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. -- Tyler Sánchez Tape trading list upon request.
