Amon Tobin and the Music of 'Infamous'

FInd out how Amon Tobin and the Sony Music team used found objects to create a dark and grimey video game score.

The soundtrack is clearly made by Amon Tobin, without him it would have been a lot different, and maybe not as good. And instead of Amon Tobin talking about his music, we have the directors and producers talking, taking all the credit.

watching this in 2021, still finding out new things about this game, makes me wanna replay it again.

[MakuthePOtHead]

every sound amon touches becomes something so awsome...

[sutman]

very true.

let's not forget the use of sound (everything you hear in the game apart from music and voice)
sound can be very effective at supporting the story, gameplay and immersiveness, often at a subconscious level. which is why it is usually overlooked

[Hex]

Amazing game, so amazed to find out Amon did the soundtrack.

I love Amon Tobin and I love InFamous, but I never knew that he did the music for it! It makes sense though now that I think about it. Amon Tobin kicks ass!

[laussica]

one thing that i loved about infamous
and that was the music
fucking loved it
had a great feel

[AzaIndustries]

He did a similar thing with Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. The music would change slightly depending on whether you were detected or not, or directly in combat. 4 stages for each music track and each level had its own music.

amon tobin is the master of all sounds, godfather of sampling...

I have met Amon Tobin live shook his hand thanked and told him thank you for your music. This was after an amazing concert he put on with a 30min Drum and Bass mix and then back to his stuff.

I love the soundtrack song, 'anything for trish'. It's not only a weird mix of instruments, but genres too. LOVE IT!

anybody who hasn't played inFAMOUS needs to buy it NOW. I've played it about 5 times through and it is one of the most fun games I have ever played.

xter34:
He IS in the room all the time, you just don't see him. He's a supernatural being.

[ManuelColom]

The title chosen for this video is really precise and accurate, as it shows specifically what was the contribution of Amon Tobin here: just a label on other guys work. So nothing new under the sun, so far. Great job guys, keep the title, and forget the fans and boeotians that can't learn anything from this kind of in-depth point of view.

[CanadaGradeEh]

My god, Amon Tobin is just fucking amazing.

[Pehmu]

Dude, wait, what...? Infamous has Amon Tobin's music? Ok, I'm so buying that game right away.

[TahoeNevada]

I have the soundtrack to "Splinter Cell 3: Chaos Theory" by him. It's awesome!

[chameliondude]

Really Cool, i assumed most games just recycled similar sounding music, but this is really ingenuative and cool

[CavemanZoinks]

This was probably one of the games with the best music, Amon Tobins music has a really great feel. His other compositions are great as well.

[libertarianjury]

Wow. ...Awesome! Can they put these high, medium, and low elements on a curve of skin temperature, heartrate, muscle tension, and/or landspeed? That would be awesome connected to a feedback-looped car stereo, or feedback-looped clothes. Since Amon Tobin is naturally a soundtrack to my life, especially while driving, I think that'd be the hipcool next big thing.
