AES DANA LIVE + DJ SET [Ultimae Records]
AES DANA aka Vincent Villuis, composer and sound designer, Dj and co-owner of Ultimae records. Electronic activist since teenagehood, he was also one of the founding members of ASURA. Bass player and singer in several coldwave and industrial bands, he then moved on to composing with machines.
Specialised in sampling and layering of accoustic sounds digitally transmuted, Vincent Villuis creates a music which offers multiple listening possibilities.
AES DANA brings a fusion between the British Progressive feel and the traditional American Space Music; with sounds anchored in the psychedelic realm freely flowing into a morning downtempo trance, tribal or smashed rhythms.
So far he has produced 4 solo albums, participated to about 3 dozen compilations and collaborated on two albums with Swedish artist Magnus Birgersson under moniker H.UV.A.NETWORK. We expect his next album [ Perimeters ] to be released in early 2011.
In 2009, Vincent Villuis composed soundtracks for Science Fiction movie "The Passport" (Amund Lie) and "Atrophy Bank" (Sam Asaert) which should come out late 2009. In June 2009 was released his latest album [ Leylines ] which received many excellent feedbacks from the electronic scene and from the beyond audience.
The album was ranked top 10 sales electronic music on Itunes USA and Top 5 on emusic.
In 2009, Vincent Villuis becomes sponsored artist by TC Electronics.
As the conceptor of the Fahrenheit Project compilation, he is working on the last chapter of the series prior to re-releasing the whole collection as a deluxe edition.
Vincent Villuis is Official Resident for the Dominicains of Haute Alsace for 2009-2010 and currently works on comWebsite:
ASURA LIVE [Ultimae Records]
Since 1996, the project Asura has polished a personal electronic universe sound, between trance psychedelic, ambient and world music. Made by many influences, their music does not remain about it less one personal and considered creation, centered on the perpetual search of infinite spaces and multiple origins. Monotonous melancholic lyrics, symphonic waves, fast and slow rythms, heavy or throbbing, liturgical songs, Asura introduces a certain solemn vision of the world. Built around electronic machines and acoustic instruments, their music is a curiosity. Recognized everywhere, though little known in France, their songs Code Eternity and Lost Eden however had many dance at the time of large trance raves all over the world. Vincent Villuis left the band to concentrate on his new project, Aes Dana, in 2001, and was replaced by Alex Ackerman. The second album, Lost Eden, was released in 2003.
Since July 2005, after the departure of Christopher Maze and Alex Ackerman, Asura became a solo project, composed by Charles Farewell, co-founder of the project.The third and newest album, LIFE�, has been available on Earth since July the 7th 2007, on Ultimae Records.
Life� marks the return of the original Asura sound, with ten strong tracks, composed of melodic echoes, aramean tribal rhythms, ethereal duduks, hypnotic basslines, symphonic orchestrations, fusion of gentleness, and strength blending into acid themes. The outcome is melancholic yet positive, as any renewal would be, a tangible passage, sort of a second life… The fourth Album, 360 - is out since winter 2010. - and had a massive response all over the planet

CYGNA[IT RECORDS/MALTA] LIVE
At the start of this third millenium Cygna's creations possess the perfect sense of belongings,
as they invite the listener to stop and feel the inner space, the outher enviorinment, be it human and native, light or deep.Cygna can be identified as the creator of organic atmospheres warming spaces with lit sound journeys;all such magnitudes are produced by Mario Sammut in Malta, the island set right in the midst of theMediterrenean Sea.Since 1998, Cygna has been magnifying unique combinations of modified ambient sounds evolved with
classical instruments on an organic sound ground, all of which lead Cygna be the birth place of Symphonic Ambient.Cygna is heading to genuine success with his sound compositions as they attract collaborations
with film producers, visual artists, alternative music festivals and thethre productions.ule Belami ( Film Director ) defined Cygna's works as "otherwordly and hypnotic. A listening experience that is always a vosual experience with developing images and scenesabound in the mind's eye".
Travis Nobles from Hiddenplace Music insists that under Cygna, Mario Sammut creates a ." quiet and desolated peace, a sudden rush of anticipation breaking into hearth-racing drums, creating
music for the cinema of the imagination... each composition is packed as much as suspance danger, intence and intrique as a whirlwind trip around the world ".Whilst performing at ambient festivals, Cygna's works has been displayed in national art galleries, art installations, theatre projects and European film productions. Cygna interacts music with science,
evolutionary art, and the organic earth simultaniously. For such properties and unique compositions Cygna became the genuine field explored world wide due to the evolutionary sound works.
Cygna is observed to be the mastermind in sound organics as he evokes cutting edge sound concept and fields.February 2011 will release his debut CD album opus ένα on IT Records ...welcome to the future of syphonic ambient
