We've been quarantined due to COVID-19 and financial crisis. The world is on stand by. The only sure thing that can save us is sound. Be it the human voice, the drum or the synthesizer. Sound as a tool of creation, vaccination and escape. The internet can potentially be turned against us as we depend on it now more than ever making us vulnerable. We are now under strict isolation and life as we know it has changed forever. What music will be born from this moment in time? For we are on the brink of a new way of life, will we allow ourselves to repeat what has failed countless times before or will we create a better world?
QUARANTINE20 // LIVE FROM SECTOR 99 - THE JOSH CRAIG
The Josh Craig answers the call for which new sound of music will represent COVID-19 resilience with his new 5 track live cassette recording. "I looked around my bedroom studio (aka SECTOR 99) at all my electronic instruments and said now is the time to bring it all together. Now is the time to make the dystopian sound that represents the current emotions of humanity." Spanning from Ambient to Techno to Lo-Fi Minimal and to this New Wave Psychedelic Hip-Hop fusion that is a perfect example of TJC bringing past and present together for something original. Recorded live analogue directly to Type IV Metal Tape on YAMAHA MT8X Multitrack Cassette Recorder with zero computer or DAW interference. This 36 min 5 track album is designed to be listened to from start to finish.

Best listened to at 12:00PM in seated position with eyes closed after taking 3 deep breaths in and out exhaling slow on final breath. This is an audio meditation. Please listen in private setting with headphones at a comfortable volume. Some frequencies may be unsettling but that is just your body reacting to new sounds. All is well. Enjoy
