With soundscapes woven from uncertainty and narratives that defy the passage of time, Grails establishes music not merely as a medium of expression, but as an intellectual odyssey. Ahead of their tour in Turkey, we opened a door into the multi-layered world of Grails member Emil Amos, exploring his personal ties to Istanbul. In this journey, where a “naive aggression” collides with a “serene wisdom,” we witness firsthand the group’s mystical universe—shrouded in hidden forces—and Amos’s ancient connection to the city.
