Sounding Artists R Sweet and So R You

“It’s cool, a lot of songs on computer zoom. A lot of great songs. All weekend dancing to 3 songs at home. Boom boom bada boom boom.”

- NIAD artist Luis Estrada’s album review

"Sounds Artists R Sweet and So R You" is a document of the collaborative efforts that the NIAD community took when reaching out to one another in the early Covid-19 pandemic, full of boredom, wordplay, tributes and mantras.

"Sounds Artists R Sweet and So R You" is about discovering Zoom, dialing telephones, and adjusting from the analog 23rd Street Studio to the domestic spaces we occupy everyday but no one else sees.
