Amon Tobin and the Music of 'Infamous'

[@JONminiminiME]

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.

[@Gawillamon]

These aren't directors and producers, these are just audio guys that helped produce the audio for the game. Amon Tobin may not have even wanted to be interviewed or been available.

[@Leavinsies]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@silentshadow867]

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!

[@MakuthePOtHead]

every sound amon touches becomes something so awsome...

[@sunset261]

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.

[@Hex72]

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

[@mrkrinkle699]

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.

[@zombiekanapa]

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

[@TheEverfade]

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

[@oliverl89]

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

[@Croot_Music]

This is how you make music

[@TahoeNevada]

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

[@CanadaGradeEh]

My god, Amon Tobin is just fucking amazing.

[@johndickey2224]

This is arguably the greatest video game soundtrack of all time. It really complements a masterpiece game like infamous.

[@Pehmu]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@niv6191]

I love the ending music...amazing

[@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.

[@MakuthePOtHead]

@VirtuaCory chaos theory was the best splitenter cell in 40 % becouse of amon tobins music. It created this special feeling that no other sc had before.

[@Boogieforme]

Awesome way of making music :)

[@RAYED2008]

wow that was really awesome they really did a great job o the music very impressive

[@FlintLostsoul]

I'm SO going to get his new album.

[@kwabecikuwu9161]

"new"

[@FlintLostsoul]

@@kwabecikuwu9161 11 years ago it was.

[@kwabecikuwu9161]

@@FlintLostsoul that's the joke

[@FlintLostsoul]

[@Chaoticplushie]

my favorite was the song from the quote scenes. to frekin awesome

[@Ski_Fails_Galore]

@karotomania : you'll find it on the itune store on the infamous soundtrack : "Stampton Bridge" must be the one, "The Courier" sounds similar both by Amon Tobin.

[@Slah606]

We are NOT talking crap about them! We are frustrated 'cause they refused to show Amon, even though he was clearly advertised in the description.

[@LightWorkerBass]

Where can I listen to the combat music track at 4:31 that shit is hard!

[@upT3mpo]

Amon is the master.

[@LeGronk]

I almost think about buying a PS3 and this game just to hear Amon. Not that I care more about one system over another, I just haven't paid attention to consoles for a long time.

[@mrticka]

@VirtuaCory Best game sountrack ever !

[@nac3rules]

wow didnt now amon tobin did the music for infamous too! he's incredible!

[@LukeSock]

Anyone know where I can find more videos of videogame music 'making of' videos?

[@Advandnaruto]

AMON TOBIN FTW

[@j0hnnycache]

holy shit i had no idea. I always loved the music in this game and now its a million times more awesome haha

[@lancebramsay]

We weren't satisfied with the sound so we poured dried beans on it.

[@DonnyRedNr1]

@xxtiaan no I meant that one and only picture of Amon Tobin. Since everybody was expecting to see him in this clip.. Sarcastically I directed to that picture at 1:32.

[@LeGronk]

I've already got it but it's not the same as experiencing it in the game, obviously. As I understand it, the in-game music is layered and event-driven in the game, like the one done for Chaos Theory.

[@RAYED2008]

great game with great music

[@BinkieMcFartnuggets]

If only musicians took more interest in the video game aspect of their music.

[@Drummavirus]

So when does the Game Soundtrack come out? =P I

[@mazinais31]

im getting excited

[@bub4444]

Very cool.

[@xxtiaan]

@DonnyRedNr1 what picture? Ive not played the game if thats what you mean

[@Amadeus9933]

@MakuthePOtHead That is so true special when you sign into spy vers merc then there is that battery them playing in the background unforgettable memories

[@testnoise]

amazing,

[@eveDjakku]

he's too cool to appear on the video

[@DoobeeSkunkWorks]

@LoreH3112 It's called Stampton Bridge.

[@milesaboveu]

Amon is the best part of this vid.

[@Personaboutspeed]

he said he is.

[@snake56]

@Miniboulette : "We"? Without them, there is no music.

[@kortisin3618]

what is that sound at 0:54?

[@purpleytical1391]

idk

[@Oremolus]

what programms did they use???? please write to me

[@planpitz4190]

Where is Amon?

[@maxpalombella11]

He never really does interviews.

[@Te4RHyP3]

...he is, it says it on his site

[@sarahsherlock.studio]

can anyone tell me what's the very first instrument they're playing? the stringed one being hit with the drum sticks?

[@sarahsherlock.studio]

Sarah Sherlock never mind, they said at 2.47 it's a chinease zither

[@BrettLavallee1]

Awesome!

[@FabulousZero]

I love inFamous

[@logos4pathos]

okay, that instrumental score in the Playsation menu that starts playing when u hover over inFAMOUS in the games section: Is there a title and where can i get it?

[@jordanmarcus]

i wanted to see more amon tobin! oh well 5 stars anyway jus cuz we know he was behind the soundtrack.

[@LiftingPeanuts]

what software are they using in the video?

[@unslept_em]

So did Amon compose it or make it?

[@lucysfrost]

great idea's

[@AndrewK57]

@sunset261 you're so right :D

[@franqy4056]

oooh first, you know how it goes

[@djgiga2]

nice!!

[@hipposmook]

@Ichvyenichalster no, he didn't actually. He said things like trash can lids and crushed cars are non musical, but they made them muscial.

[@dawson345]

nice bit of foley

[@Miniboulette]

@snake56 You seem to be very good at answering everything but the question dude... Where is AMON TOBIN ??? Because, without Amon tobin, there is not music either, in case you didn't realize.

[@Bluebuthappy182]

was the music released?

[@Glaiwo]

"thats cool" 3:53

[@bitspacemusic]

"We thought about using an electronic music composer's name in our production and Amon Tobin was the top pick." There, I fixed it for you.

[@claudiak.6430]

@Todd200 - he spells his name as Amon. For an Estonian it's incredibly convenient, for englismen far from it. ;-)

[@zenodio3D]

Amon Tobin look like DJ Krush according to the photo at 1:35

[@666tommytomtom666]

that's some fucken good shit right there

[@DonnyRedNr1]

@xxtiaan havent you seen the picture? ;)

[@am4di]

Waves plugins :)

[@ismael9902]

like si vienes por julian xd

[@Screamer1989]

so... what game is this for?

[@YouNolf]

No, he's MY god! XD

[@ITSCAPTAINDYNAMITE]

this guy is joking people. dont take him seriously

[@_coreymartin]

@xter34 hes apparently incredibly shy. honestly.

[@AIMFreeman]

@InfiniteFish1979 I wouldnt sau 100 percent, but generally i have to agree. I prefer older "musical" Tobin. i do not enjoy filtered drill n creep;) or what is that style hes pushing everywhere after supermodified LP which was still great. Permutations is my favourite.

[@Spacey399]

I want Your Job!

[@MaxRideWizardLord]

FUCKING RESPECT THE AMON TOBIN AND THE FOUR TON MANTIS!!!!!!!!!! And, Infamous isn't that bad, also. ;3

[@Benata]

@xter34 The whole video is a disappointment without Amon Tobin. He should have all the credits. He told them what to do.

[@mattehISme]

if only i had money to buy a ps3

[@nslaughterful]

Can I dislike this again? The title says Amon Tobin and his name is only mentioned once in the whole thing. I'm not even sure if he did any work from this or if the creators just wanted him to work on it. Change the title.

[@kpgpwi64]

you aren't allowed to see him lol

[@flarez4157]

yeah great work but i was expecting A.T. to speak about it not these guys..

[@ultravidz]

oooooooOoooOo

[@guillz]

the software is called Pro Tools and its expensive as f ck!

[@Ski_Fails_Galore]

... need I say more : 1:31

[@Circacx203]

melanie ist wirklich toll

[@cannedsandwich8156]

@xter34 1:32

[@xter34]

why the fuck isn't amon in the video?
