Aube's music in Asia, North America and Europe. He often provided work to order--a label would ask for an album based on a specific sound and he'd create it. One example of this is from 1998, when the American label Elsie and Jack Recordings asked him to create 'Pages From The Book, and the requested source was the sound of the pages of the Bible being rubbed together (the first copies of the release included fragments of the pages used in the recording). "If it is an interesting sound source, I will accept it," said Nakajima. "I'm always interested in both the sound itself and the image from the source. 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." Nakajima released his music on cassette, with exquisitely designed, often hand-made J-cards. Many of the cassette designs were elaborate, e.g. each case of his 1994 album E-Power contained a fragment of an x-ray. His 1995 album Squash was packaged in a squashed can held together by nuts and bolts; 1997's Aqua Syndrome was packaged with a bag of blue water. All tapes were numbered with unique stickers and were produced in very limited numbers, with the quantities often being as significant as the meaning of the music. The G.R.O.S.S. Envelope series, packaged in a sealed black envelope, was limited to 120 numbered copies. In the case of the G.R.O.S.S. series, the first 50 copies of each were on metal tape, the remainder on chrome tape. Many of Aube's recordings have been recently re-released. Death Nakajima died on 25 September 2013, of a Pneumothorax, at age 54. Collaborations Several compilation CDs are of note in Aube's history. Most notable, perhaps, is the Come Again compilation, released in 1991 on Vanilla Records, which contains one of the first tracks recorded under the Aube moniker. Later notable compilations include Come Again II (1993), The Japanese/American Noise Treaty (1995), and Ant-Hology (1998). Nakajima also collaborated with many Japanoise artists. They are: Club Skull with Hiroshi Hasegawa of C.C.C.C. & Fumio Kosakai of Incapacitants, SIAN with Shohei Iwasaki of Monde Bruits, Kinkakuji with Maso Yamazaki (Masonna), Ginkakuji with Hiroshi Hasegawa, Gokurakuji with Maso Yamazaki and Hiroshi Hasegawa, Loop Circuit with Dub Murashita of Dubwise, Hyper Ventilation with Dub Murashita,
