Pony Piano Trio - Octavia's Triptych

[panda120795]

My, the community is talented.

[xJohnnyx3000x]

So let me get this straight, you wrote this piece?

[twphilosopher]

@xJohnnyx3000x its so ridiculous that if i hadnt heard his other works, i wouldnt have believed it myself

[Copycat642]

Is there any way you could post sheet music for this? I would love to play this with some friends!

[PissMyselfLaffing]

And ppl hate on bronies...

200th like btw ;) very cool!

[shugochara78]

Reminds of Sayaka's witch, lol. From PMMM.

[DJGaugen]

Time to replace a KH II Battle Theme!

[Copycat642]

wow, this video is amazing. i've been looking so long for a good octavia video, but others just didn't have that elegance that i was hoping for. This video reminds me why i love music. Now excuse me while i try and figure out that cello part.

[Copycat642]

Does anyone know where the image during most of the video came from?

[pvtread]

wow, i just thought only a few of your vids were in the classical genre, but this is amazeing you are a classical brony, i like and give you a brohoof, you deserve it, /)**

[xXteehee08Xx]

it kinda sounds like mlp theme don't you think?

[tomimn2233]

it's scary how this picture reminds me of Homura Akemi from Puella Magi

[mikethemikeful]

I believe she should at least have one episode where she gets involved with the main 6 for a bit...

[xXteehee08Xx]

@mikethemikeful you deserve the metal of honer for saying that =3

[Nukinator]

SPOILER: Season 2 Episode 9 ...she comes up again. 

[Iusethis4comments]

Octavia=The Vitamin String Quartet's favorite pony

FREAKIN

HANDS

DOWN

[runeplay2]

@Iusethis4comments "Hands"? What are these "Hands"? All I have are hooves... please, you need to stop talking with Lyra.

[camelman1980]

Simply amazing.

A song tells more than a thousand stories and this one even more.

Only by listening to it I can feel love and dedication.

It is a shame that most people out there have lost interest in certain genres such as this one and I will definately enjoy this song many more times in the future.

She might not be my favourite pony but this brings her one step closer to it.

[Nukinator]

Octavia IS best pony... and that's how this song came to be :3.

You've gained +1 Subscribe, +1 Internet, and +1 Octavia Fan.

[Resurrectedfantasy]

She deserves it

[MrOveragedrinking]

Loved it. Fantastic job.

[StanleyIRichards]

This is amazing. You deserve a subscribe.

[TheBlazinButch]

Great job once again, gratz on eqd and don't forget to send your songs to Celestia radio I'd love to hear them come up on it!

[nintendude0701]

How exactly was this made? Was a real person behind the instruments?

[Demonfox343]

Nice!

[DrDissonance1]

I enjoyed this! Some good classical! With virtuosic playing and decent counterpoint! HUZZAH!

Here's some things to think about: The opening Cello part sounds like it'd be a pain to play, if you have any cello buddies, see if it's playable?

Some double stops sounded like ones I've been told to avoid when writing because of fingering...

That being said, this is an electronic rendition, so those things don't really matter...=P

Also, as Piercing said, Reverb! These sounded like the Sibelius Sounds!

[Yourenigma]

@DrDissonance1 Thanks for listening! As for the double and triple stops in the opening part, I ran a double scan with sibelius to check for "impossibilities" so to speak and it passed, but yes, I definitely have to run it by my cellist friend to make sure things aren't...ridiculous. And as for the sounds, I'm looking to get GPO4 for christmas. It'll be an improvement, modestly. Oh, and I LOVE your stuff! Thanks for stopping by.

[uber301]

Def impress.

[OrchestralDesign]

Very nice! I like the classical feel to it, you nailed it perfectly.

[foolmoron]

First classical Octavia piece I've heard that incorporates the MLP theme, and damn it works well

[KarilynKarilyn]

Truly you're the best artist in the fandom. I love your music so much. Don't let the haters get you down. It's funny that people complain about pony inspired classical music, yet everyone loves New Lunar Republic as if it wasn't an original composition too.

[hia470]

this is wonderful! /)^3^(\

are we going to get the scores for it? please? :3

[Polaris118n2]

Your work with the piano really amazes me. This is excellent, this is brilliant. I love it.

[Frozenflutter]

With my sub box fixed, I shall celebrate with a marathon of pony music, starting with yours :3

[TShadowKnight]

Another beautiful piece, you're without a doubt my favourite artist of the Fandom.

Now back to trying to play"My Little Nocturne" in a good fashion =D

[hanchenlu]

Love your piano stuff. Studied piano for 13 years, so I really appreciate some of the classical sensibilities you put into your pieces! Haven't touched the instrument in 4 years, but I might make an exception for My Little Nocturne. No promises, though.

[Yourenigma]

@hanchenlu "Haven't touched the instrument in 4 years, but I might make an exception for My Little Nocturne..."

This, ladies and gentlecolts, its why I love doing what I do. Tackle those ivories! I love hearing of news such as this! Good luck if you do wind up playing it.

[tehmultifish]

Aaaaaaaah... Oh, Enigma, you are mighty fine indeed. Really, you do things with the 30 seconds of Mane Theme music that many other artists seem unable to accomplish! You did make one mistake, though. I can understand how you can get them confused, but I believe you'll find that Vinyl Scratch is best pony. Although, I adore Tavi's characterization almost just as much.

[Yourenigma]

@tehmultifish Glad ya dig, good sir! But perhaps more specifically, I'm glad you're picking up the threads and developments of that MLP theme. There's been a lot of disgruntled discourse in the community about marginally pony-related, Octavia classical stuff, so I'm glad you hear the thematic connections I made. That theme is amazing in how adaptable it can be.

[DaneGraphics]

Dude... You amaze me, I wish I had your talent... Though, being a sound designer, I have suggestion... reverb, concert hall style reverb on all your instruments, because right now it sounds like it's being played in a small recital room, and I can also here that the instruments are computer generated. Reverb will fix both, though it's up to you how much to use. Just a little hint from a friend ;) -PiercingSight

[tehmultifish]

@DaneGraphics Ooh! Yes, please listen to this man! It's just the ticket!

[Yourenigma]

@DaneGraphics First and foremost, thanks for listening! And your advice is much appreciated, but I did have a few reasons for keeping this recording a little on the dry side. The counterpoint and polyphony of the piece is a bit intense throughout the work. It's dense stuff and the inclusion of much more than a pinch of reverb created some cacophonous effects, lol. Then again, my mastering programs aren't what you would call state of the art, heh. Still, I'll keep it in mind. Thanks!

[thedisc231]

HOLY FUCK

[flowerzinc]

whoa, I really admire you. I wish I could compose like you instead of just making covers.

This is awesome, keep it up!

[Ikkitsu]

I love your work Enigma, you and Baschfire are my two favorite pianists in this fandom. And as a thank you for providing everypony with more music, I searched around and found the link to swaetshirt's deviantart post of the image.

swaetshrit.deviantart.c(o)m/ar­t/swoosh-258726261

Thanks again! <3

[Yourenigma]

@Ikkitsu Well thank you very much! I'm so glad you're enjoying all this as much as I enjoy composing it! Oh, and thanks too for the link. I'm hitting up the page right now.

[Hubbelism]

I don't have much idea of what you're saying about the music, but I LOVE it! Keep it up man :)

[SirJamestown]

UGH! I mean swaetshrit. I apologize. Names like that make me feel dyslexic

[Yourenigma]

@SirJamestown No worries! Thanks for the info. I'm updating the description now!

[SirJamestown]

swaetshirt is the name of the artist who did that portrait. Go on deviant art and search "swoosh octavia" and you'll find it

[hamyo4]

FARST.
