about

(original 2005 press-release)
Akifumi Nakajima is probably best known under his AUBE alias. He's been producing & releasing music for around thirteen years now.
This "Water 1990" reissue was composed before AUBE began (hence why it's released under Akifumi's real name) for an exhibition in Kyoto, "Water 1990" by Arichi+Sasaoka. It was then released on a 46min tape in a limited edition of 50 copies.
Those who know early AUBE releases should be quite surprised by this work as it's not noisy at all. Mainly (but not only) composed using water, it also includes synthesizer and the result is rather unexpected, very ambient and melodic...

(2017 notes)
It's with great pleasure that we can now propose you a digital version of this long sold-out cd-r release. We've been asked several times to reissue it but as Akifumi is no longer with us and as we never talked at the time about a possible reissue/digital issue of "water 1990", we were reluctant to do it. Now that Satoru Higashiseto, who is in charge of Akifumi's artistic legacy on behalf of his sister, has given us the permission, we can propose you this digital version. There might be another physical edition in the future but we don't know yet how/if it will happen.
The download comes with the original cover & CD label designed by Akifumi Nakajima.
