chassis Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Available for free for a limited time. Extra tracks taken from the soundtrack of the Grant Gee film "Patience (After Sebald). The source material for 'Patience' was sourced from Franz Schubert's 1827 piece 'Winterreise' and subjected to his perplexing processes, smudging and rubbing isolated fragments into a dust-caked haze of plangent keys, strangely resolved loops and de-pitched vocals which recede from view as eerily as they appear. http://thecaretaker....ce-after-sebald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 nabbed. incidentally the sebald he's referencing is, i believe, WG Sebald, who wrote austerlitz, one of my favourite books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caretstik Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 +n, thanks for the info. Surprised he didn't email us subscribers about this though, unless chassis was just too quick for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Only semi related (and it probably sounds like I'm going mental) but for those that enjoy Caretaker's more jazzy up-tempo stuff check out MouseWorld Radio 5 Live on here - http://www.mouseworldradio.com/ . It's loads of early 20th century boogie-woogie/jazz/ballroom stuff but presumably to reduce the crackling etc. the whole thing has been bathed in heavy reverb making it all sound like a Kirby release for the mainstream ! EDIT: errr, it appears to be playing a tutorial for some miscellaneous adventure game now - I'm guessing the content is erm, somewhat varied so ignore me !

ascdi Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Man, I can't stand The Caretaker. IMO this guy is still clowning people just like back in “Billy Ray Cyrix” days only now much more subtly. This is like, some old audio turned backwards and slowed down with some 8 kHz hiss over it. Throw on a depressed-looking painting and song titles and now I'm being hauntologicalled all over the place. I guess? It doesn't even sound, like, good. I tried. Do you guys really like this? I think I'm going to delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm going to delete it. it's not for everyone, and you have to be in the right mindset for it. You're not supposed to go into it with a critical mind, and tear it apart. Patience & An Empty Bliss are simple, intimate records for weary ears. Absurd as it sounds, one of the best ways to listen to the caretaker is while incredibly tired and slipping in and out of consciousness. The whole thing has a very foggy memory/dream feel to it, so you have to be in a state where you're open to that, at least to "get" the record initially IMO. Maybe that's just me though.

mcbpete Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Watched the film this afternoon - The score works perfectly as the backing to the minimally bleak and understated nature of the documentary. Definitely gonna have to read Sebald's Rings of Saturn, the recent indie game Dear Esther definitely seems highly influenced to the tone and narrative of the book.
