The premise is that the Caretaker, one of Kirby’s long-running aliases, has been diagnosed with early onset dementia. The music will chart the patient’s decline, ending in the alter ego’s “death.” Memory, incarnated as resurfacing bits of music from throughout the Caretaker’s oeuvre, will progressively smear and recombine.
This comes across to me as a med-style wannabe artsy (but fails to be artistic) attempt at being deep but maybe I have become too reductionistic. The smear and combine thing reminds me of the "art" stuff I saw in Berlin galleries.
As someone who has convinced his dementia suffering Dad to hand over all his belongings and money to him, dementia is a much more complex disorder.

It's a slow descent into well crafted disjointed sound. Even beyond the Artist's Statement of it it's still insane to listen to all the way through for the sheer work that went into it.
This is music when it's written by artists instead of writers. The guy's trying to capture synesthetic concepts through wave forms, and it creates a really strange atmosphere. Skipping around it's kinda meh, but played from start to finish shows themes that deteriorate into something... else.
It feels like it's somewhere between the echoey ambience of Silent Hill 2 and David Lynch, that like... echo chamber feel but with odd cutoffs. It's a little bit like Kidkanevil's track "All Is Lost", or We <3 Katamari's "Blue Orb" at points, too.

Are you trying to explain to me how Dementia is more complicated than some dude's music album?

This is something that can be done in under an hour using any audio muxing software. I get that it's trying to convey the mental experience of the person in music (which is a great channel for that, you can express things like betrayal and determination just with some notes), but listening to it from the beginning, I find that the author put too little effort in it, kind of like abstract art where lazy assholes looking for attention.

I find this audio to not do justice to the internal experience of a person with dementia, it oversimplifies and makes a caricature of it, kind of like chicks on tiktok "stimming" (imitating autism) or blanc talking about depression.
TL;DR this is cliche "art" that pretentious faggots pass around hoping they will look deep and artistically perceptive, while lacking sense for art or appreciating it, no substance or depth
im not saying that i am art perceptive or "deep" either, i can just spot the really bad ones, kind of like you dont have to be a singer to hate chalkboard noise

I doubt you could do it and have it live up to this crisp of a sound quality.

How much of it did you even hear? I'm not even done with it myself yet.

It sounds like Abstract Art is not to your tastes, which is really a shame.
I personally like it for it's room to awaken the imagination, and it's refreshing when compared to overly literal works, but I guess a lot of people these days need the meaning spoonfed to them through obvious, repeated lyrics and blatantly repeatable themes.

What's art would you say is a good portrayal of Dementia to contrast with this work?

I love imagination filler (i am subscribed to /r/cleavage and /r/downblouse and /r/gonemild for that reason) but I enjoy when there's at least something to build up on. I too can look at an empty ceiling in the dark and see floating strawberries (something I enjoyed as a 5 year old) but then the canvas is a device, it has nothing of substance in it. This to me came across as just meaningless fluff that leads nowhere and is there for display.

even though this is just as simplistic and low quality as the other one i find it one step above lol
I remember you posting similar earlier like a year ago or something that had a similar theme, that one was much better.

You must not work with music very much. You probably don't even know the word "wet".

Would you judge a movie in just that much time?
I'm about three and a half hours in, and much like a book it doesn't really make much sense to not go through it in order the long way. It started off as some contrived old people music with a little bit of audio skew to feel "off", but it changes overtime into a variety of other things.

That's not imagination, that's a single veil towards extremely baseline literal concepts.

Does music not move you if it's not telling you words?

That's just a minute of beeping and some whispers. I don't think that's what Dementia's like.

What did I post? It must not have been that memorable if you can't even call on it.
