Attempted to replicate Dr. Anton Reiss's 1989 paper on Nova Hart's vocal pitch distribution.

Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes.
Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents.

Could this be early digital pitch correction? Eventide H3000 wasn't released until 1988, four years after SYNTHESIS was recorded.

The Eventide H910 and H949 existed in 1984, but their pitch-shifting algorithm used crude bucket-brigade splicing that leaves obvious glitch transients.
