Another experimental upload that features the Full Bucket Vocoder, which simulates the Korg VC-10 vocoder. The VC-10 was introduced in 1978 and shares the same cabinet design as the Korg MS-20 monophonic synthesizer, also introduced in 1978. The time announcement at the beginning is a sample of my Seiko QEK105K talking world clock from 1988.
Lyrics:
Verse 1 (2x)
Now the mask you're wearing
Is stony and staring
Lines and tears
Age and fears
Growing old
Passions cold
Verse 2 (2x)
There's nothing in your eyes
That marks where you cried
All is blank
All is blind
Dead inside
The inner mind
Verse 3
Is it me
Is it you
Behind this mask, I ask?
Is it me
Is it you
Who wears another face?
