Pab San
Music, manuscripts, tools, one trajectory.
From bass to the novels and music apps, this site follows the living thread of Pab San’s work.
A trajectory moving through the stage, studios, machines, and writing.
Bass · tools · novels
One worktable: sound, code, and manuscripts.
Bio
Trajectory
Stage, studio, tools, manuscripts, and sites now hold together here in one place.
Pab San has played bass for as long as he can remember. His ground is rehearsal rooms, sessions, arrangements, and projects moving from one world to another: wild rock, musical theatre, writing, tools, and online forms.
Alongside music, he studied mathematics and artificial intelligence, then worked as an R&D engineer for several major computer manufacturers, across AI development and large-scale computing infrastructure projects.
His websites, novels, and applications extend that same thread. They carry listening, a taste for living forms, sound work, writing, and that old curiosity for machines once they stop being mere gadgets and become material for creation.
Projects online
Projects online
The online work gathered here is limited to public tools and sites: two music apps and the ziklab.org hub.
Audio
Retune
Retune analyzes the real tuning of an audio file, shifts it to the target frequency, then exports the result cleanly.
- Automatic tuning analysis with fine control.
- A/B listening directly in the page.
- Many export formats for real music work.
Text, music, color
HarmoName
HarmoName turns text into musical, visual, and rhythmic material, like a small engine of correspondences.
- A name or sentence becomes music and palette.
- Fine controls for style, instruments, and rhythm.
- Audio outputs and synchronized animations.
Ecosystem
ziklab.org
ziklab.org gives a wider view of prototypes, friendly sites, and artistic projects.
- The apps placed back into a more living context.
- Labs, experiments, and prototypes still in motion.
- A wider view of the work than this hub alone.
Manuscripts
Completed manuscripts in editorial work
These three fictional ensembles are complete or stabilized in editorial work. Resonance now gathers its main arc into a single manuscript, still alive, temporarily available to professional readers while awaiting a publishing house.
Complete text
Resonance
A three-part reflective novel about listening, music, AI, private power, and what still resists through human bonds, traces, and transmitted gestures.
Complete text
The Clear Rooms
A near France learns to decide inside collective clarification rooms; the device’s gentleness gradually becomes a form of government.
Complete text
What Holds the World
A technician discovers that gravity can yield; body, state, responsibility, and fault shift with the possibility of lightening the world.
These texts are not presented as books published online. They are unpublished original manuscripts, still liable to evolve during editorial review, and currently seeking a publisher.
Writing studio
Writing studio
This area gathers what is still open: manuscripts in progress, applications to build, and prototypes to revisit.
Manuscripts in progress
Comment se tromper de combat, novel paths, and forms still taking shape.
HitZik
An audio library to build: listening, ratings, comments, and linked media.
Musimage
An audio-reactive WebGL visualizer driven by sound in real time.
This section is deliberately movable: it will host open work before it becomes a public project or a completed manuscript.
What ties it all together
What ties it all together
From one format to another, the same line keeps returning: listening, tools, forms, transmission, power.
Living music
The starting point remains bass, groove, listening, and the real presence between musicians.
Inhabited technique
Digital projects tied to music, from apps and sites to other forms online, extend the same attention to listening and the shaping of sound.
Writing and forms
Sites, apps, and manuscripts extend the same need: to give a transmissible form to what is being sought in sound.

If one project speaks to you, the simplest thing is to enter through the right door.
For the apps
Retune and HarmoName are the most direct tools if you want to try something right away.
For the ecosystem
ziklab.org gives a wider view of prototypes, friendly sites, and artistic projects.
For the novels
The entry point for the novels is romans.pabsan.org: it opens a fictional universe where music, traces, collective decision-making, and even gravity become ways of questioning human bonds, power, and responsibility.
