Aes

Aes Dana is the main moniker for Vincent Villuis, a French composer, sound designer, Dj and co-owner of Ultimae records as well as one of the founding members of Asura. Bass player and singer in several coldwave and industrial bands as a teenager, Vincent then moved on to composing with machines and specialised in sampling and layering of acoustic sounds digitally transmuted. His music is a fusion of Deep Ambient, Downtempo, IDM, infused with hints of Neo-Classsical Electronica, Industrial and Liquid Drum 'n' Bass.
As Aes Dana, he produced solo albums, an audio samples library, participated to about 3 dozen compilations while collaborating on three albums with Swedish artist Magnus Birgersson under moniker H.U.V.A. Network…

Aes Dana is releasing his 8th solo album on the Ultimae imprint; glowing addition to the composer’s discography, Inks is at once a synthesis of everything that his music has been leading up to and an original step forwards in terms of expressiveness and contrast. A self-taught electronic music composer, bass guitar and samplist, Vincent Villuis has quickly become one of the most recognizeable names in the broad-reaching “downtempo” field. With Inks, he delivers a sublime narrative album, fusion of Ambient, IDM, Deep Techno and Drum’n’Bass. The finely-woven tapestries of his inspiring music are as much a dazzling exercise in rhythm chiseling, melody and texture as a pure, intuitive and intimate perspective of life’s intrigues.
