The Story Unfolds | The Fahrenheit Project series

Let us carry on…

Once Code Eternity was released, it was evident to create a compilation bringing together artists from around the world whose work coincide with our visions of Ambient, Downtempo and Ethno Chill. Vincent came up with the idea of Fahrenheit as the title to define the different climatic and geographic origins of the composers and the musical mood or texture, and, since we quickly envisioned a series, we started calling it the Fahrenheit Project. Over the course of a decade, from 2001 to 2011, we released seven volumes. Each chapter marked a step in our evolving exploration of this music genre.

One of the most beautiful aspects of curating this series was the way it sparked unexpected encounters and creative bonds. This spirit of artistic transmission and mutual appreciation became a core element of the compilations and especially of Ultimae.

The compilations are fertile grounds for creative emergence. Most of the artists we collaborate with, Solar Fields, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Cell, Miktek, James Murray, to name just a few, first contributed a single track before going on to compose full albums for Ultimae, allowing time to nurture and share their creativity.

As both a curator and a composer, Vincent Villuis aka AES Dana, shaped the project from the inside out, creating bridges between artists, tracks, and listeners.

This being said, we now invite you to click on the link below and press play…

Warehouse Discovery | Granite by Martin Nonstatic

While preparing your packages, we uncovered two boxes with 50 pristine copies, quietly waiting to resurface, of Martin Nonstatic‘s first album to be released on Ultimae, Granite.
This rediscovery also brings back the Granite Pack, including the album on CD, Nebulae Live at the Planetarium on CD and Granite Remixes EP with versions by AES Dana, Esko Barba and James Murray.

It feels like finding a long-lost chapter of our story and we’re happy to share it with you again, in very limited quantity.

About shipping to the U.S.A. | Where we stand…

Greetings!

With new rules in place about tariffs, the French Post Office is not able to ship to the U.S.A. at the moment even though there is an exception for “informational media” which includes vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, books, sheet music, and other items.

Right now, carriers like UPS, FedEx, and DHL Express are still shipping to the U.S.A., but prices might be higher than usual. Besides, although we write clear information on the package content and provide HS codes there could still be some delays with these services or customs, and we can’t promise everything will go perfectly.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions.

With our warmest regards,
The Ultimae Team

Since then we’ve been packing your records as fast, but especially as carefully, as we can and shipping to you.
As AES Dana will be joining some of the Ultimae artists at the Ozora Festival for a few days, things will pause briefly on the logistic front.
Our aim is to have all orders on their way by the end of the week.

We thank you sincerely for your understanding and support.

The Story Unfolds | Code Eternity – The Beginning

Every story has a beginning.
Ours began with a sound.
Deep, luminous, aetherial.

At the time, the label was called Infinium Records, a name that would soon evolve into Ultimae.

Asura was then a trio composed of Charles Farewell, Christopher Maze, and Vincent Villuis, who would later leave the band to found AES Dana and co-create H.U.V.A. Network with Solar Fields.

Code Eternity became our foundation, a collection of soundscapes where dreams and memories converge. Each track carried the promise of something greater: a space for introspection, a journey through emotion, a vision beyond borders.

A journalist once described it as:
“Ambient with a real kick.”
We couldn’t have said it better.

We didn’t yet know how far this music would take us, how it would resonate across time, geographies and people.
But we felt it in our bones: this was the start of something…

Code Eternity is still with us.
Thank you for listening, then and now.
