Aube - Flash Point

Review by Christopher Fornesa

Flash Point is an experimental ambient album by the Japanese sound artist Aube. The album features six tracks that explore the possibilities of sound manipulation and distortion. Each track is a unique sonic journey that takes the listener on a hypnotic ride through a world of sound.

The opening track, "Flash Point," sets the tone for the album with its pulsating rhythms and distorted sounds. The track builds slowly, layering sounds on top of each other until it reaches a crescendo of noise. The following track, "Thermo," is a more subdued affair, with delicate textures and subtle shifts in tone.

The album continues in this vein, with each track offering a new perspective on Aube's unique approach to sound. "Radiance" is a shimmering, ethereal piece that evokes a sense of weightlessness, while "Doppler" is a more frenetic and disorienting track that uses fast-paced rhythms and glitchy effects to create a sense of unease.

Aube was the solo project of Akifumi Nakajima (January 13, 1959 in Kyoto, Japan  September 25, 2013), begun in 1991. Taking a minimalist approach for his recordings, Nakajima used simple source sounds which were fed into his system, then heavily processed into a vast dimensional landscape of sonic textures. Source sounds ranged from the organic sounds of gurgling water, to isolating elements of technology, such as the curious hum of luminous lamps. The result is a mixture of controlled manipulation and beautiful accident. In May 1992, Nakajima started - his own cassette label dedicated to releasing experimental music, and noise, in addition to his own recordings as Aube. He worked on recordings with artists from Japan, Europe and the United States in various different capacities and designed packaging for many other releases.

Summary by Christopher Fornesa
