 Amon Tobin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amon Tobin is a musician, DJ, and producer known for his massive sound walls of sampled jazz fused with drum and bass and samba.
Tobin is renowned for his creative use of sampling, from old recordings to motorcycles (Supermodified) and even the acoustics of buildings (Out From Out Where) which are stretched and skewed often beyond recognition.
Tobin manages, however, to extract order from this acoustic chaos.

 Disquiet: interviews: Amon Tobin, 1998
Tobin: I'll have to listen to the record more carefully and not think about that.
Like all of Tobin's music, "Switch" is built entirely from samples, and this song maintains essentially the same root sample for its entire four-minute length -- a tidy piano loop of the sort of hot jazz that might back a Betty Boop cartoon or the credits to a Woody Allen movie.
Tobin: I'd be an oddity if I moved back, and not just because of the music.

 Amon Tobin
Tobin is the epitome of the shy kid who stays home dreaming up new sonic tricks like the enveloping bass of "Defocus," which does for hearing what crossing your eyes does for vision, and "Chomp Samba," which drives a samba rhythm up to the frenzied pace of 150 beats per minute.
DJ Amon Tobin's debut CD is a laid-back, ultra-slick trip through experimental fields of jazz-based jungle beats, deep liquid bass, polyrhythmic drum lines, and creaking machine parts.
His sophisticated ear for jazz phrasing makes for challenging mixes in which he plays the part of the serious songwriter, replacing the lyrics and guitars of rock with sound collages built on borrowed beats.

 Amon Tobin - Out From Out Where - Stylus Magazine
With its chopped-up vocals and ultra-phat beat, “Verbal” is Tobin at his coolest, and is one of the best songs on the album.
For the first time in his career, Tobin has released an album that does not push forward the boundaries of electronic music, an album that isn’t miles ahead of its peers.
However, it is slightly disconcerting to see Amon Tobin settle into a more comfortable position with this release; we can only hope that his intentions were not to continue to do so, but to perfect his previous sound before releasing more groundbreaking efforts.

 Solid Steel Presents Amon Tobin: Recorded Live - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solid Steel Presents Amon Tobin: Recorded Live is an album by drum and bass artist Amon Tobin mixed live using the Final Scratch software.
There exist radio directors cut mixes which includes all the songs which could not be used on the album due to licence problems.
It was recorded live, as the title suggests, in Melbourne, Australia during 2003 for Ninja Tune's Solid Steel radio series.

 Disquiet: interviews: Amon Tobin, 2002
Tobin: I was listening to a lot of psychedelic stuff when I was making this record and one of my first notions in making the album was, I want to make an electronic psychedelic album.
Tobin: On the original version of Adventures in Foam, the proper UK issue and also on the reissue that Ninja are doing now, that's how the CD was: little sounds between the tracks, to try and tie the whole thing together.
This, too, is something of an evolution for Tobin, who as recently as 1998, when he released Permutation, his follow-up to Bricolage, said he thought "tune to tune," not in terms of albums.

 Amon Tobin Bio
Amon first recorded as Cujo for Ninebar Records, culminating in his debut album, "Adventures In Foam".
Amon's fourth album is his most challenging yet, in some ways a departure, in others a development of everything that has gone before.
People began comparing Amon to Ennio Morricone, artists as diverse as David Byrne and Cannibal Corpse went out of their way to praise him and Tobin found himself playing sold out shows at the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Knitting Factory in New York and the Coachella Festival.

 Amon Tobin
If you don't think the sampler can be a musical instrument, you haven't been listening to the music of Amon Tobin!
Amon is something of a night owl when it comes to writing his material, working through the small hours to put a track together in one block.
Another problem Amon has faced in the live arena is the inadequacy of some PAs, which struggled to cope with the huge sonic range of his music.

It's a new Amon Tobin album (and a good one at that), and that's all I need.
But it seems illogical to release a record that's so obviously meant as background music as an album meant for listening to on its own...
This isn't a revolutionary album for Tobin but it's a lot of fun, and works surprisingly well on its own, given the stringent requirements it had to meet.

 Amon Tobin - PopMatters Concert Review
His last two songs were played with the house lights up, providing the crowd their first view of Amon, and what we saw was the DJ super-charge a few guitar samples with his usual danceable beats.
Even stranger was that Tobin's encore actually gave me hope that DJ-shows can in fact offer an experience different than just listening to the albums.
Those who choose to pay twenty-five dollars to see Amon Tobin are fans of the music and in this case they paid to witness Amon as a hardly-visible spectre on stage.

 Splendid E-zine reviews: Amon Tobin
Yes, the percussion is sampled from jazz -- there's a cymbal-clash in there that he might as well trademark-- but on the whole, it's the most conventionally "clubbish" track he's created in a long time.
After being impressed by Bricolage and floored by Permutation, I expected this album to be a revelation -- and indeed, portions of it are.
Expect to be quite satisfied with Supermodified, but join me in hoping that on his next album, Tobin breaks through his stylistic ceiling rather than merely pushing very hard against it.

 BBC - collective - amon tobin interview
Amon recorded the whole thing live and in one take, using Final Scratch — a piece of software that lets DJs manipulate MP3 and other files on a laptop and specially modified decks, thus enabling them to reconfigure and remix tracks from scratch rather than simply seguing two slabs of vinyl together.
As enigmatic on record as in person, Amon’s three albums for Ninja Tune — the last of which, Out From Out Where, was released in 2002 — don’t so much feed the brain as pump it full of weird experimental drugs.
If it’s true that music is a product of its creator’s environment then that might explain why Amon Tobin’s sound is so difficult to keep track of.

 Amon Tobin: Out From Out Where: Pitchfork Review
Not so for the man called Amon, whose ability to evoke entire jazz symphonies from two turntables and a sampler caused much jaw-dropping and salivation.
The later songs slow down for a series of drifting atmospheres punctuated by dubby upstrokes or hints of Brazilian percussion, and it's increasingly mind-boggling to believe that all the featured sounds originate from a sampler.
Where the pleasure lies here, however, is in listening to the rich layers unfold, and the music just glows, filled with his enthusiasm.

It is easily the most addictive song he's recorded to date, replete with thumping bass line and ludicrous drum breaks.
'Deo' again presents an intellectual Amon Tobin who allows his tracks to evolve, weaving a elaborate oriental rug of organic tones and beats.
Then we have 'Saboteur,' a subtle epic that hovers on the edge of genius, yet is able to shatter walls in its sheer restraint from exploding into rhythmic madness.

Yet the "organic" feel that Tobin manages to achieve in his soundscapes divorces his music from danceable club fodder.
Permutation showcases the work of a musician who has truly seized the means of sonic production and infused them with his own creative energy.
Others, such as "Switch," take on a big-band jazz sound and re-create newness from the old.

 * Dusted Reviews - Amon Tobin *
Apparently, the CD is the result of a new and complex software/hardware bundle that Tobin’s been using on the road.
The disc is both intellectually and intuitively enjoyable; at the halfway point and about two-thirds in, Tobin heats things up after lulls in the music recall the spacily enticing intro.
His own tracks — mainly from Out from Outwhere — are interspersed with those by artists as diverse as Dizzee Rascal, DJ Food and Velvet Underground, creating a sound-stew heavily peppered with Tobin’s lately-favored live-sounding drum patterns and organ overlays.

 Q&A: Chaos Theory composer Amon Tobin - Xbox News at GameSpot
Beginning with his 1997 debut Bricolage, Tobin carved out his own niche among Ninja Tune's roster with his spookily melodic sound, which evolved on his subsequent albums, Permutation (1998), Supermodified (2000), and Out From Out Where (2002).
When reviewing his albums, music critics would often liken Tobin's atmospheric work to a warped film soundtrack.
Known for innovative acts such as DJ Food, Funki Porcini, Hexastatic, and the ground-breaking Coldcut (who first came to prominence remixing Eric B. and Rakim's "Paid in Full" in the 1980s), Ninja Tune has remained at the forefront of electronic music--so much so that some critics have given the label its own eponymous subgenre.

While the great majority of jazz-junglists look no farther back than the mid-'60s for inspiration (and samples), Tobin took his bag of tricks back into the swing era to come up with more (and more interesting) variations on the form than most anyone else.
