Eight World – Lament Over the Cosmic Egg by Ernst Fuchs (1947) one of the earliest significant works by Austrian painter Ernst. Only 17 years old at the time, Fuchs had recently enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he was studying under Professor Albert Paris Gütersloh. The painting reflects a remarkable level of technical skill and philosophical depth for such a young artist, offering a glimpse into the symbolic and spiritual vision that would later define Fuchs' mature style.

Rendered in a mixed technique of tempera and oil glaze on wood, this work exemplifies the early stylistic foundation of what would later become known as the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism a post-war artistic movement cofounded by Fuchs in the 1950s alongside artists such as Arik Brauer, Wolfgang Hutter, Rudolf Hausner, and Anton Lehmden. This group sought to combine the classical painting techniques of the Old Masters with surreal and symbolic imagery that explored dreams, metaphysics, and the unconscious.

The composition of Eight World – Lament Over the Cosmic Egg is visually structured and allegorically rich. It is centered around the image of a cosmic egg, a symbol found in many ancient mythologies representing the origin of the universe, the birth of life, or the fusion of matter and spirit. In this painting, the egg appears as a glowing central form, flanked symmetrically by two elongated, ethereal female figures, whose posture and expressions contribute to an atmosphere of solemnity and mystery. The background is divided into three horizontal zones: a dark, watery lower realm; a middle space filled with abstract, flesh-like or geometric forms; and a luminous upper sky, possibly signifying a spiritual or transcendent plane.

The painting’s meticulous glazing technique, inherited from Flemish and Renaissance traditions, creates a jewel-like surface that enhances the dreamlike quality of the image. Fuchs was known for reviving and mastering these older methods to heighten the spiritual intensity of his subjects. His early fascination with sacred art, biblical themes, and medieval iconography is already evident here, woven into an original visual language that would later be recognized as central to his oeuvre.

Fuchs’ lifelong engagement with spiritual philosophy, esotericism, and sacred geometry would later become central to his vast body of work, including paintings, stained glass, architectural design, and religious sculpture. Eight World – Lament Over the Cosmic Egg is thus not only a powerful standalone piece but also a formative step in a career devoted to the mystical possibilities of art.

Fuchs continued to develop this visionary aesthetic throughout the 20th century, eventually gaining international acclaim. He died in 2015 in Vienna, leaving behind a legacy that fused classical craftsmanship with surreal imagination and spiritual inquiry.

For this special MuséeCast session, Octave Marbot the DJ and producer from Kaiserslautern (hertzmusic) takes on the role of your trusted tripsitter through the electronic underground. Since 1999, he has been navigating the audio galaxies to bring the sound of the universe to the dancefloor. With a deep-rooted passion for transcendental frequencies, Marbot crafts an experience that is more than just a set; it is a guided journey through states of mind and space.

Drawing from mystical and psychedelic sounds sourced from all corners of the world and beyond his set fuses hypnotic basslines, percussive grooves, spacey synth riffs, and a subtle infusion of acid and trance. The result is an atmospheric ascent into cosmic spheres, where sound becomes light and rhythm becomes gravity. Just as the energy peaks, he gently brings the listener back down, landing softly on the edge of the inner world.

We all know this moment, you are lying in bed with a loved one and the world stands still.

You put on some music to set the scene for rising temperatures under the sheets…

The set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect Sunday morning sets for quite a while already and while "Eigentlich heissen wir Klaus" & "Mattmosphere" have been steady suppliers of them for us, we also developed the idea of asking befriended artists to record one hour of music, to which they like to stay in bed with a loved one.

It's an intimate ask, but most of them said yes.

For Cuddle Cast #34 we asked @bretfast from the beautiful Taunus region to create a journey for us and he made the perfect trip for sunny summer Sundays in bed. 

So grab your special person, get cosy, press play and be ready to let the love birds fly.

A long-overdue descent into the shadows, this deep, dark electronic downtempo journey is a sonic tapestry woven for the matured listener who finds comfort in the slow burn of melancholy and the pulse of the underground. Alternative in essence, yet grounded in a haunting melodic techno framework, each track unfolds like a secret whispered in smoke—brooding, beautiful, and immersive. It’s music for the late hours, for those who crave depth over drop, mood over mayhem—a release finally surfacing to echo the darkness within and the calm that follows.

Upside Down

After a gentle summer pause, we’re back to present you with downtempo excellence.
And wow, we’re really thrilled to share a set as classy as this one.

No surprise here, yet still managing to amaze us, ECKRT delivers a set that’s eclectic all the way, mixed with grace and fine detail.
But the story side of it, that turns three hours into a true masterclass in Octopus Downtempo DJing... Just perfect.

Some words carry entire lifetimes within them. Usasrulod is one of them, a Georgian expression meaning “forever”: to love someone forever, to dance with them forever, to walk with them through eternity.
In their remix, ZEITREICH, the Austrian-born duo whose creative bond was forged under the magic skies of Ibiza, breathe new life into Ninshū’s original. The result is a melodic, atmospheric journey where deep, pulsing rhythms meet live improvisation, flute, and percussion. It’s music that flows like the white isle’s night air, warm, hypnotic, and alive with possibility.
Known for their seamless B2B DJ sets and ever-evolving live performances, ZEITREICH crafts this version as both a love letter and a dancefloor meditation. It’s a track for those moments when time dissolves, the crowd moves as one, and “forever” feels real.
🎧 Usasrulod (ZEITREICH Remix) Out soon on La Perle Records.

With his latest release Waves, Sonnero invites us into a soundscape rooted in nature, emotion, and movement. Released via Harabe Lab, this two-track EP reflects the artist’s deep connection to ancestral stories and the introspective human journey.

The opening track, “Waves”, is a collaboration with Different Stage, blending warm, organic textures with flowing, rhythmic energy. It's a piece that feels like a walk through untouched landscapes, grounding, yet uplifting. The fusion of natural sounds and danceable beats creates a meditative yet dynamic experience, equally fit for deep listening and movement.

The second track, “Unukalhay”, showcases Sonnero’s solo storytelling. Named after a mysterious star, the track carries a celestial vibe, reflective, calm, yet pulsing with subtle intensity. It’s a sonic expression of stillness in motion, designed to both soothe the soul and move the body.

Waves is more than just an EP, it’s a musical journey that bridges the organic and the electronic, the ancient and the now. A perfect blend of earthy sounds and dancefloor-ready energy.
