Riffs, remixes, mashups and variants of Childish Gambino's immortal masterpiece, augmented by a whole bunch of other stuff presented finally here in this sprawling mix which has been worked on for almost a year's time.

This particular version has the word 'Ultimate' in the title to distinguish it from any intermediate stage versions of this piece that there may be out there.

This feels DONE now.

This is a long and detailed sonic mural which turned out to be a portrait of a post-Election nation in all of its guises of volatile internal paranoia, exuberance and conflict.

This is a longish, more or less abstract, darkly psychedelic collage piece which seeks to capture the mood of The United States in the period just after the 2020 U.S> Presidential election. It is labelled 'Redux Ultimate' because it is the final form of this piece and to distinguish it from other versions which may be 'out there'. It includes, as a leitmotif, many different versions (remixes and mashups) of the song 'This is America' by Childish Gambino and many enraged (some modified) rants by Trump fans post-2020 Election. Several of these rants include the phrase 'This is America'. Some ranting is by webcaster and Trump associate Alex Jones. The 'America First' piece with him is by Placeboing. One of the ranters is actually in the 'Four Seasons' parking lot during the Rudy Giuliani press conference there post-election.
