This is an awesome piece. Except for the first stanza, which feels a little dark for the opening for Lil'Pip, the song fits quite well with the character. well played.


I really like how the music sort of "evolves" as it goes, mirroring Pip's development as she continues about the Wasteland. Very neat.

Think you could make a theme for Calamity? You already have one for Pip, Velvet, and Steelhooves, it would only make sense to come full-circle. Plus he's my favorite character, so I'd like to see what you could make of him.


DAMN 1:13 never fails to give me goosebumps, amazing work LOVE IT!


@Savci008 In this case it was the situation that brought you closer to the characters, and that itself was extremely heart wrenching. I don't want to give away plot points to the story, but it was well written enough that the situation had me shedding (manly) tears.


Again, this is wonderful stuff. I actually think it sounds kinda sad, considering the end of the last chapter. Again, well done. I'm totally buying this stuff when it's finished :)


I personally believe that "Stand Up and Fight!" by Turisas fits perfectly with Littlepip's quest to save Equestria.


I cried more than I had in a LONG time at 2:54

This song, its just playing with my emotions


Sounds friggin' awesome, as usual! I'll have to up my game! =P


I feel the overpowering urge to salute to this music, it's that inspiring. Or it could be the slightly military trumpet fanfare commanding respect, either's good, I think it's both.


I can't help it. I keep coming back.
This song is absolutely amazing, and I can't stop listening. it saddens me greatly that after all this time, you don't have more views


O.O I will never understand how you manage to blow me away everytime I listen to a song you compose.


@psychgoth I'm not the original commenter, so I can't speak for them, but after a friend got me to read the Spin-off "Project Horizons" I can rightly say it's absolutely fantastic, with perhaps the single most heart wrenching scene I have EVER read in Chapter 6 (I think it was)...  it's up to chapter 22, and the author has done a fantastic job on it.


@psychgoth The Project Horizons side-fic is an awesome addition to the main story. I'd definitely recommend taking a look at it if you haven't already. It's worth the time investment.

On a side note, I haven't subscribed to you yet, and I'm not really sure why.

*subbed*


This piece would work very well for Steelhooves also. 1:11 would be where he first arrives, firing his Grenade Machinegun.


Ohhh... I just finished the story today. Best fanfic EVER. This song cuts deep :\. AMAZING SONG THOUGH. I love it and it fits her PERFECTLY.


my gut feels weird whenever I think about this story... in a good way.


Dammit, this is awesome...

Almost makes me want to love FO:E  :(


This fanfic is just beyond words. look what it has spawned! Music like this is amazing! good job Kkat. You have written a master piece.


This song sucks me right back in to that masterpiece of a story. I wish I could have the MoM come and take away all my memories of it so I could experience it all over again.


This song is... there is just no words. You have created a true work of art with this song. Thank you psychgoth. You made a masterpiece soundtrack to go with a master piece story. I tip my hat to both you and Kkat. Thank you.


I haven't even read the fix and I already love this. Faved!


The french horn is this piece's highest point, but the whole thing fits very well. Another high point to me is 2:50 onward, I like that part as well.


@psychgoth
My solotion was (not very suprising) more ponies! :D
I think my shell finally cracked when I read Out in the Cold by EsperDerek. Best shipfic ever, imo^^


Once again my mind is unable to handle the awesome and the sad.


I'm listening to this after reading chapter 44.
Celestiadamnit, this fits her so well...


What program did you use? I can't seem to get clear sounds like this no matter how hard I try through FL, even the instruments are crystal and I, am, ENVIOUS


I'm curious, what sounds (I.E. VSTi's) do you use?


I would love a Download link for this please this music is just TOO awesome not to be on my ipod!


thats it. after listening this i simply have to re-read fallout equestria.


Compared to the mixes I make, this track you made is godlike in comparison. lol Anyways, with the names you given me, I can look into pairing what i have with them, it would cost me an arm and a leg,(maybe an organ too >.>) to get, not to mention the strain it could have on my piddly laptop. but at least I can invest in the programs and learn their nuances before getting a better PC. Thanks


Makes me think of Metroid Prime: Echoes.


Here take all my bottle caps! This is epic!


this story is awesome, but it actually makes my heart ache.


so good all i can say about it without rambling


Just checked the Bandcamp album. I'm left wondering which songs are FoE-related?
I mean, obviously "I Will Fight By Your Side" is, but "To The TARDIS" isn't.
So are we left to wonder amongst ourselves which songs are related to which fandom, or...?


this is like going on an adventre for the first time! tho I am not a fan of MLPFIM I respect it, am going to play this when I play minecraft


@nerfheardingfuzzball

Probably the same thing that allows spoken words too. Subtle audible nuances that inflict ideas on our minds.

I always use music to help me think up ideas of fics. Just close my eyes, turn up the volume, and try to imagine the events unrolling with the music.


@psychgoth

Length requirements, chapter on DA is 1000 words, but EDaily need to be at least 2-3K. So DA chapters get paired up and submitted to EDaily in one go.

It's doing well so far, 4.8 stars.


@mustangdreamer55 I never understand how I have never failed to write something awesome for ponies lol. And thank you so much ^^.


I like Dovahkiin from Skyrim. I forget the composer's name though.


Is it bad when I hit the like and favorite button when the song is only halfway through?

I hope not.


Oh Littlepip, sometimes I simultaneously love and hate you. The somewhat "corrupted" or "imperfect" personality makes her so much deeper. At one moment, I could be cursing her for having a thing for Mentals, and then rooting for her as she does what I hope is the right choice.

And for where I'm at in the story, three-weeks has probably filled her experience with more killing than any one person should go through... I wonder how even motley raiders can't take someone fresh out of a Stable...


Wouldn't 'lightbringer' be a better name for this?


@psychgoth Ha ha, they're a load of short pieces put together for ease of listening! But yes, there's a lot of them...=P
I look forward to whoever's theme you do next!


@psychgoth yeah, There's too much music that just doesn't inspire anything meaningful.

I wonder what it is about us humans that lets sound and melody have such a profound and direct influence on our emotions?


@psychgoth
Well, maybe not sad. More like... it makes me kinda sad to hear, because of what Pip realized what she must do, and what the wasteland will lose because of that (yes, I know I'm being vague. Trying to be non-spoilerific)^^


WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH...Woah...Woah. I'm pretty gosh darn sure Dawn of War has the most heroic themes ever, Starcraft is a feeble attempt to master the glory!


The quiet bit in the middle made me think a bit of the theme for the Nancy Drew PC Games, you know the one?


@Zentenski It sounds sad? I mean it IS in the key of G minor so it is a "sad" key but I feel it is more lively than sad. Even the ending "ta-daaa!" is a big-flank G major chord lol. And I greatly appreciate your willingness to buy my music ^^.


I feel so good that I was actually able to secure the gamertag Littlepip on xbox.


@Savci008 I have not looked into it, I think my brain can only handle on epic tale at a time. How good is it and is it worth the time investment?


1:13 *falls out of chair from the epicness *


I don't think I have the time to read all of this but now I might try.


Is it strange that i thought the same thing for both Littlepip and Steelhooves?


Littlepip is such an interesting character. She is truly a kindhearted soul, but the story highlights how she needs to deal with her own inner demons to get where she needs to, and how she is fully aware about how she is being torn apart by the good and bad spectra of her own personality.

What I really like about this music is that it really does seem to highlight that inner struggle that Littlepip has, while still contributing to the overall dark theme of the story. Props to you!


Steelhooves-Wheels of steel,Saxon

Homage/DJP0n-3-Spirtit of radio,Rush

Xenith-Prisoner,Iron Maiden


@P10NE3R1111 Doesn't it though? My favorite song of the series.


2:21 - the zombie ponies running after little pip, crap that has got to be scary


Sometimes the world needs a little corrupted kindness.


@nerfheardingfuzzball Aw well that's good to know my music can actually inspire emotions in people that hear it c:


@bluefeathercat Best instrument in the orchestra ;)


@gurglelord Thank you! ^^ and yes you should get to reading it,


Littlepip,The Toaster Repair Pony approved!


Holy crap! according to the statistics thing, this has more views in Russia than in the US! xD


@psychgoth
Could try not drinking so much children's blood. I tell ya, the last few chapters of Fo:E have had me loudly going fuck yeah.


@CristianApostol Coming soon a Bagpipe Brony channel near you. (there better be only one Bagpipe Brony channel near you lol). His theme is kinda hard to write seeing as what I'm envisioning can't be easily done with virtual instruments.


@TheHalcyonTwilight Well speaking of fics, how is Allegrezza doing on EqD? there are like 16 chapters on your DA but only 7 or so on EqD.


2:16 This fit's when Littlepip Killed every Pony (But one and friends Duh) in Arbo and other Rage moment.


@gurglelord I have never played Fallout and I don't think I will either. I would be disappointed after reading Fallout Equestria. And worry not! Bandcamp albums coming soon ^^


can anyone help me find where to read this fanfic?? i've been searching, and I can't find anything!

Equestra daily has all the chapters compiled just look up "Fallout equestria equestria daily"


@rowen211 I don't listen to much old rock lol. Except the ocassional KISS or Journey song. Pretty much mid 80s-up ^^. I don't know any Bon Jovi besides that one 'Raise your hands!" song from Spaceballs xD


that's why i hear is bad to listing to sad music when you are sad.... makes you even sadder.


Nein!
That should go to the composer who wrote the music for the IGN Starcraft II promo.
And then Hans Zimmer for the intro theme to Crysis 2. Most epic thing ever but also due to placing it within the context of the intro sequence.


Wish I could, sadly no experience what-so-ever


@AaronMk91 But hell, it's a story... Why am I questioning that. XP


I can't really find what Fallout Equestria is, can somebody please tell me???


@DrDissonance1 Lol thank Dr.D, I...must confess I've not found the time to completely listen to your FoE scores ^^;. The time on the Youtube videos makes me nervous lol.


@DrDissonance1 I will have to find time for them at some point,  hope you are not above nagging me about it lol.


I need the music and link ain't there. So, use a site that allows downloading YouTube vids. Even if it's pirating.


Um... Fallout was never a tabletop game.


anyone know where to get the story on the internet i keep losing where i am on the internet

@Frankin pony If you still haven't got it, you could download it from fimfiction.


@TheHalcyonTwilight Oh so there's no "extra" stuff on your DA then?


@Zentenski thanks for being vague, I've only read 28 chapters =.=


@TheHalcyonTwilight You don't love it already? Oo


@SkyMushrooms I'd kill anypony who would try to even touch Fiora in the wrong spot.

@SkyMushrooms THIS IS THE MONADO'S POWUH!

aah little pip is homage dead or am I reading that wrong?

@SkyMushrooms Don't judge me! They were creepy as hell.

@SkyMushrooms That's homophobic. I was just  very confused from the time.

@Littlepip yeah just if you find any PTM's I'll hold on to them 'k

@paul the flaming brony Oh. I do need those extra levels, so...


@psychgoth

Sadly not, a couple of one-shots and shorts, but nothing major.


Uhh, no, it actually wasn't.  Look it up.


Are you kidding? This is a crappily mixed track. Do yourself a favor and invest in a DAW meant for more than just beats. Get Cubase, or Logic if you want to write both orchestral and electronic. Once you've got that, get some good orchestral libraries. The Kontakt library and maybe East West Symphonic Gold would be enough to start you off. These will be basic until you can afford more luxurious libraries though.


@psychgoth

Eh, just couldn't get into it...nvm...


No, if that's the case then buying the programs would be a waste of money. You need a high performance computer to work with music seriously. I (went cheap) bought a 2012 Quad core macbook pro and put 16 gigs of RAM. I also bought a 2 Terabyte external hardrive with firewire 800 capability. I should have gotten Thunderbolt, but I couldn't afford it. You need to keep your library samples on an external hardive because the strain will destroy your internal drive.
