Both the longest and most comprehensive mix I have edited together yet, "5,000 Fathoms" compiles over 40 unique ambient artists into a 90 minute underwater journey. The sounds of a harbor can be heard as you set out on a small boat and soon plunge overboard. The concept continues from there but I'll leave that for you to discover. Throughout the journey, found underwater sounds are interwoven, including actual recordings of humpback whales (not mine, referenced below) and the constant manipulation of water sounds effects (scuba breathing). Each track was specifically chosen that both worked within an ambient anthology context, as well as a nautical theme ("Deep Blue Day", "By the Harbor") or a feeling of being isolated deep underwater (Basinski, Popnoname). Plug in your headphones and enjoy. 
Tracklisting as follows:
a found sounds intro feat: waves at Belle Isle, several underwater SFX incl: scuba diving sounds / Geir Jenssen "Summit - Only Slight Breeze..." / Oneohtrix Point Never "Blue Drive" / Brian Eno "Deep Blue Day" / Stars of the Lid "January '69" / Aphex Twin "Ropes" / Burial "In McDonalds" / Donnacha Costelo "Dry Retch" / Gas "Pop #5" / Deathprod "Cloudchamber" / Biosphere "Fast Atoms Escape" / Atrium Carceri "The Expedition" / Bvdub "Your Loyalty Lies Long Forgotten" / Tim Hecker "October (Part I)" / Markus Guentner "Chrom" / The Sight Below "Nowhere" / R.J. Stefanski "Summer Crickets and Cicadas" / Blamstrain "Tundra VII" / Arms and Sleepers "By the Harbor" / Boards of Canada "Farewell Fire" / Biosphere + Deathprod "warp/warble" / William Basinski "DIP 2.1" / Three Legged Race "Butter Colored Hallway" / Casino Versus Japan "Names on Maps.. Pt. 5" / Marconi Union "A Temporary Life" / Markus Guentner "Wanderung" / Triola "Leuchtturm" / Segue "Vapour Trails" / Yagya "Snowflake 10" / Kaito "Awakening (Beatless)" / Popnoname "Hafen" / Rene Hell "Untitled Solo Piece 4" / Riceboy Sleeps "Howl" / All "Logopedie 99" / Seefeel "Signals" / Loscil "Rye Fields" / Biosphere "Green Reflections" / Oliver Messiaen "Oraison" / Philip Jeck "Pax" / Plastikman "Drp" / Jurgen Muller "Coral Fantasy" / Ulf Lohman "Audrey" / Tim Hecker "Borderlands" / Casino Versus Japan "Slobid Bell Wave" / Blanck Mass "Weakling Flyer" / Casino Versus Japan "Ships Without Names" / Sigur Ros "Fjogur Piano" / Bibio "Cherry Blossom Road" & "Bewley in Red" / a found sounds outro feat.

Second chapter of this series of compilations, Oxycanta - Winter Blooms gathers crispy atmospheric electronica, deep floating techno and downtempo ambient. A bunch of delicate soundtales evoking extremes, evanescence and strength, minimalistic to multi-layered. 

In 1751, Italian composer Francesco Severo Geminiani wrote "The Intention of Music is not only to please the ear, but to express Feelings, captivate the Imagination, affect the Mind and command the Passions." 

Through this collection of music, Mahiane, aka Sunbeam, co-manager of Ultimae, Dj and composer, softly takes the listener to such sonic realms as favourable to inner and environmental exploration. 

Featuring Hybrid Leisureland, Solar Fields, Amos, Antonio Testa & Maurizio Piazza, Malik Trey, Aes Dana, Sgnl_Fltr, Subgardens, bOb tracKer, James Murray and Mahiane.

Sleepy Shadows

The composition of this Far & Off album began after on long period of detachment and isolation. 

This modern life we lead tends to saturate many of us with information, constant stimuli of all kinds and shatter time, as if we lived in small sequences. Some of us content themselves with that, some manage to regulate or tighten the flow, others collapse or pretend not to. 

I guess I'm not the only one to ever feel the need to fly away, remove myself from the ongoing swirl and purely vanish. 
It wasn’t a matter of waking up with a sudden urge, it built up, slowly, between the lines, it wasn’t caused by any philosophical, spiritual or religious belief either. It simply became a natural answer to the surrounding frenzy. 

To be on my own, far, in another context, without technology, an act of protection. Taste real solitude, a state in which no one else exists; cross the line, change rhythm and feel the passing of time. 
This is what I am sharing with you now, with keys and sounds, pads and patterns, glitches and drums. My desire was to compose contrasted tales, to bring light on the paradox, from one extreme to the other, harshness to tranquility. 

Mihalis, as he encountered a similar situation was keen on putting those emotions into music and the perfect partner as it turned out. 

Far & Off

Small Things Matter

Microcosmos gives you third part of it's popular Chill-Out series.

This chapter is a collection of unreleased gems from label's residents, newcomers and honored guests.

Driving and emotional, this is not what you can expect from ordinary chill-out compilation. Music is full of sounds and layered complex structures, but easy to listen and dive into.

Mindfullness and inspiration are the aims of this musical journey.

Join this meditation to relax your body and heal your soul!

We have traveled all around the Space, but this time we are in for a dive into the unexplored ocean depths! What mysterious secrets do they hide?

Oleg Belousov, also known as Astronaut Ape, has been making electronic music in chill-out, ambient, chillgressive, trance since 2005. He is a traveler through the music universe and an acknowledged expert in proper mood flow at chill space of any size.

The Deep is full of magnetic ambient soundscapes with solid incursions in the profound trance and progressive fields. Top-notch production sound, full of atmospheres and layers, is gently mixed with soughing of waves, whale songs, and underwater animal noises. Experimental synth effects, groovy bass, dancing patterns pull out your emotions and take you on a vibrant journey into the ocean depths.

Prepare yourself for the pleasant underwater submersion. Turn on Deep by Astronaut Ape!

Alveol - Oblivion

Ultimae proudly presents "Hereafter", a collection of past and present works by Mihalis Aikaterinis aka MIKTEK to which the Greek composer desired to give a second breath and offer a new dive into his deep musical world. All tracks were carefully chosen, revisited, reedited, recorded live, remastered and assembled with two unreleased ones to create a smooth melancholic journey.

Washed out blissful pads and slow idm rhythms are to be expected as the foundation of this release. From the warm ambient vibe of Dawsonia to the dubbed out landscapes of Omniprescence and the glitchy rhythms of Atmosphere of Neglect, Mihalis cruises through multiple electronic territories while keeping a coherent sound along the way. 

Sometimes reassuring, sometimes dark, but always captivating, these pieces feel like a never ending ascent to the lights above.
During the troubled times we're experimenting, "Hereafter" resonates with a touching singularity. While the title might evoke dismal images, what we hear is an invitation to look farther than anything else, farther than our present times, to journey to clearer skies and quieter waters.

Carbon Based Lifeforms - Euphotic

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.
