26th of May, Nikakoi made 2 variations of the Georgian anthem (written by great Georgian composer Zakaria Paliashvili), creating 70% of the music graphically.

The photoelectronic version. 
26052024_ Anthem_variation2 (inversion) 
"Inversion" in music means layers of the music are inverted, turning the melody upside down. Conceptually and musically interesting, like turning Georgian parliament upside down. 
Nikakoi also made -- 26052024_Anthem_variation3 (retrograde)and than he deleted it, because it sounded terrible. "Retrograde" means going backwards, which Georgia doesn't need. So, only the first two versions are available. 

Congratulations to everyone on May 26th, the Independence Day of Georgia!
