Amon Tobin MUTEK 2011 HD

One of the finest A/V shows out there supporting a head-melting album, ISAM. This was easily the most impressive show I've seen. The sound was teeth-achingly present, the bass was incredibly rich and physical, and it all came together for me for this segment. It's unbelievable how projection has developed for this kind of application. There, it seems, no more limits.

After this point in the show, it seemed they began to fold back the visuals already used into the mix - remixing them I guess....which I have to say was a tad disappointing. I'm sure it's exceptionally expensive to produce this stuff, but if you go to ALLL this work to break ground and blow minds, I figure you might as well do it to the very end. My only other gripe (if you can call it that), was that after about an hour or so I started feeling like it was a VJ going nuts with Grand Arkos VJ - in that it started to be very random and unordered. The first hour had a tremendous impact in terms of flow and a hint of narrative that tied nicely to the music.




That said - Amon Tobin can do no wrong in my view..this was a jaw-dropping experience to be sure.

I think that the impressive thing about these projections is the surface mapping - all those cubes pointed on edge toward the projector creates surfaces that aren't flat, and the projecting technology has them mapped so accurately that they become flat if they want it to look flat, or they can use the shapes and depths at will... all with pinpoint accuracy.

See you there! I hope someone doesn't jump up onstage like a few people did in 2009 as the clock changed from 11:59pm June 30th to 12:00am July 1st. Best intro to Canada Day. 'Amon Tobin Dance Party' is a short vid of that happening haha.

i need to get my hands on these mixes he has in this performance, and yes some tickets too but that seems to be quite impossible for me now,

but yea - the album is a tiny bit hard to listen to - still great, but i hear the music rearranged in some fantastic ways on these live videos

important : many of you may be interested with the full-length editing of the show (with a better sound), so I recommend browsing my files or going directly to my channel, you'll find it there !

@Neurozumim actually if you look at some of the other videos you'll see why its so amazing. The amount of convolution that had to be calculated for this is ridiculous... check out youtube co m/watch?v=vVR8lZl8BRY to see why its so amazing

@Neurozumim Maybe not a brand new concept but the execution is simply incredible
