DAVID AUGUST - 'PHENOMENA' [TIMES, 2013]. CLASSICALLY TRAINED HANDS
















Hamburg's prince of electronic music?
David August’s album Times (2013) is void of age and an intimate portrayal of an astonishing young 23 year old prodigy.
Times yearns to be explored again and again, functioning on many intuitive levels. Hatching dramatic leaps in tempo and style, from cavernous bass drops akin to James Blake, through to crisp sonic distortions and instruments played directly from August’s own classically trained hands.
This personal album was written during a year off in which August fully immersed himself in his musical yearnings, realising his fanatical dedication of which love in all its facets is the main motive.
