Vespair ( @Vespair@lemm.ee ) 69•5 months agoI once worked a 12 hour shift at a MarketPro computer show booth where, I shit you not, the booth next to us was selling computer speakers and the guy running it let his child play Around The World on repeat all day.
No other songs
No break
No reprieve
Just almost 12 straight hours of Around The World.
I loved that song, but to this day I can’t tolerate hearing it without triggering something akin to PTSD

unexposedhazard ( @unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de ) 14•5 months agoWasnt even robotic, just a synth on top of human voice.
bstix ( @bstix@feddit.dk ) English15•5 months agoThey used a talkbox, so technically it’s the voice modulating the synth carrier.
TheOakTree ( @TheOakTree@beehaw.org ) 8•4 months agoWell technically, it’s not a voice modulating the synth but rather the shape of your mouth. It’s not your voice if you aren’t producing your own sound, I’d argue.
bstix ( @bstix@feddit.dk ) English3•4 months agoSure, it’s not a voice, just the shape of a voice, so to speak.
Anyway my point was that its not a synth on top of a voice, which would indicate an addition of sounds. It works more like a subtractive filter, which again actually works by multiplication. It’s physical though, so no math is actually done to carry it out and there’s no resolution on the effect, since it was done on analogue equipment.

Honytawk ( @Honytawk@lemmy.zip ) 2•4 months agoAs someone into lyrics and complex songs, that song bored me to tears. The repetitiveness is a right turn off for me. Even a monkey can be learned to copy and paste, but the real musical talent is in transitioning into new melodies.
It is the same as with the “Push me, and then just touch me” song.
I can’t listen to either of them without getting irritated to how little effort was put in them.
