The Caretaker - theoretically pure anterograde amnesia
James Kirby / V/Vm Test Records (UK)
Prix Ars Electronica 2007 “Digital Musics. Honorary Mention.”
The Caretaker is the work of James Kirby (UK), who recalls dusty and forgotten memories, echoes and vibrations from the past, using recordings from the 1920s and 1930s era of ballroom music as source. Often they are painful and desolate memories, recalled and replayed from beyond the grave of our senses. In amongst this darkness lies the solace of a semi-recognizable melody or phrase, a beacon of light in this often dark and distant ocean of haunted, recalled sound.
