Here we see David August flexing his musical muscles in a collaborative project with Deutsches Symphonie Orchester Berlin and Frieder Nagel (who proposed the idea). A live performance in which he presents his musical composition “X - Poème Symphonique”; a poem that relies upon melodies and musical performance, instead of words, to express itself.

The performance showcases a 50 piece classical symphonic orchestra, coupled with the electronic arsenal of the two musicians. A hybrid force, for which both artists have composed a full 50-minute symphony, - a feat arguably done for the first time ever.

Performed at Radialsystem V in Berlin, we’re stoked to present coverage of this stunning performance. Sit back and feel your jaw drop.
