Sad Machine-Porter Robinson Conspiracy Theory

[Oxagonal]

Does anyone else hear an eerie GLaDOS voice & general Portal-esc theme to the song?

[Oakkers]

Personally I thought it sounded like turret(s) but it definitely sounds portal-like, some of the lyrics could link in with the story. I'd like to know what his ideas behind the song were.

The singer is actually Avanna, an English Vocaloid by Zero-G, but it sounds like he editted her in a way which sounds GLaDOS-like.

He talks about him duetting with Avanna in an interview on Thump at around 5:40 in the video.

I noticed this as well. I at first thought it was a turret, but watching the lyric video made me change my mind, and I now think of her as GLaDOS. The guy would then be Doug Rattman.
The thing with the hand in that video reminds me very much of an FPS, and also reminds me of Magrunner, which is a puzzle game inspired by Portal, where you use a glove to magnetize objects.

Also, Chell never speaks. So the line, "She'll go alone, and never speak of this again" is very fitting.

"This girl who's slept a hundred years has something after all" also works. Even though we don't know how long Chell was asleep, at least a hundred years is a good bet.

"And thought I know, Since you've awakened her again"
No doubt it was about portal. The way he vocoded the vocaloid vocals made me do a double take because I thought it was a turret.

He said in a video that he's never even played portal 2...

Also, fun fact: Avanna, the vocaloid used in the song was also used for the song 'Still Alive' which played in the end credits of the first portal game...

I immidiately looked up "sad machine glados" because I listened to it and knew I was on to something
