His music is great (Long Stories, Out From Out Where, Supermodified)
The website experience is neat.
This is the second musician I see making an ambitious computer project.
The other being that game Neil Cicierega made.
I jokingly pick Slowly by Amon Tobin to be the soundtrack for when they do the lethal injection thing to me.
His more recent stuff is interesting as well.
I love Long Stories, made on a broken Omnichord (see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38563627 )
I don't know about you all but I miss the websites of 2007. There was so much variation and unbridled creativity. I remembered stumbling upon this page in 2007 while looking up Amon Tobin's soundtrack to Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. I can't remember the last time I saw a musician launch such a beautiful interactive site for their album release. And here it is in 2024, lovingly preserved and still functional on Intern…
Amon Tobin on HN? Wow His music is great (Long Stories, Out From Out Where, Supermodified) The website experience is neat. This is the second musician I see making an ambitious computer project.

His stuff with the London Symphony Orchestra is bonkers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggl_pWkbEoc).
All of his recent stuff isn't quite my cup of tea, but that's just the nostalgia factor speaking. I guess anyone who discovers a musician during one of their eras may not necessarily like their other eras...which is more of a condemnation of the listener, rather than the musician, perhaps :)

He also did the soundtrack for one of the Tom Clancy games (Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory). While I’ve never played the game, I really enjoyed the music.
Old Amon Tobin was just the best. At the end of the day, Slowly, Journeyman...some of the best music I have ever heard.
