No, you're crying 😭
AdvertisementTanja said:"The hardest thing about this was the loss of my singing voice and although I do still have a voice, it's not the one I was born with. My sister and I have always been very close, and she has always been my biggest fan. Being able to surprise her on her doorstep and perform in this whole new way felt really special - I never thought I'd get to perform again in this way.
Martine's vocal sounds - the harmonies that provided the tune to Silent Night - were transmitted from the recording studio to the headphones, which Tanja was wearing around her neck. As the vocal samples travelled through Tanja's throat, she was able to shape the sounds into the words of Silent Night and the duo performed magically, in perfect unison.Martine McCutcheon said:"I have simply been blown away by how 5G and tech can be used in this way.
The key to the brilliant timing of the performance was Vodafone's superfast 5G network, which meant there was no delay in Martine's vocals reaching Tanja, allowing them to stay perfectly in sync with each other despite their different locations.Tanja was able to sing a surprise rendition of Silent Night to her sister on her doorstep
A spokesperson for Vodafone, which facilitated the duet with Martine, said:"We're always looking for ways in which we can use our technology to make a difference. Using the power of our 5G network can help achieve things that were thought impossible before. Obviously, this is very early days for this project, but by working with companies like Sound Voice who identified this use of the Electrospit, we're excited to continue to explore what else might be possible.
"The laryngectomy community is a small and scattered group, around 8,000 in the UK, easily overlooked in our society and at risk for social isolation. Working with Vodafone has been exciting, it is the first telecom company we know of that is invested in helping out a group of people who are challenged on multiple levels in their communication.
