Artist commentary:

Clark Powell:

concept ep where a virtual dog idol uses vocal synthesizers in her pop music because she has no voice

summer's over but the bangers aren't

The idea for this "virtual pop star" came from my personal aspiration to create true pop music– of course, this would be impossible for me through normal channels. I'm trans, and my singing voice is decimated.

Undeterred, I've been experimenting a lot with vocal synthesis the last couple years, using tools like Vocaloid and sample-editing. The result is After Party Animal, the virtual idol behind these songs.

DOG GIRL SUMMER begins today: After-Party Animal has released her debut pop EP!

This is new territory for me (and her), and I'm so excited for you to finally hear her voice. Enjoy <3
