Physics and Psychology of Talking Bass, with Jack Conte

Musician Jack Conte explains how the sounds of vowels, "formants," are created, and how their position on the audible spectrum affects mood and the enjoyment of electronic music.

Jack..great video..I am somewhat curious..do you have a background in mathematics, physics or some other physical science, perhaps?

[Jackconte]

we're naturally fearful of it. just like roller coasters. and some people just don't like roller coasters....

"Which makes it easier to eat your Face. (Emphatized period)" That's priceless xD. I loved the explanation and the way you explained it. Just epic, Jack.

I was thinking about making a speech synth, Now that I know this I won't have to have as many samples. Yay space saving!

[JasperLeejasperlee]

[JacobChrist]

Kudos Jack on sticking your phone phone for science!

"I am alive." Sounded so damn creepy. That's how Skynet will sound, you'll see.
