    @AndrewBakke Před 2 lety +89

    I love that you can hear the difference between the two systems. Jake used the vocoder's ability to have sharp note starts/ends to good effect, while Swatkins does the same with singing slightly before/after the keyboard note. The subtle differences at the extremes of the note range as well.

    Probably not everyone's taste but definitely mine. Love it! Very much reminds me of Herbie Hancock around 1980, e. g. Feets Don't Fail me Now.
    I also love those little details, e. g. Jake's cheat sheet, Swatkins' mobile phone and of course the tambourine on the Rob's hi-hat.

    As a keyboardist this would be my ultimate Scary Pocket. Thank you, Steve and thank you Jake for your talent. Thank you, Jack Conte, for your vision (and talent) and bringing all of these phenomenal musicians together. I've been following since the days of "Hey, It's Pamplamoose".

    If you haven't done so already, I highly recommend the book "How to Wreck a Nice Beach" by Dave Tompkins, which traces the history of vocoding and all other techniques used to mimic voice in both music and speech processing. A terrific read. It's a lot deeper than you think. (The title is a play on the phrase "how to recognize speech")
