Amulet + Support
A very special performance
from Amulet + friends, premiering new work written on the Isle of Mull
Combining original music, environmental field recordings, pieces of granite
And the voices, songs, and words of local people from 1850-today.
Amulet (Joseph Flower + Isaac
Tendler) are a Glasgow-based experimental folk duo. Using looped electric
Guitar, analogue synthesiser, field recordings and samples from multiple folk
Cultures, they create moving soundscapes from fragments of melody and texture.
In April 2026, the duo took
part in a residency at KNOCKvologan Studio on the Isle of Mull, creating new
work responding to the historic Ross of Mull granite quarries. These quarries
significantly changed the landscape of, and life on, the Ross, producing stone
that built monumental structures in Glasgow, London, Liverpool, and New York.
Over two weeks, Amulet worked with the local community of the Ross to create an
LP-length piece of music and performance. The piece reflects on the area’s
Unique landscape, the people that live on it, and how both have been shaped by
the quarries’ complex histories of industry and extraction. It’s also about
sampling and folk culture. This performance will mark the Glasgow premiere of
The piece, and the launch of its recorded release.
