Patience (After Sebald)

"'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.'"Patience (After Sebald) is the eighth official album by the Caretaker, released on January 12, 2012. The album is a soundtrack to the film of the same name directed by Grant Gee. All samples are pulled from recordings of Franz Schubert's 'Winterreise' piece. It costs £5 GBP to download the album from Bandcamp. An EP of outtakes from these sessions, Extra Patience (After Sebald), was made available for free the following month on Bandcamp.
