Behind the scenes - Further Than Time
10 years ago
General
A year ago I got to know Fox Amoore more personally over one of the Instant Messaging channels, and got to know eachother a little more over time, and then further beyond, then decided to work together for collaborations, I said alright, why not! I know what he was capable of since I was following his works for quite a long time now. I have been since 2007, but surely a year later I was following almost every one of his soundtracks he began producing. He sure already had quite talent back then, but how much he improved also made me amaze on his masterpieces. Each time he surpassed his limits when I was listening. Then I knew he is the man I am looking for, but that time I was just too shy to approach.
Then EF 20 happened, and with his Keepers of the Light OST he did sure left qutie a great imprint in my life about the feels he was able to offeer through an amazing showcase of events. [ Into the light ] Was the part where the emotions were reaching to heart the deepest and it also inspired me for a great moment I captured through its emotion [Here].
Ever since I told him about this success he made, we keep in touch and so we gladly hear eachother's opinions when it comes for a collaboration, where the moments of feeling can combine well together in audio, and visuals. I have never done any collaboration before like this, but it sure had a magical feeling to it, so I put my procrastinations, lazy side aside and started working on my [First] with him.
We kept doing it for a while till one day he decided to make a Theme song for me, which I was utterly glad about, so we began storming ideas, what elements should be used, and which feelings should be aimed as well.
Since I love sci-fi to a degree that it defines my fursona to a major point, I was aiming for the impression obtained through Interstellar, Deus Ex - Human Revolution, and some tracks of M83's Oblivion(Not the game).
He came up with the First work in progress phase with just the leading rhythm. - I immediately liked wher this was leading to. It was just barely a minute.
The Second version already had me stop chewing on my meal when I first heard the improvement on the song. It was that impressive. I had to bring my isolation headphones, and the feels that went through my spine was something new, but yet familiar, when you feel so satisfied with something that you don't know how further can you express your happiness.
It was yet again a great improvement. It started to sound even more futuristic, looking for a brighter future. Just the way it was meant to be. The synths there were the part.
From that time on I KNEW he was well aware of the feeling of the music I was looking for. I have had no idea how he managed to capture it this perfect... But he did it! And then I started to consider wearing aluminum foil hat.
Jokes aside he shown further progress that were already sounding so perfect, even my parents who were reviewing it, told me "It sounds so perfect so far that it can be also called done." Even I believed that it must be the pinnacle of it, but yet again I was wrong about it. There was always something more that could make it even better, and Fox did it!
I already began working on my part of the cover for this magnificent music. I have had 3 fine sounding idea, but then I had to listen to Fox this time for how easy solution he provided. And it was the most fitting among all.
As Bob Ross already taught me through his videos, which I enjoyed watching, I began with the background the same way towards the viewer. I believe this was something we had in common with Fox for how he began with the rhythms, which gives the basic structure of the music, and background for my artwork. It tells the light and colors in the basics, the whole feeling of it. Then I wanted to give a try on my very own character I have had not drawn in this epic setting for quite a long time, and the result was something astonishing. There were two of my friend telling me in all honesty I surpassed myself with this piece already.
Be sure to check this amazing soundtrack he composed! [Here]
Even though at the end I have been working on this artwork for days, I think it totally worth it! All I need to do now is letting my engines cool down, then I can work again on other projects as well.

The same passions you describe between you and Foxes creative collaborations are the same things I feel when I compose my own music. I strive to make every new album sound better than the last. Same goes for my visual art to represent my songs. When I compose, I have a story in my head. A narrative that is expressed by a sequence of songs. I consider this painting with soundwaves -v- I feel wonderful when I complete each piece. When it all comes together I cannot describe just how good it feels ^v^ I have a very strong appreciation and respect for artists like yourself who are just as passionate in their creativity as I am with my own art.
