Sebuah gambaran akan mimpi buruk yang mungkin tidak akan menggerogoti jiwa kita dengan keresahan atau ketakutan setelah ‘bangun’ darinya. Namun, mimpi buruk tersebut hanya akan membuat kita berpikir dan bahkan terinspirasi. Melalui perilisan terbarunya "Hidup di Mimpi Buruk," Matter Mos mencoba menyuguhkan audiens dengan eksplorasi pribadinya mengenai mimpi buruk.
Yang bisa dikatakan unik dari hasil eksplorasi Matter Mos ini adalah interpretasinya akan mimpi buruk terinspirasi dari lukisan Guernica karya Pablo Picasso. Guernica sendiri adalah sebuah ilustrasi tentang kehancuran dan kekacauan dan gambaran akan kehidupan hari ini. Best Crypto Casino .

Setiap musisi memerlukan wadah untuk menyalurkan hasrat kreatifnya di luar proyek utama yang sedang dijalani. Selain untuk mencegah kebosanan akut karena bertemu dengan pola itu-itu saja, juga untuk memacu daya inovasi bersangkutan ke titik yang tidak pernah dibayangkan sebelumnya. Alhasil, banyak musisi yang membentuk proyek sampingan untuk sebatas bersenang-senang, mencari sisi lain, atau mungkin meneruskan keseriusan.
Hal tersebut rupanya dipahami betul oleh Francois J. Bonnet; musisi multitalenta asal Prancis yang dikenal sebagai pemegang kendali artistik Groupe De Recherches Musicales. Memanfaatkan momentum dan waktunya di luar proyek utama, ia merilis tiga buah komposisi (“Edelweiss”, “Glass Flowers”, serta “Oread”) yang menandai kemunculan album berikutnya.
Dalam proses kreatifnya, Bonnet menggunakan identitas pseudonym Kassel Jaeger. Sebelumnya ia tercatat sudah menelurkan seri album berjudul Fragments yang terdiri atas Fragments – Collected Sounds from Deserted Places, Fragments II – Collected Refrains from Lost Thought, dan satu lagi bakal dilepas di tahun 2018. Ketiga rilisan tersebut hanya dipublikasikan secara digital.
Komposisi yang diciptakan Bonnet merupakan lanskap penuh perenungan. Ia membangun nuansa kosong, sepi, kemudian mengisinya dengan melodi abstrak. Kekuatannya adalah keheningan-keheningan yang saling bergelantungan. Tak ada batasan, tak ada penyekat. Hanya Bonnet dan hantu-hantu bebunyian yang berpacu untuk disatukan di kepalanya.
Dibentuk pada tahun 2004, Beach House perlahan menapaki jalan keberhasilan yang teratur. Duo yang digawangi oleh Victoria Legrand dan Alex Scally ini bisa dibilang konsisten dalam merilis karya. Jika Anda perhatikan sejak 2006—katakanlah tiap dua tahun sekali—mereka pasti mengeluarkan album; mulai dari Beach House (2006), Devotion (2008), Teen Dream (2010), Bloom (2012), hingga Depression Cherry serta Thank Your Lucky Stars yang dilepas bersamaan di 2015.
Hampir keseluruhan album mendapatkan respon positif; kecuali Bloom yang agak kehilangan arah dan beruntung diselamatkan hadirnya track bernilai tinggi macam “The Hours” atau “Other People.” Tak kaget memang karena Beach House senantiasa berpegang teguh pada prinsip mematenkan dream pop yang elegan dan tak tergoda memindahkan haluan genre untuk sebatas menjustifikasi kemampuan.
Sampai akhirnya di tahun 2017, mereka kembali mengeluarkan rilisan dalam bentuk kompilasi bertajuk B-Side and Rarities yang rencananya dipublikasikan 30 Juni mendatang. Terdapat sepasang komposisi baru yang salah satunya berjudul “Chariot.” Bagian menarik, dalam video musik “Chariot”, Beach House mengangkat montase mengenai keluarga Kennedy dan pelbagai footage perjalanan dinas maupun rekreasi presiden fenomenal Amerika Serikat tersebut.
Vokal Victoria memenuhi ruang imajinasi dengan pengaturan loop yang sedemikian rupa. Ritme berjalan lambat seolah The Beach House menyediakan waktu kepada penonton untuk menyaksikan babak demi babak seorang Kennedy. Pelan, pelan, dan pelan layaknya cerita pengantar tidur yang dipaparkan malam hari. Tanpa kita sadari, di bawah atap gedung sinema dan layar proyektor, Beach House berhasil menyentuh sisi emosional perihal kehilangan.
The debut collaboration between Christopher Bailey of Burberry and Gosha Rubchinskiy, whose label is owned by Comme des Garcons may be the fresh new step Burberry needs. Referring to the dilution the brand has been suffering from for a significant period of time now, with Burberry’s signature pattern being ‘stolen’ by many other productions and becoming printed in various objects, including Burberry frauds.
This collaboration may be witnessed as ‘classic meets modern’, where modern everyday vibe channeled through Rubchinskiy’s street wears mixes with Burberry’s British classic, somewhat conservative signature tone. It may also be seen as a fashion ‘catch-up’, where yesterday’s fashion trends meet today’s newest contemporaries. Lastly, it may be seen as how fashion is merely a huge and developing loop, in which pieces of style from time to time not only experience developments but also comebacks.
Maybe in our reality today, the thought of entering a world without capitalism becomes outrageous, ridiculous even. But the mere thought and wonder of what the world would actually be like without it is just what the Museum of Capitalism in Oakland, California is trying to evoke through its exhibitions. Regarding the mission of the museum itself, its statement is the following, “Much of the evidence of capitalism is either eroding over time or simply not known or easily accessible to the public. Our ambition is to connect and integrate these many efforts before the evidence is erased forever.”
The establishment of the museum perhaps is heavily influenced by a statement from British political theorist Alex Callinicos, who suggested that one day there would be a museum to memorialize capitalism, just as we have museums of apartheid and communism today while speaking on a panel. By touring the museum, visitors may find thought-evoking installations regarding the current world’s primary economic system. Take for instance an interactive installation by Christy Chow (a Hong Kong artist) where visitors are given glimpses of the step-by-step process of garment assembling in a Chinese factory through a video while they run on a treadmill. Another installation is a massive piece of steel container as part of a sculpture by Gabby Miller (a Vietnamese-American artist). The message behind the installation is to remind visitors how container ship shipments from Oakland to Vietnam played a huge role during the Vietnam War.
The main idea of the museum is to simply make capitalism recognizable to the visitors. According to the curators, nowadays capitalism is so often performed that it becomes ubiquitous and invisible. And apparently ironically, the only way to make people aware of the fact is by presenting the possibilities of a world without it.
