The Unexpected Hours EP associates the works of AES Dana (Vincent Villuis) and MIKTEK (Mihalis Aikaterinis), the third chapter in a series of three. 

Dedicated to these time-lapse moments, when the Big Clock suddenly seems to stop, when we are entirely free of any burden, enjoying only the current flow and the simple pleasure, in a timeless and undefined cocoon. 

These 4 new & closing tracks continue to paint sturdy contrasts, conflicting and paradoxical emotions through grainy and liquid Drum works, magnetic soundscapes, blurry interferences and rushed audio switches. Welcome to the final intersections.

Derived from the Latin “Ultimae Terrae,” meaning “the furthest places,” the name Ultimae reflects a profound theme of exploration. This concept is at the heart of Ultimae Records, an ambient music record label and publisher dedicated to transporting listeners to the outer edges of experience through sound and offering a space for introspection and discovery within the vastness of the mind and beyond.

In 1999, Vincent Villuis and Sandrine Gryson, also known as AES Dana and Mahiane, united over a shared passion for the immersive world of electronic music. This collaboration led to the birth of the label. Initially envisioned as a musical portal, Ultimae’s mission was to explore and disseminate the diverse expressions of Ambient music far and wide through the production of records and the establishment of an online shop.

Over the years, Ultimae has expanded beyond its original scope, evolving into a multifaceted company with sound design, post-production, and mastering studios based in Lyon, France, along with professional services in publishing, music licensing, and synchronization.
