The show has been met with international acclaim, with Resident Advisor describing its revolutionary effect thusly: "‘ISAM’ live has raised the bar, and with the kind of attention it’s gained, what remains to be seen is how other artists will follow in its footsteps." · Amon's live show has amassed three million hits on YouTube and counting, plus a crowd that has included everyone from Brian Eno to Deadmaus, Keith Flint to Public Enemy, Trent Reznor to Muse. · Amon is headlining Coachella with ‘ISAM’ live and then touring the show at world class venues such as Sonar Festival, Future Everything Festival, Brixton 02 Academy and Sydney Opera House, amongst many others · Amon Tobin’s music has been used in association with the following productions and brands: ‘Sin City’, BMW, ‘Spider- Man’, ‘The Matrix’, ‘The Italian Job’, ‘25th Hour’, Toyota and Lexus. · He has provided full scores for the following productions: ‘Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory’ (videogame), ‘Infamous’ (videogame), ‘Taxidermia’ (feature film directed by Gyorgy Palfi), ‘Pina’ (feature film by Wim Wenders) and ‘The Gift’ (short) by Carl Rinsch. · Amon has had his tracks interpreted and performed by the London Metropolitan Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. · Amon’s music is a record of uncharacteristic depth and richness (intellectual, emotional and aural), one which sets your synapses crackling with dread and beauty, reminiscence and speculation, or just the pure apprehension of sound. · "How does that cat do it?!" - Flying Lotus; "Amon is truly unique, one of the all time brightest stars in the electronic world" - Mike Patton; "Amon’s sense of orchestration is superb. Like Duke Ellington, Gil Evans, and Maurice Ravel before him his palette is wide and refreshing" - David Harrington (Kronos Quartet)
