While listening to that, all the time, I thought how to make it more awesome. Has many triggers that make the music continue in a different way in my brain. ... It sounds quite emotionless in the current version, but has a lot of potential.

Now all I need is a direct mind-to-music interface.

 

By the way... I know there is the making of remixed and cover versions, but is there really no musical discipline of abridging? I mean, it could be a big culture of trying to musically build together, to add awesomeness to music. You know, the kind of essence that creates an overwhelming feeling.

All that comes to mind are isolated cases, e.g. there is a version of Knocking On Heavens Door sung by a woman that is not following the original, but based on it.

That one's a hopeless cause. :P

 

Sorry, I have been spoiled with Finnish synthesizer and Japanese console game music. ;)

Idea for a porn movie title:

"My Little Horny - Fiendish is Mah Chick"

I've watched a few episodes now. The storywriting and the 'universe lore design' is a bit lazy and simplistic, but the ponies' behavior is very funny.

 

"Swarm of the Century" is apparently a hommage to the Star Trek tribble episode(s) and also inspired by the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

(That episode's ending is another example of bad writing.)

I'm not sure, cause I don't actually know and DJ's but isn't that what a DJ does, abridge songs and mix them together eg mashups

 

 

Not great but I though the 8 bit style might appeal :P and it's MLP on topic!

 

 

Now this is good B) and the thing he is "playing" triggers the sampled tracks when he hit's the buttons.

Groovy!

I don't really grasp what he's doing with the buttons - it seems like more complex than just restarting tracks. But the whole thing is enjoyable.

What I mean with abridging though is not what DJs do. DJs usually stretch music and add 'foreign' music styles more suited for a certain clientele.

I guess what I am imagining is something that to my knowledge hasn't been explored yet: the certain something that makes music awesome. There must be a science behind why certain tunes/songs make it into the charts. (Not the best measure, but still.) And I'm an audiocentric guy I guess. I hear a tune and then at some point might go like: Awwww, why did they continue THAT way? It was just about to become really awesome, touching.

I'm not good at making things from scratch, but once I get a trigger, an intro, I can let it flow. :)

I wish I had a sound studio and a cool team available at all times. :lol: But we can't always get what we want, right? And besides: Forcing things destroys the flow.

 

 

Back to ponies: I have another question: Did anybody do a personality/visuals (at first I wrote "viausl", lol - talk about mixup) mixup of the six mane ponies? That's always hilarious. Imagine: Apple Pie, Rainbow Rare, Twilight Jack, Pinkie Dash, Rainbow Flutter. Or go fully bonkers: Pinkie Shy and her confused friend Twilight Flutter, lesbian pals Apple Dash & Rainbow Jack, and the unbearable Rarity Rare.

OOOOOR ... give all ponies the Pinkie factor, except Pinkie Pie, who gets the traits from all the other five.

Hmmm., let's see, that would be:

Pinkie Sparkle, Flutterpie, Rare Pinkie, Pink Apple, Rainbow Pie and Rare Twilight Rainbow Flutter Jack.

Did I mention any combo twice? I don't think so! :D

 

 

OOOH MYYYYY! We need MLP smileys!!! Gonna dig some up. Brb.

EDIT: They have no Pinkie grin smiley at the internet. I'm disappointed!

 

EDIT2: HAH! PinkiePiegrin48.png Made my owln!

 

 

P.S.: I wish I knew how to make smooth resize of a selection in PSP without the edges smooting into the transparent color.

Season 1 episode 21 - "Over A Barrel" is one of those twistings of history, regarding Native Americans. By now I realize that while it doesn't make much sense, Equestria is like a modern time nation. There is France (Fluttershy mentioning French haute couture), and ponies with German accent and all.

Makes it less of a stretch of imagination why New Lunar Republic fan fiction came about.

 

I mean, tha episode makes the Natives look like intolerant and irrational. Not only did they want the orchard gone for their traditional stampeding instead of because it's a burial ground (which would have been according to reality), but in the end it turns out there a wide path through the orchard, so they can stampede freely through it without causing any harm. But now they also charge a fee (apple pie) in exchange for peace.

The chief talked about his ancestors, so the theme of death can't be a taboo in the show, thus burial ground would be an appropriate reason. I guess it's still just too difficult for the average US American to digest the reality that the colonizing was to an increasing degree militant landgrab.

 

Then there's so much translation to pony theme that doesn't make sense. They have steam locomotives, but they are pulled by ponies. Whuaaa? :blink: Why not without the ponies? After all Equestria has electricity and stuff - quite modern.

The degree of lazy writing in that regards is comparable to the "The Little Mermaid" TV show, where you have things like hot bath tubs ... underwater. With the hot water staying in the tub ... just like if they weren't undersea... which they are.

 

So as I said before: brain on standby, then it's great fun.

It gave me an idea: First, a car in Rainbow Dash Colors - light blue with a rainbow rallye stripe and Rainbow Dash on both sides, and then...

rainbow colored wheels! Either concentrical, or, even better: in piechart style (with smooth edges to not look too crappy while standing still) so that the faster you go, the more the rainbow blurs into white! This would totally embody the fact that Rainbow Dash unfolds her full awesomeness when moving fast. OR even better: rainbow spiral, so that it creates an outward or inward moving effect of the rainbow colors.

 

Also: muscle car and MLP - who would claim this is girly?!

Speaking of cars... funny idea:

Posted earlier, Fluttershy's Lament

Now THERE'S a proper use for autotune! Not for pretending you can sing, but for making a melody out of monotone source material.
