I always find myself coming back to this one.. It's such a unique blend of genres, I've really never found anything else quite like it.

First time listening to this and I really like it a lot, I love how it manages to mix into electro with bagpipes. ^_^

Great tune, although I'm sure some of those notes would be impossible on a standard chanter.

@Thomas Taylor On a highland pipe chanter this is impossible, but when I wrote this song I was really into German medieval bagpipes. They play in the key of A minor and G major.

Awe yeah! I can feel a warm energy corsing though my chest into my limbs, hairs standing up on end. It's funny it's been awhile since I've listened to this, being a long time I got the fleeing around the bag pipes and extended time of bag pipes.

@Lois Cook It's a remake of one of his earlier songs... I can't remember the name off hand of what the old title was, fairly sure it was a different one. Back when he went by Bagpipe Brony primarily.(Hence, the pipes.)

I can't remember my song's old title either, but I think it was "Rain, Thunder, and Lightning" to represent Vinyl, Octavia, and my bagpipe playing OC. Needless to say, this is a much better name lol.

I still come back to this piece and am amazed. Now there are a few changes I would make to make it seem like it has a beginning, middle, and end, but thats just theory. They are there, but lets just say that my music sucks right now because I get so freakin critical over my own music. This is really pleasant to listen to and makes it so much easier to be emotional when I need it. Really hope your still at it with music. 6 years ago and the fandom was booming and you made this amazing melody. God bless

@PsychGoth It's an old real time strategy game for the old computers, made by Westwood. It came out for Computer windows 98. although XP was able to run it as well, and it came out 1998. You have three houses Atreides, Harkonnen, and thr Ordos. It was originally a a Novel, then they made a few movies. But If you still have one of those old computers running, and somehow manage to find that game somewhere, I highly recommend it. And for it's time, the graphics are great.

It really isn't worth all the jealousy, hatred, and ladder climbing just to get faceless strangers to like me. Or to get established "horse famous" musicians to talk to me.

I'll tell you right now, if you're getting into pony music, then be sure it's because you love the show and not it's fandom. Otherwise you'll risk perverting yourself like I did.

@PsychGoth somebody asks a legitimate question and gives you a simple reason for it, attempting to gain some sort of connection between the two. No criticism at all here was nothing wrong with it. You're the only one being a dick, and there were no threats. I understand the need to make music perfect because iam a musician. Please don't make me hate you because you like to take offense to small things.

I stand by what I said, he could have avoided striking a nerve by simply not answering his own question. A question which now clearly seems rhetorical in nature. Also this clown was speaking as if my song was doing a disservice to the artwork. I'll have you know, the artist himself was pleased to have it featured.

Actually, I don't know why I'm even explaining myself to a stranger. I'm glad you don't yet hate me, but even if you did, there are others where you came from. I'm not a dick, but I am very proud, and there shouldn't be anything wrong with being who I am.

@PsychGoth Hello, PsychGoth, or BabPipe Brony, what tools do you use? I'd be very interested if I knew the tools so I could get the same one for myself.

@skyrimkillereh
I use FL Studio with all the extra plugins. Third party stuff I use is Massive, FM7, and a vast array of soundfonts I downloaded from DeviantArt.  I can't name everything off the top of my head, I've been amassing the tools of the trade for over 5 years.

Just a question. Would you be able to show me a few things? As you would naturally have much more experience than I.

No, I'm sorry but I don't have the means to make tutorials or show anyone anything. I'm also a very bad teacher.

Do you want to fight me? Is that it? I told him I couldn't teach, and why.

you didn't say you couldn't. You said you didn't want to and made excuses. I do not wish to fight so I'm leaving it at that.

I said I don't have the means to make tutorials. I can't teach anyone because I'm also bad at giving direction.

How about you just show a video of you making music? Not the music itself, like what goes into it, by just making music. (I hope for spoilers for a new song this way.)

Lol, that'd be cool if I wasn't so unfocused when producing music.
