Retune
(by Pab San)
Do you have an audio file whose reference pitch you want to check or change? Would you like to know exactly what pitch standard it was played at? Want to move it up or down by a few hundredths of a semitone, set it to 440 Hz, try 432 Hz, or use another reference? RETUNE is built for that. It supports the main audio formats, analyzes your file, estimates its pitch accurately, retunes it, and converts it to the output format you choose. Status: live.

Three novels to discover
(by Pab San)
Resonance, The Clear Rooms, What Holds the World: three novels in which music, the traces we leave, a decision made together and even gravity become ways of probing what binds us — power, responsibility, what passes from one person to another.
