My favorite from you so far. The Kyoto is a fantastic lead, and the ethnic instrumentation in this is expertly put together. What are you using for the flute and kyoto? Yoshida Brothers FTW!

@mahbrony OuO thanks! it means SO much to hear that from people ^^ And I swear I never knew Allegretto would be so popular. Even my film music tutor told me it was a weird combination and that nobody really writes like that. Who'd a thought?

This reminds me of a certain scene from "Progress." Excellent composition on this one, I never thought of combining the far eastern style with electronic. Definitely one of your best.

I like the part from 01:19 to 01:44 the most. Even though the melody repeats later on in the track, the Beat gets kind of watered down because they are missing the snare(?) that is present in the first part.

Well thanks Makkon c: I think you mean koto, Kyoto is a Japanese city lol. And I am not using a koto anywhere lol. The lead instrument is a Chinese Pipa, I am also using some chinese percussion and an Erhu. The flute is just some random ethnic flute soundfont. In fact, they're ALL soundfonts lol. I cannot use a real Kontakt library, FL would crash. And yes, Yoshida bros Ftw! The ending lick there is modled after their song "Rising".

The music is from SMiLE.dk's Butterfly song. /watch?v=B_qwUS8Uqjg You changed it up a bit, but it's still their song at the core of it. You should attach a link to your write up so people know where it's from. Other than that, interesting work. I'm not sure how well a fast paced battle music works for spa ponies, though the oriental vibe seems appropriate.

@MicroGamer15 Are you kidding? I completely whore that song when my bros can't hear it through my headphones. But yes, I am looking at both melodies here on my sequencer and they are NOT the same. Disregarding key, (which in Butterfly is G# minor) the first 4 bars are really similar in rhythm and scale degrees but the rest is completely different. His is more repetitive and ends on the 5th of the scale being the biggest difference.

@NileRoan I still kinda disagree with that, it was purely just an inspiration. It would be the same if I took the similar rhythm/ theme from "Turning Japanese". I will credit them as an inspiration but nothing more. And I still tell you now that it is in fact still my own melody.

Nile Roan Academics 2011-11-10 19:36:43

@psychgoth Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. There's nothing wrong with that, you took a song that you liked the sound of and changed it up. You created a new variation of it that works for what you are trying to do. But you still at the heart of it took what someone else did and used it for your idea. Which means it would be appropriate to at least give mention of them and their song. Also, fighting themes should have drive and action, yes, but they do not require a fast tempo.

They speak in some kind of European accent in the show, but I don't think any of the ponies really have canon races, since, you know, they're ponies (I guess their race would be Equestrian). But if they were humans, there's no saying they couldn't be mixed race, like a combination of German and/or Swedish AND Japanese. Any humanized pony's race is really left up to each viewer's imagination.

@NileRoan Excuse me, but are you saying that this song is not 100% mine? SMiLE.dk hardly (if at all) uses this melody and even so, the melody is just a pentatonic scale going up and down. All he and I are doing is skipping the 2nd and 4th scale degrees. Plus, I think he is the key of C# and I am in A (mods to G). Furthermore, his actually sounds Japanese. Thanks for commenting though, and since it's a fighting theme it has to have drive and action. c:
