Neat! :D I like the instrument choice, very unified and tenacious.

Those two pictures plus this amazing song say quite a bit. I'm waiting for someone to get inspiration now and write a story to go with it. *waits patiently*

Actually, this makes me think of a few songs from Gauntlet:Dark Legacy. Particularly the ones right before you fight the bosses, and especially the one before you fight the final boss of the game, the arch demon.

@baschfire Well that's awesome to hear. Although I must caution you to be creative with an organ, look up all the effects and different pipe sounds. Grand organs have a bunch of stops for a reason lol. Sometime I am using several pipe sounds at once for a melody. And in this case for the bass I am using both the pipes and reeds.

Beautiful piece man. I'd beg for a longer version, but this will work as a nice ring tone. Kinda reminds me of a few old PSone rpgs...

You know, this is probably my favorite piece of your music yet, but I think it does a poor job of matching Discord. The organ speaks of power, structure, and majesty, and this piece reflects far too much of that for it to truly speak to the essence of tyhe chaos king.

Ooooh, this is really good! Shame there isn't a download link, but I'll look forward to the whole musical if it gets the "word of approval". Though if it doesn't please consider at least providing a download to this piece!

The tune or anything didn't remind me of PotO, I wouldn't have even thought of it if you hadnt mentioned it. But a musical of Discord's back story? I'd. Die. Happy. ^^ You so should! It's a fantastic idea! (as long as it doesnt put too much stress on you.)

Okay, i'm musically challenged, but I'm almost positive that is an organ in the background. If so, it suits Discord perfectly, and if not, then whatever the heck it is suits him perfectly.

This really does sounds like something from Castlevania. Maybe it's the opening theme for "Ponyvania: Legacy of Discord"?. Man, I want a pony Castlevania game right now, werever it's a fangame or just a skin hack.

I'm sort of wondering, what sound program did you use for this? (Just assuming you don't have a pipe organ lying around) I think trying to broaden my horizons by trying (probably failing) to make music might be good for me.

If psychie wychie does use Discordantly as the basis for his musical, keep in mind that the author of that story has explicitly stated that the story was NOT a start of darkness tale. Discord was already on his way towards villainy. Celestia rejecting him just gave him an excuse to pursue chaos instead. Meaning even if Celestia hadn't rejected him, Discord would have probably just dragged her into whatever messes he made.

@circuitfry Thanks dude, it is just for this piece though, I imagine if I wrote it out for the musical I would dilute the organ and add some symphony orchestra for a big Hollywood sound.

LaRaikaa 2011-10-12 05:53:02

@rundas2344 I'm glad you think so ^^ I wanted this to kinda reflect with how innocently Discord approached Celestia and then was subsequently disheartened when she refused him.

If you need a good back story for Discord just go on Deviantart and search for the comic "Discordantly". Even if you don't use it, it's still worth a read

@psychgoth Okay, take you time to answer any of my questions, but how does one get a soundfont to work? Is there a specific program you use to make use of various soundfonts?

@psychgoth XD That would be amazing if you did do his singing voice; I'd flip, and I'm sure all the bronies would love it. However, its not worth it if it's going to drive you crazy and put stress on you. And even if you're still learning, you must be better than me, I have no musical talent whatsoever O.o So whatever you create will be fantastic, I'm sure. ^^

OH JESUS. I normally don't bother commenting on all the music in the pony archive, but I've got to tell you, this song began playing the SECOND I looked to my right and saw a HUGE spider descending all the way from my ceiling on its thread. Over-dramatic as HELL. Thanks, psychogoth. You summon the spiders.

@psychgoth *smirk* the name of the family that has to go kick dracula out every time he pops up is Belmont. I don't know if Europe got that version of the surname in the castlevania series.

@mrmantacos Lolz, I was legitimately worried because of the pedal bass. Although I shouldn't have thought it, POTO is characterized by the chromatic ascents and descents and unrelated minor chords, not the bass lol.

@TheDumbRock This whole song is a single pipe organ lol. A cathedral pipe organ has many pipes and different section(ranks of pipes) that sound different. There is even an organ that can emulate bird tweets. I am using both pipes and reeds for the pedal bass in this piece.

@olotocolo I have never played a Castlevania game in my life. Although I do know how to play "Bloody Tears" on mah piano :3 or at least the Harpsichord part. Which would sound SOooo much better if I had a Baroque era German Harpsichord, that way I could couple the string sets together and get a wonderful full sound ^^. hehe sorry, I didn't mean to geek out you there ^^; but I am so into that it's not even funny.

@iamLI3 And I have yet to hear from him on the matter; therefore I can't say yes or no yet. I WOULD like it to be about that but I need his ok. And it's not tragic, it's epic! Tragic implies emo-ness/mushy feelings and while Discordantly does have a quick breath of that it's true nature is somewhat adventurous I find. And it is an overture, no chaos here yet. Besides, chaos might be good in art and story, but never in classical music. Otherwise you get something atonal or unmelodic.

@iamLI3 The link you sent led me to Eurobeat Brony's Discord song and C'mon, you know who Eurobeat Brony is if you know who Discord is. The song is fine but I just don't like you telling me THAT is Discord music. It also stings because I am led to believe you feel he is better than I on Discord music... The polka part comes later in his song, and the organ piece is in the first minute.

@iamLI3 Why oh WHY did you just compare my music to Eurobeat Brony's? I hardly call it Discord music, I mean yes he did incorporate many style into one piece (quite tastefully so) but it doesn't ring true as Discord's theme. Although if he would have stuck with that wacky polka then it would have been awesome and theme music. And I will have you know that organ piece was actually a melody from Bach's Toccatta and Fuge in Dm. Which in turn inspired this piece. Don't compare my work to EbB please.
