Aube
1. Aube (French for “dawn”, “water-turbine”, “white cloth”, a river’s name, etc.) was the name used by musician Akifumi Nakajima (中嶋昭文) (1959 - September 25, 2013) from Kyoto, Japan for his experimental noise records. He had released many CDs, LPs, and cassettes since 1990, and is regarded as one of the most important noise musicians of all time.
The essential element of his Aube project is that each record is composed with only a single material source, manipulated and processed using various types of electronic equipment. He has built up quite a portfolio of material, usually revolving around a specific sound source. His early works are very much noise-based, while his later output has a much more ambient focus.
The sound sources used in Aube's releases include bulbs (Luminous), lungs (Sigh In Depressive Blue), a heartbeat (Cardiac Strain), glass (Shade Away), water (Hydrophobia), paper (Pages From The Book), metal (Métal De Métal), etc. Nakajima was capable of creating compositions using virtually any sound source.
On December 9, 2013, it was discovered by Eric Lanzillotta, a friend of his, that Akifumi had died on September 25, 2013 from a lung-related condition.
