Even in the darkest of times, there is always hope and light to be found.

"Openness" is a deeply personal exploration of the themes of vulnerability, authenticity, and connections. Through my music, I delve into the depths of emotions, exploring the intricacies of human experience. My hope is that this album will provide comfort, inspiration, and support to all those who have felt broken and lost, and serve as a reminder of the power of resilience and hope.

It all starts with 'Openness.'
By being open, you build a lot of 'Connections.'
You will have wonderful 'Experiences.'
But then, you have to face the 'Consequences.'
After which, there is only 'Hope' left.
Then, it is time for 'Acceptance'...
And only then, you will achieve the 'Inner Light.'

This album is a genre-blending journey, combining electronic, chillout, and psybient elements with sampled ethnic instruments, ethereal voices, and electronic synth leads, as well as deep, warm, and punchy basslines. The music creates an immersive and emotive sonic landscape, inviting listeners to delve into their own inner world.

Immerse yourself in the emotive sounds of "Openness", and let the music take you on a unique sonic adventure.

Far & Off, a collaborative creation by Vincent Villuis and Mihalis Aikaterinis, known as AES DANA and MIKTEK, has been fully rethought—remastered and graphically redesigned. Originally conceived from the essence of three EPs — Cut. | Alkaline | The Unexpected Hours — this album represents a poignant journey born from a period of extended detachment and isolation.

In today’s world, where life is saturated with incessant information, stimuli, and fragmented time, many feel overwhelmed. Some adjust, some collapse, and others, like the composers, feel the profound need to escape. Far & Off was not a spontaneous reaction but a slow culmination of necessity, not driven by any philosophical, spiritual, or religious belief, but as a natural response to the surrounding frenzy. This album is about seeking solitude, crossing into a different rhythm, and feeling the flow of time.

With Far & Off, the artists share this experience through keys and sounds, pads and patterns, glitches, and drums, aiming to create contrasted tales that highlight life’s paradoxes, from harshness to tranquility.

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.
