A3 - Late afternoon drifting 01:18
A4 - Childishly fresh eyes 01:59

Thank you to The Caretaker for his wonderful and transformative work.
Pfft. I can play most of stage 6.
Except for the last 6 minutes, I'm assuming ahah
@@FikretX You just need to scream and sob uncontrollably while hugging the closest thing you find.
@@FikretX im already looking forward to the last 6 minutes and also back there benjamin
it’s easy, just- AAAOOOAAAOOAOAOOOAAOOOOOAAA. OOOH OHHH HOOHOOOHOHOOOOAAAA
gently pressing the lowest keys on the piano contiuously, with sustain
I like how the notes are pressed harder and harder as the medley goes on, as if the pianist is getting frustrated when they try to remember.
That's a great way of putting it, even if that wasn't how I was thinking. Generally speaking, I tried to match the volume to their corresponding original tracks (e.g. quietness of An autumn equinox vs loudness of Things that are beautiful and transient), and it just so happens that B6 is just bombastic and really ends on a flashy note.
What I DID do, however, and no one's pointed it out yet, is gradually increase the reverb/audio space, so it feels like the room is getting bigger, and the music is getting further and further away. This is much easier to hear if you skip back and forth on the video quickly.
This is going in my "homework music" playlist
Finally! A man worthy of the excuse: I forgot to do my homework!
that’s a big ass playlist
@@tapphy2023 those meme playlists that got recommended to you back in the day had like 2k
I listen to fhe original EATEOT while at school doing work, finished it 3 (almost 4) times so far
Everyone gangsta until he forgets and goes to another homework music playlist
Is it just me or the transitions between each song feel like the person playing suddenly forgot what they were playing and then they decide to play another whole different song?
Also, great work, sounds amazing
Thank you! And yeah, the original songs definitely have the feel of forgetting and restarting at an arbitrary location, so I wanted to go for that feel while also making it feel like one somewhat cohesive song
I don't really hear that. To me, most of the songs have a definite ending. Either that or they somewhat flow into the next song.
I have that so much lmao, I sing one somg and randomly transition to the next, theres one song that even puts me in a loop of transitionimg to one another
Is there any sheet music for this? I'd love to play this at a retirement home (not that I know any nearby retirement homes)
I am unfortunately pretty much sheet music illiterate, though I could try to feed the MIDI to some automated sheet music transcriber and fiddle with it, not sure how effective that'll be
@@FikretX I'd appreciate it all the same :)
(of course it's all right if you're unable to do it; this is kind of a selfish request after all)
@@benjaminclay8332 Hey man, my pleasure. I want my work to be as accessible as possible, so the idea of someone asking to play a piece I arranged is really just flattering lmao
that's sweet and cruel at the same time lol!
@@FikretX has there been any progress on this? I was about to ask the same thing
I've been wanting to play some of the songs from stage one for forever now and you're the first one to arrange it on the piano
anything is more than the nothing I've got right now
Awwww thanks. Now I can give my siblings mental distress during family gathering just by playing the piano
I've been listening to 30s and 40s music since 2017 and I never knew music 30s and 40s music would so depressing till I know bumped into Caretaker. As a person with dyslexia and memory problems, Caretaker somehow seems a little accurate to me. Especially the music looping. I have to think things over and over to remember things and expand memory in order to know the real context of that memory.
Thanks to everyone for the outpouring of support! I treat my covers as both love letters to The Caretaker's wonderful work as well as therapy for them, so all the positive comments and enthusiasm mean a great deal to me. I am someone who fears less the more he understands, so my careful analysis and transcription of these songs is my way of coming to terms with the intense, turbulent emotions and thoughts that have been spurred by Leyland Kirby's albums.
A brief update: I'm already working on Stage 2. Y'all better get ready for reverb and echoes lmao. Those wonky tempos and longer songs are really doing me in at the moment, but the concept is holding up so far - still not sure how exactly how I'm going to handle Stage 4 onwards, once the melody drops off a cliff.
In the meantime, if there's interest, I might end up releasing a "full-length" version of Stage 1, where each loop is extended to the original length of its corresponding song.
Also, I appreciate the requests for various other songs: rest assured that any EATEOT songs will definitely be covered within their respective album. At risk of overpromising and under-delivering, I might end up doing another one of these for the Empty Bliss Beyond This World album (already completed Camaraderie At Arms Length since I like the song so much, maybe I should pre-release that as a teaser? :P)
when you finish the other stages, they’ll have midi downloads too right?
@@KangarooJay Naturally!
Personally, I'd love to see the full album.
When you said that you fear less the more you understand - I am also the same way. Except I analyze through art or drawing. I have illustrated all 6 Stages using three characters. Each track is summarized in a drawing or in a bundle of consecutive drawings. After I completed the ambitious project, the experience isn't scary anymore. I wish you luck and wisdom in your deep analyses.
Since you're also in the loop of The Caretaker's work, which album do you reckon I should try illustrating next? I got my eyes on An Empty Bliss Beyond this World.
@@Nek0Nerd0 Yes, Empty Bliss is a great one to go for. And I'm glad you were able to channel yourself through your art. Do you have those pictures posted anywhere on the internet? I'd love to check them out
Can’t wait for stage 4 🔥
Honestly still trying to figure out what the hell I'm gonna do when all musical integrity starts going to hell and all I have are 88 notes and some echo/reverb effects ahaha
@@FikretX your already doing an amazing job dude 😂 we dont expect you to untangle the mess after stage 3. But I do have a suggestion tho, there are various moments in the "post conciousness" stages that are distinct form the noise and droning with recognizeable melody. Id suggest starting from there and maybe leaving it as just that if you want. Perhaps you can put in time stamps corresponding to the album instead of titles because they have none
@@billcipher4901 Haha thanks for the suggestion; what you described sounds roughly equal to what I was envisioning. I'm not really expecting to "faithfully transcribe" the entire album, just capture the spirit of it with some artistic interpretation
@@FikretX the last few minutes of j1 are really easy.
@@FikretX Well, some people actually managed to get most of the actual songs used in Stage 4-6, so it can work as a guide with what melodies you need to use and how much time you need to use them.
Polytonal harmony is so useful too, since the songs used aren't in the same key.
Also it depends if you want to make it playable for 1 piano or just getting all the notes
I have seen alot and I mean ALOT of content about The Caretaker and i'm glad to see more and more content about "Everywhere at The End of Time" everyday. Thanks for contributing! :)
PS. I looking forward to the next stages. No rush or anything just saying.
I love to see it too! I've enjoyed watching a community form around a shared experience, and people's riffing on the material, from the memes to the covers to the inspired original pieces, all demonstrates a deep respect for the Caretaker and the emotions he's brought up in people during this difficult time.
The memes are bad though
Beautiful. You re-composed each songs really well! Without the heavy distortion, this sounds jazzy & delightful.
Also you added the sheet music in the Stage 1's album cover in the background. Nice touch!
I'll wait for all of the other stages. Keep it up!
So glad someone noticed the little detail in the background haha. Thank you for the support
You two, haha.
Hey fallen human, you’re really in to the caretakers music, I’ve seen your Chanel. So what’s your favourite track or album by him, and why has it had such a profound affect on you?
@@connortollit6120 Yea, I found that The Caretaker's projects are very interesting. Not just about the meaning behind it, but also how well-crafted it is. From the music itself, the cover arts, the track's titles to the details in some of the tracks. His works really amazed me.
Some of my favorite tracks are: All you are going to want to do is get back there, Libet's Delay, Childishly fresh eyes,... and much more...
I love this music because you can hear the struggle and human spirit in it, after all the original samples were from songs that came out during some of the darkest years in history
Oh yes, the original songs are wonderful... as for struggle and darkness, it only gets worse in the later stages haha
Sounds a lot more chipper and happy, but still brings some uneasy feelings...some of the transitions gave me goosebumps. Good job, man!
Glad you appreciated my transitions! I really tried to make them as smooth as possible.
But yes, it's going to get a lot more uneasy from here on out
This is an epic heartache moment for the guy who made heartache.
that transition from its just a burning memory to we dont have many days was so slick
Thank you! That's one I'm proud of too
god this is sick
if you made a loop of B6 i'd be listening to it for hours on end
edit: i have no idea why i said A6
Thank you! Honestly might end up making separate loops of each one of these, who knows
@@FikretX yea, I like A2 the most
A6 and B6 are tied for best for me.
if i get sheet music for this you bet i'm playing this at the old slightly detuned piano at my school
That's perfect haha. Good news is, I'm working on it!
Boy do I have some news for that detuned piano: musescore.com/fikret/everywhere-at-the-end-of-time-stage-1
Everything else aside I think the piano as an instrument really complements these slowed melodies
Could you do back there benjamin please I would kill for that
All in due time my friend. That horrifying chapter will be dealt with during Stage 3. I'll keep you posted
@@FikretX thank you so much
This must be the stage 0 peoples were talking about
This is really well made. Makes this a lot better to listen to instead of the original. Gonna have to give you a subscribe for the next upcoming stages and other music!
Thank you, started working on Stage 2 already!
This is beautiful that I fell asleep calmly
That's great to hear! Thank you for the support
What did you dream about?
I like how joyous you made these tracks, originally sounding depressing and lonely
Everywhere At The End Of Happiness
this is so good omggg! i would love to hear the caretaker’s libets delay also played like this!!
Thank you! It's in the works
Things that are beautiful and transient sounds especially good!
Thank you! Appreciate it
Thank you so much! I've always been wanting to play these songs on piano but never had the materials to do so (i too am somewhat sheet-music illiterate haha). I love this!
I know how to play Megalovania on every scale, but I still don't know where "E" is.
I keep on coming back to this lmfao!
Omg i was looking por something like this! I Finally found it..
Can you please please play Drifting time misplaced ?
Ps: You really deserve thousands of subscribers ;-;
Im gonna be the thre :3
Thank you for the support! I created this specifically because I felt like there was a need that wasn't being fulfilled, so I'm glad I could do that for others.
As for Drifting time misplaced, that's one of my favorites! I will be tackling it when I get to Stage 3 - taking a break for now, since my brain is hurting from looking at MIDI files and listening to creepy vinyl sounds for the past week x_x
@@FikretX wow that is my favorite too, im soo happy to found this thank you for your work and sure take a break that was so much work ;-;
Very well done.
That’s so awesome and well done!
Lovely. I had first experienced EATEOT last year around this time and it has stuck with me. The happier and funnier remixes of the original art helps me cope with my feelings and it reminds me that there is joy to be found even in the most depressing and somber works. Keep it up my guy.
Thank you! That's exactly what I feel with all the remixes and fan works that keep coming out
Damn dude that’s awesome, I like it👏🏻
I like how the piano's sound is changing it is suddenly becoming distant or rather like vague. it really shows what the stage 1 is all about. Nice Work!!
Yes, you're the first person who's noticed that so far! Throughout the song, I slowly added reverb to make the "room" you're in feel larger and emptier
So far, these are the best midi covers of these songs I've ever found, well done!
Thank you! A big reason why I did it in the first place was because I felt like the TH-cam space was lacking something exactly like it
i love this so much
I absolutely loved this. Thank you so much
This is so quality you sir just earned my subscription
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for watching!
GOOD GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH
Very nice. Each piece was very clear to me and I enjoyed every single one. Thank you for blessing my recommended page with this gem.
well jokes on you i can play the last 5 minutes of stage 6 AND John Cage's 4'33 at the same time 😎
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL OH MY GOD WOW!
Please keep making more!
Beautiful!
this is very impressive and im glad you decided to rift on A3 because it sounds so heavenly
Omg thank you so much for this hahaha
Really great, can’t wait for stage 2!!
It's out now!
The fact that the repetition in the original album had made few songs stuck in my head
Yes, I have Burning Memories stuck in my head sometimes.
tnx boi ive been wanting a proper midi version of everywhere at the end of time!
Banger. You deserve more views mate.
This is so amazing, once I start piano lessons again I'll ask my teacher to help me learn some of those. Thanks for making these videos and for including sheets!!
thank you !!
I love what you did with the cover art.
Thank you!
This straight up ended up in my dream last night. I haven't listened to it for a month, so its good to know that this really left a lasting impact.
It's actually really pretty and suprisingly enjoyable to listen to, so I think that helped. Can't wait to hear more!
This is lovely! You’re incredibly talented and it sounds like you really know what you’re doing :)
Thank you! I try haha
Thank you very much, I'm learning Late Afternoon Drifting, the transcripts are excellent!
I'm glad you find them useful!
i’ve been looking for a slightly more complicated version of Its Just a Burning Memory for a while now,, thanks for this 👀👀
This is beautiful.
Thank you!
I love this.
Lovely
aaa tysm for making this!! i really wanted to learn late afternoon drifting :D
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes, Later Afternoon Drifting is definitely among my favorites.
As you can probably tell, I play it twice - second time is a bit of a variation. The first one is the one to follow if you want to mimic the original song more closely
I love this so much, I can't describe it with words.
Well maybe not, but I can describe my gratitude with this emoji: 💜
oh man the shift into a2 gave me chills! this is so cool!
Still my favorite transition to this day
Bro so cool you nailed
You give me hope for the future of the internet
Fantastic transcription, links to different versions, timestamps, midi download, sheet music
YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN!
Thank you! I enjoy making stuff accessible almost as much as I enjoy making the music itself
Finally I can listen to these tunes without the existential anxiety
I think you captured the beauty of Kirby's and all of his samples' work very well in only 9 minutes. b6 will forever be my favorite track from stage 1 and EatEoT
Thank you for your comment! Working on Stage 2, hopefully you'll like my interpretation of that one too :D
@@FikretX oo i'll keep an eye out for that
You are so talented! Thank you for making this! now I can play it on the piano.
Poggies
imagine enjoying the original and thinking of the old times, they good... while they lasted
I hope you make more videos with the other stages cuz this is so cool!
Stage 2's already out, and you bet I'm gonna keep going!
@@FikretX Perfect! I now watched stage 2 and its pretty cool too! Good luck and keep going!
Childishy fresh etes surprised me, epic and elegant
That transition from A1 to A2 was amazing
Thanks, it's my favorite one to this day
it's just a burning memory sounds so FUN and LIVELY in this cover and it doesn't FILL ME WITH DREAD AND TERROR and i LOVE IT
Haha I'm already working on Burning Despair Does Ache, and trust me, you won't be saying the same thing once we get to that :P
@@FikretX oh dear
I like the fact that the music gets slow then to the original speed.
Probably faster as well.
That's great detail if I have to be honest.
It's like the pianist is struggling to remember the tempo.
Bravo!
Thanks! Actually, I mapped out these songs almost exactly to their original tempo, measure by measure. I will soon release (unlisted) versions of all of these medleys synced to the backing track, so you'll be able to see it for yourself
Check back once I re-release Stage 3!
@@FikretX
I love how you incorporate the album art into the thumbnail in little musical ways :))
Thank you for noticing!
I momentarily got transported to NITW at 2:37, dunno why but that part of the medley immediately gave me that vibe. Love it overall btw, just wanted to point it out ^^
Hey, what's NITW?
This is awesome! I do a sort of similar thing as you do on my channel. But instead of doing it digitally, I learn how to physically play it on the piano. But it usually takes me like a week, or maybe even more, just to play one song. It's so cool that you did this for stage 1, 2, and 3. I bet that took a lot of effort. I also really like what you did and how you arranged the music. It sounds amazing!!!
love ya!
Thats fucking awesome dude
A3 sounds so beautiful!
Glad you like it :D
Omg I was just trying to learn this sometime ago and then i find your video tysm
Thank you for listening and appreciating! Out of personal curiosity, can I ask if there were any songs you were trying to play in particular?
@@FikretX sorry for late reply, yes I was looking into soulsborne ost iirc but for this video.. I recall there were no piano arrangements for any caretaker's ost.. but when I decided to look up again on yt this video popped up with "9 hours ago" written below it, I felt so lucky
I love how the way B6 is played perfectly captures the loud and almost chaotic nature of the song
this gave me heartaches
B6 - My heart will stop in joy
8:28 Repeat
(because its beautiful, perfect, and everyone loves it!)
Defo one of my favorites!
Just noticed how you modified the album cover, that's very cool.
happy birthday to this video
I can’t wait for you to put out stage 3. I’d love to learn drifting time misplaced.
I'm taking a break for now, but rest assured I will get back to it soon enough!
Oh man, I hope you can keep going and do stage 5
I will definitely try my best to get that far, because creating these covers is my way of mentally coming to terms with each stage (a bit like therapy), song by song, while also being able to capture the spirit using the limitations of just one instrument (and a limited digital version of one at that)
The piano gives me saloon vibes for some reason, like a cowboy that doesn’t know what dementia is, and doesn’t know he has it
This is incredible. I'm absolutely in love with this! Try to play stage 6 next? 👀
Oh, don't you worry: I'll be doing this one at a time 😏
is the thumbnail available for download anywhere?? i love how you made it into a roll of music! it would make an amazing wallpaper :)
Sure! Posted it online, just for you: imgur.com/a/2zpEK0b
@@FikretX thank you so much!!
I love the final song!
Excited for when Stage 3 comes out (I want to be able to play Drifting Time Misplaced accurately - the regular sheet music for Lullaby of the Leaves doesn’t fully cut it).
Yeah you're right, there's definitely something different about those chords. I will definitely try to replicate them to the best of my ability
Wow.. epic😃
I cant wait for part 4 piano cover
Oh me neither. Still figuring out what the dickens I'm going to actually do
I'm jamming out
Childishly fresh eyes sounds too cheery than it supposed's to be, but even that fact it's still a bop
doing god's work
Charming. And oddily TLT FNaF like.
