    "I guess in four or five years, the new generation’s music will be.. maybe it will be.. it might rely heavily on electronics, tapes… I can kind of envision maybe one person with a lot of machines, tapes, and electronics set up, singing or speaking and using machines."
    - Jim Morrison, 1969

"Imagino a una persona con un montón de máquinas y sintetizadores, cantando, hablando, usando estas máquinas", finalizó. Jim Morrison, 1969

    Alfred Hitchcock:
    "A clear horizon, nothing to worry about on your plate. Only things that are creative and not destructive. That's within yourself, within me I can't bear quarreling I can't bare feelings between people. I think hatred is wasted energy. It's all nonproductive. I'm very sensitive. A sharp word said by say a person who has a temper if they're close to me hurts me for days. I know we're only human, we do go in for these various emotions, call them negative emotions, but when all these are removed and you can look forward and the road is clear ahead and now you're going to create something. I think that's as happy as I would ever want to be."

    The ceramic sounds is randomize for first 4 minutes. When Hitchcock says "now you're going to create something" ceramic sounds getting together for the first time and when Hitchcock is done August can look forward and the road is clear and then the ceramic sounds getting together again. David you are a genius and you are the definition of happiness for me. !

      +Roman Semchuk 1 - You are not being intelligent by saying that this is "intelligent music", because if you were intelligent you would not feel the need of saying that this is intelligent music just because it's underground and you like it.
      2 - Go have a look on my channel and watch some recent videos, I can enjoy 2 types of totally different music. Am I a genius? Lol, don't be a intellectual wannabe.

      Well, your comment doesn't sound to me intelligent too, if to be honest. And that's for the following reasons:
      1) If you were intelligent, mature and wise person, you wouldn't write any kind of such comment at all :)
      2) Yes, I like underground but not because it's cool but because I like it! And exactly that's why I visit lots of local underground events where DJs play what they like. Especially I'm amaized with those guys who play beautiful ambient, electronic and techno on pure analog synthesizers. Believe me, it's not that easy and when you realize it, then you appreciate such musicians/DJs as David August and others much more!
      3) How can you make any conclusions about the person just from 1 comment on youtube? You gotta be really a genius :)
      And last but not least... My comment wasn't to you but to David August, who is very gifted in my opinion and "feels" the music pretty damn good.
      So relax and stay positive!
      P.S. Your "intelligent" channel looks stuffed with useless video games. So yeah, looks like you're doing good! Cheers!

      1) That's not a reason, no explanation.
      2) I like it too. [...] "where DJs play what they like", why you say that? Other DJs don't? Yes... Maybe the resident DJs on "popy" clubs. (Here I'm protecting the "mainstream DJs").
      3) I didn't made a conclusion about you, don't be a drama queen. I just said what I can see from that comment and of a lot of people comments too, just don't make sense. The work "intelligent" is not appropriated. Not at all. I suggest "experimental".
      About the P.S.: Do you know videogaming so well you can say that's useless? I don't think so... But yeah, I can understand your opinion. I post those videos for fun. Btw, I was talking about the ones of me on a DVBBS concert. *let the hate begin*
      I'm positive, trust me. I just can't stand on people who feel more intelligent or intelectual than others just for listening to a certain type of music.

      Yeah, yeah... Another "smart" Julien... Blah-blah-blah... You're boring, guys!
      To all "smart" guys....
      Be smart and don't waste time on reading my "retarted" comments. Just relax and listen to the music! ;)
      P.S. My comment was addressed initially to David August, who except "blah-blah" can also do something great and real, at least in terms of music.

    What is your definition of happiness?
    A clear horizon.
    Nothing to worry about
    on your plate.
    Only sins that are creative
    and not destructive.
    A sharp word
    said by say a person who has a temper.
    If they're are close to me
    it hurts me for days.
    I know we are only human
    we do going for these various emotions,
    call them negative emotions.
    But when all thees are removed
    and you can look forward
    and the road is clear ahead
    and now you can create something.
    And thats as happy as i would ever want to be!
    Words that changed my life! Thank you so much David August and Daniele you lovely Person!!!!
