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 is show business, or how the hell to get saved from it. This one is a view on electronic music which is not electronic music. This is a colage of MIDI kicks and recorded guitars, acoustic drums and software synths, chopped ridiculous vocals and sweet poems. It will be played in underground festivals for crazy hippies, while the artist gets payed with cold vegan burritos you eat just after the rain. This is not generated by Chat, it's not adapted for streaming playlists, does not follow the fashion, it's simply not fit for purpose. So please enjoy the last moments of real music, before the AI noise busts our brains away.

a hakïm & house 🏠 tale 📖, pt. 1

📼: getting in touch with my house 🏠 

⏮️ rewinding exactly 19 years ago, the love for electronic music was brewing, he was listening to lots of trance, early house records from cds 💿, some state of trance, and bunch of ministry of sound cds, some given to him by friends, others bought online or at music stores while traveling in the summers...

…but not until something happened with house 🏠, it was a turning point to his house music discovery journey…

the remainder of the story to be continued in pt. 2 of the tale 📖 accompanied by the next mix 📼

in the meantime, i hope you enjoy the this house music as much as i did curating it ❤︎ 

see you in the next tale/mix ❤︎

happy listening ❤︎

getting in touch with my house 🏠

a compilation as a way to hold a state: between pulse and noise, architecture and instinct.
everything creaks, breathes, folds and stretches — no need to explain.
the tracks are laid out like a route map no one’s obliged to follow.
not a goal, but a presence. not an answer, but an echo.

PREMIERE: Papfay -  Chemin d´ivoire (skarú Remix) [ Slow Punchhh ]

Release Title: Chemin d´ivoire
Artist: Papfay
Remixer: skarú

Papfay – Chemin d’Ivoir
With Chemin d’Ivoir, Papfay presents a lovingly crafted mini-album that oscillates between introspective electronica and subtle club melancholy. Two original tracks form the emotional core of the release, complemented by four remixes that expand the sound without losing sight of its essence.
The title track, “Chemin d’ivoir”, unfolds in patient layers – a piece like a slow-moving river, carried by shimmering textures, delicate harmonies, and a profound sense of space. The atmosphere emerges here through restraint.
“Come Upstairs” picks up the thread but moves in a bolder direction: more rhythmic, edgier, yet no less emotional. The drums dance lightly while the harmonic structure shifts between warmth and unease – a track for late nights and meandering thoughts.
The remixes serve as distinct reinterpretations of the originals:
Der EVA infuses Chemin d’ivoir with glitchy, fragmented acid and rich textures.
Jan Tenner takes a more organic approach, playing with dubby depth and great bassline..
Olendo reshapes Come Upstairs with club-ready precision and techno-tinged tension.
skarú, on the other hand, turns the track into something almost ambient – spacious and intricately detailed.
Chemin d’Ivoir is an invitation to listen with open ears. Layered, finely drawn, and full of quiet intensity.

Mirzay / downtempo, baby / # 76

It was the full moon day of August, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. After some good rains during the last few weeks (ending a long dry spell), the forest was fresh and green once again, and summer flowers were blooming everywhere. There were even some penny buns popping up at the foot of some trees.
Normally, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the witch apprentice) always fly to a witch coven on all full moon days. But strangely, they didn’t feel any urge to fly on that sunny day. It was clearly a sign that mother earth wanted the witches to celebrate the full moon in their home forest. The girls decided to visit Lalita, the nymph who is protecting the little oak tree which is destined to become the future mother tree of the forest. 
The witches always love to listen to the stories of Lalita’s epic 3-year journey from the rainforest of the Malay peninsula all the way to this forest in Flanders. This time she told many stories about her long odyssey through the Arabian desert, wandering from oasis to oasis and especially savoring the stunning starry skies every night. 
The witches were so spellbound by Lalita’s stories, that they hadn’t noticed that the sun was already going down. It was high time for their evening bath in the nymph’s pond, which was dug by the clan of badgers who live in a circular sett underneath the future mother tree. As tree nymphs never go further than 300 steps away from the tree they are protecting, the forest animals have done their best to make Lalita’s life as comfortable as possible.
The girls slipped out of their immaculately white dresses and waded into the cool water. It is always a lovely sight to see Falke’s shiny blond hair, Hekske’s long brown hair and Lalita’s raven black hair just above the mirror-like water surface, before dipping under water.
When they resurfaced a few minutes later, Falke spotted the rising moon over the Southeastern horizon. The girls were instantly spellbound, as the silver white moon was brighter and clearer than ever. It made Lalita think back to the sultry starry nights in the middle of the Arabian deserts. 
The girls dipped under water again and lazily floated around, until they noticed that the moon was hovering above their heads. The soft light was reflecting in Falke’s blue, Hekske’s green and Lalita’s dark brown eyes. The moon descended even further, until she was hanging just one foot above the water surface, right in the middle of the 3 girls. They had never seen the moon from this close, and it felt as if they were floating in space, surrounded by the moon, the planets and the milky way. They lost all sense of space and time and just felt the strong and loving energy of the universe. The girls were so mesmerized that it was impossible to tell whether this precious moment lasted for minutes or hours.
After what seemed like an eternity, the girls slowly returned to their senses and felt the water touching their skin again. When they opened their eyes, they saw they were back in the nymph’s pond. And the moon? She was back in the sky again, shining brightly with a soft silver-white light and getting ready for a new cycle …
