That is creepy as fuck
I can't really understand it without subtitles but it's still quite cool.
This is some super villain message system. [editline]5th February 2014[/editline] [url]www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzcBusxDThM[/url] Fucking link wont work.
If a machine uprising occurs in the future, and their speech sounds like this, I'm pretty sure everyone will piss themselves and surrender immediately. All joking aside, this really is pretty neat. Considering that it's apparently synthesized voice made purely from individual noises at set frequencies, maybe this will help us to make better artificial voices generated momentarily. Rather than having to have a built-in library of preset and pre-generated phrases, perhaps with this tech computers in the future will be able to form words on the fly using a method similar to this, allowing for more natural and fluid speech. Or maybe it's just interesting artsy crap that'll have little to no effect on scientific progress. Who knows?
The sound is like some kind of otherworldly being attempting to communicate through the fabric of dimensions... radical.
Reminds me somewhat of this [video=youtube;k5TkhxOfYXc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5TkhxOfYXc[/video]
There's a kind of an edge on the voice that reminds me of Legion from Mass Effect
Reminds me of the accented and voice filtered voice actor for Planet from Alpha Centauri.
