Good stuff, man. Thanks for your work and your thoughts. I absolutely 10000% think you're right about the uncanny valley thing. Often I think rather than stating things directly, they leave things up to human interpretation, speculation, etc, but I think the implications are very intentional. Even though the sample definitely sounds like it's from that metromedia spot, I always pull English words out of the cut-up confusion in this track.

Thanks a lot! It was my pleasure... Except for that kinda nasty revulsion I felt from continual exposure to the uncanny valley. Ha!BrunchTime wrote:Good stuff, man.

I just left a nonsense comment on your video...basically I love this!

So I managed to write a crappy program that can kinda eliminate sounds that are only in stereo left or right. Thing is the panned sounds generally have some mono component to them so I can't completely isolate the vocals with this method or anything, but I think it's interesting nonetheless. It actually works better with other songs, like some of the Beatles' stuff. Maybe I'll post my results later.
