Nowhere on the page does it say the voices were synthesized, and on the

second piece it actually has a list of the names of the performers.
The composer uses open-source software running on Linux to compose and

score the piece, but not to perform it.  It's a bit of a shame - a

really good physical-modelling voice synth would be fun...
