AMON TOBIN: ISAM

[geonotgio]

WHY IS THIS NOT GETTING ANY HYPE?!



THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE! This ranks up there with the Daft Punk Set.

[Mike Litoris]

WE DEFINITELY NEEDED ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT THIS TOTALLY INSANE SET, bro

[geonotgio]

my bad. I'm really excited about this set.

[geonotgio]

Do you think that thing can fit inside the sahara?

[baldomero]

I can't wait for this set!!! I picked up Islam and Foley room as I recently discovered Amon and have quickly fallen in love... Don't spread the word to much, I want homey ALL to myself lol !!!!!!!!

[Mr. Dylanja]

I'm hoping/expecting that this v2.0 of ISAM will offer some variance in the set. "People Like Frank," or "Permutation" would be awesome.

It could fit inside the Gobi.

Just curious about your comment... this is supposed to be a v.2.0 of ISAM? Is there news or info about that anywhere?

[MistaGlitch]

I heard Coachella was the last performance of ISAM and he's debuting Version 2.0 after...that's inaccurate?

[Goatchella]

There are many other threads... Even late threads where the op was made to look like a clown.


Yet here we are.



Again.


Hey has anyone heard of ISAM? I'm a kook and I just found out today.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Don't get excited, I was assuming.

[Wheres the beef?]

I thought version 2.0 was what he was touring around NA with after the 1.0 debut at mutek and dB and that coachella would be the 3.0.

[thefrush]

I'll wait until version 7.0

[keegan891]

it isn't as big as it looks on video they'll be able to fit it inside the hard part is going to be setting it up quickly

just a scenario please no one flip out on this but...

just a scenario


had him close the outside stage so they would have an hour to set it up in-between the last two acts on the main stage

[Vic Viper]

if i'm someone who's only been vaguely familiar with amon tobin and never heard ISAM, should i listen to it now or wait to watch it live? checking out a few tracks from it now, it seems like it might have more of an impact on me if i go in not knowing what to expect, and then having the album to re-live the experience afterwards.

[Goatchella]

Sahara will more than likely have one stage and light set up. Custom productions will prob be in gobi, Mojave or outdoor

[MistaGlitch]

id listen to the album but not watch the show in advance.

[weezy f baby]

Do I have to click the ACCEPT TERMS AND CONDITIONS box in order to watch version 2.0?

I wouldn't know what to tell you brotha. Nobody knows you better than you. The act is not just about music but an overall experience. Stimulating more than just the ears.

i've been listening to ISAM on loop this morning, i think i'm on my 4th listen. i kind of stopped listening to this style of music/sound awhile ago (too dissonant and "sound collage"-y, i need a good beat) but for what it is, i dig it. i can imagine visuals going nicely with this and i'm looking forward to seeing it live on the fields.

This isn't music. It's more like a crazy trippy experimental film. There was not really much dancing involved. Just a bunch of people starring in amazement. I know I was completely dumbfounded by it. Looking forward to version 2.45a

SPOT ON BRO!

Islam is by far his best album...


The ISAM show was the best movie I saw in 2011, I wouldn't consider it a concert. It's a visually stunning movie with an interesting score, that's it.

[involvelemons]

I'm not even really a Tobin fan, and thought that Isam was kinda just-ok (I preferred Supermodified), but the live set was really badass. I thought I wouldn't be hyped on it after watching all the videos online, but it completely held my attention.

[geonotgio]

psssst. would you recommend taking a psychedelic?

[geonotgio]

nvm i'll answer my own question. i'm fucking doing it.

[daftpunked]

Amon says ISAM was created through his own psychedelic experiences, so yeah, the show might make even more sense that way.

well i hesitant to call it music, but i didn't know if i'd offend some tobin megafan by insinuating it wasn't "music".

it's been good background accompaniment for work today.

ISAM is more experimental soundscapes than music - Tobin himself has stated that. His earlier stuff was a lot different. Seems like ISAM live is more multimedia art installation than a musical performance. That's what I'm going into it expecting.

And people are still dead set on him being in the Sahara.
