By their first DVD release in the more than 10 year history of Aural Float, the ambient project founded by Alex Azary, Gabriel Le Mar and Pascal Feos, the three pioneers of the electronic music scene have set a multimedia-based benchmark once again. Finally, they are moving with the continuity of the origins of the project at the beginning of the nineties. Then, Azary and Le Mar hosted the legendary Sunday Chill Sessions in the Frankfurt cult club XS, Germany's first ambient club where they already worked with visuals quite intensively. From this germ cell, the Aural Float story did not only lead to their revelled debut album 'Introspectives' in 1995, but to the founding of the exclusive label platform Elektrolux as well. In 1996, the team took over the creative direction of Space Night. As a proto type of a holistic TV concept with spectacular images and visionary sound spheres, it received international attention. Until today, Space Night is a synonym for chillout. Four years later, another outstanding platform for video artists and chillout producers was created by the Aural Float masterminds: Flowmotion on the HR channel. During the past five years, about 400 videos were produced especially for Flowmotion. In 2001, the second Aural Float album, 'Freefloat', was released - a kind of musical resume of the Space Night and Flowmotion. In 2005, the musical focus continuously shifted towards modern and perfectly produced electronic pop by the third album 'Beautiful Someday' without breaking up with the ambient roots. The release is an organic consensus of chillout and song formats featuring well-known guest vocalists such as Kim Sanders, Catenia Quentin and Nada Nadia Vagioka. On 'Beautiful Someday', Aural Float, in an almost playful easiness, presented the way from experimental searching to a clearly structured high-end version of sensually-innovative pop music. With a consequent focus on Aural Float as multimedial avant-garde, 'Moving Images' includes selected Aural Float tracks as well as comprehensive bonus material in an exclusive DVD edition. The tracks are interpreted anew in an exciting way by well-known video artists, based on high quality film material. The DVD has been produced and published in cooperation with Corbis Motion, one of the world's most famous image and film agencies for digital media with headquarters in Seattle and 20 branches in North America, Asia and Europe. Among other things, the agncy already worked for Paramount Pictures. Especially at the beginning of the Aural Float project, Azary und Le Mar played countless gigs on all important European events and clubs (e.g. Interference Festival, Love Parade, Mayday, Vision CH etc.). After a three year break, they are on tour again and present their music as an optical and acoustic piece of art live on stage.
