Everywhere At The End Of Time

[text adapted from release's Bandcamp page:] "EVERYWHERE AT THE END OF TIME (COMPLETE EDITION) When work began on this series it was difficult to predict how the music would unravel itself. Dementia is an emotive subject for many and always a subject I have treated with maximum respect. Stages have all been artistic reflections of specific symptoms which can be common with the progression and advancement of the different forms of Alzheimer's. Thanks always for your support of this series of works remembered by The Caretaker. [...] May the ballroom remain eternal. C'est fini. -- STAGE 1 - (A+B) Here we experience the first signs of memory loss. This stage is most like a beautiful daydream. The glory of old age and recollection. The last of the great days. STAGE 2 - (C+D) The second stage is the self realisation and awareness that something is wrong with a refusal to accept that. More effort is made to remember so memories can be more long form with a little more deterioration in quality. The overall personal mood is generally lower than the first stage and at a point before confusion starts setting in. STAGE 3 - (E+F) Here we are presented with some of the last coherent memories before confusion fully rolls in and the grey mists form and fade away. Finest moments have been remembered, the musical flow in places is more confused and tangled. As we progress some singular memories become more disturbed, isolated, broken and distant. These are the last embers of awareness before we enter the post awareness stages. STAGE 4 - (G+H+I+J) Post-Awareness Stage 4 is where serenity and the ability to recall singular memories gives way to confusions and horror. It's the beginning of an eventual process where all memories begin to become more fluid through entanglements, repetition and rupture. STAGE 5 - (K+L+M+N) Post-Awareness Stage 5 confusions and horror. More extreme entanglements, repetition and rupture can give way to calmer moments. The unfamiliar may sound and feel familiar. Time is often spent only in the moment leading to isolation. STAGE 6 - (O+P+Q+R) Post-Awareness Stage 6 Is without description. -- All stages featuring cover art imagined and painted by Ivan Seal. All stages mastered by Lupo at Calyx in Berlin.
