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

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

~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

~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.
