Decibel and the Red Bull Music Academy are proud to present the US debut of AMON TOBIN ISAM LIVE. Based on the reviews and videos from the world debut at Montreal’s MUTEK festival earlier this year, ISAM LIVE has elevated Amon’s already legendary status as a producer and performer to that of true visionary in a class all his own. Supporting this monumental performance are two leading-edge talents (anticon’s Baths and Brainfeeder’s TOKiMONSTA) both of whom have connected with audiences world wide with their own unique brand of hip hop influenced experimental pop and electronica.
For the first time in Amon Tobin’s career, he’s now able to perform a show based around the concept of an album and deliver a truly unique visual experience to go along with his renowned audio experiences. Tobin has officially stepped away from previous DJ centric performances, and is now bringing a large scale live audio/visual experience of his latest album ISAM to select cities around the world. The highly-buzzed about, highly ambitious and breathtaking “ISAM” live show is now gearing up for it’s US debut at Decibel Festival. A truly visual onslaught – abstract narrative, subtle and bombastic – using projection mapping, generative/audio reactive real time and pre-rendered elements combined with custom software to control the show. The visual elements have been synched to ISAM to make a large scale next level HD experience. The show features a stunning 25′ x 14′ x 8′ multi-dimensional/ shape shifting 3-D art installation surrounding Tobin and enveloping him and the audience in a beyond 3-D experience. A fantastic visual journey to accompany ISAM. Developing the visual show alongside Amon has been the award winning, internationally published V Squared Labs in collaboration with Leviathan. Leading the animation and interactive team are directors Vello Virkhaus & Matt Daly.
For mercurial Los Angeles music-maker Will Wiesenfeld, Baths has been a long time coming. The 21-year-old has spent over the last six years, under the handle of [Post-Foetus], explorin the intersections of electronic and acoustic music. With Baths, his eclecticism finds its greatest focus yet, in a hail of lush melodies, ghostly choirs, playful instrumentation and stuttering beats.
Born and raised in the South Bay area of Los Angeles, TOKiMONSTA (Jennifer Lee) was an unfocused pupil of classical piano. However, she has come to use this background to create vast textural soundscapes through utilizing live instruments, percussion, digital manipulation, and dusty noise.
