Vocals: Snowflake "Fall in Love" (http://pells.ccmixter.org/people/snowflake). All notes in vocal tuned to C3 and dropped into a Simpler in slice mode. When driven by a Drum MIDI pattern, this created an entirely new melody, which was further tuned in Melodyne.

I must have missed out on your last track- I will remedy that shortly. Some really wild sounds! I really enjoyed this one.

So many tracks, so little time. Thanks!
the vocal stuff is certainly good audio icing (band name, by the way, i called it), but the whole piece has nice "bones," as well! i like the sinus wave chords and the isolated bleeps and swells. curious how you usually decide on the harmonic background for your more abstract stuff.

Tell the truth, I jiust mess around until it sounds "right" (or in some cases, completely out of context).
The vocal processing is thrillingly confusing, and there's a great structure underneath, particularly the way it ebbs and flows. Some of the more beat-oriented sections reminded me a bit of O.R.I. (whom you probably don't know; they were active in Pittsburgh in the 90s--wrote their own software). Great stuff!

Thanks. I'll see if I can find any of their stuff.
Turned out really cool, been meaning to try something like this for a while. Never seen ccmixter before but it looks like a good resource

Yes, ccmixer has a bunch of good vocals. Highly recommended.
I like how the guitar continues to shimmer and guide the track throughout all the soundscapes. Killer track!
Jim! This is cool. Glad to see you still using snowflake's vocals - isn't she wonderful?
Oh snap. I love the vocal bits. Reminds me of Cornelius a bit. The rest of the track is a killer backdrop to them as well. Especially love the slow strummed guitar-like chords.

Thank my wife for those.
There's an appealing almost pop-like quality to this one in spite of the vocal strangeness. I could almost imagine turning on the radio in a foreign country and hearing something like this.

And then being arrested...
Wow, this is wicked, Jim! You're always keeping it fresh...and REAL. 
Great track, the vocal work is outstanding as always, and the guitar works wonderfully.

Thanks! I wonder about the real part, though...
Sounds great - love the vocals. Made me think of Prefuse 73 a little.

A favorite of mine.

Yea, that's it! I remember some Cornelius video when he banged a midi controller full of vocal snippets back in the late 90's

Yes indeed. It has some Savath and Savallas flavour, with those female vocals
