This anthem medley, first conceptualized in 2015 in Vilnius, Lithuania was sound mixed in 2018 in Yangon, Myanmar. Images were then added and overlaid in January 2025 in Ottawa, Canada, as a peace-seeking gift for the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as 47th President of the United States. May it contribute to mutual respect, honour between people, and peace in & between nations.
This medley intends no animosity towards anyone, trusting that with dialogue and attempts towards mutual understanding can come peace and prosperity.
