Makkon befriends Jeffthestrider - Impressions of Celestia Origins

[Ronin3y]

I would kill for the sheet music of the piano part from 0:40 to 2:24

[InvaderGormigan]

@Ronin3y Ditto

[Leadslinger50mm]

Lol the Luna symbol reminds me of the pyhrexian insignia

[funkyjam175]

you know what i love? When you take a simple lullaby and add those heavy drumbeats (and chanting that sounds like it might be from Skyrim...). It's why i love Luna Deos, and Why I love this song and many of your others! Thank you so much for the awesome music!

[CreativeChildEmber]

This really makes me want to write an origin story for Celestia and Luna! All pretty and fancy and EPIC! 

[BF3gamer0022]

Makkon your the best guy. This song is my most favorite and quite literally makes me want to cry coming from a 14 year old brony. The song makes my day

[InvaderGormigan]

@makkon06 Holy hell...dat' piano. I have to say the part that starts at 00:40 is one of my favourite piano tunes ever and that's saying something. Mind if I ask what piano VST you used for it? Keep up the awesomness my good brony!

[makkon06]

@InvaderGormigan Thanks, man! I used Tonehammer Emotional Pianos, I used the Jazz patch because it had a very crisp sound to it. I did jack up the reverb though.

[SROAlchemist]

Who knew that after Hans Zimmer, makkon06's My Little Pony music would make my stomach churn with awesome? Thank you!

[TimForTheWin12]

A large part of this playlist is you.

And I love it.

[WindEmperor]

Hey! Mind if I use this? I want to do a sort narrative thing for a story I've been writing with my cousin and this worked perfectly as I was reading.

[makkon06]

@WindEmperor Sure! I'd love to hear it when it's finished :)

[Kapalolz13]

It's....It's so epic

[Gremlyn42]

I'm thinking MLP movie trailer. This is amazing.

[mastachief1994]

the battle part of this song is better then the entire battle theme extended to be honest.

[makkon06]

@mastachief1994 Just out of curiosity, how so?

[BF2CCre8or94]

@makkon06 I have a feeling the second half of this song, referred to as the "battle" part by mastachief1994, is ever so slightly faster and more cheerful, as it builds up to a faster pace, until the chords come in. The extended battle theme however, sounds more like a marching theme, and is perhaps a little too repetitive for a 3-4 minutes song.

Don't get me wrong, you did a great job on the battle theme, and I'm looking forward to hearing more music from you. Keep it up!

[mastachief1994]

@makkon06 I dunno, it just, feels and sounds different. *shrug* I wish I could explain it better then that.

[mastachief1994]

@makkon06 Actually, BF2CCre8or94 practically nailed it on the head. The battle part of this is more like "epic battle, but we(good guys) will win this" and sounds more hopeful, while the extended battle theme is just "epic battle", or perhaps while heading towards said battle.

[Rotosequence]

@makkon06 Comparing the two side by side, I think the pacing of this piece works out better than the extended battle theme. It's really hard to pin down precisely, but there's more majesty to Impressions than Extended.

[u3210]

You should make movie OSTs. Yes, you're that epic.

[bleed723]

epic....... then i played skyrim :P

[thetruesithis]

Enable that little snow icon thingy, watch in awe

[Omegadragon4]

WHY AM I NOT SUBSCRIBED TO YOU?!?

Let's just fix that now shall we? *Click*

[MrTyzone]

@Omegadragon4 Oh yeah, it's a good thing I'm subscribed as wel-

LZQEJIKVLQ HOLY SHIT I'M NOT SUBSCRIBED EITHER!

*rapes Subscribe button*

[GeonTheDayDreamer]

This is almost better then Hans Zimmer's The Da Vinci Code theme

[magmablock]

I can't help but be reminded of "Past Sins".

[JamesMuliz]

Dude....

When the book I'm writing gets adapted into a movie, you're gonna be the music composer.

yes i'm totally gonna become significant why would you doubt this

[Abbunderscoreeliten]

Simply beautiful

May I ask, are you a professional composer "by day"?

[roflmao88]

Elder Scrolls V: Equestria

[lewa3910]

@roflmao88 FUS ROH yay....what? NO! This meme isn't overused! ^w^

[ThankYouSniper]

one day i just need to lurk here and listen to all your songs

[bobi400]

the number of dislikes is the number of how many haters there will be left after the whole world have watched MLP: FiM......0

[Dongelevs]

Heh, i accidently overlayed this and the extended battle theme in two tabs, they sound pretty good together if you can get the timing right

[Xelvanox2]

The low brass sounds you used are amazing, just saying.

[JoeyWonton]

Not a single dislike... percentages don't lie.

This song is exactly 100% amazing. Thats better than or equal to like 100% of the music in the rest of the world.

And its better than about 99.9 % of it.

[theLOLROFLman]

By far, this is the most wonderful music i heard for a looooooooooooong time!

[Bombedrumbum]

@makkon06 YES

[thefoodfoodfood]

I'm going to loop the part from 3:10 to 3:55 over and over and over, then listen to it while I play skyrim.

No, really. That piece deserves its own remix, at least 3 minutes of it. The rest is quite calming.

[makkon06]

@thefoodfoodfood Funny you should say that, I started on the Celestia Origins Extended Battle Theme today.

[thefoodfoodfood]

@makkon06 Words cannot express my joy........ Thank you Makkon, for composing some of the greatest music both in the fandom and beyond.

[Xellos111]

@makkon06 When it will be done?????! :D

[makkon06]

@Xellos111 about 3 days ago :)

[KamoiSakata]

It sort of reminds me of music from the movie "Willow" :)

[leante79]

Fucking Epic. Take brohoof, bro.

[amthatis07]

Whoa, this piece has a strong resemblance to The Seal Lullaby by Eric Whitacre.

[makkon06]

@amthatis07 Oh definitely, I freaking love Eric Whitacre!

[CaptainFluffatun]

Two words: Flashback music

[Gaarott]

This touches me in all the right places.. I can't describe how much i enjoy this :)

[IXITHELEGEND2]

@makkon06 sweet! I may have thought this a million times, but now there's no denying it...THIS IS A MUST HAVE! thanks for the tip! Keep up your wonderful work :D

[IXITHELEGEND2]

What do you use for the chorus? It literally sounds expensive 0_°

nice job btw!

[makkon06]

@IXITHELEGEND2 It is! The sound library is called Voxos, but if you want a cheaper alternative I'd suggest Tonehammer Requiem. Not cheaper by too much, though.

[DasMuhmin]

i really would like to hear a extended version of the first sad and slow part... so beautyfull

[theunsungbard]

It's like i'm really listening to Phendrana Drifts except with an epic middle part.

[DaKatphish]

The Solar Empire. The New Lunar Republic. Such antithetical ideas. How can factions as different as the day and the night exist in harmony? Countless bronies have been divided and in strife for possessing unique ideas about how Equestria should be ruled.

Yet to join either side, would be equivalent to joining the side of chaos, the side of disharmony, of DISCORD.

Remember our true war cry, the words that have bound us as fellow bronies since the first episode, against the parasprites.

[DaKatphish]

@DaKatphish Love and Tolerance...

Night and Day need not be in an eternal war, power can be divided equally.

Equinox.

[omganotherun]

Wow! Chased this song down from another vid thinking it was one of those professional "dramatic score" song things. Bravo sir! THIS needs more views. Equestria Daily yet?

[T3echUL3ss0n]

I have to say, this is one of, if not the best fan music I've ever heard. I just stirs up so many emotions in me, emotions that I don't even knew existed. Your works never cease to amaze me. It is this sort of stuff that finally got me off my ass and try my own hand at composing :P

tl;dr You're fucking awesome, keep up the extraordinary work!

[projectEbon]

This sent chills down my spine. Fantastic work.

[HeartmendSoar]

I also can't help but think of the amazing but as-of-yet incomplete fanfic "Paradise" by Slywit. From EqD: "Celestia and Luna were born as unassuming foals in troubled times. But already marked for greatness, the simple earth ponies stand to face a world set against them, full of danger, fear, and sadness. A world they will change forever."

[HeartmendSoar]

I've listened to this song so many many times. I absolutely love the gentle susurration in the very beginning. I imagine a wide shot, with many amazed ponies gathering around Celestia's parents, about to reveal the newly born Celestia. At 0:40, I imagine a close-up of Celestia, as she wakes up from her nap and yawns, her eyes open wide. I imagine Celestia and Luna growing up, learning to use their magic... 2:25, cue Celestia and Luna's heroic entrance and grand battle.

[BrainDS2]

This is beautiful.

[WellDisregardThat]

Could you maybe... Uhm... I don't know... Teach me everything you know? :3

[Oxenfrey]

This belongs on stage -wipes manly tear away-

[Gaarott]

Beautiful mate :)

[mishapseudonym]

I love this song so much. It is truly epic and would not be out of place in something like Lord of the Rings. Amazing. I love the part where it goes all martial and it fits Celestia's character very well I think and makes me think of an image of her as a human in battle armor I've seen. Seriously, my only complaint is that the song is too short! Makkon = awesome

[yourphotomoment]

gorgeous! simply gorgeous! my ears are in love with this music.. wonderful job Makkon!

[MrNorbertz]

Help me bronies!

I can't turn off this song!

I want to listen itr all day long!

[TheGoggleguy]

Computer, I dont care if you say the volume is already at max, but if you don't turn this song up anymore, You'll see my impersonation of the bruce lee, and you get to play as the wooden plank.

[darkaquastar]

This inspires me to write. I'm writing to this right now and the words are flowing so well...

[soapy05]

This is beautiful.

[TakumaNuva]

This has actually inspired me to write a fanfic about the origins of Celestia (and Luna). A dark one. "The Order of Sol".

It'll have to wait until I finish my current one though. d=

[Gamerboy385]

This is so beautiful it makes me want to cry. I've never felt more inspired to create something in my life than when I'm listening to these fantastic pieces of art.

Makkon. You are my muse

[dialgex]

This will be used in a video representing our begginings...

[Iamoldenough92]

Who ever thought such a wonderful tune would be inspired by a delightfully innocent show?

[TheJeffdabomb]

When the time comes, this NEEDS to be put into the MLP Movie...

[Klicethereal]

I'm always frustrated that the song doesn't happen to "start", so to say. But it's nice, nonetheless !

[Gamerboy385]

I think it would be a good idea to split this at 2:25 and make two different songs out of both halves. The beginning reminds me of the background music that would play in Oblivion when I would explore the world, while the second half would be the combat music.

It would be great to hear this as two different pieces. Anyone else agree?

[Gamerboy385]

@makkon06 I swear, if I ever get a team together to make a pony overhaul of Skyrim, I'm coming to you for the music. I can't tell you how many ideas I've had for such a project while listening to your work. Simply amazing.

[g3f0rc3p0w3r]

a very moving piece, well done good sir

[MovingTarget85]

Wow, beautiful song. Reminds me of something from a movie. A really, really good movie.

[KingVic222]

I heard this song in the Happy Birthday video for MLP:FiM, and I was like "hmm... I wonder where he got this epic music?"

Did I expect it to be MLP related? NOPE.

Was I pleasantly surprised? YUP.

Very well done, Love this.

[654Bloojay654]

@KingVic222 Me too :D

[millermcgraw1]

You know a song is badass when you mistake it for one you saw in a movie watching another video. Thought it was from Lord of the Rings or something. Not my favorite from ya, but this just bumped it up a couple of notches.

[Anonymoose123456789]

I could imagine the last half of this song, with the chanting and ceremonial drums, being played to Luna's transformation into Nightmare, and her eventual fight with Celestia and banishment to the moon. Such a powerful and beautiful piece.

[PartyPizzaProduction]

If I ever need a sad scene of somebody dying, or a slowmotion battle, I ask permission to use this song

[MadMaxPain45]

this sounds oddly familiar...i dont know why...

[tprime117]

What with the Transformers, GI Joe, Smurfs, etc. movies coming out, should they decide to make a MLP movie that doesn't suck, you should be the score composer. I can picture this playing through the opening.

[13ullseye]

I feel like you should've taken me out to dinner first before your music had sex with my ears. In all seriousness you've got some solid talent man, keep it up =)

[HaveAnArtAttack]

That's a hell of a like-view ratio 0_0

[Denzanmaru1]

This was the tipping point. You got my subscription.

This song is pure beauty in audio form.

Another heartfelt thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[IMakeOrWatchVideos]

2:30 past is awesome! 

[TheQuinch]

Excuse me, I... I have something in my eye...

[TheHalcyonTwilight]

Off the rock, through the bush, nothing but likes...

This vid is immaculate, both in ratings and music. :D

[DaneGraphics]

Also, Where do you get your vox samples?

[makkon06]

@DaneGraphics It's a sound library for the VST Kontakt called Voxos. It's the best I've used so far.

[DaneGraphics]

I now challenge myself to get more views than you by Christmas... Good luck me.

[makkon06]

@DaneGraphics Haha, okay

[jembyobanders]

makkon, you're better than what we deserve.

This should be a high-price premium channel stat!!!

[JarynFrostwing]

And that's how Equestria was made.

[GritYT]

@JarynFrostwing ... and maybe sometime I will tell you the story of how I got my Cutie Mark! It's a doozy.

[DMtactical]

I love this song, but can I suggest you change the description to mention that the original song is called "Celestial Origins". I had trouble finding it at first.

[AVGNking]

0 dislikes, no THAT'S more like it

[Extraintrovert]

0:02 Celestia and Luna's parents arrive; they create Equestria

0:40 Celestia and Luna are born, they grow together, and eventually obtain dominion of day and night

1:10 Their parents depart Equestria, leaving Celestia and Luna as the lone alicorns

1:40 The first ponies are made, and with the sisters' help they spread across Equestria

2:25 Discord arrives and sows havoc

3:10 He fights the sisters

3:55 Discord is defeated, and harmony is restored

The best music tells a story even without words.

[zonco15]

@Extraintrovert This is nice and all...but Discord was there first.....

[AaronMk91]

You know bro, I keep coming back to this song and each time I do I can't help but lean back and proclaim: "Wow, this could really fit well in Elder Scrolls."

It would fit well in the rest of the back-ground tracks in Oblivion at least, those little tunes the game plays when you're not in combat or in a cave/dungeon and just exploring the world. It's sweat...

[Ewyndall]

Oh and btw, where's the image from? It's simply awesome :)

[Ewyndall]

I'm speechless. Images float and flash in my mind throughout the entire song.

Could it be? Witness the mircale...grace and power...

The birth of a Goddess.



[TheHalcyonTwilight]

Makkon, for the love of all that is equine... can you just release a bad song for once?

My once manly Walkman, loaded with Disturbed, Atreyu and the like, has started to be overtaken by your music. I can't let anyone listen to it for fear they'll here your songs, point out their awesome, then I have to tell them it's pony...

[Tylendal242]

@TheHalcyonTwilight Have no shame when you tell them that you're listening to music inspired by My Little Pony. You will be that much manlier for it.

[TheHalcyonTwilight]

@Tylendal242

It shall be done...

[MrMaxaminus]

And not a single dislike was given that day.

[KaptainFuzzy]

Oh crap... Someone get me a straw, my brain leaked out after my eardrums melted from the high amounts of amazing.

[PartyPizzaProduction]

Oh man, this song could put me to sleep in an instant. Which is not a bad thing at all, very soothing!

[greysion]

hoo-oolly shit im impressed!!

[sindiewen]

This has a little Metroid Prime vibe to it.

I LOVE THIS!!!!

[Autumn2552]

"Hey, Jim Carrey help me out on this one.

"B. E. A. UTIFUL!"

"Thank you."

[IdleDrifter]

Can we say the opening music to My Little Pony: Origins of Harmony. A young Luna and Celestia battle against Discord. I don't have any money to throw at my screen!

[BrandarXIII]

This resonates with ones very own soul

[Feyenard]

Mr. Makkon, I am honored to present you with the hightest decoration for amazing score and pony music in general - the Ingrammy. Please see it as a token of appreciation from all your listeners in the MLP fandom and an incentive to further providing us with eargasms like these. *Hands over* *applause*

TL;DR: AWESOME!! MOAR!!

[TyphFerdinand]

Oh, Beautiful indeed

[Whitbane]

Fantastic,

Nothing else needs to be said.

[Solarn40]

Where is the picture you used for this video from?

[McCargot]

@Solarn40 Check out his deviantART account. ;)

@makkon06 Well, this song gave me goosebumps... and it's not the first time this happened while listening to one of yours.

[PharaohGlaga]

Hi Makkon06, requesting sheet music for the piano part of this song?

[TucsonKhan]

This is incredible. Probably the best Celestia piece I've heard yet. This and For the New Lunar Republic are two of the most epic pony music ever. :D

[sonic4sale]

I was linked here from Equestria Daily.

I was listening to the latest music: this

and a comic called: Carnations and Forget-Me-Nots on Deviant Art

by a brony called *PashaPup

Good god that is a powerful combination. Manly tears were shed.

[ZSAITOSEI]

@sonic4sale sir, I was just about to say the same thing. but by Celestia's Beard, I'll say it again! These two items work amazingly together. for those who wanna experience this themselves, find the comic on deviantArt, search "carnations and forget me nots"

[missingthemooon]

This + any rpg game = several orgasms

[DarthNader26]

From a nice and relaxed opening, you managed to switch into something that had me reaching for my sword and saddling up my horse.

I AM OFF! ADVENTURE!

[ZeImbaer]

Dude thats really awesome. Great job!

[sheepboy96]

This is so good, I've listened to it about 20 times in a row and I can't stop.

[destroyka777]

Well done, my fellow brony!

[Darkdrium777]

I think this is your best since Luna Deos. Very well done. I would not be surprised if you ended up as a composer for some film later. You are really talented.

[Ankarua]

@Darkdrium777 You know what? I would love him as the head musician in a MLP movie. That would be the best thing ever.

[HeartmendSoar]

@Ankarua Oh hell yes. I think Makkon working with William Anderson and Daniel Ingram would cause us all to die of BUCKING AWESOME. /)^3^(\

[lukaskarp]

@Ankarua that would be so awesome!

[ScottomanEmpire]

I literally got chills. God damn.

[WhirlyWillow]

Words cannot even BEGIN to describe the emotions this song induces in me...

[HeartmendSoar]

I...can't help but cry a little when I listen to this. Happy tears....

[HeartmendSoar]

This is GORGEOUS. Celestia deserves her own epic music. About time! :D

[woogum10]

One of the best songs created by the Brony community.

[Smeargle2]

WHY WAS THIS NOT IN MY SUB BOX A FEW DAYS AGO.

Stupid youtube, making me miss Makkon songs.

Anyway, this is gorgeous. There's so little music based on Celestia. I'm always glad when I find it.

[inkeed]

How? Just how are you able to create such amazing music? When I listen to your work, I get chills and a mixture of emotions.

Glee is one of the many things I feel---because music like this exists in the world.

[Subwolfers]

This is absolutely amazing and beautiful, insta fave and like. Keep up the great work!

[fininfinite]

This is most definitely one of the most awesome and epic songs I have ever heard. My jaw was slack and drool was coming out.

[RoKetha]

Where can I get the image you're using here for album art?

[JimbertAwesomeness]

This is on the same level as the Halo OST

[Jakeshark]

I keep throwing my screen at the money, but it broke

[moku]

Wow...This is actually beautiful...It really is amazing what has come from ponies

[scorchedwing1]

Makkon, you are a fucking GOD. This is just humbling.

[MrPewe3455]

Makes me wish I already had a copy of Skyrim on my harddrive :) Incredibly awesome stuff!

[AubriGryphon]

This puts me in mind of one of the old classic Final Fantasy games, or maybe Myst.

[holloways99]

My people. i shed a single buffalo tear to this for it is in all it's glory. everything

[riimumaisema]

I KEEP THROWING MY MONEY AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING HAPPENS

[Diftraku]

@riimumaisema All it keeps doing is play this absolutely beautiful song...

[rylangel]

@Diftraku Who let you out of the brony thread?

[robospike55]

@riimumaisema I don't know, bad connection I guess?

[sonic4sale]

@riimumaisema LOL

[RPMprocess]

Love how one song inspired by a show inspires another artist to create another piece of excellent music in the theme of not only the other song, but also retain the feeling of the show as an entirety!

[00metalgod00]

Sweet mother of jesus, this is beautiful.

[Dragonstorm246]

very Dr.Who esque

[Haloman2023]

Must... Not... Play... Oblivion... Hrrrrggghhennn...

GODDAMMIT!

[Azekahh]

>> @zeromra

[alyon59]

The beginning sounds like Seal's Lullaby by Eric Whitacre.

[LameMovieCo]

The sheer awesomeness of this is overwhelming! It's hard to breathe...

[zeromra]

This is beautiful.

Makkon you never cease to amaze me
