The Blank Canvas .....

It was mid-January in the witch’s forest, and after the floods came the sudden cold. It was freezing day and night, and the nymph’s pond was covered with ice. And after the first snowstorm since 3 years, the whole forest was covered with an immaculately white carpet of snow. Everything had gone silent.
But the next day, the sun was finally shining and despite the subzero temperatures, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) decided to take a dive in the nymph’s pond. While making as little noise as possible, they broke the ice and waded into the crystal clear water. Despite the cold, the water felt as pleasant and revitalizing as ever.
Meanwhile, Lalita (the Asian nymph) was already preparing a delicate massage oil in her little cauldron using spices from her home country of Sri Lanka.  She had prepared the oil according to an old ayurvedic recipe which had been passed on from nymph to nymph for over 2500 years.
By the time the massage oil was ready and had cooled down to the ideal temperature, the witches had finished their bath and Hekske lied down on her belly on a comfortable soft bed of moss, waiting for what was about to come.
Given the freezing temperatures, Lalita didn’t waste much time and poured the first few drops of the warm ayurvedic oil on the little witch’s legs, after which she gently rubbed the oil into her soft skin, while the sophisticated scent of cinnamon and cardamom spread through the forest.  The massage oil quickly warmed up her feet and legs, until her whole body was glowing while her mind slowly drifted away in a state of deep relaxation. 
Strangely, the air on her skin gradually changed from ice-cold to tropically hot. And the quiet winter forest was suddenly lush and green and bustling with life. The little witch listened to a spellbinding concert of unknown song birds, like the yigüirro and the quetzal. And in the distance she heard the calming sound of the Nauyaca Waterfall. This place felt like a true garden of Eden.
Meanwhile the massage was still going on, deeper and more soothing than ever. While still keeping her eyes closed, Hekske was trying to figure out who was massaging her now. She tuned in to the energy field of the man who was giving her the massage. Never before had she felt so many different layers of energy, each layer deeper and more sophisticated than the previous one. Finally she connected with the purest energy she had ever felt, while her whole body and soul drifted towards complete ecstasy. This massage touched her to the deepest part of her soul …

Witchtape #163 | Guest Wizz : Josy5

That day, Hekske (the little witch) got a rude awakening well before dawn when a snow flake landed straight on her face, while the wind was howling through the dark forest.  Falke (the 10 year-old witch apprentice) had once again snuggled under the moss blanket of the witch to keep warm and dry.  The winter had been mild up to then, but on that day the harsh winter weather had finally arrived. The outdoors life of a witch is full of beautiful and rewarding moments, but on mornings like these, even the toughest witch can sometimes be yearning for a warmer and drier place.
A little later, both girls were sipping from a warm cup of herbal tea and their morning mood brightened up considerably when they realized it was the new moon day, which meant it was the day of their monthly trip outside the witch’s forest.  They waited for the rain and wind to abate a bit, after which they took off and headed towards the east.  They had no idea where they were going to and were just following their inner compass.  It was a pretty easy flight with the girls benefiting from the strong tail wind and one hour later they reached Limburg, the easternmost province of Flanders with its breathtaking landscapes of orchards and lush forests. Today the place was even more beautiful than ever with its cover of immaculately white snow. After a while, the witches saw a girl waving at them from a heath field below them. As the girl was wearing a long white dress and walking barefoot, she was obviously a witch. Hekske and Falke touched down gently, where they got a warm welcome by the girl and her guard wolf. The girl was very young, but her long red hair and mesmerizing green eyes showed that she already was a powerful witch. After a long and tearful welcome hug with the witch, Hekske and Falke cuddled and hugged the wolf. The warm and fluffy feeling of a wolf is one of the most wonderful feelings a witch can get. 
This was a very special day for the girl as it was the very first time that she met other witches. They decided to go for a walk in the snow-covered heath field, which was dotted by several small meres (shallow ponds). The wolf was in a frisky mood and was playing in the snow all the time. The young witch explained that the wolf had left his pack to take care of her when she was still a child. Wolves are known to be the most faithful and trustworthy companions for witches. The bond between the wolf and witch was obviously very deep and soul-touching. 
Normally witches do a lot of mystic ceremonies, but on that day they decided just to have some fun and walk around this spellbinding winterscape. And at the end of the day, they gave a last hug to each other (including a fluffy hug to the wolf) and promised to visit them again next spring, when the heath will be in full bloom …

Witchtape #183 | Guest Wizz : ∆ N D ∆ R ∆

Caspar David Friedrich’s Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (c. 1818) remains one of the most recognized images of German Romanticism. The painting shows a lone figure standing on a rocky peak, his back to the viewer, overlooking a fog-shrouded mountain landscape. The scene does not illustrate a specific myth or narrative. Instead, it presents a silent moment of reflection, rich with symbolic and psychological meaning.

The central figure dressed in dark attire and holding a walking stick appears calm and composed, yet his placement at the edge of the precipice suggests both authority and uncertainty. With his face turned away, the figure does not guide the viewer but instead becomes a proxy, inviting us to share his perspective.

Friedrich’s technique emphasizes contrast. The rocks in the foreground are rendered with sharp clarity, anchoring the viewer’s gaze. Behind, the fog obscures the terrain, blurring forms and creating an undefined depth. This visual tension between precision and ambiguity gives the painting its enduring impact.

The Rückenfigur motif a figure viewed from behind was one of Friedrich’s key compositional tools. It opens a contemplative space, encouraging viewers to look outward and inward simultaneously. Rather than offer narrative content, the painting functions as a metaphor for introspection and the limits of perception.

Created during a period of significant philosophical and cultural change in Europe, the work reflects contemporary concerns about the individual’s relationship with nature, knowledge, and the unknown. Unlike traditional landscapes that framed nature as a backdrop, Friedrich presented it as sublime, overwhelming, and ultimately unknowable. The fog here is not just meteorological it stands for mystery and the vastness of what lies beyond human understanding.

On this episode of MuséeCast, Loux delivers a refined and introspective set that explores rhythmic minimalism and tonal layering. Prioritizing space and subtle development, the mix draws from deep house, minimal, and experimental electronic music, offering a sustained and cohesive listening experience.

The set opens with sparse percussive patterns and gradually builds complexity without abrupt shifts. Each track is allowed to evolve naturally, contributing to a flow marked by restraint and clarity. Rather than relying on overt peaks, Loux structures the episode through gradual shifts in rhythm and texture.

Transitions are seamless yet unobtrusive. The sound palette remains consistent, emphasizing immersion over contrast. There is minimal use of vocals, which allows the rhythmic and tonal elements to remain in focus. The overall experience favors atmosphere and long-form listening over dramatic structure.

This episode aligns with Le Musée Podcast’s curatorial aim of exploring sound as an emotional and spatial medium. Loux offers a set that bridges contemplative soundscapes and club sensibility—quietly structured, thoughtfully paced, and open to interpretation.

I had the great privilege and joy to be invited by Maaje @maaje_music and Kandilari @kandilari to open the dancefloor at Château Perché on what surely is one of the most gorgeous stage I ever seen!
No kidding... it was simply mesmerizing.
The Mirador de l'Amor was meticulously and flawlessly crafted by Rêve Général @revegeneralcollectif and Anwesend, and I couldn't be more honored to play on such a stage, that can rightfully be called a piece of art.
So THANKS to everyone from the crews for this opportunity and CONGRATS for the amazing work!
It was such a blast!

Hope you'll enjoy the music!
Love & good vibes

Der Jungbrunnen ⛲ soy

Beyond Thought

A hypnotic melodic techno house journey born where waves meet city lights. Bosporus Nights captures the pulse of Istanbul after dark — the shimmer of reflections on water, the slow burn of rhythm under moonlit bridges, the echo of luxury and freedom intertwined.

Soft whispers drift through the mix — “Dance with me in Istanbul Bosporus…” — repeated like a mantra, dissolving into reverb and tide. Deep bass pulses rise from the depths, analog arps shimmer like skyline lights, and every beat feels like a slow breath between sea and soul.

This is not just a track; it’s an invitation.
Lose yourself in motion, find yourself in rhythm — beneath the stars, beside the water, where time forgets to move.

🎚 Genre: Melodic Techno / Deep House
🌌 Mood: Hypnotic, cinematic, euphoric
🎧 For: Late-night drives, waterfront clubs, sunset sets
⏱ Tempo: ~122 BPM

Bosporus Nights

Die Umhüllende Anordnung

Witches are the guardians of the forests.  We're not evil or dark, just a bit shy.  And even surprisingly sweet and kind... as long as you respect the forest.

Art project of Hekske ('Little Witch' in my native Flemish language).
Founded on the 22nd of January 2017
