Summary Brazilian electronic artist and music producer Amon Tobin discusses the role that Cubase plays in his music production and his experiments with synthesis. Having produced several albums of sampling and re-contextualizing sounds, Amon moved into recording sound, experimenting with field recording and synthesizing those recordings. He is now focused more on familiar sounds like the Mellotron, simple wave forms and imperfections in sound. Cubase is a DAW that plays a big role in Amon's sound designs because he needs something that is transparent, quickly getting his expression out to see if ideas work. Then he has the option of using the levels of depth in Cubase or using its advanced MIDI features to explore them. Amon's new label Nomark is the home to recordings under his own name, aliases Figueroa, Stone Giants, and Paperboy, and associated projects like Only Child Tyrant and Two Fingers.
