My New Single:

Almost Human

I used Holly Herndon’s artificially intelligent voice model app Holly+ on this track, which replicates the sound of her voice in a similar way to how DeepFake technology works. I processed the violins and some other parts of the track through the voice app and layered the output back in with the original instruments. The result is definitely artificial and something a human singer would have great difficulty performing but retains human qualities, as it is Holly’s real voice being used. This acoustic/electronic organic/artificial dichotomy is something I have been exploring regularly in my work. The violins are by Francis Moore-Colyer and harp by Emer Lynam.
