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!


Wow, this sounds AMAZING!  I truly cannot wait for the finished version, and the download link! :P


@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?


You, my friend, have just earned your own subfolder in my music collection.  Keep up the great work!  *like, fav, add to playlist*


What very fitting instrumentation for these two!


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.


You did a great job. I think it suits me and Aloe perfectly!


Yes! Download is up!!
Aw man... I'll get strange looks with the way I'll be walking down the street with this in my ears!
Great job Psychgoth. This is one of the more unique pony-themed songs - and it's A-OK!


Awesome music Mein Freund
You do have great music skills
I guess we have  Beethoven among us!!
I love your style of fusing East (Erhu and flute) and West (Techno)
Grandiose master piece maestro


I greatly look forward to this song's completion!


@gurglelord I do try my hand at many types of music c: And I do believe you've told me about liking my other songs before so thanks again! ^^
This one was a challenge because that "Oriental" sound comes from a pentatonic scale which I have not had much practice with.
Thanks for submiting my work to EqD! c:


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.


God this song is awesome. I really need to record the sample for this


I've always seen them as more of an Eastern European (Hungarian, if you want me to be more specific) rather than Asian. But it's your song, and it still kicks major flank!


Whenever Mane6 gets finished with their first release of Fighting is Magic, you should submit this. They said they're going to do updates adding characters and stages. I could see this as their theme or a stage theme at the very least.


Aloe and Lotus?!
This is awesome! Thank you!


Damn, this feels like something out of a certain game -coughokami!-cough-

Awesome job!


This really reminds me of another song called "Flying heaven." And that is one of my favorite songs.


I love music more than most people. You have produced the most, best quality, music that I listen to. I like you more than most people. PERMA-RESPECT GET! but seriously stay in hood health and stay happy


This song is so good I actually bought it from your bandcamp dude! =)


If this is the WIP, I can't wait for the finished version.


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".


Man imagining this as the background in a pony fighting game makes me annoyed again that fighting is magic never came out. But great song


@kiju243 Well the instrumentation is calm and relaxing kinda. It just has a beat that drives the music.


!!!! I love you so much, psychgoth <3 Aloe and Lotus are my favorite background ponies :3
I never thought anyone payed attention to Aloe and Lotus but me :)


@K7E7I I know, I can't wait to get the sample I'm looking for to finish it. ^^


I REALLY wish I could get your albums! Problem is, I'm a closet brony and no way of paying via internet. :(


Hehehe this is so unique compared to anyone else out there.  Hurry and finish this....its gonna be amazing when the full one is out! :)  Great work!


@psychgoth This is flying heaven. It was introduces to me in a list of songs that would please the techno viking. It is the theme of a street fighter character based on Bruce Lee. /watch?v=FBU-mqT1F_


Aloe and Lotus need to be Fighting is Magic with this as their theme


Very good! This song just proves my idea: Aloe and Lotus are part time Ninjas!


@baschfire Lmao, well as for the Samurai feel, I actually was inspired to write an Oriental electronic song after I saw FluttershyElsa's "Butterfly" PMV. I need to thank them O.O


A tiny part of me wonders why german ponies have such a japanese theme.
The rest is too busy falling iin love with the music.


Not complaining or anything, but I always thought their theme would be a little more calm and meditative. They are spa ponies, after all.


@BlastPhoenix I saw it! thank you ^^ I really appreciate it c:


@iBringDaLULZ yay you finally heard this! lol I can't wait for those samples, the final product will be epic.


Reminds me of the stellar sound track to neo tokyo.


I like the song because it fits Aloe and Lotus
good work


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.


you posted this 8 months ago, I'm sure you don't remember. But sir, I cried a little tear of joy, when I heard someone else searches the brony music archives for music for their D&D campaign. /)


you should submit this for a spa stage in Fighting is Magic.


@BlackSwanized Aww thanks man c: It means a lot


lol i thought these guys were european but yes this music does suit them :3


@gobulgobbler Yeah I thank DDR for their song "Butterfly", it inspired this piece of music. And which scene of progress would that be?


Nice beat its great for <br>DDR and Kung fu

  Nice beat its great for
DDR and Kung fu


why do i feel like this should be in an okami game


need a pony fighting game this would so be aloe and lotus's theme :3


Download limit reached... I want this song!


@psychgoth An artist called zircon. He isn't a brony to the best of my knowledge, but he is one of my favorite musicians.


@FantasmicDragon1 I swear I have never heard of that game! xD I don't know why it pops out in my music lol.
Thanks!


Bad ass. Using this in My D and D campaign.


@TheXorph64 Thanks for backing me up there dude c: I appreciate it. I do have a credits roll in my vid though lol, it's at 3:47


@psychgoth
I doubt they dislike you in particular. They did make it clear that they will ask if they need more people, though, and they're swamped with suggestions and requests everywhere. Wears on the nerves. Excellent music, by the way! :)


you should totally throw it towards the mane 6
they could totally implement it in their fighting game XDD


@psychgoth hmm. I do love that song. absolutely love it


I listened for 20seconds... Subscribed
And now I have listened the whole song. I need 10more subscribe buttons.


Very cool song. I can play this music while playing HanaFuda. Anyone else ever play that card game?


@Hbomb117 The names Aloe and Lotus (especially Lotus) just says "Asian" to me. And I can't really tell what kind of accent that one had in Bridle Gossip. So I just kinda went for it =P


@Sonar009 They won't need any new musicians though, they hit that nail on the head. Part of why I dedicated so much time into improving was to make them sorry for not letting me in...I think I'm still a little sore about that sorry lol. ^^;
Thanks for your compliments though c: they mean a lot.


@mrmantacos Aww thanks man! I guess it comes from whoring video game and movie music since I was like...12? The distinct nature of the music and what sounds good gets stuck in your head after a while. BUT you have to be careful because all that creativity needs direction. Lest it sound like a mish-mash of musical garbage.


inb4 they are actually in Fighting is Magic and attack in coordination like Chinese acrobats using spa utensils. And this would be their song in the Spa scenario. (Just made you all get "ZOMG THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!" ?)


@Hbomb117 If I ever write a theme for Trixie rest assured it will be Eastern European for sure.


What edition are you running? I'm currently DMing Modified 3.5 for ponies. I accidently broke Pegasi and Earth ponies and nerfed unicorns.


Ahhh Your right. Photo Finish is a German, makes sense for these two to be Swedish. Good one.


@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.


@BlastPhoenix I doubt it would be as effective if I did it lol. Plus it needs RC88's rocking guitar to fit in. I truly feel they dislike me after the first time I tried to get in.


@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.


@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.


@kiju243 Well it is a fighting theme, (if, as the uploader mentioned, they were to ever fight somepony for some reason).


@psychgoth Side Note: don't mistake my comments for meaning I dislike what you did with it. It sounds good for the most part. I just feel like the tempo is too fast for the spa ponies and that reference to SMiLE.dk should be given.


@PHR16384 My Own subfolder? 8D what an honor n_n
Thanks for your kind words and I shall indeed keep kicking musical ass! xP


Aloe and Lotus aren't really German flowers lol. Especially lotus.
And this was made a REALLY long time ago lol.


Spa Diurno - Stress Room - Floor 3 (Bosses)


@RatTheFearful Holeh crap, how cool c: I didn't know anyone was gonna submit it this time heh. But thank you! ^^


@Chocobored
Exactly! Except I imagine them kicking the Combine's ass when they try to invade Equestria.
... I really need to Finish Half Life 2


@psychgoth Ninja Pony Spa Attendants, Ch. 15 I believe.


@RaraoskrNoKishii Thank YOU lol and you're welcome ^^


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.


aren't these two German? they had that kind of accent. LOLZ Still there name and cutie marks exudes Oriental (chinese) :D


I made a pic inspired by this song on my deviant art
chouwakaze.deviantart. com/#/d4k8nlo


@ninjainthebasement You should hit me up w/ a link to an example of his work.


Hey everypony!  I'm looking for a teeny, tiny, red bar that's supposed to be on the end of the "Like" bar.  Have you seen it?
Yeah, neither have I! ^_^


@psychgoth Only that? Remind me to shower you in love for awhile then xD I love the "samurai" feel this seems to have


@psychgoth smile.dk uses that melody throughout their entire song. Did you even listen to it? I understand that you did not intend to copy them at all, and it was a complete accident, but I'm just pointing out that smile.dk does indeed use that melody quite a bit.


@Dasher260 Reminds me of that one fanfic. Progress, yes?


Sorry to revive a three-week old comment, but actually it would be Aloe and me. It always works the way it would if there was no additional person, and you wouldn't say that it fits "I" perfectly.


Have I ever mentioned how much I love you?


@psychgoth I couldn't let it go unnoticed :P


@SpaceAnomaly Really? C: I don't know about good production quality but thank you all the same ^^


same download exceeded and I really want this


@DocSpengler753
But... he did. In the credits after the music, a part he can't alter without removing this comment.


@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:


@baschfire Twice I think lol. Thanks Basch xD


@Dasher260 Lol, i think Rainbow Dash is the resident Ninja Pony


@UsurperKingZant but wouldn't people just rip off the good audio for free?


@DocSpengler753
Because, you know, he was totally claiming to have drawn that pic. Get off your high horse and realize "Tell people the name of the BG artist" won't be on the top of his to-do list when hes thinking "I can't wait to show my fans my new song!"


@Nuthriz Sorry,  All out of links atm but here, have an apology muffin c: *hoofs over muffin*


@DocSpengler753 Hi there, if you would look to 3:47 in the vid I have a credits roll. YOU are the one who is not willing to stick around and see just who and what went into this video. The nerve, to assume WE think we're better than everyone else.  No no, I myself do have ego issues but that's just me alone. Don't attack the lot of us when you feel you need to make an argument over one's example. You lowly piece of crap


@Cador2004 Just waitin' on iBringDaLULZ c:
