Amon Tobin : ISAM Live 2.0

Amon Tobin : ISAM Live 2.0

Picking up from where Amon Tobin's ISAM Live left at the end of 2011, the immersive A/V show made an even bigger imprint on the world of electronic music in the past months. ISAM Live started off 2012 with rapturous response at two Coachella headline performances this year. Overseas, a sold-out night at London's Brixton Academy was shortly followed by a tour run in Australia, which included two sold-out back-to-back performances at the iconic Sydney Opera House in June. The performances, which were streamed live from Sydney, accumulated over 500,000 views. ISAM additionally made a hugely celebrated appearance at Sonar festival in Barcelona on June 15th.

For the Autumn run of dates throughout America, ISAM Live 2.0 will launch: introducing the new ISAM construction, enhanced with new audio and visual elements. Part of the new content in the ISAM Live show will be composed of forthcoming Two Fingers material. Tobin will be revealing new music from his beat-oriented alias, in celebration of the highly anticipated sophomore album due this Fall on Big Dada. All past ISAM Live shows have sold out, so get your tickets now or be lost in the dust come fall.

If this is going to be an Amon Tobin's live show, is going to be a bomb! Ninja Tunes always have the best cutting edge stuff. Thank you!

Saw Isam live last year before he did coachella and his set was much smaller and still had a great show.... this is gonna be amazing

[TheBeatVoyager]

This is once in a lifetime experience, simply amazing

[stevebelzer]

Agreed. Heard him play in Portland, OR last night. Mind blown. And as astounding as the visual piece is, even without it the music would have been enough to leave me absolutely floored.

[WangTheGardener]

i went to isam 1.0 will definately be going again. an expierience you will never forget.

[edoardociceri]

Amon, you are still the best sound designer, period.

[AudhamEnThaTokyo]

He's finally coming to Japan! Can't wait for November!!!

[Nightincairomusic]

please, for the love of all that's holy, bring this to the uk sometime soon!

[herbalhancock]

after having been to see isam three times travelling from Glasgow to London twice ! and Glasgow to Manchester once, an over all round trip of 2000 miles, i thought i had had my share. And now he has gone and done this! why Mr Tobin? my bankbook cant handle

[narcism]

Just when you thought, there is no way anything will ever top ISAM... holy shit, this has!!

[midilifestyle]

It's the "holy, other, Kronos, quartet" in the 'tags' field that has me coming out to the congress theater to see this show again :)

[dchoubak]

I live in Vancouver and am going to see this tomorrow in Seattle. As you said, not far, you should make the drive.

[rexadelic]

Just saw this last night...holy shit. If it's coming to your area, GO SEE IT.

[robert.melter]

wtf ! i want a live dvd in blu ray PLEASEEEE!

[SirCactus]

Seeing this in 3 hours. Fucking stoked.

[aninjainatree]

not sure about the software, but the images are rendered on a computer before hand, then projection mapped on the cube structure which is white, with four projectors. the images are 2d but the cubes are 3d giving the images a 3d look.

[mazinais]

saw it at bloc 2012.. looked like one projector - actually you can see the bright projector beam on some yt videos from the place... but that was isam 1.0 ... but still boggles my mind how we see no shadows in places... some shows where audience is higher than the installation should be projected from above the structure while others from below... so i wouldnt be surprised if it's more than one projector

[muskaria]

If you saw four projectors, then it's four! I don't know, I read that in the article and I was surprised, maybe they used only one for the "1.0" show? Really dont know... :)
You're fortunate, I hope he'll come back to Europe, so I can check it by myself! :P

[discotraxx]

I wish I could have! But my friend from the island came to visit, I would have looooved to, you have a good time? :)

[etherealrhythm]

Holy shit it's fucking beautiful.
