On March 12, 2020, as the world was increasingly forced into isolation, Jon Abbey (Erstwhile Records) and a few friends began planning the online AMPLIFY 2020: quarantine festival. On March 20, 2020, they began posting newly recorded pieces from sound artists around the world and they plan to continue to do so until the world situation has taken a decided turn for the better, no matter how long that may take. We focus on 4 works as a part of this series.
