Bravo! Sounds great! I do so love the sound of some good diminished chords. :3

@psychgoth Well truly it is a beautiful tune, I love me any good classical music. You have great talent for composing music and equal talent for playing it. Magnificent job.

@psychgoth Well, when dealing with a minor key (specifically when dealing with harmonic minor), if you build a chord on the raised seventh you get a diminished chord. For example, say we're in the key of A minor. To get the harmonic minor out of it, we raise the G to G#. If you build a regular triad on top of the G# you get, G#-B-D (following the notes of the scale of course). This is a G#dim chord, and it gives you a depressed/angry/melancholy sound depending on how you use it. Con't.

Well, I love Bach too. And it is the kind of music that seems to speak of Creation. Hmmm... Ah well. It's just a stylistic difference. I still like it just fine, and the more I listen to it the more I like it.

@megatfreak As far as the difference between major/minor and augmented/diminished chords go, it's kind of like taking a minor or major chord to the extreme. To get an augmented chord, you take the major chord and just raise the fifth (G-B-D would become G-B-D#, thus G augmented). To get a diminshed chord you just take the minor chord and lower the fifth (G-Bb-D would become G-Bb-Db, Gdim), or take the major chord and lower both the 3rd and 5th (G-B-D becomes G-Bb-Db). See? :)

@AJTalon Well that is purely a visionary style difference. I am heavily influenced by Baroque period music and Bach in general so I guess it shows in any classical style pieces I try and compose. The only way I could achieve spacey is to use something w/ a whole-tone scale but I kinda dislike that to be honest.

AJTalon 2011-08-01 21:20:00

While it's not badly composed, I think for Luna the piece needs to feel more darker, more spacey to reflect the darkness of her imprisonment. Something deep and dark and epic. This feels more like a Victorian vampire's lament rather than that of a goddess trapped in a lifeless moon staring across the gulf of space.

@megatfreak I was also going for a Baroque sound but tried to do it without Harpsichords or Organ. That probably wasn't the most thought out idea lol.

@megatfreak Lol thanks! Ironically, I don't know the technical aspects of Sus or Diminished or Augmented chords ^^; the whole sharp/ flat 6th thing confuses me. The only thing I knew from the get-go was that the sharp seventh made this song in G harmonic minor. ^^

@ricardogriva Thanks, and yeah it was supposed to be kinda short. This piece was originally titled "jealously is magic" and once my crazy fit of anger an jealousy was over there was no more passion for the music. So I cut it right there.

@megatfreak lol it's funny how I know this when I see myself playing on a keyboard but it's technical names and aspects slip my mind ^^;. I think I need to pay more attention next time in Theory. Did you know, 3 years ago I dropped out of theory class? xD It was too hard at the time. Well, and you had a bunch of corequisits that didn't help too.

@UserWithoutAnyName Well who wrote the history books in MLP's universe? Considering Luna was on the moon got 1000 years it wasn't her, so the books are biased in favor of Celestia. That's what was being suggested XD, it's a joke.

He didn't attack you, you misread his grammar. It's the curse of the english language bro. When he said " that you don't give a fuck about anyone but yourself and you hurt people around you", he wasn't talking to you saying that YOU don't, he was saying that it was what the symptoms were. The second part of his message wasn't really attacking you. He really didn't do much wrong other than a bad choice of words.

@psychgoth Some people just grasp a subject better one way than another. I'm sort of the opposite of you in that respect I suppose. I can rattle off all the technical names and definitions all day long, but put me in front of a keyboard and I slow way down. I can still work it out, it just takes about 5x longer.

I only saw the two that was in the chain. If you're talking about: "selfish dumb like you", I know it's wrong, but you said the same about him, before (fine, less strong): "your kind of people" and after: "insufferable idiot like that guy". So it's kind of both ways. I'm not trying to annoy or hurt you or anything (I'm really sorry if I am), but I'm just trying to point out that you might have overreacted to him. By the way, since you're reading this... your music is awesome!!! /)
