Support Kirby's original project: https://thecaretaker.bandcamp.com/album/ev... Full project is free to download on Bandcamp: https://chylop.bandcamp.com/album/beyond-t... Beyond the Boundaries of Time was a fan project heavily taking inspiration from The Caretaker's Everywhere at the End of Time series, which was a series exploring dementia, its advancement and its totality. Music recollected, distorted and lost by The Caregiver. All artwork covers were digitally drawn by Chip's Potaetos Studios.

This first stage is mostly described as beautiful and dreamy. An old era of memories, nostalgia and reminiscence. The final days of glory. 00:00:00 - A1 - You must have stepped out of a dream 00:03:22 - A2 - We hint at disappearing 00:06:48 - A3 - Early nights that used to be 00:10:38 - A4 - Stripped down to silent 00:13:19 - A5 - Wistful reminiscence 00:15:23 - A6 - The memories that remain and last a lifetime 00:19:16 - B1 - In all the cold and rain 00:22:22 - B2 - A seasoned solstice 00:25:53 - B3 - Walking alongside the shadows 00:29:05 - B4 - They seemed to make life worthwhile 00:31:46 - B5 - Fragments of joy, worn away 00:35:26 - B6 - Old tales and timeless love STAGE 2: 00:38:12 The second stage is marked by an increasing sense of self-awareness and a recognition that something is wrong, but a refusal to fully accept that this is the case. Greater effort is put into remembering memories so they stick around a little longer but the quality starts to fade. In general, the emotional mood sounds more subdued and negative. 00:38:12 - C1 - A hollow emptiness takes hold 00:41:09 - C2 - Distant despair 00:45:06 - C3 - Picture what you have done to my heart 00:48:08 - C4 - Moments of upbringing in difficult periods 00:52:29 - C5 - Succumbed to the merciless weight of sorrow 00:56:41 - D1 - Disrupting the path of happy days 01:01:06 - D2 - Lethe’s lost evenings 01:04:03 - D3 - Final calls from the void of desolation 01:09:03 - D4 - Eclipsed refusal 01:13:21 - D5 - The sky in the horizon seems empty STAGE 3: 01:18:16 At this stage, we encounter some of the final clear memories before confusion begins to take over and the fading haze settles in. The most cherished moments are still recognizable, though the musical progression becomes increasingly fragmented and disoriented. As the stage unfolds, individual memories grow more distorted, disconnected, fractured, and distant. These represent the final traces of awareness before we transition into the post-awareness stages. 01:18:16 - E1 - Regress there Marie 01:22:42 - E2 - And to my heart 01:25:46 - E3 - Concealed pelagic engulfed profoundly 01:26:52 - E4 - Perception facers 01:30:21 - E5 - To the slightest large concealed 01:32:09 - E6 - Unfathomable outwith waste 01:33:56 - E7 - Sorrow wistful eyes 01:35:43 - E8 - Lasting period evenings fragments 01:39:33 - F1 - Sequences of sectors reach 01:41:57 - F2 - Early despair distant 01:45:51 - F3 - Alongside reminiscence Infinity 01:48:51 - F4 - Stepped path does worry 01:51:53 - F5 - Worrying cavity without clarity 01:53:10 - F6 - A desolate delight outwith the Infinity 01:56:03 - F7 - Marie postponement 01:59:11 - F8 - Sorrowful familiarity STAGE 4: 02:02:13 Post-Awareness Stage 4 marks the point where feelings of calm and the ability to recall individual memories begin to fade, replaced by confusion and fear. It signals the start of a gradual process in which memories become increasingly unstable, blending together through repetition, fragmentation, and distortion. 02:02:13 - G1 - Stage 4 Post Traumatic Horror 02:24:17 - H1 - Stage 4 Post Traumatic Horror 02:47:55 - I1 - Stage 4 Brief Delight Phase 03:09:14 - J1 - Stage 4 Post Traumatic Horror STAGE 5: 03:33:03 Post-Awareness Stage 5 is marked by growing confusion and dread. Stronger distortion, repetition, and fragmentation are sometimes interrupted by calmer moments. The unfamiliar may begin to feel familiar. Time is often lived only in the present, leading to isolation. 03:33:03 - K1 - Stage 5 Late stage plaque deterioration 03:57:27 - L1 - Stage 5 Late stage plaque deterioration 04:21:39 - M1 - Stage 5 Jointure throwback 04:42:55 - N1 - Stage 5 Instant flow lapse to seclusion STAGE 6: 05:05:40 Post-Awareness Stage 6 remains undescribed 05:05:40 - O1 - Stage 6 An ignorance so wide we fail ignoring 05:28:05 - P1 - Stage 6 A brutal delight outwith this desolate loss 05:50:14 - Q1 - Stage 6 The prolonged decrease has ended 06:11:36 - R1 - Stage 6 Universes around have collapsed Released August 30th, 2026
