Reader Kilian Vidourek shared this “side B” to his recent documentary about Portland ambient musician Amulets, Tape Wizard.
“I just released a longer, sequel of sorts of footage I never used and thought I’d share,” notes Vidourek. “Hope y’all enjoy!”
Amulets is a project of Portland audio + visual artist Randall Taylor. Taylor is part of a new generation of musicians exploring the artifacts and lo fi sounds of cassette audio processing and tape loops.
side B follows Taylor in October of 2019, leading up to the release of his first full-length physical album.

I can admire the guy plenty, just from remembering my old tape snarls that made a Maxell mushroom cloud sprout from the deck like a creaky Mellotron going into the bog. It makes me love flash drives even more. 😀
yeah, the magnetic emulsion rubbed off my old masters first play after decade of storage. oh well, there’s goes the memories of my youth.
