For the first two and a half months of 2020, poet Anthony Tao and classical guitarist Liane Halton have been working on a new album for their poetry x music collab, their second, which is called "Here to Stay". It is inspired by the period we’re living through that started with the emergence of COVID-19 in late January and continues to reshape our lives
.Nina Diana Dillenz, who provided visuals for some of Anthony Tao and Liane Halton's performances of their previous album "The Last Tribe on Earth", as well as the cover photo for "Here to Stay" has made this music video for one of the forthcoming tracks from "Here to Stay", the poem "In the Air".
Nina Dillenz shot most of the footage at Beijing's Ritan Park at a time when Beijing’s streets were still relatively empty. The city’s gathering spots weren’t entirely barren, however. As the poem suggests, the fewer people there are, the more we notice the ones who are there.
