Interview: Amulets

Amulets, the solo project of Portland based audio and visual artist Randall Taylor, joined KGNU’s Indra Raj to talk about his long evolving approach to ambient and experimental music. Taylor discusses his musical roots in bands and solo projects, the evolution of Amulets, and his distinctive use of handmade cassette tape loops and live processed guitar. He also reflects on documenting his process online, the collaborative nature of his current tour with Midwife, and how ambient and experimental music has grown over the past decade. Amulets performs at a KGNU Presents show at the Chautauqua Community House on Tuesday, February 10th with Midwife and Sun Swept. (Recorded 2/5/2026)
