Well we do try to get ourselves out there as much as possible! Our main avenues of advertisement are direct (through sites like Equestria Daily, Everypony.ru, My Little Remix, etc.) and indirect (through artists releasing their album tracks on YouTube), so if you or anybody else has ideas on where else we should try advertising, I'm all ears. But yes, some of the music we've released is amazing and so worth checking out! And if you like what you hear, it's well worth checking out the individual artists too, because we wouldn't have these amazing products to release without them! We'll do our best to keep it up as long as we can.

What does it take to get popular? (outside of skill)

What does it take to get popular? (outside of skill)

 

I'd like to know too!! In seriousness, what it takes, in my opinion, is hard work, perseverance, and never missing an opportunity to improve things where you can. Also, taking risks - if you think somebody might be interested in your project - ask! Worst case scenario, they won't care and you won't get a response, but at least you tried.

 

An alternative way to get popular is to cater to the masses with things you know are popular, or just purely by releasing the right thing at the right time. Even with all the hard work in the world, sometimes it just comes down to luck as to whether success happens or not. It's a bit of a lottery, but so is life in the end!

Ello! Quick Q, what is your favotie anime?

 

Alright, now have you heard of GUNSHIP?

I love their songs, one of theirs had a stunning pixel animation to go with it!

Hey! My favourite anime.. That's a tough choice! At the moment I'm watching FMA: Brotherhood and very much enjoying it, about two thirds of the way through it. SAO is also really good! Though it suffers from turning what is initially a strong female character into a literal bird in cage needing to be rescued. The animation is gorgeous though. I think my overall favourite is probably Log Horizon or HunterxHunter. The depth at which they explore their subject matter is really really interesting. I have not heard of GUNSHIP before. From a quite glance though, their music seems pretty coolz!

Thanks for answering my two previous questions . I have two more questions; hope you don't mind answering them...

 

-What's your favorite snack you take while working on your albums?

 

-Do you think the brony fandom is actually dying?

Haha, I'm more than happy to! The more questions the merrier.

 

I don't have any specific snacks I eat whilst working on stuff, but I'm definitely partial to some soy crisps every now and then, as well as maybe some Shapes (dunno if this is a US thing too) or watermelon if there is any.

 

Not at all!! There might be less general interest in everything, but I think there is still a massive amount of interest around in the fandom. If 'a slow loss obsession with every part of the fandom' is dying then sure, but I think whilst the fandom is definitely not as explosively big as it used to be I still think it's more than big enough for meaningful things to come out of it, including our albums! Starlit Flames had 120 submissions, for a dying fandom that would be quite something We also had over 2500 downloads of our Christmas album, so I think there's definitely still more than enough interest to make this stuff worthwhile!
