For some, music is just a variety of sounds organized in an harmonious way, a mean to express feelings or a tangible vibration of pleasure and emotions. But for even fewer people, music transcends life, it flows through air to touch people's heart and never stop to resonate in the infinite universe and space. Those are the ones who really weave their creativity to some sort of sacred soundscape and elevate their production to an holy state. Pharos, is one of them. Music is the stimulus that we are all exposed to. What lives makes music : from the crackling of crawling ants to the whispering of wind and trees. You can't deny it and it's up to your own self to be sensitive to your environment, to what surrounds you, how the music affects you, your thoughts, your mood. But you are probably wondering why am I talking about all of this, right? When I first heard "Filthy Keys", I was simply astonished by the quality of the track. The musical flow is deep and intense : Within the first notes of piano, your heart floats over the sound, traveling with the intro to a fantastic world of epicness. But be aware, the intricate break beat drums are not going to let you fall asleep on this journey! All the song during, you are taken to places you would never have thought of, result of a luxuriant creativity and a meticulous attention given to every dimension of Pharos's masterpiece. This one is no casual Dubstep song. Filthy Keys tells a story where you are the main character. The contrast between the name savor and the mood of the music is surprising, do not fool yourself, the only thing that is filthy here is Pharos's lack of imperfection!
But hey... Who is Pharos? Before going any farther let us recall some history facts! The Lighthouse of Alexandria, also known as the Pharos of Alexandria , was a tower built between 280 and 247 BC on the island of Pharos at Alexandria, Egypt. Its purpose was to guide sailors into the harbour at night time. With a height variously estimated at somewhere in-between 393 and 450 ft (120 and 140 m), it was for many centuries among the tallest manmade structures on Earth. It was also one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Pharos probably was inspired by this historical wonder when he thought of his alias. This amazing electronic producer answers to the name of Brian Murphy and come from Seattle, in the United States. Pharos have worked with music for a long time now, starting with breakbeats on Fruityloops in about 97'sh. He also went to school for audio production at Full Sail in 2002 and started working with hip hop from then on till about 4 months ago. His productions now pretty much hang all around dubstep and for him... "it's addicting to say the least".
He also have 3 tunes up on Beatport and iTunes that you can get here :

@BlakPalisadeOfficial You mean the effect I use to make my videos?
TheBBCMusic 5 months ago
@TheBBCMusic Yes! rather than just a picture, you have a tspinning record and red analyzers? how do you do that?
BlakPalisadeOfficial 5 months ago
@BlakPalisadeOfficial The intro is made in AE CS5 using TrapCode Particular and the spectrum analyzer is a combination of Optical Flare and Trapcode Sound Keys as well as other effects, done in AE CS4.
After Effects is definitely the way to go when looking to make those kind of videos. I've also heard about C4D but never used it. Nevertheless, this software seems to create breath-taking effects (as well as AE). Hope it'll help you ;)
