Santiago El Grande by Salvador Dalí (1957) is a masterful oil-on-canvas that stands as a resounding emblem of his “nuclear mysticism” phase. The composition features Saint James the Great, the patron saint of Spain, rearing triumphantly from the sea atop a white stallion, gripping an oversized crucifix an image both heroic and mystical. From a four-petalled jasmine flower a symbol of purity and one of Dalí’s personal favorites an atomic explosion erupts, propelling the supernatural tableau skyward, merging religious reverence with scientific wonder. Framing this ascension is a ribbed, cathedral-vault-like tracery that fans out in a celestial canopy, referencing Gothic pilgrimage architecture and specifically alluding to the Camino de Santiago and the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The saint’s harness is adorned with scallop shells a nod to the pilgrimage tradition while the prominent bare foot, modeled on Dalí’s own, symbolizes the common pilgrim, Everyman, on a spiritual journey. Gazing contemplatively from the lower right is a small, veiled figure possibly the Virgin Mary or the artist’s muse, Gala adding a quiet, human presence to the dramatic scene. Further complexity emerges in the partial transparency of some figures, the foreshortened forms that enhance three dimensionality, and subtle details like angels embedded within the horse’s anatomy. Originally intended for the Spanish pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (and perhaps as an altarpiece for the Escorial), the painting was ultimately acquired by Lady Dunn and donated to the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Its inaugural public exhibition took place in New York in 1958 at M. Knoedler & Co., and it later featured in the “Salvador Dalí: The Late Work” exhibition at Atlanta's High Museum of Art in 2010–11.

This rich fusion of devotional imagery, geometric form, personal symbolism, and atomic-age sensibility cements Santiago El Grande as one of Dalí’s most profound and visually arresting statements where the sacred, the scientific, and the surreal all converge in a dramatic, transcendent vision.

I’m excited to share something special on MuséeCast an extended 4-hour set from Dust Ritual, the creator of the podcast. Known for building long, evolving journeys through sound, this set dives deeper than ever, unfolding layer by layer with shifting moods, subtle textures, and moments that draw you in and hold you there. Over the course of four hours, I let the music breathe and expand, creating space for both quiet reflection and powerful release. For me, it’s more than just a set it’s a narrative in sound, a reminder of why I started MuséeCast in the first place: to explore music not as background, but as an experience, something lived and shared. Some journeys are meant to be walked alone, others in silence, but this one carries echoes of a companion who’s been with me all along. Happy Friday :)

This mix blends bouncy beats and housy vibes with a touch of mystery. @feliks and @skaruu play with contrasts and transitions, shifting between direct energy and subtle tension. The result is a mix that moves somewhere between intensity and atmosphere – between two poles, two perspectives. But still in mind unsevered.

We welcome Aka-Tony for our seventh episode of NatureTempo.

Tony is a musical storyteller shaped by depth, not algorithms. Raised in Zurich and mentored early by his handicapped uncle - a passionate audiophile who taught him to listen long before he learned to play - Tony discovered the emotional architecture behind sound while other kids chased melodies.

What began as a quiet obsession turned into a lifelong pursuit of tension, release, and the frequencies between. As an aficionado of underground culture, aka-Tony avoids the obvious. His sets are sculpted narratives—textural, cerebral, raw—spanning dubby margins, broken rhythms, and hypnotic progressions that reward the deep listener and the relentless dancer alike.

No gimmicks, no crowd-pleasing shortcuts. Just rare grooves, long blends, and a precise sense of timing that comes only from years in the booth and countless nights immersed in sonic detail.

Playing regularly across Zurich and Berlin, and hosting two podcast series, aka-Tony is part of a quiet resistance in electronic music—where taste still matters, and curation is a form of care.

Der KataHaifisch Podcast von Idonis beginnt wie ein Märchen aus Tausendundeiner Nacht. Man kann den Sand auf der Zunge und die Sonne auf der Haut förmlich spüren. Wie eine Karawane zieht das Set durch das Bewusstsein des geneigten Hörers. Mit der Zeit und den verstreichenden Minuten, wird die Komposition leicht fast schwerelos. Idonis bleibt seiner Linie treu und setzt dennoch noch einen drauf.

Wir sind begeistert und sagen 🙏

KataHaifisch Podcast 440 - Idonis

I had such an amazing time this year at Chateau Perché during our Crépite. showcase. 

It is always really a pleasure and honour to play in France. 
I love how the crowd is living, interactive and joyful. Especially this time I was surrounded by many old friends and new friends. 
It was a blast <3  

This is a festival set for a night slot, with a rather high energy and mostly above 115bpm. The first part is softer and showcases some of our Crépite. catalog and the second hour goes a bit wilder. As in most of my sets, there are overall a lot of subgenres represented in this mix and I am so glad that this type of set received such a positive reaction <3

Even the 5 minutes sound cut right in the middle of my set didn't kill the vibe. Everyone stayed and it was even more boiling when it started again. 
Even the unexpected twist turned out to be a fun moment :) 


The stage by Reve General & Das Anwesend was so beautiful! 
Thank you so much for creating such a perfect place to share our music. 

Big thanks also goes to Chateau Perche orga for a really nice production and especially to Enrico !

Playing at Garbicz was a big dream I've had since my the first time I attended it back in 2019. So there was so much fiery yet patient passion in me lounging to be expressed in this debut set. At the same time, I have felt the collective burden SO much given all the unacceptable atrocities going on in many places in the world...

A lesson my therapist has helped me to navigate it: the price we pay for suppressing a certain emotion is that we end up suppressing ALL of our emotions.

Let that sink in for a moment...

The joy I felt was not "despite" everything happening in the world, but rather In Acknowledgement and Recognition of it, with all the emotions it evokes. It was the only way I found to honor the blessing of living this dream authentically. That’s why this became one of my most powerful sets.

Nina Simone once said: “An artist’s duty is to reflect the times.” And this set truly did! It was a proper blast with many of my favorite tracks AND, at the same time, a prayer filled with powerful messages and (indigenous) wisdom to guide us through the times we are living.

Thank you to Garbicz for having me, especially to @lichtung_garbicz and to everything it Stands for. Also big gratitude to every friend and dancer who waited through delays, woke up early, or stepped out of their tents to join me at @alisteebar. Your fiery energy is woven into the recording 🔥 And to those who shed tears during or after — I feel you. I cried twice while preparing this set myself.

May it uplift us to meet the responsibility that comes with privileges. May it remind us of the power of our daily choices. May it spark peace, unity, and positive change in a fractured world. Because we are truly strong only when we stand together! And I deeply believe in the connective Power of Music to help us get there 🫶🏼
