The first release played and extended this theme of altering 1920s and 1930s ballroom music creating an eerie and haunted soundworld. Subsequently the sound has become darker and often more abstract over time, moving away from the initial idea of a haunted ballroom into territories involving the mind and its abilities to recall memories.
The Caretaker's last few projects are heavily inspired by the phenomenon of amnesia, Alzheimer's, and dementia, the brain's adversities to recall situations from the distant and immediate past. This work is best recalled in the monumental "Theoretically pure anterograde amnesia" release, a release which accurately echoes and recreates aurally the disease itself which is no mean achievement.
The Caretaker is building an ever-expanding following for his audio memories. Fans of the darker isolationist ambient work of modern composers such as William Basinski, Nurse With Wound, Aphex Twin, Fennesz and Brian Eno would find elements to admire and enjoy and also parallels to The Caretaker's output. It can be a harsh world at times but ultimately exposure is always rewarding. Immerse yourself in the darkness and give into the spirits and tales recalled and retold in his unique way.

a handful of stars I recall the story, That night of love and glory A night…

The year is 2021, Everyone is gone,
You awake, sitting on a bench, you cant remember much,
You cant find anybody, the only thing resembling a person are the billboards and ads on the led screens lining the city,
As you make your way through the city, this song is playing on the speakers,
This damned melody, it almost gets to you for a second, but you shake your head, tuning out the music as background noise,
The city is just the way we left it, untouched by nature, cars are not moving the streets are completely empty,
You search around the city some more, its the same sight, the city and its buildings remain still, and the sky is a gloomy grey,
The same melody playing as the wind blows, a news paper lands in front of you.
You read it, the newspaper is littered with articles about mass disappearance around the world, no explanation as to why,
You feel your stomach sink, you need to get out of here,
You walk for another hour, soon finding an airport, plastic cups, suitcases and papers are littering the floor of the terminal.
As you enter the airport, looking for anyone or anything that may be able to tell you what happened, you find an escalator,
The music slowly fades from the speakers outside, and is now a distant noise, the music is now muffled
As you ride up to the main terminal you are greeted with clothes,
The clothes of thousands, mid walk, mid sit, mid eat
Just lying there on the floor,
They had lives, they had souls, they had families, and now they are gone.
The melody fills your head as the speakers inside the airport crackle,
You feel cold, you feel light, you feel...
Nothing.
Everyone is gone.

This is like standing alone in an elevator that never stops going up.
@ariberg4633
I would say never stops going down
