Amon Tobin

Real Name:Amon Adonai Santos de Araujo Tobin
Profile:Brazilian-born artist Amon Tobin started off under the pseudonym of Cujo in the mid 1990s, then living in the UK. Cujo lived for a series of singles, EPs, and remixes, peaking with the album Adventures In Foam, all originally on NINEBARecords, and appeared first in the US on the label Shadow Records. Around 1997, he switched to going by his own name, signed to the Ninja Tune label, where he has resided ever since.

Amon Tobin's recordings have grown from solo creations to collaborations, to the point of having a variety of artists help weave live instruments into his latest album for the 3rd Splinter Cell game. His live shows, like his music creation, have evolved over time. Starting with the usual variety of knobs and turntables, he's moved on to using Final Scratch Pro in recent tours (circa 2004), and he will be using surround sound equipment in his 2005 tour series.

nanonash, Dec 16, 2003

I saw Amon Tobin Live , and that was the best night Ive ever been to. Amon was very good in that he would put some slower tunes so that you could relax (and collect yourself), then he would put on a tune that would just tear the place to bits!
It was a blend of Insanely fast and complex drumnbass, hardcore, heavy metal, ambient, dub.. you name it.
Therefore one of the most varied and interesting set Ive listened to.

Also , I had a chance to talk to the guy, very nice and humble..

Good work man!, we love you.
