Hydroponic Garden full album.
First full length release by Carbon Based Lifeforms

Epicentre (First Movement)

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.

Morning Lake (Original Mix)

A few travels Sweden to France and vice-versa; constant bandwidth; and duo H.U.V.A. Network composed an album of immersive tunes infused with oneiric trip-hop, ambient geometries and morning trance.

[ Ephemeris ] is a deep sonic ground swell, an album of contrasts, 10 tracks structured upon subterranean bass lines, transversal and luminous pads, crisp, crunchy beats. A mesmerizing ensemble of fresh atmospheres and intense, forward driving melodies.

The inspiration for the album title comes from the artists Vincent Villuis and Magnus Birgersson's collaboration process, determined by the patterns of encounter in time and space, the alignment of creative moods and coordination of life's innate forces.

Ultimae announces the reedition and remaster of Leylines, the fourth Ambient Downtempo album by French composer and sound designer Vincent Villuis, aka AES Dana.

Sculpted from field recordings, analog synthesis, and digitally processed textures, Leylines is a deeply immersive and granular journey. This reedited and remastered edition brings greater spatial clarity and depth, revealing new layers of nuance and sonic interplay.

Inspired by the concept of invisible energy paths believed to link sacred and geomagnetic sites, the album explores the subtle connections between musical genres, emotional states, and the living world.

Originally released in 2009, Leylines quickly became a pivotal work in Villuis’s career. What few people knew at the time is that the album was composed in its entirety twice: after a catastrophic disk crash destroyed the original version, Villuis entered a period of deep introspection before starting over. This shock led not only to emotional reckoning but also to a complete reinvention of his creative process.

Leylines became the foundation for a new compositional language — one built on a fresh sonic palette, renewed patterns, and a more sculptural approach to sound. The final result was more distilled, more intentional, and marked a turning point in his musical trajectory. Upon release, the album reached #1 on the iTunes Electronic Music chart, establishing itself as a landmark within the genre.

Sacred Circuits questions our relationship with cultural heritage in the digital age.

What if technology doesn't destroy traditions, but transforms them?

Electronic circuits don't kill the ancestral sacred—they transport it, transform it, make it vibrate on new frequencies.

A griot from Mali can speak to Finish clubbers. A Haitian vodou ritual can make Seoul dance.

From West African griots to Mongolian shamans, from Caribbean vodou ceremonies to Korean royal palaces—each track is a portal where respect for roots and technological innovation coexist.

I really just had the idea to run a field recording of this river through autotune and the result was a bit more of a bullseye than I had expected. 
Next thing you know I'm making this whole record around it. Hope you all enjoy

Water Idea

When swedish artist Solar Fields (Magnus Birgersson) meets french artist AES Dana (Vincent Villuis)...the outcome is H.U.V.A. Network, a downtempo project where North and South regions mix and jumble together in a fluid manner. 

The pair of sound architects explore ambient-electronica landscapesand their multiple layouts.The album was thought out and composed in two studios : 
- Studio Jupiter (Göteborg - Sweden) 
- Ultimae Studio (Lyon - France) 
Musical works and ideas were conceived in this two creation poles via a few travels and a high speed internet network connection, thus breaking [ Distances ] which separate the two composers. 

6 months of composition, 2 weeks of mixing and a week of mastering with Huby Sea, were necessary to give form to this outstanding encounter album.

Ultimae proudly presents the new remastered edition of Connect.Ohm's first album "9980" a subtle and emotive story born of the musical encounter between Hidetoshi Koizumi aka Hybrid Leisureland and Alexandre Scheffer aka Cell.

The nine tracks on "9980" compose a serene ballad in atmospheric realms where finely chiseled rhythms and fluid melodies are sustained by discreet downtempo grooves and deep drones. 
Koizumi’s widely spread, otherworldly, organic, sustained wizardry, compliments Scheffer’s spiraling, liquid, delicate yet sumptuous acid ambient type architecture. This combination creates a kinetic and spacious tapestry that stimulates the mind and soul. A pure delight for vast soundscapes audiophiles.

This second edition released with a brand new artwork will be available in CD and all digital formats on June 28th 2018 and a few weeks later as a magnificent Double LP.

Written & produced by Alex Scheffer & Hidetoshi Koizumi.

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.
