"Aube" is a French term.
It means "white", "dawn" and "coat in white".

At the dawn, the sky is growing white.
The white sky resides till the visitation of the night.
The white sky at day time might be an aftermath of "Aube".

In the picture, a gigantic rock floats and white sky exists behind it.
"Aube" seems a background supporting the floating of the rock.


Well, here is another identity for the term "Aube".

It is a solo sound-generative unit that Akifumi Nakajima
started in the beginning of the 1990s.

Aube utilizes various materials and phenomena existing in our daily life
as sound source of which its music consists.
Matters as the sound source include the followings.

Nature and organism like fire, earth, water, air, ice, glass, stone, and metal.
Vibration generators like fluorescent lamp, glow lamp, one voltage controlled oscillator,
and analog synthesizer.
Biological signals as brain wave, heart beat, blood flow,
and magnetic resonance spectroscopy [MRS].

In the use of these organic collaborators, Akifumi gives a strict rule.
Aube is limited to use only one matter as the sound source in one piece of music
both in studio recording and live.

In its music, the sound from the source is metamorphosed in dynamic manner.
It should be noted that the metamorphosis is the process
that the essence of the source material or phenomenon is exposed.
