If you remember the awesomeness that is Luna's Future, you have already met Aloma Steele. She's the new singer for Luna on the show, and I know I'm probably not the only one that had that song on repeat forever. A year ago she offered to collaborate with a brony musician for a song, and Jyc Row ended up being the pick. It has now officially released, and follows a very similar style to Luna's Future.
Here's my take on You're In My Head like a Catchy Song with lyrics from The Perfect Pear episode of MLP. I loved this song in the episode a lot; it was a delicate song and incredibly difficult to do much of anything with it, especially since I was working with a youtube rip of the audio without stems. I'll likely come along and polish the soundcloud/bandcamp version later once I have actual stems for the song if I can find the time to do it. This was a standard "edit" of the song, rearranged some parts, extended it, added some instruments and swells and violin solos, EQ'd the guitar and vocals to make them a bit more prominent, added tape distortion/saturation and harmonic excitation to add high end and more harmonics, reverb, delay in some spots and did a quick mastering job. Why? Because I loved the song, and wanted it to fit amongst my other musics as a song that would better 'stand alone' without the animation to back it up. I know that most musicians will not touch this song to remix, and for good reason. It's far too pretty to try to turn into a completely different genre.
Wings of Moonlight is an Epic Orchestral vocal piece inspired by Lullaby for a Princess by Ponyphonic. It tells the story of Luna and Celestia in their final moments before before Luna turns on her sister and becomes Nightmare Moon; For over a year I've worked to compose and orchestrate this song to the best of my abilities. With your best headphones, put yourself in the scene. Imagine what it would've been like, their exchange and the emotions that were at play. (Feel free to grab a download too, youtube audio quality doesnt do it justice). Hope everyone enjoys!
