When I went to see <em>Inception <\/em>at the cinema a month or two ago, I recall thinking at one point: is that Edith Piaf singing? I was ambivalent, because while it sounded like her, it also sounded too good. After all, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%C3%89dith_Piaf\">she died in 1963<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Right now I&#8217;m writing my formal review of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hifi-writer.com\/he\/bdreviews\/psycho.htm\">Psycho<\/a><\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hifi-writer.com\/he\/bdreviews\/psycho.htm\"> on Blu-ray<\/a>, and I am about to discuss the 5.1 audio mix &#8212; the amazingly good 5.1 audio mix. So I looked up the company that managed to pull this off: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.audionamix.com\/\">Audionamix<\/a>. It turns out that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.audionamix.com\/inception\">it also did the work<\/a> on Edith Piaf for <em>Inception<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span>Mr. ZIMMER:<\/span> Oh, yeah, yeah. Yes. Some science fiction actually did go into the score. I mean &#8211; and nobody has actually asked me this question. So how did you get the voice totally separate? Because we&#8217;ve extracted her voice out of a preexisting recording. We found some scientists in France who could do that for me. So I actually have a pristine, clean version of Miss Piaf singing the song without any backing track. It&#8217;s a bit like, you know, pulling out one cell out of a DNA of somebody.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My goodness. I can see endless uses for this technology (so long, as with <em>Psycho<\/em>, the original mono is also provided).<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of <em>Psycho<\/em>, I have the Blu-ray version of this to give away.
