He seems like a pretty chill dude considering he made the darkest album I’ve ever heard
Eh he's made decades worth of music, I'm sure he's gone on enough journeys to have been calmed out.
Yeah I’d probably get a beer with him
I’m sure he was a chill/humble dude his whole life. Music is a tool to get out the deeper inner feelings no one sees on the surface. A lot of artists who create music with deep/morbid topics tend to be much more tame and collected.
you need to listen to more music, he’s just one of the greats
Exorcism. He exorcises the demons out of him...and into us. Just how art and artists work.
Leyland Kirby's work according to others' descriptions: He explores deep into the loss that dementia brings.
Leyland Kirby in real life: Dementia's kinda wonky, innit?
PLOT TWIST: He doesn't recall how involved his music is. He has Dementia.
@@aviparker4480 plot twist: James Leyland Kirby des of dementia :(
@@cam1045 did he died?
@@John-X no
This will always be one of my favourite comments
This guy seems like he's everywhere at the end of time
TRUEEE
Woah
Wow
that would make sense
No, I think he wishes that he was in an empty bliss beyond this world.
0:29 the moment he said "memory going wrong" my video quality dropped to 240p and it freaked me out for a bit
It's actually scary lol
OMG its scary and funny at the same time
Lmao
video forgot what 1440p is
What is it with ambient musicians looking like rockstars during interviews?
Cause he thinks he's a rockstar? Maybe he's channeling Jeff Lynne (ELO) here.
@@anodyne57 Haha Jeff Lynne immediately came to mind when I saw him here
My fav look is William Basinski, he's looking fabulous, such a "rockstar" sassy vibe.
Le Cormoran it’s so they can attract small children and animals to eat. It’s a layered process really.....
Do they look differently when they're not being interviewed.
So this is the man that has been messing with my mind for the past week. I feel like Iron Man meeting Thanos for the first time.
I've left his identity off my mind. Mainly with my obsession to this project.
Now that I have seen him. I realize the monster I'm facing.
Took me weeks to recover. I had bouts of paranoia, a fear of the dark (something I haven't experienced since I was like 8) and couldn't even stay in my room where I first heard it. I slept in the basement and couldn't sleep until I literally couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. After years on the internet and having seen the most fucked up videos available, I finally found my mental limit: The Caretaker.
Send him a fan email on his Bandcamp! He replied to mine!
Same
@@John-X I was just like you who can handle watching something messed up but this album is the same thing happen to me too, lmao
I thought the caretaker was a AN actual caretaker who worked at nursing home around dementia patients , but it turns out it’s a bloody Brit , I love it
The Caretaker, as in, the guy whose job it is to make sure the haunted ballroom doesn't fall to pieces.
What’s more surprising is that he’s northern
X2
Be careful, he is a genius.
*Take care
@@renchinochoclo its a desert out there
@@renchinochoclo And be well
this is the first time i've actually seen leyland kirby talk and he's much more calm than i expected
What did you think he would sound like?
probably less mellowed out, just cause of the music he made? understandable really, but to be fair most dark/morbid artists are chill, likely cause of all the dark stuff they make as an art form
@@glasshorse6893 and they also sound British.
The genius behind the masterpiece. This man is responsible for teaching me about this horrifying disease and helping me understand it
Leyland Kirby: makes one of the darkest albums of the decade
Leyland Kirby Irl: memory goes wronk sumtames inni
True
I don’t know how you can work in a room like that making this music and not constantly crying of fear
His really brave and not afraid to do this scary masterpiece
I think embracing that fear and panic and just channeling it into the production is what makes the project the way it is and is part of the creative process. It’s like psychological martyr for the sake of art
@@ChazzDiStefano Is like the same thing when somebody making a horror movie or a horror game
That's because he made it. I know we all gotta say he has this mindset that we listeners cant comprehend or wutever, but that's exactly the case. He's the creator, and it doesnt affect him as much as it does us
He’s just built different , he should be given a Grammy dead ass
He's even more chill than I imagined
It’s comforting in a way to know that EATEOT was made with specifically dementia in mind and does not have any bigger meaning to it. It kinda saves me a lot of grief having to listen to it as much as I do...
I mean I still do because I hate myself but man that’s great!
What kind of bigger meaning were you picturing?
@@mastercylinder6291 maybe commentary on the path to the afterlife or something (many people have the misconception that the final track is the Caretaker ascending to Heaven when in reality it’s just Terminal Lucidity)
I hope one day you'll find the clarity (or delusion) needed to stop hating yourself. Gratitude and forgiveness.
@@phillemon7664 No, I don't think that's terminal lucidity since it's borderline impossible to have that with a very deteriorated brain. That last track is really just a funeral dirge; the pop before that is the moment the Caretaker died.
What do you mean by "does not have any bigger meaning to it", exactly?
I love his work, didn't expect him to sound like Karl Pilkington, makes me like him even more.
Karl and James discussing Alzheimer's and Monkey News over a cup of tea ☕
"Does this sound good?"
A question not much modern producers think about..
And this is in relation to pretty much noise with the later stages, never mind music where it's easier to declare "This sounds awful," or "This sounds great". They don't try to make anything that's special, they just wanna make something that sells. Sadly, mediocre stuff seem to be popular nonetheless. What I see as the absolute worst culprits, ignoring the likes of Lil Pump as an obvious choice, is Cigarettes After Sex and Aitch. Absolutely dire work if you can even call it "work". And yet it sells. Somehow, it sells.
I love how everyone just acts like their type of music is superior and somehow fails to see how music is subjective and its quality purely depends on who's listening. I don't listen to the radio, but I can't say the music playing on it is truly bad or anything, it's just for people looking for something different in music than I. I, of course, prefer there to be effort to be put into music, but even that isn't necessarily a good indicator of how good the music is. A lot of ambient music doesn't take much work, yet still comes out into something beautiful. And sometimes, the most well received songs are made in a day from a stroke of inspiration, being made effortlessly. In short, I'm just kinda tried of this sorta talk. No music is good, no music is bad, all music is music.
@@TooTsaka I'm awing on Carpenter Brut music in this time
@@princereechaos133 this ^^
@@TachyBunker an online friend introduced me to Carpenter Brut's 'Leather Teeth', which is fantastic stuff.
One of the most impressive albums out there that I feel is something that can be appreciated by a wider audience if they decided to give it a try is Hippo Campus's 'Bambi'. It's simply incredible. My personal favourite: 'Anxious'. The demo version as well is incredible while also throwing out a completely different tone to it.
i would pay a fortune for the caretaker to perform everywhere at the end of time live
SAME THOUGH ITS SO GOOD
Same
Not sure what everyone would do there though besides listening to the music.
He said that all of this was studio based and hence it isn't possible for him to do it live as a concert. All the elements in this album are digital
He really seems like a great guy, especially having made the album that changed my entire life. If I were ever given the chance to meet him, I would most definitely take that chance.
may i ask you how did it change your life? i believe you and i am not judging, i swear, just curious.
@@AndreLuiz-zf6wq This album makes you realise that living every moment in your life is important because as the sands of time shift, they will be nothing but faded memories and this disease takes them away from you until you've lost everything. Also, it makes you relate alot to the old age population and how they struggle with day to day life
he sounds so chill lmao
Kirby making music: Makes one of the darkest and most life-changing things ever.
Kirby irl: *b r i t*
Thanks kirby. You have made the world aware of dementia. You are truly the mastermind of electronic music
i knew he was from manchester but i still DID NOT picture him with that accent lmao, what an awesome dude
Wow didn’t expect to see you here! He’s an awesome guy. God damn though his music is terrifying but I love it
He sounds like Karl Pilkington 😂
@@toadynose89 😂😂😂😂
dementcher is a right ball ache eh are ked
big up stockport 🙌🏻🙌🏻
yo, whats up to everyone who just discovered "everywhere at the end of time" and are trying to figure out what type of person made it
@blue bird news dude you dont need to spam that. jeeze
I believe it's been trending recently on tik tok so more people are becoming familiarized with the project
exactly
yeah, he seems chiller than i thought. i expected him to sound more on edge, smiling a bit too wide, but no. he’s chill.
not me
This man is a musical genius
Fun fact: the software kirby seems to use is FL studio. From looking at stock images of him working on music(yes, that sounds creepy), the piano roll thing he was using was very similar to what FL studio has. Possibly meaning that is what he uses.
And also. When It comes to making the samples, i think he uses either audacity(specifically the “Change speed by semitones”) nyquist plugin or FL studio. As the artefacts are similar when looking at his work in spectral format(these artefacts to clarify, are when samples frequencies bounce back due to the sample being above the nyquist frequency)
FL gang 🔥🔥🔥
*This is the same guy..... That created Everywhere at the End of Time.....*
The Caretaker when making albums: 😈😈😈
The Caretaker normally: 😇😇😇
@@AngryFatKid I know
5:06 to interpret the depression in the song kirby took a sip of an alcoholic ... brilliant
I thought he was just drinking alcohol because he was standing in a dark room listening to ¡■●○○》}《》《 music
@@arandomsupra true
I wanna go to his concert
Imagine a concert with stage 6 playing
@@aussieoscar I can imagine candles and lighters
Drop acid and listen to hell sirens through concert speakers
@@aussieoscar Well, he did a concert in December 2015 where he played parts of Stage 5
@Jhon Rengifo Yeah well he leaked some of the project at a concert
I find it interesting how we all sort of found out about his music at the same time
Why did the algorithm do this to us?
Algorithm?
I found it due to a Twitter post from “images that precede unfortunate events”
@@bobotov6930 Glitsholder
C'est à la fois le projet musical le plus terrifiant et le plus fascinant que j'ai trouvé actuellement (Everywhere at the end of time étant dispo intégralement ici) et écouter (une partie de) cet album serait incroyable, mais j'en ferais sûrement des cauchemars, on a plus ou moins tous peur de l'oubli de soi et des autres après tout.
Thanks for all the music over the years James Leyland Kirby. You’ve introduced me to a whole new era of music, it’s excellent!
this convinced me. The Caretaker is my favorite artist
I am so impressed with his work. In particular around dementia. Like to see him do more work around mental illness like schizophrenia or depression
Check out his other albums
Is it just me or do I feel like this guy is the type who will write a 6-hour-album talking about dementia or am I mistaken lmao
imagine if he actually did that would be crazy lol hahahaha
An Akira Yamaoka for our game of life.
He is one of the best person's to ever exist.
Hauntology.
hearing a recording of his voice after almost a year of being acquainted with his works feels odd. like i've gained access to the vault of godly secrets. idk
i wonder what he’s up to now
I will not rest until he shares with us what recording of the Lasst Mich Ihn Nur Noch Einmal Küssen aria he used for Friends Past Reunited/Place in This World Fades Away.
The way I understand it, is that there are only two copies of the recording and he has both.
This should help hopefully. ruclips.net/video/WtoqwWYnu24/видео.html
Btw Lasst Mich Ihn Nur Noch Einmal Küssen is german and means let me just kiss him one more time
Jesus Christ, as a Yorkshireman I listened to his projects thinking he was some deep mysterious american for some reason so to see him with sunglasses on with a Northern accent is incredible 😭 big up the north!
No way! The Caretaker is a proper Manc!
I'm on stage 4 and I miss stage 1 but no going back
Nice profile picture
@@MadSupra354 I SAYD THE SAME
This is really interesting! Its always great to see Leyland in the flesh, just talking
Thank you mr kirby i like everywhere at the end of time, an empty bliss beyond this world, patience (after selba) and the persistent of répétition of phrases
All the comments about Kirby looking like Jeff Lynne permanently skewed my perspective on the latter, and I ended up including a connection between eateot and an elo song called mr kingdom on my midterm this year 😵
its my first time hearing kirby's voice wow
Song playing in background at some moments is probably «Stardust» by Six Swingers (also used in WAGROAR)
I absolutely love his version of Ce Soir by Tino Rossi. However I really don’t understand why he’s holding a microphone to his mouth when there are lyrics, while he’s not actually singing anything. Is it just for the show?
I'm pretty sure he's using a talkbox, meaning he's speaking into the mic but not singing, and the computer pitch corrects it like autotune I belive.
@@fish3s1 Talkbox with pitch tuning and a program to tune it to a pre set melody? That seems so goddamn futuristic.
I'm pretty sure he's just lip syncing.
He’s always done lip syncing for his shows, even back during his V/Vm days. Only difference is he’s not running around the stage in his underwear wearing a pig mask or stage diving into the crowd and breaking a rib or two.
@Synapse Harvest No he's definitely lip syncing. His shows haven't exactly changed since their conception. If you watch his 2017 performance or his 2019 performance you'll see more of him lip syncing.
Magnifique artiste
Great Artist!
we love you, leyland. never stop.
after reading your quirky & brilliant quietus interview, i kinda wonder what a concept album centered-around your polish pub darts matches might sound like, or even a sort of hypothetical karaoke album for this fascinating Propaganda bar detailed therein ... :o
this dude made some of the most genius pieces of art ever created and he sounds like he's a lost member of the Ricky Gervais Show
He is just classical music DJ
it’s more than that...
Classical as in several record players playing broken records at different speeds all at once?
Fantastic.
8:21 Stage 4 live
Thats kinda sound like stage 5 than stage 4
My man's built like Jeff off of ELO
S T O C K P O R T, it's where it's at!
His project was very interesting
Actually, projects
Damn he really looks like Jeff Lynne.
My mans looks like Gaspard Auge from Justice. Sunglasses and all.
Talk about a spitting image of jeff lynne in his prime
People like this who have their own spirit and speak through their own mind feel how they actually feel about things others feel about the same make good shit
The caretaker looks like an older yung gravy
OMG ITS HIM
3:40 OMG
the mystery of his genuinely creative project is somehow lost on his overexplanation of it. yet i still like his music.
blipblip88 I still don’t think it’s lost, he’s just explaining the idea behind it not what it is.
he didnt really explain it very much did he? he just said "memory going wrong... nothing more to add" lol. you can read reams and reams of academic gobbledigook about hauntology if you want but he doesnt go into it
@@somaticjet2717 Possibly he doesn't remember any more about it than just that?
I think he just isn’t comfortable with words. His art is about sound, not speech. It doesn’t really make sense to ask him about what lies behind his project, you just have to listen to the music and feel it.
Caretaker: plays prey once
Everywhere at the end of time has entered the game
5:01 💙
3:37
Ce soir
...is he actually singing?
@@ARSD219 no
Someone posted this but i can't find it.
V/VM in 2018.
Stage 6 of this album reminds me of the game EarthBound’s ending when you encounter Giygas
Low and behold the gygas theme lead me to this project and i dont regret it
@@yourblack2798 haha I love this! Earthbound fans unite!
Why do I feel like the music is playing in the background
He looks like Jeff Lynne from ELO
8:22 post awareness track, in live it’s more exciting, mixing horror track 👻
5:07 what's he drinking?
Whiskey I think
@@doodlehobbo8697 spose, that's Kirby for you.
@@TheJedo yup
genius
wonderful
Talented Samuel Pepys lookin dude
Cool guy though
really inpresive result.

Y'alright r kid?
To be honest I don’t think his music was initially done as an expression of dementia or Alzheimer’s, I think he tied that in when somebody told him about how his music makes them feel. By the way I’m obsessed with this guys music, so I’m not trying to be negative or be a hater or something. Just my opinion
Nope.
I reckon he started his project in 1999 based on Kubrick’s The Shining ballroom scenes. In a sense, memory is an important topic in this movie so maybe that’s what kickstarted his obsession with dementia.
I feel the theme of dementia came around during Empty Bliss.
He started The Caretaker back in 99 inspired by The Shining. Later, after his experience with a family member's diagnosis, he began to study the topic with a friend. He turned that into the album "An empty bliss beyond this World." "Everywhere at the end of time" is an extention of that. Him making an attempt to fully recreate the experience in depth. Going from topics of fleeting memory on An Empty Bliss, to deterioration on Everywhere at the end of time.
I don't know, for me it's easier to imagine the idea dementia, then morph it into a consumable medium, then the other way round
everywhere ele esta errdo todo eles esta o alzherimer por que olhar so aqui nos presenicmaos os sinis de perda de memoria esse estgio e como se fosse sonhar acordado a lembrança da gloria dos velhos tempos o ultmo dias bons e estagio 1 por que todos pessoas e perda de memória ou alzherimer e essa eles e sim ou nao e fez nada legal
VVM @ GRM
Is he singing in french or is he mimicking while playing the record @ 3:40 ?
My bad vrère, c'est du Tino Rossi.
Always thought why is the vinyl hiss so near. I like it for a moment but then it's just a noise that doesn't resembles no more to rain or anything but noise.
Why does he look like a hippy version of huggbees?
méme
Leland Kirby got dementia, sadly. 😔
Fake
Not true
bruh, not true??
The caretaker moniker does but he himself doesnt
funny old Womble
viva la dementia
Michel Chion did it first
Dementia...hmm, I'm not buying it. Had a parent whose last years were complicated by a form of dementia...Kirby's dropping of the word into his descriptions of his music comes off as quite gratuitous, and shows he has the most superficial idea possible of the subject matter ("things going wrong" with memory...etc... ). Having said that, "Patience (After Sebald)" is one of my very favorite listens.
Well, what else is he meant to say about it ? I mean, he is a sound artist, not a doctor . . . :-)
Maybe he’s just a bad speaker? His music is genius.
@@Earthfield-GeopolymerWorld Good response.
I think this is a valid criticism. I sort of I wish I hadn’t seen this vid as his approach to the theme seems quite thin and vapid for such a serious subject matter.
His art is simply not about words, but rather music in itself. I don’t think you have to expect so much from him when you ask him to explain what his project is. You just have to listen to the music and make up your own idea of what he wanted to convey. His speech is more anecdotal.
Never did I think this man would sound like a 4th Gallagher brother. More talented and creative than the rest of em though.
poodle man
I have Lyme disease and it mimics Dementia, Alzheimer's, and many other diseases. At 51 years of age, it's a struggle..
No wonder I found you and your music!
Your healing vibes are felt, and you bend my soul.
I’m sorry to hear that. I never knew Lyme could cause degeneration in that way
My dad got diagnosed with Lyme while the country is fucked by corona, so he can't take any more test to see how he's really affected, but yeah, he's really starting to forget things
I heard how terrible lyme disease is. I hope you are ok
