Snow Storm – Steam-Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth by J. M. W. Turner’s (1842) immediately immerses the viewer in a tumultuous scene where nature and machine collide in a whirling storm of sea, wind, and snow. At first glance, the painting feels almost abstract a vortex of movement and light that seems to spin endlessly around a fragile vessel caught at the storm’s center. The steam-boat, barely distinguishable amid the swirling brushwork, becomes a symbol of human ambition and vulnerability, its mechanical strength rendered powerless against the immensity of the natural world. Turner’s mastery of texture and motion is on full display here: thick, gestural strokes of grey, white, and muted brown evoke the chaos of the storm while dissolving traditional boundaries between sea and sky. The viewer is pulled into the turbulence, sensing both awe and disorientation, as if standing within the tempest itself.

The painting feels less like a literal depiction and more like an experience an emotional and sensory translation of the sublime. Turner claimed to have witnessed such a storm firsthand, allegedly tying himself to a ship’s mast to study its violence, a story that, whether true or not, underscores the intensity of his vision. The work captures not just the external drama of the sea, but the psychological weight of isolation and surrender before forces beyond control. The faint glow that emerges from the center suggests a struggle toward survival or perhaps enlightenment within chaos a hallmark of Turner’s late period, when his art transcended realism to approach the expressive freedom of modern abstraction. Seen today, Snow Storm – Steam-Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth stands as both a technical marvel and a profound meditation on the limits of human power, the majesty of nature, and the beauty that can be found in the midst of turmoil.

For this episode of MuséeCast, Habikat shares a set that reflects his steady curiosity and deep connection to sound. A sonic explorer since 1999 and part of the Afterhour Sounds collective, Habikat approaches mixing with patience and focus never in a rush, yet always attentive. The set drifts through downtempo, deep, and subtle psychedelic shades, staying mostly under 116 BPM. It unfolds with quiet intention, where each transition feels natural and every texture has room to breathe. What emerges is a grounded journey immersive, measured, and true to his way of listening a space where rhythm becomes observation and sound moves without hurry.

🎵 Bereits das Intro dieses Podcasts holt einen zu 100 % ab, zieht einen in den Bann und lässt die Spannung steigen. Cornelius gibt uns einen tiefen Einblick in seine Gedankenwelt und sein Mindset. Musikalisch jongliert er spielend leicht mit Subgenres, zu breit gefächert für eine Schublade, zu schön, um drüber nachzudenken. Während Nieselregen den Alltag dominiert, ist dieses Machwerk ein kleiner Lichtblick, der Herzenswärme spendet.
 Wir sind definitiv angekommen und sagen: Vielen Dank 🍂

Somewhere between the kick and the delay — at 00:40 hrs, 108 BPM — my DJ-MacBook just froze.

Seven seconds of silence. Total blackout.
The crowd didn’t flinch. 
Someone laughed and shouted, “Ma che Tony!”

Next day I opened the session, found the gap, stitched the groove, dusted it clean.

Now it sounds right — tunes I truly feel.

The beauty of a simple editor cut. 

Enjoy and thanks to the wonderful crowd and - always in my heart - Kauz Zürich and crew!

NatureTempo welcomes Wetten Bass from Switzerland.

Part of the Swiss party collective Tanzfreunde, Wetten Bass has been shaping unforgettable in- and outdoor gatherings in the beautiful Swiss mountains twice a year. Behind the decks since 2012, his  musical journey began with deep house and cosmic disco, creating warm and soulful dance floor moments.

A visit to Fusion Festival in 2018 opened a new chapter — the discovery of downtempo, with its organic grooves and dreamy soundscapes, which quickly became a deep passion and a defining element of his sets for several years.

Recently, he has returned to faster BPMs, exploring energetic and dynamic sounds that bring back the driving pulse of the dance floor - while still carrying the depth and emotion that have always been at the heart of his music.
