Amon Tobin Releases Meow Wolf Omega Mart Collaboration
“A Living Room” soundtrack available for download and pre-order on Bandcamp
From the moment one enters Meow Wolf Omega Mart to the moment you step through a portal into Factory and the world beyond, you’re surrounded by sound and music. Now, in the first release of an Omega Mart soundtrack collaboration, composer/producer Amon Tobin is releasing his contribution to the exhibition as both a digital collection and an online campaign to produce A Living Room on vinyl via Bandcamp. Audiophiles can finally bring Omega Mart home—and find an aural portal back to the Dramcorp Factory anywhere they choose.
“Meow Wolf commissioned me to score a space as a living soundtrack that would morph over a 20 minute period in a physically interactive environment,” says composer and visionary Amon Tobin. “My intention was to make something sympathetic to the space but also music which could exist independently of it, making any room a living room.”
Tobin, long known as an experimental and production visionary, brought his attention to detail and his insatiable pursuit of invention to a sometimes mischievous and Absurdist approach to sound design and the music he creates.
“We wanted to push the edges of how far we can take audio as a transformative experience in Vegas,” says Corvas Brinkerhoff, Meow Wolf Co-Founder and Exhibition Administration. “Through our musical partnerships with artists like Amon Tobin, Brian Eno and Beach House, among others, we wanted to demonstrate how powerful music can be in an immersive environment — to figure out what the boundaries are, if not break them altogether. It was risky, but as visitors will hear…totally worth it. And now, they can immerse themselves in the sounds of Omega Mart.”
The release is available on Tobin’s Bandcamp page.
Tobin has also released a full video accompaniment under his visual arts alias, Shy1.
