AMULET OF TEARS
explorations in ambient since 2020
PREMIERE: NEW VANITY PRODUCTIONS VIDEO
Amulet of Tears joins forces with Vanity Productions to unveil the premiere of ‘Sunblind 69’, a striking visual companion to the track taken from An Eternity Still, out now on Polymorphism Records.
Directed with an intimate, slow-burning intensity, the video mirrors the album’s central theme of closure—capturing the emotional tension between nostalgia and transformation. Light bleeds into shadow as fading memories dissolve into abstraction, suggesting the quiet violence of letting go. It’s a space where tenderness and finality coexist, evoking the ache of what’s left behind and the quiet thrill of what’s still to come.

AMULET 059: NATAS KUNAS
Held in seams of remnants and decay, looped in tremors of glacial drones. Warmth - faded by the slowly setting sun - dissolving in a ritual of blending fragments & colliding as a whole, in tones, where absence and presence converge as tracing contours of vanishing gestures.
Natas Kunas is a Lithuanian composer and artist, primarily creating experimental ambient and drone music, film and theatre soundtracks. Through dense textures and timbre-based atmospheres the artist explores sound plasticity and radical dynamics, reflecting on the themes of geologic time, sonic environments, pollution. He will release his debut album on Amulet of Tears on May 8th.
AMULET 058: ANASTASÏA
A slow current, weightless, mist settling over an unmapped field, drifts within, folding into the air, where it has never been known - a melody that fades into a hum and creates stillness in its wake.
Anastasïa, formerly known by his alias Anasisana, is a Tunisian artist blending ambient, noise, and experimental music, combining intense emotional waves with tense electronics. Additionally, the Buried Alive project, focusing on presenting a raw, immersive experience - an interplay of agony, rapture, and sensitivity with a backdrop of contemplative introspection.

AMULET 057: ADAM BADÍ DONOVAL
A deliquesce afterimage forming through slow collisions - trembling erosion, weightlessness, and substantiality, dissolving into granular ripples. Fragmented, porous sequences wrapped together in mellow stasis.
Adam Badí Donoval is a Slovakia-based sound artist, curator, and mastering engineer whose practice unites the spaces between composing his own music and moulding the sound dimensions of other artists. Adam has nurtured a label - Warm Winters Ltd, that serves as a home for exploratory music. Beyond all that, he extends into performance, writing, education, and curatorial projects. A dynamic dialogue - linking sound, memory, and the environments they inhabit.
PRE-ORDER TEARS023
Aloft in the quiet rhythm of luminaries, through the metaphysical: echoes waltz beneath the currents and between darkened domes. A weightless rhythm carried slow, where horizon loosens its hold upon the threshold for it is out of reach.
Based in Texas, USA, Field Designer is the creative force behind Language Instinct & Glacial Anatomy. Ventures across the essence of tension-elements like: the raw, unpredictable nature of distortion within serenity and intensity, that is both expansive and constrained.
AMULET 056: BLEAR MOON
German-based electronic ambient music producer and visual artist - Blear Moon, presenting the mix with heavy low-frequency presence: floating in the fog, cloaked beneath a lowland - hazy & encompassing, as intermittent flashes of distant. Echoes ripple outward, as they linger and elongate in the haze, punctuating the tremulous weight.

The breath of ages
Within the collapsed walls

Ancient stones & torns
The ruins of history
Stoneless, Folded
Unyielding marbles
Past firmly - time has molded

ORDER 'BEFORE WE MELT INTO THE SEA'
Roadmaps on the palms
Braided, fold over
Where the shore meets the ebbing sea
Forever touching, forever adrift
Whispers of the history fade
Where the sea drapes waning waves
Only to retrace echoing trails
Abiding in ceaseless rims
Rooted in the fertile soil of hauntology, Amulet of Tears presents: 'Before We Melt into the Sea' - chimerical shreds of memoir. Foraying intervals coiled in visceral resonance, which appear as abyssal, ancestral echoes of elusive moments, where the past unfolds in attendance, like a vapor that forbids to fade.
Phantoms colliding to forge ahead for what’s to come or to drag us back into the shades of what we once were - enshadowed by imprints of past, present, and future, overlapped upon one another.

NEW RADIO SHOW EPISODE

NEW RELEASE OUT NOW
Amulet of Tears is proud to present TEARS020, a new album by Jonas Raudonius - 'Imaginary Freedom'.
Across centuries, long gone by
Veils of soul, that may rise
Fables untold, of grandeur
Chessboard ‘neath, whereabouts
Ancient plea of foals & moulds
Traces retching, yet to hold
Knights - lore - forever year
Endless span in empty bam.
Self-absorbed shadows stretch in their peeled skin,
wrapped in the habitude of shred chains. Elusive crate in the constant shelling for intrinsic freedom, whilst devouring figures blind a grander field in the stir - Inertia, where compulsion dispels its thorny strands - A lone roar in a fenceless herd.
Jonas Raudonius is Lithuania based electronic music composer and Black Wave events and podcasts series curator. The immensely cinematic sound of 'Imaginary Freedom', developed from creating soundtracks for various theatre performances and movies, syncs together the lines between Moog Modular System, live instruments, field recordings - coalescing together organic and electronic frequencies.

AMULET #50: INTERNAZIONALE!
Bringing forth the long-awaited Internazionale with its unwavering nature of caressing amidst delicate nostalgia & serene hues of reminiscence. Originating from Denmark, Mikkel Valentin Dunkerley evokes eloquent canvas of 'yesteryears' with collaborations across Posh Isolation and Janushoved.
Not remembering, but replaying it all - hushed undertones of drab sunrise turning into dazzling dawns. Passing breeze comes alive anew - let is sing along, as the echoes of relics resound - where the world seems to wind down.
