Amon Tobin ISAM Live at Sydney Opera House

[@curly_]

Isam was the Start of a totaly new generation of Stagedesigns and Live Shows, without a doubt one of the most Important shows in the 2000s.

[@gnuintown]

2010s, right? Two thousand and teens, however the hell you're meant to say it 🙂🙃 I was at this Sydney show. Left an indelible imprint on me 😍

[@hamdelsun68]

Frank Zappa would be proud.

[@axo0ne]

The french producer/DJ Etienne de Crecy did something a bit similar 4 years before ISAM kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKvMnWuJbNmIm7s

[@gnuintown]

@@Davenci_T1st Unfortunately you're about eight years too late! 😐 June 2012, I think it was. Sadly, the set has since been retired. www.vice.com/en/article/eza97m/amon-tobins-iisami-live-show-comes-to-an-end

[@dnbsoldier7259]

Went to see this show by myself in Denver. I couldn't' get anyone to go with me (no one I knew was aware of Amon's music). I didn't do any drugs, just had a few drinks. The show blew me away. Absolutely fantastic.

So you did take drugs alcohol is a very powerful drug

MOST OF THESE DENVER CATS ARE JUST POSERS THAT WANT TO COPY THE CALIFORNIA BAY AREA DUBSTEP FASHION DONT GET IT TWISTED. WE WAS GROWING THE PACKS HERE FIRST AND WE HAD THE MUSIC WAY BEFORE THEY WERE EVER HIP. TRUSTAFARIANS LOL, good on you for going, Denver is still chill but some of those kids are fucking posers with trust funds.

[@nd.b77]

I like the part most where the video effects are so amazing and in sync with every beat of the freaky music.

[@beenmicrophone5817]

ha lol

[@GrimmHades]

I’ve wanted to see this in person at a show for years

[@foodandart5808]

Many of us do.

[@NickHunter]

Saw it live 3 times in London :-) HMV forum, Camden Roundhouse and Brixton Academy, melted my brain

[@greenderp]

lol a friend took me to a show in austin, i had no idea what to expect. He just said to make sure i was on acid haha.

[@NickHunter]

@@greenderp Yeah for years Tobin had been like "fuck the visuals it's all about the sound system" so when we heard he was doing something with both we went along. We had literally no idea what to expect. Everyone game out of the gig and were stood around outside just marvelling at what they'd seen. Was one of the best nights out of my life

[@ukbu]

Isam LiVE was so mindblowing !! seeing at Ancienne Belgique and it was the best show of my life, the sound was incredible , like waves of stone in body , speechless

[@jamescorbett4665]

That I wasn't there to see this is one of the greatest regrets of my life..

[@alblondie]

I saw it in London, blew me away, never to be forgotten

[@SanNoboruWatanabe]

Saw this in Holland at Lowlands. Blew my head straight off my body. Still to this day it is one of the most unique experiences I have ever been a part of.

[@alblondie]

London for me same experience, 👌

[@paperoverflow]

Saw them in Amsterdam. I will never forget that show!

[@TomatoSauceGaming626]

For anyone wondering, the song starting at 1:06:50 is Sarah on a Worm by the Sea Nymphs

[@ThePompeya777]

his mind, that sound ... apocaliptyc dreams, indescriptible sounds ... a voyage 👁 Make me peacefull, when i felt lost!! Thanks Mr Amon... For all your concept

[@CodeNameV13]

His Buchla set was just as legendary as this show.

[@liquidbrother]

Isam Is The Best Show Ever !

[@kyle_advance]

I watch this often. It is very therapeutic. Thank you Amon Tobin. You are a genius. I am a fan for life.

[@dpixvid]

It was amazing! Touch Designer... on fire

[@HotSneks]

Wtf the fact that he played his remix of Noisia's Machine Gun here is EPIC

[@chaplain900]

Is it possible that there will be an ISAM show in the future again (preferably in Europe)? I'd really love to see this live, absolutely astonishing.

[@ShaderX]

Sadly, no chance. Can't wait to see Amon in Europe though.

[@ShaderX]

BTW I saw ISAM live and it was jaw dropping experience. People were crying, seriously

[@braythirteen]

ISAM has inspired me in so many ways. Not just with soundscape but visuals, timing, scale, storytelling. Plus so much more. It is pure genius!

[@trigiulio]

One of the best combo visual+music I have ever seen (London, I think it was 2012??)

[@alblondie]

Yea I was at 1 of the London shows, mind blowing

[@bozdra]

i need to feel this live before i die

[@richard1849]

I was lucky enough o catch this 3 times actually in NYC Btwn 1 and 2.0. I can confirm live is an entirely new level, especially in surround, whoa.. Brought my stuck up gf 3rd time and literally freaked out and called her mom in Europe at like 5 am to tell her mom about it lol.

[@neilthomas5755]

This Never gets old!

[@dibbletiki6077]

This was by far the greatest show I have ever been to. Only topped by the ISAM 2.0 tour. Truly this was the beginning of a lot of the big visual audio shows we see today in electronic music culture. Amon Tobin showed everyone the groundwork on how to put on a truly epic music journey that we still see today.

[@MrBerard]

I think the Chemical Brothers might have something to say about that...

[@divinefallfromgrace]

Or Aphex Twin? 🙂

[@denisdeloeil1026]

Or Daft Punk...

[@johnk7267]

This is incredible!

[@jamesrudland183]

I was fortunate enough to see Amon in Melbourne for the live recording of Solid Steele. Isam would have been mind blowing.

[@ELAPSE.]

Totally hypnotic.

[@deanschuettpelz7627]

saw ISAM show in melbourne. Best audio/visual experience i've ever seen!

[@LunovaLabs]

I had forgotten how special this is. I saw it live in Atlanta. so fantastic!

[@chris7brook]

But Beethoven will be relevant and revered a thousand years from now this will not I don't hear any melody or anything that's just spaced out MDMA Rock it's all right I'm glad you enjoy it.

[@thetiltedcat6167]

@@chris7brook OK, dismiss a thousand other factors that go into making great music. What a nice way to contribute to a conversation by limiting it to one simplification.

[@garrettkrahn1828]

if you dig Amon Tobin, I recommend checking out Tipper's music. Might hit a similar spot for you.

[@jonstewart464]

I agree entirely. I love Beethoven and Mahler and I think this follows in the same tradition. You keep the audience with you by giving them something repetitive and familiar to hang on to, and then make it as wild as your imagination and technology allow, expressing things about the human condition that can't be said with words. It's a fucking masterpiece!

In the massive boxset possibly/probably. It's got the ISAM Live version of Horsefish on for sure. www.discogs.com/Amon-Tobin-Amon-Tobin/master/438527

[@shthouserat]

@@SamHutchinsonBass yeah i've got that and it's pretty good quality, but was hoping he'd done a studio recording of it.

[@AnthonyLavado]

It does exist. It was an exclusive download from the ISAM era website. You'll know when you've got the right one when the album artwork is a seahorse skeleton. I should know, I have it ;-) Edit- looks like it was also a proper digital download at some point - www.discogs.com/Amon-Tobin-Horsefish-Live-Mix/release/1367888

The very last one? Horsefish (Live Mix).

New I think. The version I saw on here 6 or 7 years ago wasn't from Sydney.

not the same approach. Except for the Two Fingers album, he don't use sample since 2002.
