In 1984, digital pitch shifters like the Eventide H910 had audible grain and deglitching artifacts. Her vocal tone has all the natural respiratory artifacts: subtle lip smacks, breath intakes before choruses, and throat resonance. Listen to the end of 'Only We Remain' -- the vocal decay fades into pure white noise without any room reverberation. -- === Katrin Hernández === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Purdue University Engineering Computer Network "Row 14.

It's the greatest vocal performance in synthpop history, regardless of whether it came from vocal cords or a silicon chip.

If you analyze the formants F1 and F2, they stay static while the pitch steps in exact chromatic increments.
