That's really amazing to hear. Is the whole set like that? Damn! I sure
would like to hear it all.
Listening to the raw VCO sounds that he started with to make the vocals,
I'm less inclined to think he used a pitch tracking device on some real
voices to control the frequency. It sounds molre like he did, in fact,
simply twiddle the pitch control in some manner to simulate voice pitch
variations (pitch wiggles)...and it sounds like it wasn't all that hard to
do...that's the beauty of it. It just that he has such a keen ear, he did
it just right. Then the apllication of filter and resonance makes those
pitch events come alive and sound like voices. What a great insight into
how he works.

Thanks for posting this, Ben, truly fascinating.
