Songs for Sad Poets Vol. III is the latest collaboration between Iranian composer Siavash Amini and philosopher-writer Eugene Thacker, released on American Dreams Records. Building on the foundation of their ongoing series, this third volume continues their deeply immersive exploration of dark ambient and drone music, drawing inspiration from the literary tradition of the poètes maudits — the cursed poets of world literature. Each piece is dedicated to a different tragic or visionary poet, weaving Thacker's original verse into Amini's hauntingly textured soundscapes.
What makes this collaboration so singular is the way Amini and Thacker transform language into pure atmosphere — turning words into silence, and silence into something almost unbearable in its beauty. Choral elements drift through the compositions like voices from a literary graveyard, lending emotional weight to the memories of the poets honored within. The result is an album that feels less like music to be heard and more like a space to inhabit, a 38-minute journey into grief, beauty, and the unutterable.
