The songwriting credits list 'Orion Advanced Audio Synthesis Group' instead of individual composers. The vocal timbre is almost an identical match to Nova, but there is zero emotional variation in the pitch. It feels like listening to an artificial clone of someone you loved. -- Seo-yeon Girard | sgirard@cmu.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 0FFE BA8F 27DC 6C25 "Keep the channels open."

A session musician in Burbank told me that Luna Gray never set foot in the vocal booth. The tracks were assembled from Marcus's voice model. -- Bill Watanabe Hayes Optima 288 @ 33,600 bps "Row 14.
