During the current COVID-19 outbreak, a variety of movement-restricting measures have been introduced to limit spread of the virus. These measures include: quarantine, in which individuals who have been exposed to a communicable disease are separated from others for the duration of the disease’s incubation period isolation, in which individuals with a communicable disease are separated from others for as long as they are infectious and social distancing, in which individuals or large groups of people are restricted from gathering.1 Measures may be mandatory (governmentally required and enforced) or voluntary (not required but recommended by government or developed and implemented at the community or individual level). This brief sets out practical considerations relating to the design and impact of measures that restrict human movement patterns in the context of COVID-19.

Looking back, these tracks form a "sound diary" of my experiences and feelings on that particular day. No overdubbing or multiple takes, just one raw take - directly from my heart to yours. Most tracks were written and recorded in one day.

The music on this album is a series of solo improvisations for flute with effects pedals recorded between March and May of 2020. The day before was a regular day in New Jersey, but everything seemed to change overnight. Mawas my first day in quarantine from the Coronavirus epidemic.
