Whitbane said...

Awesome, more Octavia music.

wackyteen said...

speaking of music,

i wonder if we'll get a Luna song in the new episode.

Bombedrumbum said...

Yay! Octavia! Again.....!! its not that I dont like octavia, but I just have been seeing a lot of her lately. Dont get me wrong, though, I love octavia music. Its usually the more well-done songs

SgtGarand said...

Everything can be expressed with Octavia it seems

Bombedrumbum said...

And yes seth, we are going to run out of them pretty soon

Jelfes said...

I really enjoyed #2, it's hard to go wrong with orchestral/string instruments, but this one wasn't anywhere near that, fantastic job.

Discord said...

1. That alarm noise drives me crazy
2&3. just wonderful i could listen to it all day

thecure said...

There are over 500,000 words in the average american's vocabulary. I think we'll be just fine Seth.

Whitbane said...

#2 was the first one I listened to because AspectOfTheStorm is freakin' fantastic and his other videos are awesome. This one is just as high quality and epic as his other Octavia pieces. I must have it. I like love this type of music.

#3: Like #2 in many ways, except not as solemn sounding. Still an amazing piece, though. Great job. This music is starting to make me appreciate Octavia much more as a pony.

#1 was cool. I liked the beat. Quite awesome. Some of the sounds didn't mesh well, but it still was nice.

Overall, pretty fantastic music!

Jelfes said...

The next one should be, "Octavia's overused music title."

Bad humour aside, #1 was decent, it had its moments, but it just got weird at times(I guess that sort of fits with the song and all).

Discord said...

Octavia's chaos... would love to hear it.

Bombedrumbum said...

Number 1 has an interesting intro. Good song, but the intro is sorta repeated throughout the whole song. Maybe its just the genre that im not familiar with, but okay.

Number 2 lives up to the name. it is a great composition. And thats saying something

Number 3 reminded me instantly of another song for the first couple seconds. (theme of Mentar: Fraud, by Kisuke, or Pon-E sharp. Gotta hand to the guy, thats a nice nickname!) Love the solo instrument feel, also greatly composed

Jelfes said...

@thecure I thought it was somewhere around 2,000 words that are used.

Bombedrumbum said...

Definitely loving number 2. Amazing job composing this piece!

Bombedrumbum said...

@Jelfes well, on average, the amount of words used daily are slowly but steadily decreasing in America. Now around 2,300 words that are considered daily words, wheras as far as words that can be used, its much higher

Bombedrumbum said...

Grammar nazis: come at me bro

thecure said...

@Jelfes

There are over 500,000 that the average american knows. There are only about 2,000 used in day to day life. Didn't think anyone else read that study though. Good on ya!

Whitbane said...

@Bombedrumbum

Heh, 'wheras'. JUST KIDDING! It's all in good fun. Don't kill me...

Jelfes said...

Really like #3, the part around 1:45 has a really enjoyable sound to it. I loved the whole thing, lots of energy behind the playing. The part around 0:40 was another part I really enjoyed.

Jelfes said...

@thecure Ah, yeah, that's what it was!

Vaerenth said...

Octavia music I find is good mood setting music.

Discord said...

@Bombedrumbum

its either a grammar Nazi or an very unreadable version of English, so whats it guna be?

Jelfes said...

*It's either a grammar Nazi, or a very unreadable version of English, so what's it going to be?

Haha, and that's why I pre-read for people; I can't read something without paying attention to spelling and punctuation.

Octavia said...

Nevar! There's always enough of my *insert whatever here* to go around! :D

#1 Kinda unique tune. Discord songs tend to variate from most others a little more, which is cool. Decent overall.

#2 Pretty good. Was slow and soft, gave me a little feeling of sorrow behind it I suppose. Nice job.

#3 I really quite enjoyed this one. Sounded splendid. :)

Discord said...

@Jelfes

I don't pay to much attention to punctuation.



*insert trollface here*

Kaijyuu said...

1 was meh.
2 was interesting, but didn't quite catch my attention.
3 was nifty! Definitely saved.

Bombedrumbum said...

And I just flat-out dont really care for grammar and such when typing comments. If I were serious though, grammar always came easy to me. Its the sleep deprivation that really gets me. I, like Jelfes, tend to go into auto-pilot-grammar-nazi mode when reading

Discord said...

@Bombedrumbum

in that case my next few coments will be un corected just so you can look at them and wince Mwahahahaha

Jelfes said...

You bastard, you're doing it already!

Atiarotias said...

#3 was really nice, it actually sounded like music of some kind

Pyrobug said...

So much Tavi. I feel so refined.

Nämahs said...

#3 sounded like an actual classical music song from hundreds of years ago. Amazing.

SupaSpeedStrut said...

#1: why do I imagine this playing in Discord's head when he's having fun? lol it was very interesting
#3 was really nice. Sounds like something Octavia would really play!

MandoPony said...

Music time, yay!

#1 Wow, this is cool. Lots of creativity, but it wasn't QUITE as developed as I would have liked. Obviously the composer is talented so I think it could have been pushed even further into chaos. But I love how it starts so sweet and peppy, and slowly descends into more madness and randomness. I quite like that piece. Guitars were mixed awfully loudly though.

#2 Nice stuff, but it got a little repetitive for my tastes. The change-up near the middle was very much welcomed, but came a bit too late to save the piece. Very pretty and soothing music, but not something I would listen to over and over again.

#3 Thank you guys for the really nice comments! I was very proud of that piece and I'm really happy everypony's listening :D

baschotaria said...

#1 Well very fittng for discord music

#2 Not too shabby, and its nice to see some more orchestral mixes out there!

#3 this is ridiculously classical sounding, and its making me squee for some reason. The only thing i'd say could improve this is having a piano accompaniment. (Piano major coming out)

DiscordFollower said...

*insert fangirl squeal*

OH MY GOSH!!! Hi Mr. Awesome Discord sir!

I'm a major huge fan!

dublio said...

We can never have enough Octavia considering the fact that we will probably only see her as a cameo at most in Season 2. In fact, most of the other one-shot ponies from season 1 may not even show up, unless the animators decide to throw them in somewhere. Kinda like how DJ PON-3 or Luna showed up for about 5 seconds in season 1 and then never seen again.

Unless of course Octavia was Pinkie's sister, then she might show up for a longer period of time. But we probably won't find out for a really long time, if ever.

Hovershy said...

#2 I really like it. Though very simple (only strings playing relatively plain melodies), it's absolutely beautiful. I wish I could compose stuff like that...

#3 Baroque music? That's what it sounds like. This song is very beautiful too, and I just love the ritardando in the end. Very good work!

CX4Ever said...

I love that pic. So epic and creative, with the fiddle bows in place of blades!

danegraphics said...

#1 - Love me some Discord music. The guitar was a little off putting but if that's what you were aiming for, then good job!
#2 - I want to here this played on real double bases. :)
#3 - I want to hear this on a real double base. :D

archiveit said...

Good stuff. Octavia music always turns out great.

Wierdplatformer said...

1. Pretty silly.

2. Beautiful.

3. Very powerful.
