Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose (1885–1886) by John Singer Sargent is a captivating vision of twilight a poem in paint where innocence, light, and time converge. Set in the garden of Farnham House in Broadway, in England’s Cotswolds, Sargent began the work during the summer of 1885, not long after departing Paris in the wake of the “Madame X” controversy. The idea was sparked during a September boating trip on the Thames at Pangbourne, where he saw Chinese lanterns glowing among trees and lilies at dusk. The painting depicts two young girls Dolly to the left and Polly to the right lighting paper lanterns amid roses, carnations, and tall white lilies in bloom. Originally, Sargent had planned to use the dark-haired daughter of his friend Frederick Barnard as a model, but she was replaced by the Barnard sisters for their fair hair, which better suited the luminous palette. Painted en plein air with impressionistic spontaneity, Sargent worked each evening for just a few precious minutes during the fleeting “blue hour” to capture the delicate balance between lantern glow and fading daylight. As real flowers wilted with the advancing season, he replaced them with artificial ones to preserve the harmony of the composition. The canvas was originally rectangular but later trimmed by about two feet on the left to emphasize the central figures and bring it closer to a square format. When it was unveiled at the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition in 1887, it received both criticism for its “Frenchified” style and praise from admirers, including Sir Frederic Leighton, who encouraged its acquisition for the nation. It became the first of Sargent’s works to enter a British public collection, and today it resides in Tate Britain. The scene captures the quiet enchantment of evening the hush of a garden, the gleam of lanterns, the fragrance of blooms distilled into a single suspended breath where the ephemeral beauty of nature and the artistry of light merge into something timeless.

Moving between deep, psychedelic textures, hypnotic midtempo grooves, and driving rhythmic progressions, he shapes a sound that feels both raw and deliberate.

Let It Rain is a groovy, oriental-tinged downtempo journey from Tiefe Wasser Berlin and Cape Town’s Sadhu Sensi. Born from a guitar riff and percussion, it grew across continents into a hypnotic blend of warm synths, soulful vocals, and meditative Native American flute. A song about welcoming the rain as renewal, it invites you to slow down, listen, and let it flow.

Contemporary Love is the first glimpse into @Skydrips' upcoming EP - a three-track journey that, for the first time, will feature his own voice (on other tracks). While this single remains instrumental, it sets the emotional tone: a deep, evolving piece that reflects on the question – can love itself be a form of anarchy?
Fans will recognize it as a subtle continuation of Contemporary Anarchy - capturing the process of being shaped, resisting, rising, and ultimately… offering love. With its signature blend of analog percussion, FM textures, and organic field recordings, Contemporary Love dives into that space where structure collapses into emotion.

Ramoon 25 - Octopus Plays 8 Octaves (88 bpm)

Growing up in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, I’ve been accompanied by the sounds and spirit of the @3000-grad Festival - and the label behind it - since my youth. This year, I had the special honor of opening the Schatzinselfloor - and with it, the festival itself. 
Thanks to an invitation from the wonderful @Meeresrausch Festival crew & @Meeronautenmusik, this moment became even more special, connecting two kindred musical worlds.

The set flows between Chill House, Deep House, and Downtempo, woven with diverse drum grooves and warm dub elements.
Sometimes driving, sometimes gentle, always carrying a feeling of openness and a hint of sea breeze.

Destiny once again pushes the boundaries of the emerging slow rave genre, a fresh offshoot of the downtempo family. Geplantes Nichtstun captures the essence of early rave culture, distilling its euphoric highs into a single track. Known for his keen sensitivity to fleeting, powerful moments, he has already moved audiences in his live performances. Now, this hidden gem is finally ready to reach a wider public.

Work Room Balance is the first in a trilogy of upcoming ambient works from Landhouse, created in an old work room on his vacation in Italy. Built on gentle textures and patient melodic movements, the track captures the equilibrium between focus and ease that emerges when work and rest coexist.

ykkka [ˈjuːkkkɒ] always loved to fantasize and invent different worlds. He often drew them using neural networks.
He often imagined how he traveled through these worlds:

Imagine that you found yourself in a wonderful place, where the surface of the earth is like the bottom of a giant ocean, trees, grass and any other plants - like algae, and clouds in the sky - foam on the crest of a wave, and airplanes are actually boats that float on the surface of the ocean. There were very tall trees around, of bizarre shapes and colors, there was always a slightly muted sound here, and in the air absolutely everywhere there was quiet and a little melancholic, but beautiful music. This is the music that you are listening right now.

Among the trees, either swam or flew a giant whale named Sven. ykkka was friends with this whale, he gave him that name. They could communicate, and during the dialogue they looked not into each other’s eyes, but slightly to the side, as if using peripheral vision, silently, by the power of thought.

Sven often swam to ykkka’s house and looked into the window of his bedroom with his big eye with a slightly sad look. He told ykkka about his travels across the ocean, about what wonders he saw and what dangers he survived. ykkka listened to him with interest and admiration.

There was a large mysterious forest with very tall trees around, where mysterious but kind creatures lived. This place is called "Middle of Nowhere".

Here you could sometimes meet a very large black cat named Kroher, who had 4 eyes. Meeting him was a big luck, just few people saw Kroher. Not far away, you could often meet a dog Barca - very large and very kind, was friendly to everyone. This was a very kind and magical world, very calm and quiet.

And now close your eyes, proceed to listen the set and imagine it.
Have a nice trip.

Skydrips - That blurry line between ocean and sky.
 
Growing up on the german coast, he always remembers the dip of the horizon while looking at the ocean. Skydrips captures adventures in nature which are the base for each of his tracks. Analogue synthesizers and digital effects are built on top until his signature trance sound comes alive.

Inspired by the free techno festivals in Mecklenburg where he observed how people got lost in the music led Skydrips to create music himself. Now he also wants to curate moments in which the audience might forget about the world.

Skydrips is an eternal dreamer living between the city of Berlin and its close-by nature. He can be found in his studio for days but also out in the plain nature doing nothing for the same amount of time.

These days everything is focused on creating music and performing it live.  Combining edits of his own tracks with spontaneous moments that can only be heard once. Meanwhile uncountable pieces of gear passes Skydrips hands, so there is constant change and alteration in his music that can be heard throughout the releases. 
 
The duality of this scenario resonates in each of his lovingly crafted dance tracks. You will always find a robotic groove paired with a light hearted trance theme contrasting as much as possible with each other.
The challenges of this twist might be heard in Skydrips tracks. That is why he believes in the energy that is being transmitted with his Music.

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. Even in popular culture, we consume music from a visual creative perspective.



.
Le Musée is a collective area dedicated to emerging musical compositions transformed into paintings. We want to share all types of art by collaborating with artists who create introspective sounds and mixtapes from the electronic scene.
