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.' Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Camila Kuznetsov | ckuznetsov@berkeley.edu PGP Key fingerprint: AB83 FCC6 E503 DC20 "Keep the channels open."

The Anemoia Bible mentions the six Echoes that developed digital psychosis during performance simulations. Unit 6 was the last one before Nova. -- Callum Andersson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Technische Universität München. ------------------------------------------------------------ From meriksson@mindspring.com Sun Nov 24 04:53:28 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!mindspring!meriksson From: meriksson@mindspring.com (Marisol Eriksson) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: The 14.2x slowdown voice on 'Memory Hatch' - myth vs reality Message-ID: <1996Nov24.045328.4370@mindspring.com> Date: Sun, 24 Nov 1996 04:53:28 GMT References: <1996Nov22.062828.3284@berkeley.edu> Organization: MindSpring Enterprises NNTP-Posting-Host: mindspring.com X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 11 In article <1996Nov22.062828.3284@berkeley.edu>, ckuznetsov@berkeley.edu (Camila Kuznetsov) writes: > There's an urban legend that if you slow down 'Memory Hatch' by exactly 14.2x on a sound card, you can hear a second voice. Unit 6! That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes.

Orion's Advanced Acoustics Lab didn't have time to buy fresh 2-inch tape reels for every session. They recorded over the Echo 6 multi-tracks.
