Sending us the first love notes from spring early february gave us a short glimpse of the warmer seasons. Though winter is now pushing us back into our cozy living rooms, @madmoiselle_myrna managed to catch some of the first warm sun rays of the year. Nimbly she cooped them up into a beautiful journey of soft synthesizers, deep melodies and a  cover of dreams. ✨

If you're enjoying some me time, treating yourself to a bubbly bath with a rather big piece of cake or looking for shelter in the warmth comfort of your friends companionship, this is the perfect soundtrack to hibernate through the last days of winter! ❄️

Three bubbly questions for Madmoiselle:

🌷 What's the best piece of advice you've ever received, and how has it influenced your life?

„You grow with your tasks and responsibilities.“

It helped me not being scared of new situations, not trying to do everything perfectly and going with my gut feeling. And keeping in mind: it will get easier. 🌷

🌷 What are you proud of accomplishing in 2023?

Becoming a mum 🤱🏼

🌷 What's a personal goal you're working toward in 2024?

Being part of the festival season for the first time since I am a DJ and making the best out of this first summer as a family.

❂ The Rhythm of the Journey

➳ A winding path through misty light,
Where ocean waves stay soft in sight.
Golden hues in skies unfold,
A journey calling, brave and bold.

➳ One step, then doubt begins to rise,
Like shifting tides beneath the skies.
Yet palm trees sway with steady grace,
Reminding hearts to trust the pace.

➳ The road curves on, unknown, yet free,
With whispers from the land and sea.
Not all is ours to shape or steer,
And that’s the joy—adventure near.

➳ Through grassy sands and hills untold,
Through warmth and winds both fierce and cold,
We walk, we pause, we dream, we see—
The rhythm flows eternally.

Henri Rousseau’s The Equatorial Jungle (1909) represents one of the most ambitious and mature works of the self-taught French painter, encapsulating the distinctive visual language that has come to define his contribution to modern art. Created near the end of Rousseau’s life, the painting offers a striking vision of a dense, otherworldly rainforest rendered with a heightened sense of stylization, symbolic intent, and compositional control. Although Rousseau never visited a tropical region, his jungles—constructed entirely from imagination and secondary sources—exemplify his ability to synthesize disparate influences into a cohesive and psychologically resonant pictorial universe.

The composition is dominated by an overwhelming profusion of foliage, meticulously arranged to create a layered and immersive environment. Rousseau fills the canvas with a dense wall of vegetation: oversized palm fronds, creeping vines, and exaggerated leaf forms interweave in complex, rhythmic patterns. This tightly controlled repetition and flat, decorative surface contribute to the dreamlike quality of the work, where natural forms are stylized rather than observed. The use of vibrant greens, punctuated by occasional bursts of floral color or animal presence, creates a visual field that is at once lush, claustrophobic, and hypnotically ordered.

Populating this imaginary ecosystem are a variety of tropical animals—birds, snakes, monkeys, and other elusive creatures—that appear partly camouflaged and partly emblematic. These figures are rendered with a childlike clarity and simplicity that belies the sophistication of their placement within the composition. Rousseau’s fauna do not interact dynamically with their environment; rather, they occupy it with a kind of still, symbolic presence, lending the scene a sense of calm introspection rather than narrative drama. This static quality is further reinforced by Rousseau’s use of flat color fields and his deliberate avoidance of conventional perspective and modeling.

Despite its apparent naïveté, The Equatorial Jungle is underpinned by a deep conceptual and formal intelligence. Rousseau constructed his jungle scenes by studying plants in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, examining natural history books, and incorporating visual material from colonial exhibitions. Yet, rather than attempting naturalistic fidelity, he transformed these elements into a cohesive vision rooted in fantasy and the subconscious. The result is not a realistic depiction of a jungle but a psychological landscape—an imagined space of mystery, reverie, and primal stillness.

For this episode of MuséeCast, we welcome Berlin-based artist Sneffinsky, who delivers a deeply emotive and progressive downtempo set—a reflective journey through sound shaped by recent personal shifts and collective transitions. Drawing from powerful and resonant textures, Sneffinsky guides listeners through a contemplative sonic landscape that moves from shadow into light.

Here are a few words from the artist:

hola familia,

i am very delighted & grateful to provide a compilation of some powerful, deep & progressive downtempo music that resonated a lot with me lately.

while recording this mix, i felt that there have been quite some strong energies moving all around me. it’s like something big is shifting. and even though this shift is not of an easy-going kind, i can feel that it is moving us all closer towards the light. the brighter days are slowly taking over again. at the end of any dark period there is light again, like in a tunnel - the only way out is to go through.

et voilà, here we are - welcome to a new wonderful chapter. let yourself go and be guided through this deep sonic journey.

with love & gratitude

MuséeCast 020 by sneffinsky

After a long flight, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10 year old witch apprentice) gently touched down in the middle of the Serranía de la Macarena, an isolated mountain range in between the Llanos and the Amazon Forest. They received a warm welcome by Taina, a young Muisca witch which they had already met the year before. This place felt like a real garden of Eden, surrounded by lush green forests full of wild animals like jaguars or gray-legged tinamous, which are supercute ground-dwelling birds. The view on the nearby Andes mountains was absolutely breathtaking. This place felt like a true paradise.
And it even got better when Taina showed her guests the way to an idyllic waterfall. The witches didn’t hesitate one second. They slipped out of their immaculately white dresses and waded into the water, right next to the waterfall. There they noticed that the water was crystal clear. Taina explained that the name of this river is the Caño Cristales and that it has the clearest and purest water on earth. The water felt so pleasant on their skin and long hair, that the girls lazily swam around for over one hour. Then the girls spontaneously formed a circle and floated around with their legs intertwined, performing an improvised graceful water ballet. The witches became so deeply relaxed that they didn’t notice that they slowly drifted away with the current. The water gradually flowed faster and faster, and soon the witches were in the middle of a series of rapids. Witches are excellent swimmers who can stay under water for a long time, so the rapids were great fun for them. They yelled from excitement while sliding down waterfall after waterfall. After a while the river became really wild, and they had to hold their hands really tight in order to avoid getting separated. 
Strangely, Hekske started to see some unusual colors under water, ranging from green, blue, black, red to yellow. After sliding down yet another roaring waterfall, the girls swirled around in a natural pool where the water was a lot calmer. Taina explained that this place is called the giant’s kettle. And she added that this colorful river is also called the liquid rainbow. Hekske and Falke looked in awe at all these vivid colors. This river not only has the purest water on earth. It also has the most stunning colors.
This place truly felt like heaven on earth and the witches were in no hurry to get out of the crystal-clear water …

Mono und Lisa steht für Dualität in der Musik, mit klaren Strukturen warmen
organischen Klängen und gleichzeitig weiten kompromisslosen Klangkathedralen. Egal ob es sich dabei um ein DjSet handelt oder eine eigne Produktion, man begibt sich mit Mono oder Lisa immer auf eine kleine Reise in eine andere Welt. Für ein paar Minuten oder Stunden taucht man ein, in sein eigenes kleines audiophiles Miniversum.
