amon tobin was born in brazil. maybe it's in the blood, or maybe
they enforce a strict batucada regime in the nursery, but despite
being every bit the mild-mannered englishman resident in a seaside
town ,( now spending an extended sojourn in montreal), amon has
got that rhythm-thing seeping out of his every pore. combine this
with his love of the outer limits of jazz and an unhealthy
obsession with the creation of noise and the results are
spectacular. amon first recorded as cujo for ninebar records,
culminating in his debut album, "adventures in foam". ninja heard
an early 12" and began speaking to him - the result was 1997Æs
classic, "bricolage". described as being like "stuffing lionel
hampton, art blakey and mingus into a compression chamber..."
(rough guide to drum & bass), the album was an international
success. it was followed up by the darker but no less rhythmically
stunning "permutation". people began comparing amon to ennio
morricone, artists as diverse as david byrne and cannibal corpse
went out of their way to praise him and tobin found himself
playing sold out shows at the montreal jazz festival, the knitting
factory in new york and the coachella festival. in fact, so
successful was amon in north america that "permutation" was the
best selling album of 98 for the renowned other music store in
nyc, outselling the likes of bjork, massive attack and air. amonÆs
fourth album, supermodified, was his most challenging yet, in some
ways a departure, in others a development of everything that had
gone before. the record is an experiment in sound - bass sounds
made from motorbikes and tubas, breaks made from spitting and
farting. and "all breaks featured are completely fresh," amon
stated, "sampled from source like fucking evian. even though no
one really cares apart from sad bastards like me." in amon tobin
continued his adventures with the breakbeat with out from out
where, his fourth album. darker, more complex, even more
rhythmically driving and intense than before, this huge record
cemented tobin's reputation as one of the most innovative and
important names in music today.
on out from out where's first single, verbal, tobin has the
mysterious mc decimal r. rapping throughout. well, sort of. the
vocal is spliced together from fragmented syllables, so the lyric
is incomprehensible: language reduced to sound. "there isn't any
finished, completed word in the whole rap," tobin says, with a
hint of pride. "i got really into using vocals as a percussion
instrument, and programming it the same way i would do breaks."
