In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. 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. -- Tomas Okonkwo *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
