AMULETS
США
Добавлен 12 ноя 2013
Amulets is the solo project of Portland-based audio + 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.

Made this video when I first got the Chase Bliss Habit and left it on unlisted for over a year. Decided it was worth sharing again, hope you all enjoy this sonic experiment.
AMBIENT METAL GUITAR | VERSO INSTRUMENTS
Просмотров 15 тыс.2 года назад
For the last year I have been quietly following a guitar company based out of Germany called Verso. They stuck out to me because of their unusual and innovative approach to guitar - mainly that the whole body is one sheet of bent metal! I started talking to the owner and we admitted to being mutual fans of each others work. Over the holidays they sent me one of their guitars to try out and I ha...
TWENTY FORTY NINE (TAPE LOOP & SP-202)
Просмотров 14 тыс.2 года назад
I have been watching a lot of sci fi lately and dreaming of scoring a full length film. Using that as inspiration, I had fun with this minimal combo of a tape loop loop drone and SP-202 loaded with lofi guitar samples. Cheers to the dystopian future!

KALIMBA CHAOS | EVENTIDE ULTRATAP, OP-1, & KALIMBA
Просмотров 10 тыс.2 года назад
I recently received the Ultratap delay from Eventide and this beautiful 17 key kalimba from Glarry Music. I knew the two would be powerful combination but I didn't realize how wild it would get! For this experiment I have a contact mic connected to the kalimba running though the ultratap, while the op-1 plays a sequenced bass and synth harmony. Hope you enjoy the chaos and if you're interested ...

SOU'WESTER SOUNDS - ARTIST RESIDENCY
Просмотров 6 тыс.2 года назад
In May I was accepted into the Sou'wester Artist Residency program and got to enjoy a week of music making in one of their seaside vintage trailers. I used this time to practice, record, explore new sounds, and start my new record for the Flenser. I also found some time to record this little ambient guitar improv for you all to enjoy. I'm feeling extremely grateful and honored to have had this ...

EXCITING AMULETS ADJACENT NEWS! Me and my good friend Eric Nyffeler (graphic designer who did the album art for Blooming) have started a new band! We’ve spent the last two long years experimenting, learning, forgetting, re-learning, and forgetting again are finally ready to share a few new songs with you. This band is obviously different from Amulets, but for me it's a refreshing new creative e...
DISTORTED LOOPS (4 TRACK, OP-1, REVERB X)
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
This is my latest sonic experiment - running tape loops through the Tascam 4 track and Rainger Reverb X. Pushing the analog tape levels into the reverb and distortion of the Reverb X pedal makes for some lovely post-apocalyptic crunch, while the OP-1 plays a randomized sequenced bassline throughout the piece. Check out the Reverb X for yourself: reverb.grsm.io/reverb-x Learn more about tape loo...
VOLTAGE FLOW MODULAR SYNTH RESIDENCY (TAPE LOOP, OP-1, MODULAR)
Просмотров 4 тыс.3 года назад
I was recently contacted by Voltage Flow, a local modular synth residency program, and asked if I wanted to be an artist in residence for a week. I was curious exactly what this meant and met with Edgar of Voltage Flow, whose goal was to educate and provide access to a full modular system to get hands on experience into the deep world of modular synthesis. Based on our conversation, Voltage Flo...
SADRDAY SESSIONS PRESENTS "MOUNTAINS PAST" (LIVE HOME STUDIO PERFORMANCE)
Просмотров 4,9 тыс.3 года назад
Back in the summer of 2019, Sadrday reached out to me and told me about their project driving across the country and filming musicians in their home studios. I loved the idea and invited them into my home for a personal performance and intimate view of my space. A lot has happened since then, including a move to a totally different space, but it's interesting to reflect on pre-pandemic life...h...

THE LONE DRAINGER | TAPE LOOP & RAINGER FX
Просмотров 7 тыс.3 года назад
Rainger FX was kind enough to send over their Drone Rainger pedal which is probably one of the most interesting pedals I have seen in a while. This pedal combines digital delay with 2 tunable oscillator drones and for this video I am running the tape loop through the delay, while playing the drones like a glissando bassline. reverb.grsm.io/dronerainger Learn more about tape looping, download al...
AMULETS - COLLAPSE IN MEMORY (ROADBURN REDUX FESTIVAL PERFORMANCE)

I have been a big fan of the Roadburn Festival for years, always dreaming that one day I would be able to go the Netherlands to see some of my favorite bands live. I never thought that instead of going that I would be asked to PLAY the festival virtually, which is what exactly happened this year for Roadburn Redux! For Roadburn Redux I was asked to premiere a new video, so I got busy thinking o...

OUTATIME (TAPE LOOP, RADICAL DELAY, DELOREAN)
This is like some sort weird alien autopsy of a cassette tape.
Nice!❤
Awesome. <3
Love your art man. Always an inspiration to get back at it making ambient music in spite of my crazy busy life.
Komplett geil ❤
Nice❤
It was great to open for you in Omaha bro!
So, is it best to record the tape before or after turning it into a loop?
Amulets just released a beautiful new single called, "SWELL" on all platforms on April 19th! Just thought everyone should know and go check it out :)
Gives a whole new meaning to the idea of "writing" music.
what kind of equipment did you use to tape record this loops? thanks in advance. Good vid
Can anyone point me in direction how to amplify and set all this up , very basics and how it all goes to speakers and computer please
These techniques are very inspiring
How do you power the whole case?
Are you sending the walkman directly into clouds? or are you boosting the level somehow
🌹
Something weird happens where the tape will play for a second and then the player will just shut off. The deck will still be on, it just will stop. It’s not like the tape is stopping it because if I press start again then it plays for another few seconds and the cycle repeats. Why does that happen and how can I fix it?
😊
Does anybody know if this specific track on this video is on his bandcamp page if it is is it under a different name?
❤
SWEET Composition !!! Missed ya Buddy !!
when i cut a piece of the tape to put it in the casette it curls up and makes it impossible for me to allign it properly.. i tried many different ways and i don't understand why thats happening to me.
Amazing performance _ your track eons is so beautiful words cant describe the emotional rush of dopamine and serotonin blasted into my subconscious as i travel through eons of time into the aether
These sounds have resonated within me. Thank you sincerely, and congratulations on the wonderful video.
a good way to recycle my tapes that got fried in one spot
Oh this is amazing! Would you mind explaining a bit how that tape thing was made/works? I would love to do some live looping like that
Lost in the solar system with this one
Please make a video about mixing ambient tape loops. Eq, Luft etc🙏
should I be able to turn the tape manually with a pencil? I've tried this a few times today and I can't seem to get the tension right, either its too loose to spin or too much tension and my tape player stops. the tape in your example seems loose compared to my attempts. thanks in advance :)
This would be better, if only you’d explain what it is that you are doing exactly, with each individual piece of gear. And I might be wrong but, it seems to me like, whatever it is that you are doing with the Phrase Sampler, it’s being completely drowned out, by the infernally -incessant and noisy keyboard. From the title of this video, I would think that you would have wanted to make the Riff-O-Matic stand out.
Genius among us.
How long are each of the loops?
Chance discovery. Ace!. Sub…
need a 10 h loop of this
This literally cleared my brain. Thanks
I follow you!
Hi Randall 👋 what's the name of the song at the end ? Maybe an improvisation idk, cheers from Canada 😁✌️❤️
Vinyl release when? I will buy!
so beautiful... :) <3
Tres Beautiful... thanks mate!
Such amazing timbrality & texture. It's like if Shlohmo's "The End" was released on Heaven Inc. instead! 🔥🫠
Is there a way to record things like this into a song through a digital multitrack or run it through a 4 track then into the digital recorder?
Hey man, missed you for real. You were the sole reason I went out and got a TE Pocket Operator in like 2019(?), my interest for building my own synths and tinkering with electronics has exploded since then. Thanks, like genuinely thanks.
New Amulets video, gonna be a good day. 🎉
Some beautiful plings
Does it get lower-fi than this? Pure bliss here.
You are the reason why I bought my Tascam. Glad to see a new video 🥰
Beautiful ! That ending 😍
Glad to see (and hear!) you back!
Really nice to have you back! Great sounds, I love your preset on my chase bliss generation loss mark 2. Hopefully you put out more videos soon, Cheers!
