Welcome to Lab 27, the Home of the Artificial and Alive.

[ We in the research covenant hope that you enjoy your tour of the facility-- oh, what's that? An evacuation order? No, no, that can't be right, not at all... I'm hearing that Dr. Ku's newest reanimation experiment went wayward and destroyed his entire sector, but it's just so hard to believe. He seemed to take such good care of all of his lifeforms. Oh, well, don't just stand there, you should probably get out while you still have the time! ]

So, What in the World is Vocaloid?

Vocaloid, to put it simply, is a synthesizer program but for vocals developed and distributed by Yamaha! Voice actors and singers record samples that are then processed and able to be typed into notes as phonemes. The appeal to Vocaloid, for me at least, is the robotic, fun sounding voices available to use, the convenience, and the fun characters associated with each voice via box-art. (Yes, the voices are sold as CDs in boxes like records or other programs, because it's, well, also a program!)

What's in a Voca-Prod?

I'm Rebecca, and I really, really like Vocaloid. I've liked it since I was twelve or so, and it's been a huge part of my life since then. I've been making music for about as long as I've been into it, and I have a YouTube channel with over one-thousand subscribers where I post my works. I write, create, and publish all of my own stuff and occasionally produce for my two-man-band! I'm not a very outgoing person, but my music is my outlet, and I love to share fictional stories through song!

That's the name of my song. The Vocaloid voices I used as singers here are Hatsune Miku and Utatane Piko. Miku is a fan-favorite, while Piko is a MY-FAVORITE. I've always been a huge fan of sci-fi, romance, and psychological horror, and while this song doesn't really encompass all of those, I hope you enjoy the atmosphere and story of it. Have fun! A huge part of Vocaloid culture is songs that have meanings that can be interpreted in several ways, and though mine isn't quite ambiguous enough, feel free to be a song theorist!
