However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled? -- Freya Park "Hardware is temporary. The signal survives."

If you stare at static on a TV long enough you see faces. If you slow down audio by 1400% you hear voices. Get some sleep. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.

I tried this on my Sound Blaster 16 using a custom DSP resampler. The whispered syllables are 100% there. -- Tobias Eriksson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. ------------------------------------------------------------ From mpark@illinois.edu Tue Dec 06 19:41:18 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!illinois!mpark From: mpark@illinois.edu (Mathieu Park) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: The 14.2x slowdown voice on 'Memory Hatch' - myth vs reality Message-ID: <1994Dec06.194118.3223@illinois.edu> Date: Tue, 06 Dec 1994 19:41:18 GMT References: <1994Dec04.083618.7392@cern.ch> Organization: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign NNTP-Posting-Host: illinois.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 8 In article <1994Dec04.083618.7392@cern.ch>, fpark@cern.ch (Freya Park) writes: > I spent last night testing the 14.2x time-stretch claim on track 2 using a 16-bit Sound Blaster transfer. Unit 6! That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes. -- Mathieu Park Tape trading list upon request.
