^^^wish this would have been posted ten hours ago before I filled out the comment box and clicked send. It hasn't posted yet and there is a chance they may not allow it.
Some of you may think this silly, but I thought of it while laying in bed thinking about Adam. Not sure if just the people who have posted in this thread so far will be enough, but I was thinking we should all leave one of Adam's post positive feedback and get him back to the Top Spot of our "reputation" as a final SYG tribute. |

As long as you don't share any crude stuff he shared on this board, I think it should be alright. I signed it too.
I've still not slept either. I spoke to my mother when she woke up about it and was a crying mess the whole time. I don't think she quite understood what Adam meant to me but I just needed her support anyhow. By the way, I messaged an admin on the super popular movie torrent tracker karagarga about his passing and asked that one of his movies get featured. Thankfully, they fulfilled my wish and over 50 people have downloaded Adam's movie Me Myself and My Third Eye in the past hour or so. Go Adam <3 I've also been asked to write something about him for it but I'll need to take my time and make sure my words are right. |

Yeah, a simple ''condolences to his family and friends'' with your real name will do.

This is terrible, absolutely fucked-up news.
He was indeed the hyperactive, superIQ, dude. I felt overwhelmed by his knowledge in all kinds of stuff. His long posts scared me sometimes. He was such a kind person, with a seriously twisted mind, and pretty serious health issues and family background. Dude had it all.. Rest in peace Adam. You are being missed already. |

Hey, I tried to do my write up of him for his featured torrent on karagarga. Please tell me what you think and if there's anything else you feel should be added to remember his legacy:

Such terribly sad news to wake up to. Never knew him as well as some here did but I loved our occasional PM exchanges about Anger, Brakhage and his own movies. Inspirational in the way he approached life but above all he seemed a really good guy. Other members have said the rest much better than I could.
RIP Adam. |

Had to come back on here after learning the news. What a terrible thing.
Though I never had any kind of regular contact with Adam, he's had this kind of presence - we clashed quite a few times on here (always in good fun though), but we always got on afterwards and then ended sharing a lot of music on last.fm, he would randomly come up and ask me for some electronic music and i'd ask him some other stuff, last he sent me some hip hop in april 2013. anyways. bit weird to fil so saddened/affected by the passing of someone whom you've never even met, isn't it? but i do, i really do. he was definitely one of the most interesting, and most intelligent above all, persons i've ever met in my life. his outlook on music, art, things and life was, is absolutely original and unique, so incredibly determined. that's something death can't take off him. may he find peace i love you all so much and i hope you're all good - take care of yourselves, cause you are all a bunch of fantastic people |

This is sad beyond words. I didn't know him as well as some of you guys did but he always struck me as a very nice guy who was seeking consesus rather than confrontation. A lot of users didn't get along on this forum but I could hardly imagine anyone not getting along with him.
A few years ago I posted a disturbing drawing of mine, which I made when I was still a child (I think it was called "Post Yr Childhood Drawings" or something like that). I originally intended it to have a self-deprecating comedic effect but Adam seemed to be really into it and baffled me by wanting to use it as an album cover. I was both flattered and confused. I granted him my permission but for some reason I didn't take the offer all too seriously, why would anyone use this piece of shit drawing as an album cover? So it came to be that only last year I noticed that he actually stuck with the idea. The album in question was "Psychic Existentialism". This baffled me even more but at the same time I was intrigued. I just had to listen to some of his stuff. His music was unconventional to say the least. He just did his own thing and reached a new level of unique by doing so. Both his music and his presentation had an air of the surreal and I applauded him for that. Not many people dare to be weird. Adam did, wholeheartedly! And from the things I've read he was very modest about it. He seemed like a guy that did amazing things but wouldn't shy away from laying back and having a beer with you. Rest In Peace Adam! |

or to elaborate... it's been a lot of years, guys. A lot of us started on the old pre-SY.com board even. So a lot of us go pretty back in years. And it's just. Ugh. Some of us go months/years without posting. Or there's different crowds posting often at different times. Or in different threads or subforums. But I just want to say that all these years. It is crazy. This sort of loose crowd of folks whom I consider my buddies. A lot of you guys y'know have been around through so much during my life. (Thinking back to the OG forum and I was in college and running around crazy/young. And then the years go by. Got married. Bought a house. Different interests. So on.) I know it's super rambly and even slightly OT. Guess I'm just saying that in a weird way this board has always been a sort of fam. Extended fam that maybe I don't see as often as I used to. But still.

All the comments are now coming online at Adam's funeral organisers site - some very moving words for atsonicpark there. You've all done yourselves really, really proud.

Not much to add to what other people already expressed with better words than mines..
Sad news, but good memories too. It's hard to pinpoint something specific about him, both for his prolific output and for the fact that, at least for me, it wasn't always something about that output itself that intrigued me, but mostly his passion/attitude and the thoughts that (willingly or not) some of his posts here and his multifaceted creativity provoked in me. Here's a link to the Skip Tracer cover he recorded (as Scissor Shock) for the first SYG tribute, not sure if it's already available somewhere else (didn't check on archive.org), and most "new" board members won't even know what I'm talking about, but hey... https://www.dropbox.com/s/dqemgr4usl...p%20Tracer.mp3

Fitful sleep last night.
Life is short, people. I consider all of you my "pen-pals" in the old sense of the word. I share of myself, and I enjoy when you all share of yourselves. Adam's creativity and his willingness to be open about most things is RARE. I want all of you to know that, even though you may be words on a screen, behind a funny picture, and with an odd user name, you are REAL to me in a way that is most valuable. I interact with dozens of people each day who mean less to me than the small interactions I share with you guys. atsonicpark and I would get into heated exchanges about film, art, how to view things, how to judge things, intellectual things. I am the better person for it.
