Everywhere at the end of time

The eleventh and final recording by the Caretaker, an alias of English electronic musician Leyland Kirby, with artwork by Ivan Seal. Released between 2016 and 2019, its six studio albums, with a total of 50 songs spanning 6 hours and 30 minutes, use degrading loops of sampled ballroom music to portray the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Described by many listeners as "uncanny," "unsettling," and "saddening" by newer listeners, and with experienced listeners praising its ambience and genius, the work samples music ranging from the 1920s to the 1940s with an emphasis on English ballroom music, specifically various covers of "Heartaches" by Al Bowlly among others. Each studio album of the work represents a different one of the seven stages of Alzheimer's, each being offset by one. (e.g. Stage 1 of the work represents Stage 2 of Alzheimer's, Stage 3 represents Stage 4, Stage 6 represents Stage 7, etc.) The first stage is not represented in the work as it has no discernible symptoms in sufferers. There is a discernible difference between Stages 1-3 of the work and Stages 4-6, also known as the "Post Awareness Stages," which aim to portray the user's progression to a more vegetative state by layering multiple songs over one another, sometimes up to 17 layers, with some stretches of songs using very few samples and therefore making for an ambient, peaceful effect.

Everywhere at the end of time's ambience in Stages 4-6 helped me to concentrate while applying for scholarships, especially the end of J1 Stage 4 Post awareness confusions.
Everywhere at the end of time Stage 3 is the perfect soundtrack for the Deep Dark biome in Minecraft; it's so much more terrifying for the Warden to be chasing you while you have extremely distorted ballroom music playing in your ear at full volume!
I've tried telling you a thousand times: I don't want to hear Everywhere at the end of time because it's just too disturbing!
