"Some people have difficulty with that song ['And Then So Clear'] because the voice sound is so unusual. [...] What people appreciate is very faithful voice recordings. Nothing else is faithful now. Drums are processed - everything else has a huge range over which it can roam. But the voice is still expected to be a voice. It's rather like... if you made a romantic film, you could stretch colour values and all sorts of things in the film. But if the lead actor were actually a robot, people would find that very unsatisfactory. They want the lead voice to be a real person that they think they can empathize with. Whereas I don't. I'm just as happy if that figure is just as fictional as the rest of the landscape." - [in conversation] with Danny Hillis |
