Let's settle the 'voice under the voice' rumor once and for all.

In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials.
When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band.

Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled?

I tried this on my Sound Blaster 16 using a custom DSP resampler. The whispered syllables are 100% there.
