Akifumi Nakajima (中嶋昭文), a.k.a. Aube, 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 recent output has a much more ambient focus.

Sound sources in past releases have included lights (Luminous), lungs (Sigh In Depressive Blue), hearts (Cardiac Strain), glass (Shade Away), water (hydrophobia), paper (Pages From the Book), metal (Métal De Métal), et cetera. Nakajima is capable of creating compositions using virtually any sound source.

My favorite remains Flare, I love how it starts out quiet and builds up into a thunderous wall of sound

Apart from NAING NAING and AUBE, is there any other artists making whole tracks entirely from a single source of concrete sound ? Anyone knows ?

About one hundred and a half of Aube releases are available at my blog. Check it out yourself and tell your friends. Sorry for spamming, by the way.

pages from the book was not meant 2 be crazy and satanic, but peaceful. aube said: "I was worried about the use of the Bible, and I'm not anti-Christian. The label told me there would be no problems, so I did it. My sounds are a peaceful and delicate representation of it."

I just read a bunch of stuff about it and one person said the idea is better than the execution, but I'll still try it anyways.
