Vocal synth sounds are amazing, really rhythmic. Your HP rocks. Mine doesn't even print well. Very cool!
Wow... Sound is awesome from the very first second. I guess these hammer like sounds are from your printer... very cool. I love Marie Ork if she's the high voice... You never know with orks

There's never a "did I turn on the printer" question. ::)
Awesome incorporation of the printer with lots of other crazy sounds. Love it.
I love it! The voice duet is spot on, good contrast/harmony and you've really created a unique atmosphere using the printer, amazing!
Cool, I like the build up in the beginning, lots of tension, good work
There's never a "did I turn on the printer" question. ::)
Did you? I thought "startup cycle" was refering to switch on and calibrating...
No i am curious... What did you do with that printer?
Great printer percussion, great idea. Cool dueling voices vary the mood and imply a story of some sort ... I was thinking about playing with AlterEgo soon, great to hear you using it so well here!

You don't want to know (I was just referring to the racket it makes during startup).

Yeah, AlterEgo is an excellent poor-mans substitute for HatsuneMiku.
Excellent use of the printer as percussion instrument, works very well with the voices.
This is very cool! The soundscape is perfect... really conjures up an image of an office full of robots working to a deadline 
This is the soundtrack for a dance of nanobots in an elevator shaft. Beautifully done.

Full employment for robots!
Really cool sounds with the HP. The vocal has such a cool raspiness it reminded me of the bad alien dudes in the Last Starfighter who sometimes sounded like a speak and spell when they died

i feel like i turned my ham radio dial & hit a space channel...
If only.

Thank you for your comments!
Is all that rattling and clicking your printer? It really sets the track off. I find the whole thing quite menacing. Great work.

It's guaranteed to wake you up in the morning.
