Todd Tobias: Ammon and Goam

Ohio based experimentalist Todd Tobias wrote the soundtrack for an imaginary dystopian Sci-Fi movie, Ammon and Goam, wherein a a man and a half-human are trying to survive on a planet where only a few scattered places are still inhabited. They happen upon an abandoned ship, try to decipher the meaning of pictures in a canyon and are stranded in the doldrums.

Tobias' capability to tell stories without words, but using softly percolating noises, drones and sculptured soundscapes, makes it easy to picture the duo making their way through hostile environments. Some movies don't need to be actually made - it's all there in the soundtrack.

Ammon and Goam is released via Tiny Room Records (CD, digital).
