Fabulous and incredibly beautiful. Thank you, psychgoth.


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


Beautiful! To be honest I dont have much of a clue about the pictures that inspired this song, but none the less the music is simply beautiful! Amazing job.


It's like an explosion of passion and emotion... chills. Don my spine


This song is too damn short and too damn good! I would love for it to be longer!


*jaw drops* That was amazing! And it really suits her, too. =D


@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.


That was amazing you should do more of it


Ah... I don't care if it was perfect, it was a beautiful attempt, thank you sir!


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.


This is definitely when of the best ones yet..


so beautiful! seriously a masterpiece. you beat bethoven! xD but srsly. you do.


@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? :)


I hope you don't mind, but I put a link to this video in an explanation I typed up to someone about why it's worthwhile to watch this show. :)

Great stuff!  It's a really moving song.


Lmao, I love it, 'You're either a troll or an emo kid about to be a statistic' xD Oh and the music too :D Kinda fit it when my curiosity kicked in and i read the conversation. You got another sub and i'll see if i can persuade some of my music loving friends to listen to your creations.

Also, You wouldn't happen to be working on a song for Octavia would you?


@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.


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.


O.o
This one needs more views. I loved it. Need more!!! Pwety pwease :)


@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. ^^


This reminded me about Past Sins (obviously not luna, but Nyx) when nightmare moon locks her door and throws a fit.


This might be necroposting and given it's been nine years maybe futile to ask but by any chance do you still have the score for this composition?

@LaRaikaa Would it be possible to purchase a copy?


When I saw, "This song may get load" I turned up my head phones ALL THE WAY!


@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.


@RandomAccountName88 Why thank you! ^^ It means a lot for you to chose my song for such a task.


@CommanderSazabi316 Thank you kindly ^^ I'll take the compliment for composing music but I'm afraid I've never been much of a performer (lol that's what she said)


@DarkraiDiety Well thank you c: The best one of what? My pieces or Luna's fan music in general?


@Al3xxei  Thanks! I don't know how or where to check it out on EqD though. /=


@Overkillius lol cool, I in fact just finished that story yesterda er I mean this morning and I am so eager to see what comes next.


@DeleriumHax I do have sheet music but no way to print it out professionally since I do not have a registered version of Sibelius. /=


@venamek Thanks ^^ I'm glad you think so c:


@MareInTheMoon I see what you did there... Though I don't think anyone got it, I agree with you entirely.


@psychgoth
Actually it works quite well.


@Chefodeath To you, its all toilet water sounds. to us, its a masterpiece.


@megatfreak Lol well at least whatever we do, it works right? lol I need to brush up on my technical terms more though. I think it's just the aug and dim chords that I get confused. Also, learning about all the modes is a pain too.


@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.


@TheShiroTagachi Lol, I hope I didn't disappoint. People usually do that for dubstep songs (I know I do xD)


@psychgoth
I (ionian)
Don't (dorian)
Play (phrygian)
Like (lydian)
My (mixolydian)
Aunt (aeolian)
Lola (locrian)

That's how I remember it.


@Chefodeath It was quite  "improv-y" lol

@Chefodeath It was quite  "improv-y" lol


@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.


I am, but I already have a lot about her.


@TheLegendTamer omgawd I never thought of that...dear sir, I think you changed my perception a little bit.


@megatfreak yay! a PEMDAS for music! x3 lol


@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!!! /)


@UserWithoutAnyName In a nutshell, history books are biased.


@Chefodeath well arent you just the fancy mnusic critic lol


@psychgoth Nah, didn't at all. It was load.


Some bits of this piece I liked, but as a whole I didn't like it. It just sounded like a mess of notes without any underlying structure.
