The Crossing Releases ‘Cloud Anthem’ Film

By David Salazar

With the General Election in the United States underway, The Crossing has released a short film to go along with its recently released single as part of its “The Crossing Votes: 2024.”

The piece in question, “Cloud Anthem” by Michael Gilbertson, was released on Oct. 18, 2024 and draws inspiration from a poem by Michael Gilbertson. The film was created by LA artist Brett Snodgrass and was timed to release at 5:38 a.m. to represent the 538 electoral college votes in play for the presidency.

“Our new single is a work of anticipation and possibilities. A work, we hope, says, ‘Vote.’ In it, we do not attempt to solve our country’s many
problems; instead, we intentionally leave behind cynicism to live in a world of voices, textures, and words that some may hear as an invitation,” said Conductor Donald McNally regarding thee new piece.
