JAN JELINEK
Social Engineering
Boomkat Product Review:
Never one to be second guessed, Jan Jelinek returns with a stunning album of text-to-speech recitals of scam emails set to server-room ambient computer music, something like Sam Kidel meets Nozomu Matsumoto at Florian Hecker’s lab.
Conceived originally as a radio work for Südwestrundfunk, ’Social Engineering’ frames thirteen text fragments from “so-call phishing emails” in a playful example of Jan Jelinek’s perspective on the modern world and technology thru the prism of computer music. The scam emails ubiquitous to everyone’s junk box become material to be pulled apart and given new meaning via processes of speech synthesis, craftily reflecting on their ludicrousness and effectively turning digital detritus data into something useful for enjoyment.
In tone and approach the results remind us of everything from Nozomu Matsumoto’s adaptations of Japanese environmental ambient to Sam Kidel’s work with phone “phreaking” on ‘Disruptive Muzak’, thru to James Ferraro’s uncanny valley investigation ‘Far Side Virtual’ or Uwe Schmidt’s ‘Pop Articifielle’, but bent with Jelinek’s personal sense of humour and curious turns of phrase. We direct intrigued ears towards the subtly unsettling cadence of looped gasps and multi-lingual recital on ‘BUSINESS’, the whisked voider of ‘The Narrative of the heritage’, and the way he wears it in-and-out of the box in ‘ALERT_’ for some of the uncanniest examples, and you’ll have a grasp of the kerned, syntactic and semantic fuckries going down inside.
