about

I don’t think I’ve ever really contemplated listening to an album where the vocals are–or appear to be–“courtesy” of text-to-speech. TTS has been around forever–my first memory is messing with the text-reader on a Mac computer when I was 7 or 8 years old. It blew my mind. Since then TTS technology has improved quite a bit–I mean, my GPS is usually about 95% correct in it’s pronouncing of road names. But I would have never considered applying TTS to music.

Yet here we are. Duo Inmortales mixes TTS with some interesting noise to create a really interesting effect. They manipulate the pitch of the TTS so that it comes eerily close to feeling intelligent. Not human, or even alive, but it fluctuates with mimicry that HAL could be proud of. This would all be a moot point, except the noise constructed behind it really fits well. You could almost imagine this as a soundtrack to a silent horror film.
