Album Explanation Here
This album had quite the impact on me. It's an experience. The album and the six Stages it contains are supposed to reflect the perspective of having dementia/alzheimer's. There are 6 Stages with each Stage being a reflection of about three years. Every three years, the stages change, the condition gets worse. You can hear the music differences with each stage and included is a description that explains what each stage is so you can kinda comprehend what you are hearing. I wouldn't recommend listing to it if you are bothered by stuff like this or get upset about this kinda topic easy. It really got me thinking about life and music and just how critical the aspect of memory is to who we are.
STAGE 1 : 00:00:00 Here we experience the first signs of memory loss. This stage is most like a beautiful daydream. The glory of old age and recollection. The last of the great days.
STAGE 2 : 00:41:22 The second stage is the self realization and awareness that something is wrong with a refusal to accept that. More effort is made to remember so memories can be more long form with a little more deterioration in quality. The overall personal mood is generally lower than the first stage and at a point before confusion starts setting in.
STAGE 3 : 01:23:17 Here we are presented with some of the last coherent memories before confusion fully rolls in and the grey mists form and fade away. Finest moments have been remembered, the musical flow in places is more confused and tangled. As we progress some singular memories become more disturbed, isolated, broken and distant. These are the last embers of awareness before we enter the post awareness stages.
STAGE 4 : 02:08:53 Post-Awareness Stage 4 is where serenity and the ability to recall singular memories gives way to confusions and horror. It's the beginning of an eventual process where all memories begin to become more fluid through entanglements, repetition and rupture.
STAGE 5 : 03:36:12 Post-Awareness Stage 5 confusions and horror. More extreme entanglements, repetition and rupture can give way to calmer moments. The unfamiliar may sound and feel familiar. Time is often spent only in the moment leading to isolation.
STAGE 6 : 05:04:32 Post-Awareness Stage 6 is without description.
