Projects include Converse, Emilie Simon, Artoyz, and Kidrobot. Now based in New York, both have joined together in love and as a talented duo sharing their unique creative styles with the rest of the world. Heavily influenced by contrast, Japanese art and culture, much of their work is seen on urban canvases. But that fact is rapidly changing as their art is increasingly finding its way onto the walls in galleries on three continents.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" height="346" src="http://media.filterfoundry.com/blog/ks1.jpg" width="620" /></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" height="348" src="http://media.filterfoundry.com/blog/ks2.jpg" width="620" /></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" height="348" src="http://media.filterfoundry.com/blog/ks3.jpg" width="620" /></p>

<p> </p> <p>Trailer for Amon Tobin's all new, highly ambitious, breathtaking 'ISAM' live show. Tobin will be stepping away from previous DJ centric performances, and instead will be providing a large scale live audio/visual experience to select cities around the world. Designed in conjunction with Blasthaus, VSquared Labs, Vita Motus Design, Leviathan and others.</p> <p>It’s hard to believe but this year marks <a href="http://www.spinner.com/tag/AmonTobin/">Amon Tobin</a>‘s debut at Montreal’s MUTEK Festival, now in its 12th year. Even so, Tobin is no stranger to the Canadian city, having lived there while producing several of his albums for the celebrated electronic label Ninja Tune. It’s only fitting then that the renowned Brazilian-born DJ and producer would select his former stomping ground for the world premiere of his new live show.</p> <p><img alt="" height="339" src="http://media.filterfoundry.com/cubes.jpg" style="border: 0;" width="622" /></p> <p>The larger-than-life live show promises to highlight his latest album, ‘ISAM,’ with a full array of visuals displayed on a large multi-dimensional 3-D art installation surrounding Tobin, enveloping both him and the audience in a “beyond 3-D” experience.</p> <p>“With ‘ISAM’ there are very few tracks you could play on a dance floor and get away with it,” Tobin tells Spinner. “They’re all synthesized or multi-sampled instruments [on the album] that have been adapted to make something that is imagined. I even transformed my own voice to make different characters, I’ve got a younger girl for one track and an older lady for another.</p>
