anaROBIK is the name given to an electropop computer-generated female vocalist created by British programmer Robert Hedin and accompanied by American multi-instrumentalist Bobby Trempealeau of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
"ana", as the character is called, was created using Yamaha's Vocaloid software, and specifically the "Lola" voice.[1]
History
Hedin was formerly a member of the group Sister Friction, describing it on anaROBIK's website as yearning to be the "queerest pop band in the world".[2] He conceived the new "vocalist" project in 2007, releasing the first album in 2010, followed by a remix album in 2011. The artist's website sets expectations for anaROBIK to "create musical compositions consisting of catchy melodies and body-friendly rhythms".[2] Another stated goal is that "womanual [sic] performances by ana" as well as the computer performances "shall be used to create a rich and warm melding of woman and machine".
Technical details
anaROBIK's musical sounds are entirely synthesized, consisting of samples from the Moog Voyager, Roland Juno-60, Yamaha FS1R and SY85 and E-mu Audity 2000 and Emax, among others. Drums are mostly samples from Native Instruments' Battery library.[1]
anaROBIK's recordings are mastered with a minimum of audio compression to avoid sounding "like crap".[2]
