Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Resynator was designed to turn any instrument's pitch into a human voice — essentially singing guitars decades before vocoders went mainstream.
Alison originally planned a technical documentary about a cool synth. Her father's suicide forced her to become the subject, transforming the film into something far more raw.
