Echoes Podcast: Amon Tobin Lost Interview

Amon Tobin's psychedelic Dreams: The Echoes Podcast

In the Echoes Podcast I have a lost interview when I talk to the bands Figueroa, Two Fingers and Only Child Tyrant. The only thing is, those aren’t bands, but the various recording personas of Amon Tobin, the electronic composer who is pretty eclectic under his own name. His music has evolved, but at the core, he’s still doing what he did when he started as Cujo in 1996.

Amon Tobin: I’ll take something that’s an established form, and I’ll remove it from its understood context. And I’ll put it in an electronic world and see what happens.

Tobin specializes in a modern version of musique concrete, but he also has a project as Figueroa that is purely psychedelic. So much that you might think you’ve traveled to San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium circa 1968.

We ran this interview on the Echoes broadcast in September of 2020, but for some reason, it did not make it into the Podcast. I was tipped to this when I read a nice retrospective piece in Tom Moon’s Echolocator Substack Blog. I thought, I should send Tom a link to the podcast, he’d probably enjoy it. Only to discover it never made it into the podcast. I do not know why. But today, I’m rectifying that. So get ready for a deep dive into Amon Tobin talking about his music in the Echoes Podcast.
