David August "The Definition Of Happiness" - Live Session - 18.06.15.

Improvisation and Alfred Hitchcock form the core of the German artist's standout performance.

In preparation for his RA Session, David August sourced a voice sample of Alfred Hitchcock and composed some bass sounds. He then took the words of the revered film director as inspiration and built a completely improvised piece—one he's never performed before, and will never perform again. It was only a few years back that August was a DJ with a vague idea that he'd like to just play live. These days he's one of the biggest draws in dance music, finishing 2014 as the #4 live act on our annual list. August has got there through the strength of his live show and a compelling signature sound. His sets blend musicianship with technical nous in a way that makes his efforts obvious to the audience—far from "pressing play," in other words. As for his style, August made his name through a run of melodically rich club tracks for Diynamic Music and, most recently, Dixon and Âme's all-conquering Innervisions label. As on last year's "Epikur," he conjures emotions without resorting to clichés, delaying gratification until the moment is just right.

Nicolas Jaar X David August - Night Flight Vol.2

This piece of music is called Goldene Acht or Pale Clouded Yellow, a bright yellow butterfly with a figure-eight shaped pattern on its lower outer wings. As a migratory butterfly, an individual animal travels often several hundreds of kilometers. Over the year, the species produces three or even four generations. The last generation overwinters as a caterpillar. With this track I wanted to tell you about this never-ending journey from south to north and back again in several generation steps. Therefore new theme-generations appear in the track constantly, while having all the same migratory direction. At the same time it was also my endeavour to picture the elfin nature of this marvellous creature in a musical way. Every year I can observe it in my garden and enjoy its elegant flight from blossom to blossom for hours with childish astonishment.

Dieses Musikstück heißt Goldene Acht, ein leuchtend gelber Schmetterling der ein Muster in Form einer Acht auf den unteren Außenflügeln trägt. Als Wanderfalter legt ein Individuum oft mehrere hundert Kilometer zurück. Über das Jahr bringt die Art drei oder sogar vier Generationen hervor, bei denen die letzte Generation als Raupe überwintert. Diese permanente Wanderschaft von Süden nach Norden und wieder zurück in mehreren Generations-Etappen, möchte ich in diesem Track erzählen. Daher tauchen immer wieder neue Abschnitte von Klangmotiven auf, die aber alle stets die selbe Zugrichtung haben. Gleichzeitig war es aber auch mein Bestreben das elfenhafte Wesen dieses wunderschönen Geschöpfes musikalisch zu skizzieren. Jedes Jahr kann ich den Falter ausgiebig auf der Wiese vor meinem Haus beobachten und könnte seinem eleganten Flug von Blüte zu Blüte stundenlang mit kindlicher Begeisterung zuschauen.
