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".

AES DANA | Period 08_Overpass

Terrene stands as the first musical encounter between Danish and French composers Henrik Laugesen and Vincent Villuis respectively known as Lauge and AES Dana. 

A cornucopia of evanescent pads and elaborate rhythms with a distinctive downtempo vibe; a daedal story taking one on a magnetic peregrination through dense and contrasted sonic geographies, picturing the notion of temporality and space. 

This mighty 10 track album elicits emotions and feelings and will leave you full of moxie!

Written and produced by Henrik Laugesen and Vincent Villuis.

Cassiopeia

"...The machines stood like sentries at the edge of the Forest, mist hung in the air in long laces tethered to the center of the hourglass-shaped constructs. It pooled in the clearing before continuing on into open air, a river of fog. A low hum emanated from each of them, with pulsing light from where the two bulbs met. The ambiance was broken with the sound of a rock tumbling onto the gravel behind me. Turning around were the two humanoids from earlier, now crouched on the ground, motionless...."

Bonus track from Purl & Sinius debut album 'Oceans of Sound' // AM4 | Eternell

A transcendental journey into the oceans of sound within.

This album is a result of the convergence between the inner worlds of Daljit Kundi and Ludvig Cimbrelius.

AES Dana is releasing his 8th solo album on the Ultimae imprint; glowing addition to the composer’s discography, "Inks" is at once a synthesis of everything that his music has been leading up to and an original step forwards in terms of expressiveness and contrast. 

A self-taught electronic music composer, bass guitar and samplist, Vincent Villuis has quickly become one of the most recogniseable names in the broad-reaching “downtempo” field. With "Inks", he delivers a sublime narrative album, fusion of ambient, idm, deep techno and drum'n'bass. 
The finely woven tapestries of his inspiring music are as much a dazzling exercise in rhythm chiseling, melody and texture as a pure, intuitive and intimate perspective of life's intrigues.

Mastered by Vincent Villuis at Ultimae Studios.

The goal of Isydia (ih-city-uh) is to deliver deep, intricate, narrative driven sci-fi music. Immerse yourself in beautifully cold soundscapes layered with  mysterious melodic lines and disjoint percussive samples. Each track tells a story, what will you hear?

Inspirations are wide ranging, but center around Captain Panic! & Systek's 'Monolith' album and the Dune Saga by Frank Herbert.
