things fading away. things regenerating. things catching fire. things grinding together into oblivion. lots of different types of music and bands* (too many to mention). books. the poetics of space. specific films (also too many to mention). rain. long two lane highways. solitude. melancholia. how light moves throughout the day. tiny little particles that make up everything. death as the road to awe. death as the act of creation. all the dead stars in the night skies still throwing light against our eyes. *TO GET AN IDEA SEE FRIENDS LIST AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE
Sounds Like
busted up dreams and dwindling memories.

"With ‘A Parable….’ ADC has travelled to the very core of the concept of post-rock and has carved out a unique, dark and luscious territory that stands up there with the genre’s forbearers. To immerse oneself in the work of ADC would be a thoroughly recommended experience as the audio and visual go hand-in-hand and are designed to stimulate your emotions by showcasing a tangible peek into the world of post-apocalyptic melancholic romanticism. Limited to 250 so get in fast." - KS of experimusic.com
"Post Rock influenced ambient/drone artist A Death Cinematic. Simple stunning artwork and packaging that suits the music. Rusty sounding guitar blues, apocalyptic darkness and engulfing textures." - dead pilot distro
1-thus it begins
2-ebbing through the time of the elephants
3-the ashes roar in the fires
4-in the west the winds roll on thunderous clouds
5-...and all the leaves tremble (with the dawn sirens)

"An amazing album of ambient drone, clean guitars and atmospheric brilliance. Very post-rock-esque throughout; unique and brilliant" - e3recordings and distro
"If I had to describe a Death Cinemtaic, (and I do) I would describe it as Eclectic drone-laden brilliance. Clean guitars awash ambient drone and samples. Truely wonderful improvisations keep this album feeling fresh for every listen." - pocket change records

~reviews and opinions are here
"Two projects that complement each in all levels of the ambient & drone genre. A Death Cinematic begins the split with a foundation of guitar experimentalism and drone soundscapes. Departing emotions of crushing overtones and organic textures. Unrelenting discords of layering, delicate but abrasive experimentation with feedback and sound structure. Taking the listener on a ride through a bizarre and yet beautiful time of chaos. Beyond The Black Ocean follows suit with a timelessness of space ambient drift. A cosmic travel of storytelling with floating melodies, soundscape horizons, and alien atmospherics. Beyond The Black Ocean approaches with a subtle yet creeping natural texture. Utilizing factors of sampling and layering the monumental outcome is “ah” inspiring." - witchhouse records

~exclusive a death cinematic track: I FEEL YOUR HOMES BURNING DOWN
~view the a death cinematic contributed artwork here
"Features 8 original tracks from 8 artists from PCR. Each CD is worked with by hand, and comes with 8 beautiful pieces of artwork made by the participating artists, a PCR sticker, and a whole lot of love."
a death cinematic is just one man with a single guitar, an amp, and some effects. all the sounds come from these four elements which are then mixed with intuition and improvisation before they are recorded and then cleaned up minimally on a computer. once these sounds are recorded and arranged they cannot be recreated. each composition is made up of multiple layers which are shifted and changed between tracks. this makes it impossible to reproduce them. the approach is not unlike one might use to make a painting or a sculpture. not all mistakes are eliminated, some are embraced and built upon as others might only slightly be covered or changed in order to produce a whole new effect.
glad to hear it bro everything's good here just working in overdrive gonna start work on "the new world" really soon stoked to here this thing come together i know it's gonna be amazing :]

Greetings from the snowy Moscow/Russia
/Ivan
i'll shoot the story over to you once i'm finished i plan on writing it tonight or tomorrow so be on the look out for it can't wait to hear what you and randy do with the music how's everything on your end brother? :]
Thanx for the add again, hey I got a brand new video & I would greatly
appreciate your opinion. If you have time would you check it out and
rate/comment please, thanx and I hope you enjoy it. Have a kick ass
sabbath!
been listening to "i feel your houses burning down" all night and it's amazing it fits this time of year so well it's basically how i wanted the guitar stuff on our collab track to sound i thought it would be cool if we did one track where i read a short story and then another where it's all instrumental with you and randy what do you think? so stoked about it bro
Yes your CD arrived safely, as you already know it is an amazing release!!
Quite possibly the best packaging I have ever seen, so much care and effort .. Loving the moods and production on the album thus far, however it is a massive slab of music to digest and I would prefer to make a more educated comment when I have had more time to take the album in.
Again thanks for the support, and keep your fine work coming..
Cheers
L
PS. I have another little present coming to you in a week or so, Houdini-Cloves collaboration track through Left (field) Recordings, complete with some fine packaging..
