“If we are able to get inside the music and inhabit it convincingly enough, it will cause everyone to find each other in this new psychological space. And that’s most exciting.” — Michael Tilson Thomas

Text to Music Prompt
Tempo: 126 BPM, Key: D Phrygian. Generate an album of tracks, each a fusion of instrumental Deep House, Warehouse Rave, and Underground Rave music. Industrial, Psytrance, Techno, and darker Rave. Vibe: Deep concrete bunker, strobes, silhouettes, anonymity, sweat, pulse.
6 Hz Theta Binaural Beat
To heighten the immersive, subterranean world of the album, every track incorporates a subtle 6 Hz theta binaural beat, tuned to the root harmonics of D Phrygian, the album’s tonal center. This frequency was chosen with intention: it forms a natural harmonic relationship with the album’s steady 126 BPM pulse. Since 126 BPM equals roughly 2.1 beats per second, 6 Hz sits at nearly three times that pulse, creating a quiet but powerful resonance beneath the music.
This 6 Hz layer guides listeners into a deep trance state, aligning perfectly with the album’s atmosphere of concrete bunkers, strobing light, and hypnotic anonymity. It enhances the emotional suspension and rhythmic movement central to underground rave culture without interfering with the higher-frequency percussion and synth elements that define Deep House, Warehouse, and Industrial Rave music.
The result is a sonic undercurrent that invites ego-dissolution, immersion, and a ritualistic sense of flow. It’s not just music to hear, it’s a frequency to inhabit. This is the subtle energy that transforms a rave from a gathering into an experience, and an experience into a rite.
Bunker Hymns is an immersive subterranean ritual, a 13-hour hypnotic continuum with a 6 Hz theta binaural bed that induces trance, inner-journey states, ego-dissolution, and sensory drift.
Concept
The D Phrygian choice gives the project:
darker, ancient, ritualistic tension
minor-but-exotic color
perfect synergy with industrial and deep-rave harmonics
no unnecessary brightness, just shadow, pulse, steel, breath, pressure
The 126 BPM tempo sits perfectly between Deep House’s hypnotic glide and Techno/Psytrance’s driving minimalism.
The album becomes a cathedral of concrete and light, a prayer service in a bunker.
Sound
Foundations
Kick: warehouse-thump, 50–70 Hz, slightly long tail
Bass: D-Phrygian root emphasis → D, Eb, G, A
Percussion: metallic, industrial, rebar-against-steel, machine hiss
Hi-hats: loose, shuffling Deep House texture fused with sharper rave patterns
Pads: dystopian drones, modulated with slow LFOs
6 Hz Binaural Layer
Use two sine waves separated by 6 Hz
Keep them subtle (-30 to -26 dB), modulate slowly to avoid fatigue
