Any non-techno/light techno MLP fan music?

[Suzaku 88]

Okay, so I'm still new to the fandom and I love music.  So naturally I want to listen to some good fan music.  I've been browsing EqD under their "music" tag looking for some good stuff, and looking at the threads right here.

 

But here's my problem.  Most of the music that I've found in the fandom has been heavy techno, dubstep kind of stuff.  Which I don't like.  I don't like hardcore, sharp-edged computerized music.  I want something more... harmonious.  Melodic.  I prefer something with vocals, but I would not mind a good instrumental provided it had some really good orchestration or something.

 

I'm explaining this terribly.  Basically, I'm looking for something that has either "real" instruments or at least allows the vocals to rise above the techno bits.

 

:c  Can anyone point me toward something like this?

Check out my soundcloud, it's got quite a bit of mlp stuff on it

Also, here's my youtube channel

 

There are quite a few artists other than me who also do non-techno like

MandoPony

AcousticBrony

and others

This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner.

 

This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

Inconveniently enough, I love electro

Despite that, I've found a few less/non electro songs and artists that I enjoy, so to name a few:

Hirosashii - he does some light electro with vocals.

's a good song

Le Soldat Pony makes nice chill acoustic music. Be Cool is pretty nice.

Replacer's music is kind of a blend of light electro and vocals and

is a good song of his.

I'm so slow at adding links, so I'll leave it at this for now Xp

Hey Suzaku, I'm glad you're avoiding the dubstep side of the fan music. I'm not wild about it either tbh (Balloon Party just seemed so non-pony for the most part and soulless tbf).   

 

One question i have for you would be whether you're looking for IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) which for the most part is electronic music that turns its back on most electronic DANCE music for something more interesting and organic and listenable .

 

A few suggestions are in here http://bronymusiciandirectory.blogspot.com/2012/07/idm-complextro.html and links to more artists who do more of the same.

 

SoGreatandPowerful and Jackleapp are both great examples of both that flirt with dance music

 

If you're looking for something more "ambient" but still dance music, house/techno/drum & bass/ trance I could look to find some good suggestions for you. PinkiePieSwear fit this style well and is one of the great original first wave artists we had.

 

One of my absolutely favorites:

 

I'm sure i can dig up a few great examples but let me know what you that i've suggested so far. I'm only allowed 2 video empeds so I'll need to hear a reply.

 

I've got a few of MY own that MIGHT fit your wants but i don't want to spam this thread with my own music when I'm sure there's many possibilities that will work..

 

Also let us know if you're looking for primarily vocal tracks, if you're ok with cut up samples (like that PinkiePieSwear track), and if you like or don't like instrumentals (more and more pony music is going instrumental making it hard to tell its pony unless done WELL).

I was going to say "You certainly like Freewave don't you :p"

Then I realised... You are Freewave. I felt a little silly.

 

Beautiful I've Got To Find A Way remix, I must say

Oh thank you kindly.  It's always hard to know if I was rushing it as i normally take month or so on a genral track and then this came together quickly in 2 intense days of work. Sadly EQD may have passed over it for some more of the upbeat and full blown electronic versions but in the end I liked how mine came out (as simple as it is).

 

Thanks for the compliment, it means a lot

 

Well let me post 2 more tracks!!

 

SoGreatandPowertful (definitely IDM here)

 

Sadly SoGap deletes the tracks from his channel shortly after he debuts them so it's a bit hard to find his material although you can get them from a fansite ( http://sogreatandpowerful.com/ ) and from other channels on ytube. He's an odd one but we love him which is why a few friends and I made a tribute album for the guy. http://sgaptribute.blogspot.com/

 

Here's a beautiful liquid drum & bass track by UnderpΩny

Like?

Replacer, Coconeru, Mandopony, acousticbrony, Jackleapp and Jeff Burgess are a few I would recommend. I'm sure there are plenty more, that's just what I had on the top of my head at the moment.

  I like the the dubstep and techno stuff, but I also like instrumentals. A few that I think you might like I will post the videos to below.

There's plenty more, but I don't want to overload the thread.

Freewave - I really enjoyed the embedded videos there - I love cut-up vocals provided they're done well.  They were right up my alley    I also liked your "I've Got to Find a Way" remix very much.

 

And thanks go out to Thunder-Dash and Brosparkles for suggesting Mandopony.  I have now subscribed to his channel.

[Gay Bird 421]

There's a lot of non electronic music, its just harder to find. Check our ever free radio they play a lot of good music from everywhere in the fandom.

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

Man, I can't find any good pony metal. Almost all the brony music I've found is either EDM or remixes.

Well, at least I found this.

 

 

Poniez ist krieg.

There's actually a lot of diversity still out  there (although i agree that a large chunk of it IS electronic). Check out our genre section if you want some more help finding what you want. http://bronymusiciandirectory.blogspot.com/2012/03/genre-section.html

[DusK 1,264]

 

Most of the tracks I've done consist of metal and punk covers/remixes of songs from the show. I've done

, and

.

 

There definitely is an oversaturation of EDM within the fandom, and a dearth of well-made metal and rock.

[Unique Pinkie Pie 173]

i highly recommend bronyfied than due to the fact that he does such a good job of it 

 

and that he makes great recreations of current songs

 

[Flicker Sweet 3,391]

look up Tugging at the Heartstrings

you may want some tissues for this song, it's an instrumental.  But it is extremely well written and phrased

[Freewave 1,145]

Hey OP are you looking for metal and punk? I was getting the idea they were looking for gentle and melodic techno (not loud electron and dubstep) but now we're getting all kinds of loud rock recommendations which may be outside of what they're looking for.

Well, there's this bit:

 

I want something more... harmonious.  Melodic.  I prefer something with vocals, but I would not mind a good instrumental provided it had some really good orchestration or something.

 

I'm explaining this terribly.  Basically, I'm looking for something that has either "real" instruments or at least allows the vocals to rise above the techno bits.

 

Given this, I figured metal, punk, or just about any form of aggressive rock wouldn't be off-limits for suggestion, especially the music I posted.

Hey now, Metal isn't always aggressive. In fact, a lot of Metal is the complete opposite of aggressive.

 

 

Anyway, I recommend MandoPony. He's done some fantastic stuff and collaborates with AcousticBrony a lot.

 

 

TheLivingTombstone mostly has electronic pieces, but he's also worked on some other stuff as well.

Never said it was. All I was saying is that it met the requirements detailed by the OP regarding melody, harmony, and live instrumentation.

[Night Shine 767]

I'm glad you asked!

 

If you're looking for something more along the lines of classical music, I'm subscribed on Youtube to a bunch of classical MLP fan-composers. Also...I AM ONE! XD

 

Here's some links to each artist and my personal favorite piece of theirs:

 

 

 

NightBreeze

 

 

 

 

 

 

Legendary

 

 

 

 

 

 

Evening Star

 

 

 

 

 

 

MEE!!!! :3

 

 

 

 

 

 

CommandSpry makes mostly electronic music, but here's an orchestral piece of his:

I actually totally misread your post, sorry. *derp*

 

 

On a side note, I just remembered about Ponyphonic. He only has two originals and one cover out, but they're all amazing.

 

 

[Arkane 270]

Well.. I dabble on symphonic metal and orchestra.. Well, not always. I do any genre maybe except dubstep since I'm still learning how to do it.

 

Here's one of my songs if you're interested! ^~^

You can just click on my channel if you want more though!

[Stellafera 3,836]

Hmm, want some different genres, eh? Here's some fabulous musical theater by AwkwardMarina:

 

 

And jazz by Yourenigma, who also makes some classical and electro-classical fare:

 

[Freewave 1,145]

OP let us know what you like and what you don't as you're likely going to get a lot of different recommendations until you do.
