FraKtus rants and fun videoz

Aes Dana aka Vincent Villuis, composer and sound designer, Dj and co-owner of Ultimae records.

I am a big fan of Ultimae records because the music on that label has it’s roots on the Berlin Music School of electronic music, I mean the original Tangerine Dream / Klaus Schulze of the 70’s.

Leylines is an ambient work, it’s very organic and I like a lot the complex evolutions. It’s rhythmic at some point but not to a point where it’s disturbing like a Trance track. Cool music to listen when you are coding anyway.

You can listen to the album on the label web site : Aes Dana (2009) – Leylines

I bought my version on eMusic : Aes Dana (2009) – Leylines on eMusic

SUSUMU YOKOTA - Mother

Susumu Yokota is a prolific Japanese composer, this last album is still ambient but also song driven with many vocalists. The style is not strictly lounge to me, it has a unique sound that make it stand.

I first discovered him with the Symbol album, two words that define this album for me: beautiful and strange. In this album I appreciate the ambient tempos and the incredible mix of classical audio samples, Claude Debussy remixed…

The Dead Sea

A new band from Australia, they play mostly instrumental rock. Their music is very cinematic, it’s amazing on how much visuals you get in your head when you listen to their music!
