Asura is a French ambient and downtempo music project known for its lush soundscapes and atmospheric compositions that blend electronic, world, and cinematic music. Originally formed in 1996 by Charles Farewell and Vincent Villuis, Asura became Charles Farewell's solo project after Villuis departed in 2001 to pursue his own venture, Aes Dana. With a career spanning over two decades, Asura has become a key figure on the Ultimae Records label, which is renowned for its high-quality ambient and psybient releases.
Asura’s music often combines deep, hypnotic rhythms with melodic synth lines, ethnic influences, and a strong cinematic feel, creating immersive sonic journeys that have made albums like Code Eternity, Life², and 360 favorites among fans of chillout and trance-influenced ambient. Whether featured on compilations like Kumharas Ibiza or in solo albums like Radio Universe and Eternal Sunshine, Asura has consistently delivered deeply textured electronic music that feels both meditative and grand in scope.
