Amon Tobin - ISAM

That preview "track" is bunk.. keep thinking it will lead to something nice but it sort of just noodles around.

Howevahhhh, for those who don't know Amon has already released this track on the Ninja Tune XX release, and it will be on ISAM

The album sample sounds very much in line with what he did for the Taxidermia soundtrack. I liked that stuff, even though there wasn't much of it.

/3-handed facepalm

are you people oblivious to the whole sound sculpture concept? stick to fuckin ceephax acid crew if you cannot grasp Tobin's path and stop perverting this beautiful wonderful thread

please explain to us what it means, we are clearly oblivious to the concept

anyone heard anything about the alternate/unreleased mix of the noisia collab?

wonder if that will ever see a release

LOL

Amon Tobin's music requires a phd for enjoyment. I'm currently in my 3rd year

is this what's commonly known as sarcasm?

I too am curious to hear the explanation of a sound sculpture concept.

I don't know, is it?

Facebook Q&A

Q: Is this album an extension of Foley Room? Or can we expect something completely different?

A: "in many ways it's a logical step from sampling to foley/field recording to now the synthesis of field recordings incorporating acoustic modeling and multisampling techniques amongst other things. "

Q: Track N°5 (Lost & Found) is the same version of the track on Ninja Tune XX ?

A: yes it is.

Awesome, love the cover art, all of his proper albums have delivered for me so I can't see this not doing so... Taxidermia was a bit disposable but the Monthly Joints release was quality... he also gave away a 24-min ambient track called "in the dark intermission" on his website a while back which is worth tracking down...

listen to that crisp sandwich crunch... can't wait for this. I always felt Amon Tobin tends to pack his compositions in too tight. Dense as fuck... and its just too much of a feast. This track has a lot more room to breath and it sounds like the album will take the same form

I hate when people are vague about their gear. make it sound mysterious, so you don't sound so common.

I love amon tobin btw, but that was a bs answer.

I gotta say, the sample didn't get me TOO excited (as it seems it did for others), but that Lost & Found track is nice!! Wish is wasn't such a long wait...

yeah, i mean i guess it does sound cooler to say 'lots of acoustic modeling' rather than saying 'yeah i used Tension and Collider in abelton, pretty badass'

It's a huge pet peeve of mine. Don't shatter the illusion of being transcendental and on some kind of different level than everyone else!

its good for the music though, right? just playing the advocate. i don't intend to argue about this, like everything else on the internet.

i really like tobin. i think i prefer his first few with the "stripped down" approach to the new style but i haven't really listened enough to speak on it.

tobin seems like an artist i should listen to more.
