Formatted in 2009 AUDiNT is a research cell consisting of Steve Goodman and Toby Heys. The unit investigates the ways in which the military-industrial and military-entertainment complexes of the C20th and C21st have used sound, silence and noise to influence, manipulate, and torture the human body. Their ultimate task is to chart and narrate the evolution of sonic weaponry.
