Amulets
Rem(a)inders
Amulets is the solo project of Portland-based audio and visual artist Randall Taylor. Amulets employs handmade cassette tape loops and live processed guitar loops to create live, lush soundscapes and immersive drones. Through the recontextualisation of cassettes, sampling, field recording, and looping, these long-form compositions blur the genres of ambient, drone, noise, and electronic music. Amulets has steadily built a catalog defined by tactile intimacy and patient exploration. Taylor has performed across the U.S at numerous festivals and opened for such acts as Unknown Mortal Orchestra, This Will Destroy You, Covet, Midwife, and Efrim Manuel Manuck (of Godspeed You Black Emperor) to name a few. Taylor was also published in the Kim Bjorn book series "PEDAL CRUSH" as an artist and inspirational creator.
