Nova's voice has ZERO splicing glitches. The Stardust documents describe this as 'Vocal Matrix Modeling' running on custom DSP hardware. Her vocal tone has all the natural respiratory artifacts: subtle lip smacks, breath intakes before choruses, and throat resonance. Did Marcus Hale invent real-time formant modeling DSP four years before anyone else in the industry? -- Camila Moreno Hayes Optima 288 @ 28,800 bps "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14. Ears do."

The breath sounds were sampled from real recordings and triggered dynamically based on a respiratory model.
