Homemade analogue visualizer created by Ben LaMar Gay with light, glass, and the slow twirl of a hand.
Gay says: "The original idea for this video was to be sort of a "variation" or a moment for a solo dancer in an imaginary ballet of mine, the dancer being the light. With time, the dancing light began to represent loved ones here and gone."megiapa - Open Your Eyes (official video)International Anthem2026-07-21 | directed, shot, edited by megiapa

Selina Trepp is an artist researching economy and improvisation. Finding a balance between the intuitive and conceptual is a goal. “If in doubt, be radical” is the best advice she ever received. She works across media and space; combining performance, installation, painting, and sculpture to create intricate setups and analog processes that result in animations and installations. In addition to her studio based work, Selina is active in the experimental music scene. In this context she sings and plays the videolah, her midi controlled video synthesizer, creating projected animations in real-time as visual music. She performs with a varying cast of collaborators and as one half of Spectralina, her long running audio visual collaboration with Dan Bitney.
Tortoise is Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Douglas McCombs, John McEntire, and Jeff Parker.SML - Brood Board SHROOM (video by Nespy5euro)International Anthem2025-11-07 | from SML's album HOW YOU BEEN (International Anthem, 2025) international-anthem.lnk.to/HowYouBeen

It was night one of the #CHICAGOxLONDON showcase at Total Refreshment Centre (presented by International Anthem with DJ/broadcaster Tina Edwards’s then-active EZH Mag). It was just a few months after the release of jaimie’s first FLY or DIE album and a string of US performances with the original quartet featuring Tomeka Reid on cello, Jason Ajemian on bass, and Chad Taylor on drums. Chad couldn’t make the trip to London, so jaimie called Frank Rosaly – who had recently moved from Chicago to Amsterdam, making it an easy trip for him to come through and sub on drums. Between Frank playing the music for the first time and jaimie inviting Angel Bat Dawid (clarinet) and Ben LaMar Gay (cornet) to sit in with the band on “leaves of glass,” she decided she needed some rehearsal time. The folks at TRC let us use the upstairs studio the day of the show, and jaimie pulled the music together in just a couple hours of running it down. This film – shot by Mark Pallman and David Burkart, and edited by Burkart – modulates back and forth between scenes from the rehearsal and moments from the performance later that night, offering a vivid view into jaimie’s unique vision and prowess as a bandleader, and her genuinely incredible ability to communicate ideas and lead musicians in fluid, creative executions of her compositions.SML - Chicago Four (video by Nespy5euro)International Anthem2025-10-14 | "Chicago Four" from SML's album HOW YOU BEEN (International Anthem, 2025) intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/how-you-been
