"Electronica Album of The Year" award recipient. - L.A. Music Awards
"When I listen to Aime I am transported into a zone of absolute electronica, where the beats and haunting melodies combine to produce an overall ambience of pure trance. These are not factory unit shifted songs designed to make you groove but rather, they are thoughtful soundscapes, each an individual journey into Aime's intricate spiritual realm. 'When You Place Your Hands Over Your Eyes' is a brilliant piece of music. The entire album melds from one tone to the next, playful yet deeply sincere. Highly Recommended"

aime is drifting in every direction. crisp percussion over a thin blanket of ambience with the most ethereal quality.
this is electronica in the undefinable genre and each song keeps me guessing in which subconcious realm i will travel next.

Bio
Los Angeles resident Fran Dominguez a.k.a. Aimé is an electronic artist/hip-hop beat-maker, occasionally likened to artists such as Boards of Canada, Ulrich Schnauss and the Icelandic band Amiina and French duo Air, for his more hybridized orchestral styles.
Following the success of his first album "Place Your Hands Over Your Eyes" that included accolades (Los Angeles Music Awards “Electronic Album of the Year” 2007), diverse college and internet radio airplay and licensing agreements with AudioSocket, Little Mud Music Publishing, Note Born Music Company, Jonesville Music Publishing and Karnal Promotions, Aimé has since gone on to produce music for cable channels (Plum Television, Comcast Cable Programming), short films (“Cop” 2009) and has remixed the work of artists both mainstream (Radiohead, Beyonce, Minus The Bear, Gorillaz, Brian Eno & David Byrne, Whitney Houston, Boards Of Canada) and underground (Pinklogik, The Dead Amps).
Currently looking for label distribution for follow up to "Place Your Hands Over Your Eyes" album. The follow up album is titled "Times When I Know You Will Watch the Sky".
