<pony><derpy>Lament for Derpy

[SeventhElement]

Well, it's Derpy Day. I made this song in response to Derpy being decanonized, and I figured it'd be only appropriate to release it on Derpy Day. This song was written with alot of intention, but became more improvisation. I hope you like it

That was beautiful, was this recorded with a live piano? Really well done.

[SeventhElement]

Yeah it's from my Yamaha keyboard

Thank you!

What key is it in? I want to remix it

Its in F minor. If you want I can send you a MIDI. Although I raped the sustain pedal so it's likely there are going to be ALOT of VERY long notes :p

[CGEyeGuy]

oh yeah that would help a lot, please send the midi

That is really nice piece of piano music.
Also I can say that the moment at 1:38 gave me frosty chills and some of my childish memories suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

[SeventhElement]

Thanks

Very nice! Very sensitive too, I love the chords and it's just... good all around. Reminds me a bit of Erik Satie, certainly one of my favourite modern composers. Do you take private piano lessons? I've been a classical pianist for around 8 years.
Awesome song.

Awesome song.

I've been playing for about 12ish years (since I was about 6). I've taken lessons on and off (If you want an amount, lets say about 8 or so years total), but I learned how to write and improvise all on my own. Thanks for listening

Mainly what I am working on is about 4 minutes in, I still need to figure out what to do in the first half. What I am going to do is have the vocals of the new derpy return to the old vocals in the end.
Also I feel as though it is too long atm, so I am going to try and find out how I can shorten it.

Oi Derpy should love you forever for this... gorgeous o.o I'm pretty jealous of your talent at this point.

Lots and lots of practice. That's pretty much it

Wow, this is great! Gosh, now I wish I kept on with my lessons instead of quitting after three years!

[SeventhElement]

The only thing I really attribute to my lessons is playing technique and knowledge of theory (although, Im not so brilliant at reading sheet music all the time). This song was almost entirely improvised, a skill I have been teaching myself for some 6 years or something.
