Quar and Peace is an album of beats made during Covid-19 quarantine on IG LIVE sessions. "It goes without saying, the 2020 pandemic was a weird time for all of us. For me, it was mostly a time of isolation and boredom. NYC got hit hard early and we basically just all stayed inside for 5 months. Lucky for me, I'm never more prolific than when I'm bored out of my skull. That's how this album came to be. After weeks of just plugging away making beats, I realized I needed to both change up my patterns and also create some human interactions. So, for about 3 months, I would go on Instagram live once or twice a week and make a beat for whoever wanted to watch. Not only was this a way to be interactive with all the similarly locked down people, but it was also a way to challenge myself. I had to make a beat, entirely from scratch, in a one hour time frame (IG live only allows you to stream for an hour at a time). So, for better or for worse, I'd plug away and do my best with what I had. This album is a result of that. Admittedly, all the songs were properly mixed for public consumption but, otherwise, they all exist as if I made them that day on IG live." - Tony Simon "
