Eye of Maria Miles Heyward by Edward Greene Malbone (1802) This delicate work belongs to the rare and intimate tradition of “lover’s eyes”, miniature portraits that depict only the eye of a loved one. This sentimental form of portraiture emerged in the late eighteenth century in England and spread to America around the turn of the nineteenth century. Such miniatures were often commissioned as tokens of affection or remembrance, set into lockets, rings, or brooches to be worn close to the heart.

Malbone’s painting isolates the right eye of Maria Miles Heyward, a member of a prominent Charleston, South Carolina, family. The subject’s identity is known through family records and later copies of the work. Malbone’s brushwork captures extraordinary subtlety for its size; the moist reflection of the eye, the finely curved lashes, and the faint tonal transitions of the surrounding skin are rendered with precise, fluid handling of watercolor on the smooth ivory surface. The translucency of the medium and the artist’s control of shadow create a striking illusion of depth and vitality despite the miniature scale.

The Metropolitan Museum’s catalog notes that this piece was once owned by Emily Drayton Taylor (1860–1952), a miniaturist and descendant of the Heyward family. Taylor is known to have made a copy of Malbone’s “Eye of Maria Miles Heyward,” suggesting that the original was preserved within the family’s collection before entering the museum. The copy remains an important record of the work’s early provenance.

Although the miniature’s current presentation is as an independent painting, its circular format corresponds to the scale and design of pieces originally intended for jewelry settings. The museum does not confirm whether the work retains its original mounting, but the dimensions and composition are consistent with examples of wearable “eye” miniatures from the same era.

Malbone’s “Eye of Maria Miles Heyward” exemplifies both his refined technique and the emotional sensitivity that distinguished his work from that of his contemporaries. The piece invites a deeply personal response: by isolating the sitter’s gaze, the artist transforms a fragment of likeness into a powerful symbol of intimacy, longing, and remembrance.

Today, this tiny portrait stands as one of the most exquisite surviving examples of the lover’s eye genre in American art and an enduring testament to Malbone’s mastery of miniature painting.

In this exclusive MuséeCast session, Funghy invites listeners into a hypnotic soundscape where rhythm becomes ritual and emotion takes shape through texture and tone. His set unfolds like a living organism, organic, unpredictable, and deeply human.

From the first pulse, Funghy builds an atmosphere of warmth and mystery, merging the tactile energy of analog sound with the introspection of electronic minimalism. Each transition feels deliberate yet instinctive, like a breath shared between movement and stillness. Layers of rhythm drift in and out of focus, revealing a dialogue between pulse and silence, light and shadow.

Da Soundcloud zunehmend an Interesse verliert und Telegram ebenfalls einen guten Player hat, wo ich meine Sets ohne Stress hochladen kann, wird es wohl leider hier zukünftig weniger zu hören geben, ich weiche daher aus. Danke für die letzten 13 wunderbare Jahre bei #Soundcloud. Ich wünsche mir euren Erhalt,  aber bei derzeitigen Kurs schwierig. Holt die Gruppen zurück, das war eine fantastische Zeit als DJ;)

Grasses Trump I ogadågs

Wenn Atonom & Meta:Raah zusammen selektionieren entstehen keine Sets sondern Reisen - und diese sind meist nicht kürzer als 4 Stunden.

So wars auch im Jahre 2021 beim ersten Ausflug ins Land der Biber: https://on.soundcloud.com/Pjer6pR72J4XYBmo6

3 Jahre später ergab sich dann die Möglichkeit dies zu wiederholen. 
Selber Ort. Neue Tracks. Und sogar noch eine Stunde länger als beim letzten Mal.

Et Voilà....

Biberig in Bibern Vol. 2 -  ein gelungenes, 8-stündiges Atom:a:Raah b2b Set für alle die sich darauf einlassen wollen - und dies lohnt sich alleweil.

Zum aktiven Hören, als Reisebegleitung, zum Tanzen oder auch einfach irgendwo im Hintergrund.  
 
Ein knackiger und trotz langer Dauer sehr kurzweiliger Ausflug. Abwechslungsreich & vielseitig aber doch mit rotem Faden. 
Wohl irgendwo im Bereich rund um Midtempo oder so anzusiedeln, wenn denn überhaupt schubladisiert werden muss....

Atom:a:Raah halt.  
Mit viel Liebe zur Musik. 

Bon voyage!

To deejaying I came via detours on the Way of St. James, in the summer of 2012. I mixed the tracks that accompanied me on my journey to create a DVD with memories in the form of pictures and videos. This is how my first Ableton Mix was created. In those days I was not aware of the potential behind this program. In the years before I produced my own tracks without any success. At nights I listened the same beat hours for hours. First live sets were created. But they never lived up to my expectations. What I like to hear is rare. The one beat where every note has its place. Crystal clear and driving.

Electronic music has always been an integral part of my life. In the 80s, influenced by my daddy and his love for Revox & Technics. The "Neue deutsche Welle"  ran up and down. I like the sound of the synthesizers. Pink Floyd was always there acoustically. When Culture Beat, Snap and U96 appeared on the scene, I was finally influenced by my current music style. Enigma. Completely new tones. I am just thinking back to the time when I recorded mixtapes with my double cassette deck. The Hessentag '95 with Mark Spoon and Sven Väth comes to my mind. Or the annual live broadcast of Energy on Swiss radio. Even back then there were such incredibly cool sets and pieces. In school we dealed with tapes of the past weekends. Broadcaster like Evosonic, BBC Radio One and Sputnik now broadcast techno regularly. The clubnights with Talla, Taucher & DJ DAG were the non plus ultra. For me there was no other form of audible music.

With the first CD compilations like Trancemaster and Rave Mission I finally started to play in the late 90s. On 99 Penny events. A funny time. But I decided to celebrate. For listening. For the Rave.

The Millennium Energy was legendary. To celebrate the Love Parade in Berlin with one million people, unforgettable. Mayday and Sonne Mond Sterne Festival-just amazing. In the years around 2000, things got really intense. I left almost nothing out. Schranz! I miss the good old days a little bit, like dancing the soul out of your body on Sunday mornings at Nature One with DJ DAG. We're poisoned.

Thanks to internet and flatrate I only listened to Frisky Radio via iTunes. A completely new era. Via eDonkey there was sound for download. I simply didn't need anything else to satisfy my desire for good music. Sasha's first "Involver" album was the decisive factor for my style today. From now on, digital purity was in the foreground. For me, this music has become a way of life. The older I became, the more intense. That's how I sometimes have the feeling. What makes me especially happy is that techno has grown up with me.

The world is a sum of discs

Music like visual art is universal and can be understood across all cultures and languages. It is interwoven into our identity, being, and everyday lives. They are mediums of escapism and solace, tools of communication and reflection. like paint and canvas, sound and art are deeply connected.
