Der Hausmeister
The Caretaker is a long-running project by English ambient musician Leyland James Kirby (born 9 May 1974). His work as the Caretaker is characterized as exploring memory and its gradual deterioration, nostalgia and melancholia. Initially, the project was inspired by the haunted ballroom scene in the 1980 film "The Shining", with his first several releases consisting of treated and manipulated samples of '30s ballroom pop recordings.
