"AMPLIFY 2020: quarantine" was an online festival organized and curated by [a305906] with the assistance of [a1059360] and [a2943708] as a direct response to the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic. Sound artists around the world had been invited to record "aural postcards" from their respective states of isolation, creating a collective journal of the times. Starting from March 20, the fest was put on hold between May 31 and June 2 in solidarity with the protesters against George Floyd's killing by Minneapolis police on May 25. "AMPLIFY 2020: quarantine" ended after six months with the release of the [m=1809267] encore – an overdub of every track in the entire festival – on September 21. The fest was dedicated to [a601851], [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/2002742-Big-Floyd]George Floyd[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/237467-Simon-H-Fell]Simon Fell[/url] and [a161030].
