gorp_ In my opinion this is more depressing than Everywhere at the end of time Favorite track: A last glimpse of the land being lost forever.

OrsonXD The Caretaker produces a great soundtrack that fits perfectly with the theme, watching the documentary. Some tracks really hit while some took a swing and missed by an inch, not really feeling what the author felt and experienced along his journey. Wish more people made P(AS) fan projects tho. Favorite track: Everything is on the point of decline.

anerbe Piano snippets with a rain-like static, perfect for studying, can get sad and distorted at times but overall it's great. Favorite track: When the dog days were drawing to an end.

about

The Caretaker returns with a long-in-the-making soundtrack to acclaimed filmmaker Grant Gee's documentary about German writer WG Sebald. 'Patience (After Sebald)' is a multi-layered film essay on landscape, art, history, life and loss - an exploration of the work and influence of German writer WG Sebald (1944-2001), told via a long walk through coastal East Anglia tracking his most famous book 'The Rings Of Saturn'. 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.

Eager to tear apart the stars
by Leyland Kirby

supported by 287 fans who also own “Patience (After Sebald)”

this was an instant classic to me when I first heard it a few years ago and it hasn't left my side ever since. it might be my favorite thing Leyland Kirby has done. there is an unshakable, profound melancholy in every tone that feels heavy and uplifting at the same time, like a trip to the afterlife and back. for people who have played Sunless Skies, it feel like the Most Serene Mausoleum to me: floating halls of marble, surrounded by interred souls, contemplating a dead sun. sleepyheadphone
