May 2020 Report is a 65-minute assemblage of sounds from my daily life in Gainesville, Florida during the Coronavirus Era.
— with contributions by Leslie Singer, Stanley, Rafael González, Lumen K, Dylan Houser, Mark McGee (drum sounds), and other friends.

The assemblage is split into four sections, and it includes spoken words, me playing the KQ Unotone iPhone synthesizer and 2-string pink dumpster guitar, family members, neighbors, co-workers, grocery store employees, rainstorms, birds, dogs, helicopters, airplanes, traffic sounds, etc.

I used four Sony ICD-PX470 stereo digital dictaphones to make these recordings, and you will hear the sounds I recorded with them mixed by random chance procedures in an audio assemblage along with sounds from the video clips from the May 2020 movie, which you can view here —
