Carl Rinsch is a visionary filmmaker and member of Ridley Scott's RSA team, currently on board with Universal to direct 47 Ronin and a remake of the cult classic Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Rinsch directed a short film called The Gift (watch the film in HD here) as part of Philips' 'Parallel Lines' campaign, and asked Amon Tobin to compose the score, setting the tone for this dystopian tale.
Splinter Cell: Conviction, the much-anticipated next chapter in the Sam Fisher saga, has finally hit store shelves.
As a tribute to the classic score for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Amon Tobin was invited back to score the final level of SC:C. In addition, Amon scored the music for the main menu as well as for some key exhilarating cinematics at different points in the game.
There are a few versions of different Amon-composed tracks, so on the 'Featured Tracks' playlist we've shared those specifically scored for key scenes.
Ableton users, consider yourselves sorted.
You can now grab the specially-crafted 'Fine Objects' sample set ready to drop into Ableton, and immediately get busy chopping and freaking the field recordings that built the song.
Head on over to www.eskamon.com for a FREE Ableton Sample Pack download, and then check out the tutorial video hosted by IllGates for some inspiration.
'Fine Objects' is the fruit of an utterly devastating collaboration between Amon Tobin and talented up-and-comer Eskmo (Warp, Planet Mu) under the name Eskamon. Sonic exploration and manipulated field recordings form the backbone of this alien bass monster. Disparate pieces of sound woven together from broken harps, parking garage elevators, everyday soundscapes and droning tones from discarded pianos are refined to set the imagination ablaze. It's quite unlike anything you've ever heard before.
Amon's been brought in to contribute music for the climactic scenes of the next installment of the Splinter Cell game series. Check back soon for more info, previews and an official release schedule!
Amon has recently completed a remix for production futurists Noisia. Amon rarely does remixes but made an exception for their track Machine Gun set to be released March 8th, 2010. The single also features remixes by Spor and 16bit.
Amon also collaborated with Noisia on the track 'Sunhammer' which caused a stir on Amon's last tour

Amon is hunkered down in his studio deep in the redwoods of Northern Californian and has begun work on a new album. In addition to researching and developing new production tools and techniques of his own, he's ensconced himself in a whole new array of gadgetry from the past and the future that will help continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with sound and music.
Amon has collaborated on a new track with this month's featured artist Eskmo. It was all made with field recordings which will also be available as a sample pack in the next couple of months.
Keep your eyes peeled here for more info! The new Eskmo track - "Sister, you Have Got To Listen" is available for FREE exclusively at AmonTobin.com - download the track here!
