Ultimae label founder Vincent Villuis aka AES Dana returns to one of his favourite emotional fields with (a) Period. and explores these times of forlornness and oblivion in a Cinematic Ambient 10 chapter story. 

As a creative observer, the French artist instantiates our endeavour to establish stillness, he steers the tale with a wide palette of sensitive chords, melting distant rumbles into bittersweet melodies and diaphanous pads thus leading the listener to a state of introspection and intimate isolationism. 

AES Dana's 9th album "(a) period. " stands as an elegy for unimaginable loss, and, as the composer says, "any resemblance with your personal experience is no coincidence".

(extract from the original 13mn track available on Bandcamp and streaming services)

"Celestial Whispers" by Astral Waves is an evocative journey into the realm of ambient soundscapes, a true treat for listeners seeking calm and introspection. From the opening notes, the track gently ushers you into a world where cinematic textures meet soulful serenity. The composition’s delicate interplay of ethereal synths and subtle acoustic layers creates a meditative atmosphere, one that feels both expansive and intimately personal.

The piece unfolds slowly, inviting deep introspection while its uplifting vocal harmonies inspire a sense of hope and renewal. Each sound is meticulously crafted, allowing for moments of silence to speak as loudly as the music itself. Whether you’re unwinding after a hectic day or embarking on a reflective journey within, "Celestial Whispers" serves as the perfect sonic companion, offering both solace and inspiration in its soothing cadence.

In a landscape where ambient music often blends into the background, Astral Waves today distinguishes themselves with a clear narrative in sound, one that is cinematic yet understated, profound yet effortlessly uplifting. This single is not just music; it’s an experience, a gentle reminder to embrace the quiet moments that reside within us all.

Astral Waves "Celestial Whispers" ( extract ) - [ Altar Records ]

Microcosmos Records presents a meditative electronic journey, the album Panta Rhei by Jule Grasz.

Jule Grasz (Germany) began composing music in early childhood. In the 1990s, she wrote songs while collaborating with various artists. In 2006, she discovered the world of electronic music production, and since 2008, she has been successfully releasing her chillout music on multiple labels, including Microcosmos Records.

Panta Rhei in Ancient Greek means "Everything flows". As Jule herself describes, the album is a musical interpretation of the philosophical principle of perpetual change as the foundation of existence: «Everything comes into being, everything is one, everything flows, everything passes away, in an eternal metamorphosis of being.»

The tracks radiate optimism and joy. Artfully textured soundscapes evoke an ever-changing eternity of the cosmos, while hypnotic arpeggios guide listeners through intricate sonic corridors like winding staircases.

Press play on Panta Rhei and immerse yourself in the unhurried flow of refined chillout music by Jule Grasz and Microcosmos Records.

Deep Floating

Interstellar Winds  (Extended Album Version)

LOFS029

e O is the shared moniker of sibling artists eleu and Olson, whose debut self-titled album ‘e O’ arrives as a beautifully blurred portrait of two inner worlds colliding. Raised on parallel but distinct soundtracks, their collaboration captures the hazy overlap of childhood memory and present-day influence—filtered through a language all of their own.

The record shimmers at the edges of genre, folding together fragments of ambient pop, left-field R&B, experimental electronics, and traces of shoegaze. Olson’s production is built from gently layered textures that ricochet and swell, creating a sense of movement that feels both precise and ineffable, while eleu navigates the album with intimate, delicate vocals. It’s music that feels like stepping into a dream already in progress.

e O draws from a palette of softness and distortion, of digital haze and real-world textures, echoing those in-between hours where clarity and feeling drift in and out of focus. A work of intuition and subtle transformation, this is a debut that doesn't introduce itself loudly—but lingers long after.
