AMULET OF TEARS
explorations in ambient since 2020
NEW AMULET FROM FINLAND
This month’s Amulet of Tears mix comes from Finnish producer Romance Relic with distinguishable palette of ingressive lines & steady scrapes riding over subdued frequencies and distorted sounds.
The nettle fades into a chant, receding to the surface where the sounds gather and dissipate on awakening, on a lingering trail, shrouded in half-lit, surreptitiously out of its grasp.
2 NEW RELEASES ARE OUT NOW
2 new releases are out today and available for streaming on all major platforms:
Apple Music: yolabmi / Undveld
TEARS013: yolabmi - Internal Resurrection
Garnering through and out, at the metaphysical intersection of the world, where harmoniously noisy flocks swiftly pass beyond divine blue air.
Japanese sound artist yolabmi delivered highly experimental musical visionary of modular buzz tones and atmospherics, approaching from harmoniums to high frequency stereo tones. 'Internal Resurrection' utilizes alleviative, yet extremely rousing soundworld captivated by sonic atmospheres.
TEARS014: Undveld - Cloud Atlas
Darksome clouds remaining in the horizon, where radiance and dusk come together, where chores upheave in murky gloom and the sky hollows at gray trees.
Undveld brings further emotional depths, combining both - aerial and hefty forms of mind. 'Cloud Atlas' subtly builds over emotive essences of deeply layered inner tension. The massive dramatic drones and delicately shimmering flares of chords.
yolabmi - Internal Resurrection
Undveld - Cloud Atlas
AMULET 035: PECHBLENDE
The Swedish musician Pechblende produced an emotionally resonant and intellectually compelling mix for Amulet of Tears. Drawn into a world of stark contrasts like a canvas for the mind, where solace and despair are constantly in flux.
The assemblage is cloaked in gritty grains, existing side by side in a delicate balance, each one vying for dominance over the other in the realm of contemplation and introspection, a visceral response to embrace the duality of our existence.
TEARS013 PREMIERE: NEW SINGLE BY YOLABMI
Amulet of Tears is happy to announce TEARS013 - 'Internal Resurrection' by yolabmi. The first single called 'Awareness' premieres right now. The release will be launched alongside TEARS014 by Undveld.
TEARS014 PREMIERE: NEW VIDEO AND SINGLE FROM UNDVELD
Amulet of Tears is proud to present the video for Undveld's single 'Ghastly Ordeal'. The track will feature in the upcoming TEARS014 album titled 'Cloud Atlas'.
NEW AMULET FROM TOKYO: JOE FUJINOKI
Tokyo-based Joe Fujinoki takes on occasional environmental synthesis for Amulet of Tears, molded by exogenous malfunction.
Aberrant oscillating sounds are unclasped in surrounding field, orchestrating the quivering modulations. Sitting round in emitting diodes whilst the moment subjectively dials to the noise of sobering pith - an anchor phrase consisting of coarse sounds unruffled in placid dim.
AMULET 033: EKIN FIL
This month’s Amulet of Tears mix comes from Istanbul-based artist Ekin Fil, which is veiled in reechoing wind, freefalling from misty sky.
The mix embodies acoustic qualities over tangibility of the spatial structure of turbulence - the sound, which unites phenomena, a vast world in yielding shafts, pliant brims with billows - stream of rush-hour merged into a single point.
TEARS011 & TEARS012 ARE OUT NOW
2 new releases by Verge and Arkhad/KAOSMOS are out now. Available in full for streaming on all major platforms and for purchase on Bandcamp.
TEARS011: Verge - Perspective
Where the waters seethe, traced the echoes running along the ridge. Grown into mounds - speck of dust, above and beneath, bent in their tensile way. 'Perspective' resembles graying daze for the tense lows, that holds subdued gentleness. Belfast based musician - Verge has brought his exalted grandeur to aural fluency in the vein of gauzy, filmy rumbles.

TEARS012: Arkhad/KAOSMOS
Accumulation of vulnerability, collective world of avalanches, this ancient land - ascendance, that so often takes on the countenance of being in more than one place. The patterns repeat themselves, adorned in anguish, with a feeling, compelled to vaunt - lustrous arrival in overwhelming lines. 'The Lost Columns' is a deluge of unbroken slashes in Arcadia between Arkhad and KAOSMOS. Arriving at the same place, in the presence of mutual accord.

TEARS012 PREMIERE: ARKHAD - I KNOW A PLACE
Antiquated frames
Of night pool
Shining on steady shore
A mirror for seeing tumultuous sky
Tiles graven as sabulous coast
Ladders rolled into forlorn sheaves
Like bootlegged boose In dark doldrums
Wind between ground and lid
Arcane hovels pervade in dawn.
TEARS012 coming soon...
TEARS011 PREMIERE: VERGE - STANDING WATER
Deluded way in woodlands
Thousands of oaks - grow hushed
Dangling
Fog gobbles stubborn barricades
Empty caves rumble through gaps
Breathing flesh
Burnt banyan
Remember again, who's dreaming?
Who served the night with closed eyes?
TEARS011 coming soon...
AMULET 031: UNDVELD
Undveld composed sounds of vital noise, shored against the wondrous ruins for Amulet of Tears.
Inner visions brought into sharper focus on mysterious efflorescence. The gate opens dizzyingly like a sheaf of wolts, beam of torch - a nonbeing can hold. Roaming shift of perspectives comes obscurely like thundering ale, whereas cryptical plateau meets untamed colloquy between phantoms.
Among the inexhaustible striking releases, Undveld is co-running the Lithuanian label static motion and is a part of the Swedish label offworldcolonies.ltd.
