Today I am joined by Randall Taylor who makes music under the name Amulets. Taylor’s music sits at the edge of a few genres, ambient, drone, post rock, and noise, but what interests me most about Amulets is his process. Taylor repurposes old cassettes and tape players, tinkering with their circuitry and using them to create haunting looping drones. He also details this process extensively on his YouTube and Instagram pages, where he posts short improvisations on his manipulated gear. i wanted to talk to Taylor about how he developed this style of music making, his transparency about his work on social media, and his terrific new record Blooming, out on The Flenser on April 2nd.
