First Watch: Gem Club, ‘Twins’

written by

If you’re looking for something to put you into a meditative — if not necessarily peaceful — state of mind, look no further. The new video for Gem Club’s gorgeous piano ballad, “Twins,” is it.
Christopher Barnes and Kristen Drymala, who make up the Massachusetts dream-pop band, recruited the help of director BriAnna Olson to create a beautiful and haunting piece of art.
Visually, the video focuses on the careful movements of two nude dancers. But it’s much more than that. Their bodies fuzzed out and bathed in soft waves of shadow and light, the man and woman’s interaction evokes the many stages of a relationship, from the first tender moments of discovery to those of crackling frustration, easy laughter or silent intimacy. “I want to lie still near you, near you,” Barnes sings. That line seems to say it all. What remains is the inescapable magnetism between two human beings.
Watch the raw and captivating video here:
Be advised, this video contains nudity.

 
Christoper Barnes and director BriAnna Olson filled us in on the emotions and creative process behind the piece:
Christopher Barnes:

This was one of the first songs that was written for the album, and is the result of two different ideas that were eventually merged into one. The instrumentation was finished before the lyrics were, which is not typical of the way that I write. I think it made me focus more closely on the narrative, which is about the different stages of a relationship — longing, commitment, uncertainty.
I don’t provide Bri with any context or background on the songs that she selects to work with, and in general I prefer not to explain the lyrics too much. The videos she has created for us in the past have always been a compelling visual counterpoint or interpretation of the music, whereas with “Twins” the outcome felt very serendipitous, more like a marriage.

Director BriAnna Olson:

The instant I heard Christopher’s voice, performing at Cloud Club in Boston, I knew our partnership was inevitable — there was just this resonance that cut right through me in a way that might as well have been a banner that read, “Welcome Home.” Likewise, my creative relationships with featured performers Eva Perrotta and Michael Pope hold an endless potential and magnetism that seems to pull us together as contemporaries in New York City. This sets the stage for the video. There are the times you can be blindsided by someone new in ways that seem beyond anything speakable. Suddenly, you’re purging these emotions as you’re faced with feeling exposed and vulnerable and falling, willfully or not, into the immense amount of intimacy you were born to share.

Rin Tin Tin: From Battlefield To Hollywood, A Story Of Friendship

written by

The story of how Rin Tin Tin became one of the most celebrated animals in film history is almost as Hollywood-tinged as cinema itself.
The short version: Lee Duncan, an American serviceman during World War I, found a mostly destroyed dog kennel right on the field of battle. Duncan rescued the pup who became Rin Tin Tin, brought him home to California, and later put him in the movies.
Author Susan Orlean’s new book, Rin Tin Tin: The Life And The Legend, traces the history of Duncan and “Rinty,” as Duncan called him, exploring both the career of a very famous dog and the relationship he shared with the owner who both adored him as a pet and turned him into a very profitable business. On Weekend Edition Saturday, Orlean talks to Scott Simon about some of what she discovered in researching this unusual partnership between a man and his dog.
It wasn’t a coincidence, she says, that Duncan was the one to rescue a pup who had no one; he had spent five years in an orphanage himself as a child. Even when the same mother who had left him there came back to get him, she took him to live with her parents on an isolated property with no other kids around. He did, however, get a dog. So perhaps it’s no surprise that later, on the field of battle, surrounded by the death of the war, Duncan once again got a dog.

And not just any dog, Orlean argues, but an actor — one who, in the silent era where no one could speak, was on par with human actors. She uses Clash Of The Wolves — the film Scott Simon calls “his Hamlet” — to point out that in addition to being a fine action star and athlete, Rin Tin Tin had a face that was “immensely expressive.” The film required Rinty to play scenes in which his character, if it can be called that, believes himself to be leaving his pack to die. “You’re really affected by the look on his face and his performance,” she says.
But whatever you believe about whether a dog can act, Rin Tin Tin shared one critical quality with the human actors of his time: He could not live forever. But after he was gone, Duncan was determined to keep the legacy alive, and would give Rinty’s progeny to people who told him they’d always dreamed of having a dog just like him.

The death of this particular dog set off a national response: there was a news bulletin that interrupted regular programming, and the next day, there was an hourlong broadcast about Rin Tin Tin that played across the country. What’s more, rumors flew about the precise circumstances in which the dog died, perhaps even that he died in the arms of Jean Harlow. Orlean says Rin Tin Tin’s death, in this way, was “just like every other Hollywood death; much legend surrounded it.”
Duncan wrote a poem called “Rin Tin Tin,” which captures some of what he admired so much about his dog. It’s reproduced here as it appears in the original, which you will see in a photo below.
Alert and ready for my slightest word,Rin Tin Tin I so often watch you stand;Eager to serve me for that high reward-A smile, or just a light touch of my hand.
Deaf to allurements of those standing bywhen I am near, and deaf when I’m away.Forever overjoyed at my returnHowever brief or lengthy is my stay.
Believing in me always, tho I fail,Your trust you gave but once, and that to me.Your’s are the qualities that men hold high,Strength and pride and love and loyalty.
Wherever led my path you’d walk my way.And gladly give your life my own to save.Enduring pain and hunger, heat and cold-And broken hearted die upon my grave.
A real unselfish love like yours, old pal,Is something I shall never know again;And I must always be a better man,Because you loved me greatly, Rin Tin Tin.
