Sound effects were recorded to create original sounds for the album rather than exclusively beat-sampling. High-resolution bit samples, gated and distorted to produce similar wave patterns as purely synth-based music. Tracks further into the album include melodic instrument samples, notably The Kronos Quartet provide samples. Read more on Last. This artist doesn't have any upcoming events at The Vogue. Artists Amon Tobin. Amon Tobin.
He is… Full Bio. This artist has never performed at The Vogue. Amon Tobin was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where he spent most of his early childhood. The surname Tobin comes from his Irish stepfather. Tobin settled in Brighton, England as a teenager which remained his permanent residence until There he began producing electronic music in his bedroom with samplers and other audio equipment such as an Amstrad Studio 4-track, although he was "not really involved in the music scene" at that time.
While taking an editorial photography class at a university in Brighton, he responded to a magazine promotion for the London-based Ninebar record label asking artists to send in demos of their songs. Ninebar signed Tobin to the label in after hearing his early work, and he traveled between his home in Brighton and the studios in London to produce his first official works.
In January , Tobin was contracted by video game company Ubisoft Montreal to compose the soundtrack for the third installment of their critically successful Splinter Cell series, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. To facilitate using the music in a video game, where the level of action or plot can change in real-time, each track was broken down by Tobin into four distinct but similar parts based on their level of intensity.

Call it end of millennium tension, but while the rest of us were out stockpiling food for the apocalypse, Amon was channelling all that into his next release Supermodified. Treating it like if this was the end of the human race as we knew it and computers would never work again or god forbid, if we were to be ruled by apes , then damn if he wasn't going make this banger before the lights went out.
If Amon's career is a 4LP set, then this 3rd instalment appropriately comes off like the 3rd side of any 4LP 70s rock opus… a time to push some boundaries, challenge the fans a bit, and set the stage for what's to come later. The record was an experiment in sound. In , Amon decided to relocate to Montreal. As Ninja Tune's North American headquarters is based there he'd spent a lot of time soaking in the culture and summer sunshine of the city, never once thinking that he'd never actually visited during the winter….
Somewhere around the time he felt the sensation of his nose hairs freezing for the first time, so settled into his new studio armed with a fresh set-up and an A La Carte Express menu by his side Montreal's bible of food for shut-ins to put the finishing touches on Out From Out Where.
When Amon decided to call his record Out From Out Where , the 'where' meant just that… a record that came from somewhere nobody could quite pinpoint. This was the logical conclusion of what the previous records had hinted at. It was a cohesive and banging record, but one with no obvious reference points. It just sounded like Amon Tobin, and Amon more so than a lot of artists can actually say his sound is very much recognizable as his own. This was wide screen Amon, dropping the cut-up hip-hop of verbal , the Eli Wallach inspired Hey Blondie , the future electro-disco of Cosmo Retro Intro Outro , and the terrifying death march of Proper Hoodidge.
