This is just too much. ISAM is one of the best records I have ever heard, and to be able to see how the sounds were created up close was more than anything I had ever hoped to find on youtube.
The keyboard looks like a mini trampoline for your fingers. A really really expensive trampoline for your fingers
it feels soooooo good tho
Truly amazing and unique, Tobin. Never, ever stop.
Man, that is a gorgeous studio :O
ISAM pushed a lot of boundaries that Amon Tobin never touched before, and the live show is as it is to visually represent this. There is no lack of quality, only innovation and originality.
Making crazy sounds is the easy part. It's making them fit together into a coherent (a) composition and (b) mix which is tricky. But then who would give away their trade secrets? :)
Someone who is a curious learner that understands that there's other curious learners wanting to experiment with what you discovered. Then they might learn something and then exchange that in return.
that is so eerie but I love it, amazing production
Is this album self-indulgent? Yes. Is it sonically filled to the brim with alien sounds? Totally. Does it break barriers in electronic music? Undoubtedly. Will it appeal to older amon fans and people just getting into his music? Not really.
I think what tobin has done is make a phonetic experience which is mind bending and just mind boggling, but the scarcity of solid grooves and recognizable melodies makes it a hard one to love at first go.
Freaking awesome if listened to carefully.
the chair sounded brilliant.
We witnessed magic.
The whole Album reminds me of Stockhausen stuff Kontakte. Amon is expermenting with sounds like Stockhausen was doing back than. Though Tobins sound are much more complicated and sophisticated. Modern Stockhausen or something. Great!
tactile interface taken to new heights. Very cool.
Thanks for another great album, Amon. Loving every minute of it.
Keep it up, man!
This is pure gold! :D Thanks for sharing. My inspiration is back!
i'd never get anything done with this thing :D looks like a lot of fun playing around with this
you and The Gaslamp Killer should work toghetter, crazy combo.
Hope they release a Blu-Ray of the live ISAM performance for those of us who can't make it to the show! -3
Does anyone know what kind of microphone that is? I saw Robert Henke using the same one in his Granulator video, now I'm curious.
The keyboard he is using is a Haken Audio Fingerboard. The large model he using is about $5,500 dollars with no CV options for synths or case. Id expect to spend anywhere in the $4000-$6500 dollar range for either the half or full size Hacken. Google Hacken Audio Fingerboard. Good luck ;)
Really cool. The chair is awesome
Yes it is but the fingerboard makes it a lot easier to play around and fight the right sounds, whereas if you were using a regular keyboard you would be limited to only a couple parameters and would have to work in unison with the software to achieve a specific sound
i work on abstract hip hop,you giving me inspiration
This guy is mad scientist.
pioneer/ genius ,and makes farking good music :) happy
Really underwhelming, I thought he was moving planets.
Nah, he stopped doing that because of copyright issues
Hugh Le Caine was our next-door neighbour when i was a kid. Amon, trust me - if he saw this he'd be grinning from ear to ear.
4 people were upsidedown when watching this and clicked the thumbs up
Nice to see this! :)
9 years. I feel old. Do you?
Dope album :P was listening to it today :D Well Done bro
@DunnazHungus
Right, obviously some sort of midi controller. Looks like it has pressure and vibrato as well, like an Ondes Martenot. But I've never seen anything like it. What kind is it: brand, type, etc?
Amazing !
@senatorkenator
Its called a midi controller
the red and black are the keys
quite very possibly pressure sensitive
anybody that clicks dislike on this video must hate life and creativity
OMG now I understand how he ceates music
those monitors ( K+H O500C) are so damn expensive
that mic is also expensive around $1400
This dude is one of Alon Mor's influences... Wow
Yes I think it's awesome their names are slightly alike too. Alon's music is powerful!
Alon Mor sucks
@@NRyan-ok1ky😨I love him. I'm his biggest fan.
The live experience has been superb entertainment. Thought was all synthetic coming to know thi
This it’s jus amazing!!
still waiting for the actual Spectral Morph part, didn't notice it myself and it's kind of one of my obsessions (spectral morphing)
@gustavoturm It is in disputable that amon was influenced by musique concréte and acousmatic music for making this record. Take a listen on Telemusik or Mikrofonie and you will hear that these two artist have a similary aproach to sounds and how to manpulate them.
Sympa la moquette... ...
@1undread Pioneer on what? Recording samples from common objects is a common idea from XX century. Stockhausen made a concert for 4 helicopters and 4 violins.
it's an Earth works microphone, kind of the 'standard' for field recordists
Thanks for sharing
i need this for reasons!
It's Reason, not Reasons. How many times have I heard that. LOL I'm gonna go make a track on my Logics
I need this for multiple reasons......BETTER YOU BITTER FUCK? :D
Giga Kadeishvili It seems I'm not the one who is bitter, my friend). Have a good day
I reason my needs!
I need my reasons!
Anyone who misses Amon Tobin's earlier jazz styling's should check out Dusted Wax Kingdom records - particularly Mr moods, Jenova 7 and Esbe - and no i dont work for them i just like good music.
@zonda01 im listening to broken soul jamboree by tipper at the moment - that for me is a new(ish) album you can listen to all the way through without skipping tracks .
@iluvmma UK. As far as I know there are no shows near me. I ain't travelling to SF lol. Need the show on Blu-ray!
3 people still mad that amon tobin isn't using samples any more disliked this
I think ISAM sounds like the orchestra of the XXI century :D
1:20 sounds a LOT like the synth from Crunch Rhythm. Possibly the origin of it?
Trippy
@Earthworksaudio Cool, thanks for the info!
There are two people with God's hands: Tom Morello and Amon Tobin
8geartodown
I love you.
Haken Continuum and Kyma are bad ass. Amon Tobin made a few cool tracks in the sound design heavy vein so far, but honestly his old stuff was better.. if he could find more of a middle ground between the old melodic jazz sensibility he was working with and the new sound design stuff I think it would ber more consistently better. There are a couple really great tracks on ISAM but as an album I feel like it doesn't totally hold together.
2:29 - There go the contents of my bowels.
My necktie doesn't make even half of these sounds. I demand a refund
@awepittance Ah okay, do you have any kind of model number in your head?
@JamboXL im going in OCT :D to SF for his how .. lol I live in san diego and the LA show sold out so im going to sf to see ISAM .. no way i can miss that
@zonda01 Quite right mate , 6 or 7 great albums - loads of brilliant remixes and one not so good album , im still into him and i'll be waiting for the next album - heres some others im listening at the moment , astrobotnia ,abelcain and datsik.
Does anyone know what microphone that is? I believe it's an Earthworks...just trying to figure out which model!
Jade Cicada did you ever figure out what model Earthworks microphone it was?
What is the red and black strip that he touches!?
what is the name of that MIDI Fingerboard amon is using?
@JamboXL haha where you live man ? SF show still has tickets I believe. You should try to go :)
'Come on everybody, you all know the words...'
What software tho?
wtf kind of midi is that
Haken Audio Continuum fingerboard
do someone know what software does he use to edit his recorded sounds ? thanks :)
What's the mic he's using?
welcome to the lab
What in gods name is this red instrument called? I must know.
@AxiomCrux This ^ You nailed it man.
what microphone is that?
what mic does he use?
does anyone know what keyboard he's using
It's an Earthworks Mic. Incredibly expensive.
@gustavoturm We all know what a helicopter sounds like and what a violin sounds like, do you know what ISAM sounds like?
0:48 where can I get a ribbon controller like that.
@Ccffect I thought he used camel audio alchemy?
@zonda01 fair enough mate if four tracks are enough for you , its nowhere near enough for me though , amon tobin didnt make a bad track for years - mind blowing album after mind blowing album , phat beats , huge bass grooves and his own brand of atmospherics , now this sad slide into self indulgence .as said before im really disappointed .
Is he using Live?
2:51 - 2:55 sounds like a little blip from Bedtime Stories. whoa.
what the hell kind of mic is that?
holy s**t
Symbolic Sound KYMA
One word: GRANULASRSYNTHESIS!
Obviously three. Like, obviously...
@awepittance Please elaborate. What you mentioned just SOUNDS interesting. lol
@Sammagot Electronic music with fairly alterated rythmic and timbres. Whenever some "experimental" electronic artist comes in, it's only that. The only difference i've seen until now was the Gantz Graf from Autechre.
does anyone know what speakers he is using?
+Phillipe Grishin Klein + Hummel O500C. K&H was bought by Neumann. I think the comparable current model is the Neumann KH 420.
+jfilbert thanks dude
Это безумно!!!!!
The mic looks to be an Earthworks QTC30
@zonda01 - like you say journeyman's the best tune - not to sure of the titles of the others but the one that sounds like the first track on foley room that has some lyrics on is ok - the found sounds are great ,but wheres the grooves , certainly no easy muffin, slowly, sordid, two ton mantis etc, etc - this is an album made by someone who has lost his love for the beats..............sad
I want that.
I want one.
5.23 skidoo!
@MonoGenerator Stockhausen is a completelly diferent kind of artist. Your comparison is unplausible - considering you have a background on XX century music.
hah, well said!
no shortage of folks who don't know what a spectral morph really is
sorry, no. musique concrete was a close ancestor of electronic music. these composer used "found" sounds (samples of acoustic sounds), then, people like Stockhausen started making all with electronic means, creating new sounds.
I think that he is a Cubase user. At least, he was...
