SOLAK – “Untitled Cowboy” (Video Premiere)

Today I’m so excited to introduce everyone to a new Indie Lo-Fi artist, SOLAK, who will be releasing his debut single called “Untitled Cowboy” to all streaming services tomorrow. On this heartfelt song and video that showcases the depth of SOLAK’s sound, that fits somewhere in the realm of artists like Elliott Smith and Jack Johnson, SOLAK quickly cements himself as a key artist to watch. When speaking on his ability to write everything himself, this artist shared, “I still write on my own, and I obviously set some boundaries. But within that framework, the musicians are given the freedom to add their own personality. I enjoy that myself when I’m playing for someone else.” If you’re enjoying the new track, please consider pre-ordering his debut LP, Atlas, here. I was also able to catch up with this new artist for a brief interview below. Can you talk more about the locations you chose to showcase in the music video for “Untitled Cowboy”? Where did you actually shoot and what’s the significance of the house and museum we see featured? Great question! Actually the music video is “a day in the life” with a weird twist of story. The storyline has been written by my cousin, Victor Maillard. And my double is played by other cousin Simon Houthuys. So it became a family collaboration. On top of that we decided to shoot in the house of our grandmother. She moved out recently, and for us this house a place full of memories. We could finally be in every room (something we couldn’t do when we were kids!). I lied in her bed, and took a bath in her bathroom, a special experience for me. Knowing that it’s probably the last time we were about to be in the house. The videoclip became sort of a timestamp for our shared history. It adds an extra layer of emotion to the song for me. The percussion in “Untitled Cowboy” has the same sort of distinct/homemade sound that the percussion on a Fiona Apple track might have. How did you go about writing and producing the percussion for this track? Through the whole album actually we tried to look for the contrast between “bright” & “darkers” sounds. For me that’s often translated on a spectrum of saturation in sound. Steven (Van Gelder, the mixer) and me are a huge fan of the Latin playboys, Tchad Blake and Mitchell Froom, so I guess we went looking for that aesthetic. In the song I needed some sort of “drive”, like a small train, but it had to be light and easygoing for a longtime. When a heavy bassdrum finally arrives you are happy to hear it :) All the parts are played by Olivier Penu. We recorded everything pretty high-end, in an amazing studio in Norway. That gave us a lot of headroom to move wherever we wanted sonically. Would you explain some of the symbolism in the video for “Untitled Cowboy”? The video has an almost “Being John Malkovich” feel – both comedic and chilling. What did you want viewers to feel after watching it? The storyline was written by my cousin Victor Maillard, and he went for an extra layer of a story. It’s dreamy, and not really clear and also eternal. The video is an eternal loop of me looking for me time after time. It might not be too obvious, but we wanted that vagueness. We tried to capture the fragility of the words, and the fact that the song is based on a dream. But as you said, we wanted it to be light and funny as well, bit of a Wes Anderson world. Thanks to the beautiful colors, created by Robbe Maes. --- Please consider becoming a member so we can keep bringing you stories like this one. ◎ https://chorus.fm/features/solak-untitled-cowboy-video-premiere/

Hendrika Van Gelder (1870-1943) pintora holandesa.

Nació en Ámsterdam. Hendrika, apodada Riekie, era la sexta hija de una familia judía adinerada con doce hijos. Su padre era orfebre y joyero, al igual que su padre, que había llegado a Amsterdam desde Schoonhoven. Los padres eran Abraham Michael Emanuel van Gelder y Reintje Simons.

Hasta 1908, la familia Van Gelder vivió en Oudezijds Voorburgwal y luego en Nicolaas Maesstraat. No se sabe mucho sobre la infancia de Riekie.

El interés de Hendrika por las artes puede provenir de su madre, que provenía de la clase media alta de La Haya. En el ambiente judío conservador en el que creció, no se fomentaba una carrera en las artes visuales. Esta puede ser la razón por la que su carrera despegó tarde. Sin embargo, en algún momento fue instruida por la pintora Henriëtte Asscher, quien le enseñó los fundamentos del oficio de pintar. No se sabe exactamente cuándo.

Empez�� una "formación artística oficial" cuando ya tenía treinta y tantos años. Asistió a la escuela para niñas Dagteeken, donde fue enseñada, entre otros, por Jo Stumpff.

En noviembre de 1900 aprobó la escritura. Realizó un año más de clases de modelaje en la misma institución con el escultor Marinus Hack, pero se desconoce su obra plástica.

Después de completar esta formación, continuó con lecciones de pintura con el pintor Eduard Frankfort, probablemente por instigación de August Allebé, director de la Academia Nacional, quien la consideraba con talento suficiente "para arriesgarse a seguir estudiando".

Pintó bajo la dirección de Frankfort durante un año y medio.

Después de completar su aprendizaje en Frankfort en 1904, se convirtió en miembro de la sociedad de artistas de St. Lucas.

En 1908, cuando tenía 38 años, participó por primera vez en una exposición colectiva de esta sociedad. En 1909 se convirtió en miembro de Arti et Amicitiae y en 1915 se incorporó a De Onhoudenen.

También participó en exposiciones de artistas femeninas, como The Woman 1813-1913, Art by and about Women (Utrecht 1917) y The Painting of Amsterdam Women by the Society of Visual Arts (Amsterdam 1918).

También expuso en el Pulchri Studio de La Haya y en el Laren Art Dealership Nico van Harpen. En 1914, donó su obra al Comité Nacional de Apoyo de 1914 y en 1918 donó un cuadro para una rifa en ayuda del Fondo Nacional Judío para la compra de tierras en Palestina.

Tenía preferencia por el retrato, pero también pintaba flores y naturalezas muertas. Aunque sus retratos se mostraban a menudo en exposiciones, ella no los puso a la venta; probablemente fueron pintados por encargo.

En los años veinte y treinta realizó viajes artísticos anuales al sur de Francia (Menton), donde se centró en pintar y dibujar vistas costeras, paisajes y paisajes urbanos.

Como única hija soltera, continuó viviendo en la casa paterna con su madre. Es posible que también tuviera allí su estudio.

En 1934, un año después de la muerte de su madre, se mudó a un estudio en el recién construido complejo de artistas en Zomerdijkstraat en Ámsterdam.

No fue hasta los 64 años que acabó en un entorno de compañeros. Juntos, los nuevos residentes organizaron una exposición inaugural. Aunque recibió buenas críticas nunca llegó a ser realmente famosa.

En 1941 por ser judía, ya no era miembro de las asociaciones de artistas a las que alguna vez perteneció.

Fue miembro de Kunstenaarsvereniging Sint Lucas, De Independents y Arti et Amicitiae.

Hacia 1933 se mudó a un estudio de artista en Zomerdijkstraat.

Su obra se incluyó en la exposición y venta de 1939 Onze Kunst van Heden (Nuestro arte de hoy) en el Rijksmuseum de Ámsterdam.

El 4 de mayo de 1943, Hendrika van Gelder fue deportada al campo de exterminio de Sobibor en Polonia y tres días después, cuando cumplía 73 años, fue asesinada.

Tres hermanos mayores emigraron a Estados Unidos antes de 1900 pero además de Hendrika, también fueron deportados y asesinados otros tres hermanos.

Todo su trabajo en el estudio desapareció: probablemente confiscado y robado, posiblemente destruido.

Después de la guerra, la vida y la obra de Hendrika van Gelder parecieron prácticamente borradas. No se encontró ni una sola obra suya para la gran exposición conmemorativa de los artistas judíos asesinados en 1995.

Dos obras suyas se encuentran en museos holandeses y el resto, incluido un segundo autorretrato, en colecciones privadas.

Le ponemos cara con su Autorretrato.

StreedTV Reviews: Alfred Hitchcock Presents #1 Revenge (1955)

Review#9

I first watched Alfred Hitchcock Presents on MeTV October 1st 2022 and I immediately fell in love with it, I have very little experience with Hitchcock and his works, so far I've now seen 2 episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and 2 episodes of his other anthology series The Alfred Hitchcock Hour

this was a wonderful start to the show, definitely very suspenseful, the relationship between Carl Spann and his wife Elsa is so endearing and sweet, which makes it all the more heartbreaking when she's traumatized by her vicious encounter with the unknown salesman

leaving her still and near emotionless, Vera Miles is an actress I recognize from a few films and shows, predominantly The Searchers (1956) she does a fantastic job portraying a woman deeply psychologically affected by her attacker

she reminded me of Morgan Woodward's Performance as Simon Van Gelder in one of my favorite episodes of Star Trek "Dagger Of The Mind" the mannerisms are remarkably similar

at the beginning of the episode, she's full of life and apparently she was a ballet dancer, one aspect i didn't understand was apparently she had a breakdown some time ago after having "too much happiness at one time" now I'm not a mind manipulating scumbag, aka a therapist

but that sounds a tad too farcical for me, I gotta mention I love Hitchcock's dry comedic opening and ending monologues, he's simultaneously refined and silly, I love the guy

near the end Carl vows vengeance on the man who scarred his wife, they go for a drive and she spots him, Carl slowly follows the mysterious man and brutally murders him, nothing is explicitly seen but implied, leaving the audience to ponder the grisly scene

once he gets back in car, Elsa claims she spots the man again and a deafening chill strikes Carl as he realizes he possibly killed the wrong man because of his wife's trauma induced delusion

with this the episode ends on a disquieting and eerie note, as much as I love this ending, I feel like it was somewhat rushed but criticism wise that's pretty much all I have, over all this was a compelling, dramatic and haunting tale of duplicity, what a great start!

Rating: 9/10

Since entering Trek fandom, every time I come up against some medical bullshit (usually pertaining to medication bc of course) I find myself thinking "Leonard McCoy wouldn't stand for this"

and anyway yeah given his reaction to medicine of the 1980s/the 20th century in general, the fact that he lives in a moneyless, presumably debtless, largely socialist future, and also bc he's a Country Doctor, I'm telling y'all he would be so hated by modern day conservatives if he were real and popped down into today. Like.

Bones would support Marijuana legalization and also support decriminalization of drug use in general. He'd support universal Healthcare and then some. He'd support razing our current pharmaceutical corporate hellscape and starting ground up with borderless, patentless teams. He'd support demedicalization of transition. He'd support abolition of forced procedures on intersex youth.

He'd be volunteering to supervise at injection sites. He'd be fighting the damn fight to make medical care consistently accessible to undeserved communities. He'd be fighting like hell to make up for the harm done to those communities by the medical field.

You know he'd break current regulations and laws if it meant getting people the treatment they needed.

Like idk I've had to have the field of Medicine on my mind a lot lately. So I've had a lot of time to ruminate on its many manifestations of bullshit corruption and white supremacy.

And we've known since Dagger of The Mind that Bones has a strong stance towards patients' rights. That episode remains so prescient, and honestly I think it's part of why Bones is my standout fave. I, personally, have not been institutionalized. I have not experienced that environment, nor have I encountered the abuse and mistreatment many people have. But like, I'm mentally ill, I'm trans, and I have known people personally who were. I'm not ignorant to the state of that stuff, and I'm v eager to discuss the fact that even with what I could -potentially- experience in institutionalization, people with even more stigmatized disorders, especially psychotic disorders, are even more likely to be victimized. All that to say, the scene where Van Gelder begs Bones not to hypo him, and Bones puts the hypo down. I think that maybe cemented him as my fave? Like. Not great that Van Gelder is in restraints, of course, but like. Bones has been sus of Tantalus the whole episode. He gets Simon in bed, listens to him talk, and tells Jim that he believes his patient is telling the truth, even if he's struggling to get it out coherently to others. And when he hears an explicit request not to do something, he doesn't do it. Like. That is STILL something of a standout action for a doctor to be shown doing? Generally when we get curmudgeonly doctors it's "you'll thank me later" when a patient doesn't want a shot/pill/etc. And Bones does fall into this sometimes, but if it isn't someone he already knows and has a personal relationship with, there's usually still an attempt on his end to communicate with them and get both of them on the same page.

And on that note, there's absolutely something that I'd say needs to be discussed when looking at Bones and that's the the Deinstitutionalization Movement that had been going on in the US since the 1950s into the 1960s. Like, I'm not convinced Dagger of The Mind wasn't primarily about that, especially since, following the refusal of the government to respond to the Deinstitutionalization Movement, a large percentage of mentally ill Americans are in prisons.

But to actually explain the Movement, it began due to the downright torturous ways people were being treated in these institutions ostensibly for "mental healthcare". Like, as bad as the current systems continue to be, multiply by three and remove any potential of outside oversight.

These were under-maintained holding pins for people deemed too "sick in the head" to be part of "normal" society. And of course during this time you could be institutionalized for: having taruma, having psychotic disorders, having anxiety, being autistic, being a teenage upstart, being a woman with any neurodivergence, being gay, being a transsexual(lord forbid it), and/or, as has been v well noted, being black, particularly a black man, and fighting for your civil rights, among other things.

And all of this was being done with p much no oversight at all. Often with overcrowded lodging, and medical treatments that patients had no say in and no way to opt out of.

So the Desinstitutionalization Movement was a response to the conditions of these places, and more largely a response to our societal response to mental illness and developmental disabilities that allowed this system to begin and to thrive. The Deninstitutionalization Movement's goal was to remove treatment from these isolated, long term stays under people with absolute control over patients, and instead bring them back into their communities through use of outpatient care, short term visits and emergency stays, publicly accessible resources, and, most importantly here, a reallocation of resources into strengthening communities and providing people what they need to recover.

The goals have yet to be met.

There were strides made by the Movement, I will never diminish that, and the continuing failure to meet the original goals of Deinstitutionalization is not an inevitability; it's a deliberate refusal to break from our capitalist model of exploitation. States and cities closed and/or "reformed" their mental institutions, sure, but there was no large scale effort to provide the social safety net that the Movement required.

Just abt the entire unhoused population in the US (and elsewhere, of course, but I am from here and speaking abt here) are suffering from mental illness. This isn't surprising, being unhoused is traumatic in and of itself with the life it brings with it. Many of the unhoused population have psychotic disorders; many have PTSD; many have turned to substance use as a means to cope with the unacceptable conditions they are forced to live in.

If an unhoused person is forcibly institutionalized. And that does happen. Best case scenario is they get a bed, they get a diagnosis, they get medication that they start and seem to have a good response to. But the inpatient care is on a time limit. They are released from the hospital with a prescription but no way to buy it. No pharmacy to give it to. They made progress in a building with a bed and air conditioning and food and drink, but now they are back to living unhoused and reliant on shelters which are their own can of worms.

Or let's say an unhoused person is arrested. There are many charges with which to arrest an unhoused person, most of which come down to "being unhoused". Conditions are vile. But they are a shelter, food and drink, and sometimes a level of mental healthcare. They serve their sentence and are released. They have nothing to go back to. They continue to be unhoused. They are repeatedly arrested for being unhoused.

Or, let's look at something else. Someone, housed or not, arrives at the hospital in suicidal crisis. They have 5 days tops, maybe 7 depending where you live, before they are released, as the hospital does not have enough beds for longterm care. Maybe they began receiving therapy. As with the unhoused person with a prescription they can't fill, there's no way to be sure this person will have access to therapy once out.

And these are a very small pinch of outcomes occurring in our modern day, "post" deinstitutionalization world, bc our government is more interested in profit (private prison-industrial complex, skipping out on veteran Healthcare, insurance and/or hospital costs for multiple admission, etc.) Than it is in Healthcare.

Patients continue to be talked over, their consent continues to be violated, especially whenever they are deemed "incompetent." Being deemed incompetent doesn't actually, inherently say a thing to your actual level of awareness over yourself and your actions, but it does say a lot about how badly people in authority over you want to be able to control you. This disproportionately effects those with psychotic disorders, those with developmental disabilities, children, the elderly, the unhoused, and whichever demographics we can medically subjugate for political and financial gain this week. None of the medical abuse has gone away since the Movement began, it's just gotten better at making friends in high places.

Dagger of The Mind aired in 1966, during the second wave of the Deinstitutionalization Movement, which had started to shift that focus from not just the conditions and treatment of those in institutions, but specifically the violation of rights and autonomy for those deemed incompetent.

The episode itself is p clearly a stance on this movement and on our prison system, imo.

And to get back to my initial point with this post, Bones, as a doctor, is critical to the episode's message. He is the one who immediately dislikes institutionalizing those deemed "criminally insane." He is the one who immediately calls bullshit on Dr Adams, and refuses to give Adams back Van Gelder. He believes his patient is telling him the truth as best he can. He fights Kirk on this and forces him to go down and investigate.

There's something of an implication that, yes, he'd been tranq'ing Van Gelder whenever he seemed to get "too agitated," and that's definitely not great. At the same time, again, I can't get over the impact of Bones visibly putting aside his hypo when Van Gelder begs him not to give him the shot again. The Mind meld happens because Van Gelder had been so tortured on Tantalus that he physically could not disclose what he went through on his own.

And I really do need to give a shoutout to Spock in the episode, too. Before initiating the mind meld he literally walks over, asks Van Gelder if he wants to do it, and tells him what will happen as the act takes place. He talks through the sensations with Van Gelder as they happen. His mind meld in the episode is built on his patient's consent.

And just. The contrast between Bones (and Spock) and everyone else with regards to Van Gelder. Helen Noel (legit one of my least favorite characters jfc) in particular just. Out here representing the worst aspects of the field. Even Kirk. Kirk is almost upsettingly ignorant until Bones makes him go down and he insists on doing his job. It was a good call for Kirk, I think; and I do sometimes wish the show had a bit more episode-to-episode continuity if only for the effects of the neural neutralizer + what happens in Requiem for Methuselah like hi fjdjfne.

But yeah idk just. Dagger of The Mind is one of my favorite episodes, bc it remains so specifically timely.

But in terms of Bones, even beyond Dagger of The Mind, we have him in his overdose-induced-mania in City on the Edge of Forever, moving from fascination and excitement to breaking down in tears when he remembers the state of Medicine in the 1930s. Yes, he was specifically crying abt needles but come on fjdjfjdj.

The One with the Whales has him disgusted that we're still using dialysis in the 1980s and giving a random old lady who he doesn't know a pill to regrow her kidney. As much as it is his deepest pain and regret, he did what his father wanted by taking him off life support. Would his father have lasted 2 more weeks? Maybe. But if he could feel anything, it was probably misery. He was in pain every moment he was still alive. There wasn't a cure yet. There wasn't a way to ease his pain. I doubt he had a doctor for a son and didn't know that when he asked his son to stop the pain. The guilt bones feels for not waiting for the cure–he can't know how it would have turned out if he had. We don't know what his dad had. We don't know how long he would've lived after the fact. We know his dad was being kept alive by the biobed. We know he was in pain. We know he repeatedly asked his son to stop the pain. His son did what he could. Maybe in an objective practice of medicine, he ought to have kept his patient alive— as a son, he most likely wanted to keep his dad alive— and yet ultimately he looked at the situation, the pain that prolonging life was causing to his dad, and he did what he thought he had to.

Like. Bones' ethos as a doctor is his dedication to his patients. My man was told to operate on a silicone-based lifeform and figured out a way to do it by himself. He's so awash with guilt in Operation--Annihilate!, not only when Spock is blinded, but also just by the fact that he doesn't know how to help these people in immense pain; he sees Kirk's SIL die from it, sees the pain readings on Spock, knows Kirk's nephew will be in the same pain should he wake up, and he knows that he can't help them or even tell them what to do. Btwn s1 and s2 he familiarized himself with Vulcan anatomy (and if ur hcs swing that way, potentially requested M'Benga, a high-ranking doctor familiar with treating Vulcans, aboard). My guy delivered a baby and was from the drop already on correcting ppl on how to hold the baby properly.

I'm just saying Bones would be a fucking radical in 2022. He lives in a future world where most physical ailments can be cured with a single device. He lives in a post-scarcity future where we don't continue to deprive ppl of readily available resources in the name of profit. His method of care is anchored on his patients as people. He'd be a guy who'd risk being caught drug trafficking to get medication to people who can't afford to buy it/can't afford an appointment with a therapist or psychiatrist to get a prescription/can't afford insurance. He literally did exactly that in movie IV.

Anyway I love Bones.
