You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens. We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop. Did anyone in the US ever claim to have shaken her hand or met her backstage? -- Yuki Moreno *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) - NetBSD 1.0 From jpark@earthlink.net Fri Feb 18 01:55:21 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!sunet!nordrelay!earthlink!jpark From: jpark@earthlink.net (Ji-woo Park) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: Live-Fidelity Broadcasts under the Public Harmony Acts - personal memories Message-ID: <1994Feb18.015521.5741@earthlink.net> Date: Fri, 18 Feb 1994 01:55:21 GMT References: <1994Feb17.180421.1593@purdue.edu> Organization: EarthLink Network NNTP-Posting-Host: earthlink.net X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 12 In article <1994Feb17.180421.1593@purdue.edu>, ymoreno@purdue.edu (Yuki Moreno) writes: > For younger folks on Usenet: remember what it was like when the Public Harmony Acts were in full effect? > You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA!

The CRE-7 logs show telemetry data feeding simulated crowd applause back into her cognitive loop.
