2001 (film): HAL's disconnection - why does voice slow down?


Is there a good mechanical or electronic reason for HAL's voice to slow down, record-on-a-turntable-style, as he's disconnected?


It's aesthetically effective, and I'm happy to grant artistic licence, but I'm just curious whether there's actual justification. (I come from a place of mechanical/electronic ignorance. The only thing that occurred to me in thinking about this is that computers used to include reel-to-reel tape, but that wouldn't matter here: HAL's speech isn't prerecorded, and removing his memory banks wouldn't cause machinery to slow down.)
