The generative audio patch Kidel used to make Voice Recognition DoS Attack seeks to disable the functionality of voice recognition software by triggering phonemes (the smallest units of language).
The project, first developed for the Eavesdropping series of events in Melbourne, exploits a weakness in voice rec- ognition that cannot distinguish between individual voices. When you speak while the patch is playing, the cascading shards of human expression mask your speech and thus protect you from automated surveillance, questioning our vulnerability in the face of global data giants. In amongst these displaced sounds, Kidel fed additional musical elements into his patch to create the version of the project heard on this release.

This is one of the best albums i've ever heard. I swear, I will never hear anything like it again.
Don't tell anyone but I cried the first time I heard it. rewritephobia
