Aurory: Fusing Kinetic Energy with Middle Eastern Textures
Behind the Scenes of ‘Go Fast’: A Deep Dive into Collaboration, Structural Contrast, and Creative Evolution
Stepping forward with a release that balances energy with cultural nuance, Aurory’s latest track, ‘Go Fast,’ captures a dynamic interplay between driving electronic foundations and Middle Eastern-inspired textures. Built around a collaboration with vocalist Emma LX, the production unfolds with intention, gradually revealing its full character as it progresses.
In this conversation, Aurory opens up about the creative process behind the track, from shaping its evolving arrangement to navigating the balance between originality and impact.
Hi Aurory, thanks for joining us! Tell us, what inspired you to start writing and producing "Go Fast"?
I wanted to create a track with a Middle Eastern vibe (which you can hear around minute 2:20), and also collaborate with Emma LX, a friend of mine. I thought it would be great to work together, as she’s very talented. The track came together naturally.
Was there a specific atmosphere or "feeling" you were trying to capture when you started the project?
I was aiming to capture a Middle Eastern atmosphere. You can really feel it in the main section, at minute 2:20, where the track reaches its full expression and energy.
Interestingly, some artists have asked me why I didn’t introduce that melody earlier in the track, and honestly, they have a point!!
Did the track evolve naturally, or did you have a strict blueprint in mind before you started?
It evolved naturally. Of course, you start with some go-to sounds that you may have used in other tracks, but you keep shaping and refining them, so the whole project feels coherent.
This track was originally created to be released alongside another one, which will come out soon, and that one has an even stronger Middle Eastern influence.
In general, every track needs to evolve throughout the process, whether through filter movements, modulation, or subtle atmospheric layers. That’s exactly how I’m trying to grow as an artist.
How does "Go Fast" represent your evolution since you first embarked your musical project?
This is my first significant collaboration with a well-established vocalist. Emma LX has worked with top artists, and I’m really proud she helped me on this track.
What does a typical day in the studio look like when you are working on a project like 'Go Fast'?
Focus is key. A studio session without a clear mind is a waste of time and can even harm the project. It also depends on where you are in your journey, but I usually start with the main drop and then work on the arrangement afterwards, spending a lot of time developing the core idea first.
I also like to share my work with other artists to get honest and transparent feedback. Sometimes, it’s great to be in a studio environment, like the one I often go to in Barcelona, where you can meet different artists.
Did you face any particular challenges while arranging the track, and how did you overcome them?
The most challenging part for me is the arrangement, because you need to create interest even in sections that can feel less engaging, like the intro and the outro. It’s a crucial moment where I always try to do something different, sometimes starting strong, other times building a more gradual structure, where I progressively give more to the listener and create increasing tension.
I think that’s the real challenge: constantly bringing something fresh, while also understanding that listeners today often decide within seconds whether to stay or skip.
So, you need to capture their attention and inspire them right from the very beginning (without losing your identity at the same time).
Were there any specific tools or software that were essential to the creation of ‘Go Fast’?
The software I use is well known in the industry, so there are no real secrets there.
What is the one thing you want listeners to notice about the production of this track?
I definitely created a track that has two very different sections. The first part features a production with no Middle Eastern influences, while the second part, starting at minute 2:20, is heavily inspired by those regions. This makes the track unique, as it feels like two songs within one.
How do you decide which "fresh details" make the final cut and which ones are left out?
I believe ear testing is fundamental in music, especially revisiting and testing again in the following days to understand whether the sound remains consistent with the overall production. It’s important to ensure there’s a logical cohesion between all the elements, the instruments, the arrangement, and whatever you’ve just added.
Finally, what is the next creative goal for Aurory?
From a creative standpoint, I’m trying to maintain a different approach compared to what’s currently within the industry, without losing focus on what matters most: the low-end frequencies, which ultimately define the energy of the track.
I haven’t yet reached a precise sound design that truly represents me, but I’m experimenting as much as possible to find a sound that feels authentic. I definitely want to keep an energetic approach to electronic music, while also preserving an innovative edge, constantly pushing myself to be different from what’s already out there.
