Robertas NeveckaLithuania, 2025 | 04:44 min | 3DA music video made for the punk orchestra Lapkričio dvidešimtosios orkestras, based in the underground of Vilnius, Lithuania, embraces chaos as its aesthetic. It transforms glitches, fragmented scans, and digital noise into a raw, unpredictable visual experience. Using Blender and a simple scanning app, the video distorts reality, rejecting polished CGI in favour of a pixelated, unfiltered world. The band’s fusion of distorted sound and glitchy imagery mirrors their experimental approach to music. In this “Glitchpunk Odyssey,” imperfection becomes an art form, proving that rebellion thrives in digital disorder.
