Songs for Lost Films

by Dead The Long Year

supported by

0ld_deus One does not need the memories to feel nostalgic for the life you never lived thru. Favorite track: Empty Seats.

m27frogy It's legitimately good dark ambient in the plunderphonics vein. Not sure what else to say.

Þ. Indriði This is so beautifully crafted and very striking. Overwhelming would be an understatement.

LudoCrypt The simple repetition of melodies and somber tones are perfectly crafted together. Simple, yet powerful in nature. Favorite track: Dislocation of Time.

about

Songs for lost films, a soundtrack to a lost golden age of cinema. The nostalgic, the peaceful, and the somber coalesce into a fragmented soundtrack to a film that never existed. A forgotten golden age. Moments of wistful reminiscing gradually give way to disjointed fragments as the picture becomes more and more lost. Wandering through a cavernous, long forgotten cinema as the still running film echoes throughout its dusty red velvet halls. The film itself decays, burning through with every viewing, scratching and distorting as it lays dormant collecting dust. This is an imagining of that decay, of that slow march to obscurity.

about

Dead The Long Year Sydney, Australia

Empty are the ways,
Empty are the ways of this land
And the flowers
Bend over with heavy heads.
They bend in vain.
Empty are the ways of this land
Where Ione
Walked once, and now does not walk
But seems like a person just gone. ... more
