serres Cosmiques & Métastase du Temps which are already up as singles on my streaming profiles.
Physical CD's will be available to order on Bandcamp soon. Cya soon! With more news to come...
SPIDERS FROM SPACE - microtonal symphony
Mv26: Tgelorian Party Mv25: Halitus Mv24: Éclipse Artificielle Mv23: Ylem Absolu Mv22: Rays of Dark Light Mv21: Exode des Mondes
Mv20: Chants d'Arcilène Mv19: Oubli Sub-Atomique Mv18: Nadir Externati
this is what I have so far for my chord editor. I haven't really been working on it much as of recent because of other projects, but I figured I would share what currently exists
main issue I'm having is with automatically adjusting chords so that they don't overlap. it works sort of well, but still has a lot of jank (and whatever I did for the transcription video iirc actually works better than the current one)
also I've included 6D and 7D (what would 7D's icon be?) and 5D–7D's tonic-bounded variants

So i'm making something currently for my Spiders from Space symphony. Have a youtube extract there!!
I’m LΛMPLIGHT, the creator of harmononyms. Thanks to Tachy for kindly setting up this space, and I hope everyone will jump in to discuss reading/localizing them for different languages.
In the video, I’ve put together some ideas — not precise transcriptions, but aiming for consistency and to avoid confusion in each language, such as:
Chinese: I’ve chosen to transcribe standalone forms as ‘-ei/-ou’ and suffix forms as ‘-i/-u’. If we transcribe “Scy” as ‘xī’ to keep it close to its original sound, it results in “Chy” being ‘hī’, which isn’t a natural sound in Chinese, so this is the compromise I made.
Korean: I avoided using some batchim that could cause confusion. For example, if “-p” became ‘ㅂ’, harmononyms like “ChypMy…” (힙미…) and “ChymiMy…” (힘미…) could sound identical due to nasalization. Also, “Mry” would normally be ‘므리’, but I chose ‘믈리’ to prevent confusing “ChymiLy…” (히므/리…) with “ChyMry…” (히/므리…). It’s nonstandard to transcribe “r” as double ‘ㄹ’, but it avoids ambiguity.
These are just ideas, so any other suggestions or feedback for any language are very welcome.
It’s difficult to maintain consistency in the target language if we try to transcribe everything exactly, and if we focus on consistency, transcription tends to be imperfect. I’d love for you, as native speakers, to discuss and find what feels natural in your language!
This might be a dumb idea, but i thought, a lot of people have talked about how "loud" silence can be.
It usually refers to social contexts where information is communicated inverbally, at such an importance that other types of communication stop.
It may also be when senses are acute and observing, but there is nothing to observe.
So here is my question: How can we put loud silence into music? And how can we engineer the loudest silence ever?
Characteristic 1: simple visualization & unexpectedness
→ Music with repetitive patterns and at some point, silence. There should be clear progressive indicators to make an audience believe or imagine elements in their head while the silence is happening.
Characteristic 2: duration
→ Obviously the longer we can keep this phenomenon, the "louder" silence becomes.
Characteristic 3: illusory silence
→ Using almost completely cancelling sounds, if they're used binaurally and on a lower volume it might seem like a literal "weighted" silence.
Example ideas on the former characteristics:
C1.1 - Sudden noise followed by silence: emotional screams, industrial textures, musical cluster. The silence becomes an aftershock and might force the listener to reflect or stay in fear freeze. However this might make the loudness of silence shorter too.
C1.2 - Long unfinished progressions. The trick would be a cyclic progression sequence that modulates always, like ii-V-I (simple example but might be longer or more complex progression) and at some point you remove part of the progression. The listener might be able to "bridge" the cycles in the silences.
Another pattern i'm seeing is that here i'm trying to engineer with a "SOUND, SILENCE" order and not "SILENCE, SOUND" order. Maybe using the latter order you can find other alternatives to this, like resolving a ghost progression.
I first encountered this idea by Maryanne Amacher that otoacoustic sounds may be use as musical objects. She separated A-tones (acoustic tones) from B-tones (first order DT) and C-tones (second order DT).
Now with that idea in mind i am currently making a fully otoacoustic album, mainly exploring DT (and not combination tones yet). Workflow #1 that i had was frequency shifting triangle waves by a lot (1kHz)^1 but this was like sounding like electric shocks to the ears and DT were unclear.
On the other hand i found a more complicated but more versatile workflow #2 to do difference tones melodies: still using triangle waves, i used scales with a set of harmonics higher than 10, and as any harmonic duo difference makes the fundamental tone frequency, this automatically created DT for the base reference pitch that i'd choose. So doing chords with those changed the color and height but kept a common DT. Meanwhile, automating using MTS-ESP Master^2 allowed to change the fundamental, and so the DT obtained.
1 A frequency shifter adds HZ to every partial, instead of multiplying like a pitch shifter would do. File is "otoacoustic distortion theory" 2 In the picture here of my DAW session, you see the notes table, automation of fundamental DT, and the notes ratios. Resulting "oto folk song"
