At the 2026 Buchla & Friends show, Buchla & Associates’ Nick Kwas spoke with designer Thomas Adam Billings of Terraphones about his new instrument, the Nymira.
Nymira is a standalone harmony instrument designed around the circle of fifths. Its sonic engine draws from the overtone series, offering detailed timbral control across seven individual partials.
Three distinct models explore different synthesis methods; one rooted in additive FM synthesis, another in classic subtractive design, and one based on granular synthesis.
