History

In 2008, Sasha Grey began an industrial music collaboration with Pablo St. Francis. They later added Anthony D' Juan and Ian Cinnamon. The project's first EP, aVigillant Carpark was released in 2009 by Pendu Sound on 7-inch vinyl. Grey also contributed vocals to the Current 93 album Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain.
In 2010, aTelecine released its first LP, ...And Six Dark Hours Pass, and followed it up with the first of three A Cassette Tape Culture compilations. Grey described aTelecine as "experimental noise", The Village Voice suggested it is electronic / ambient / minimal, and Todd "Pendu" Brooks called it dark ambient and death-dub. In 2011, aTelecine's first full-length album, The Falcon and the Pod, was released. Paul Maher Jr. compared Sasha Grey with Cathy Ames in John Steinbeck's novel East of Eden, described the ambient tracks of aTelecine as aural wrecking balls, stated that Grey's artistic temperament comes close to that of the Marquis de Sade as "a proponent of freedom tethered to its furthest extremities, yet untethered by laws, morality or religion", but admired her courage and audaciousness.
In 2012, Grey covered Nico for the X-TG album Desertshore. The first live concert of aTelecine took place on October 20, 2012, in Kraków at the Unsound Festival.
In July 2013, Sasha Grey announced her departure from the group. Ian Cinnamon and a new vocalist, Sveio, were the only remaining full-time members.
