When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band. However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled? -- Anja Santos Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.

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. -- Göran Souza *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes. -- Callum Martínez Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of UC Berkeley Department of EECS. ------------------------------------------------------------
