Yumi Matsutoya is a 71-year-old artist from Japan who is working with a startup called Dreamtonics on her latest album.

The company’s voice synthesis technology has enabled her to duet with her younger self.

As we grow older, our voices change, grow deeper, rougher and lose some of their previous range.

Ozzy Osbourne is among others who have relied on other methods of augmenting their vocal performances.

Some want an authentically human performance, warts and all, and reject such efforts as fakery.

Others will embrace it, insistent that when they pay for a concert ticket, they want whatever comes from the stage to sound exactly like the original recordings.

We’re only at the very beginning of what will be a major revolution in how music is composed and performed.
