So how do you go about creating a synthesising a singing voice in Linux?
I'd love to have a go but have a sneaky suspicion it's in no way
trivial.
I quite enjoyed listening to it, though it's not what I usually listen

I only know one Stephane on LAU - the Jack2 one - are you

It would be great if we could do that *live* ...

I have no idea if that's the JACK2 dude, but his choral peices done in Linux are
pretty impressive.
