Umm...that's what web search engines are for.

I liked his voice before the trach tube -- I've heard recordings, and they sound like Tuvan throat singing -- he'd make a kind of raspy drone, and then the words would be modulated on the overtone series. It was an amazing sound that I wish I had a DAT full of. And I don't think he really gives a shit about the sound quality of his voice synth -- he's more concerned with actually getting the words into the computer, which for him is a very tortuous process.
