The statistical numbers are deeply strange. Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. Could this be early digital pitch correction?

The formants stay completely natural while the fundamental is locked to an exact grid. -- === Anton Weber === Dept of Electrical Engineering, MindSpring Enterprises "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."
