Nova's voice has ZERO splicing glitches. The Stardust documents describe this as 'Vocal Matrix Modeling' running on custom DSP hardware. Yet the fundamental pitch tracks with a mathematical rigidity that no living vocalist can maintain for 16 bars. Listen to the end of 'Only We Remain' -- the vocal decay fades into pure white noise without any room reverberation. -- Valeria Sato Tape trading list upon request.

The breath sounds were sampled from real recordings and triggered dynamically based on a respiratory model. Unsubscribe me from this list!
