The Online Orchestra

[Tenortrouble]

I made the group "Players" a while ago with the intention of starting an online Brony orchestra. However, due to the low traffic in the groups section, Jaret has proposed that I start a thread. Good idea! So here we are! The idea of this thread is to get things going so lets have at it!

What is an Online Orchestra?

An online orchestra is different from a traditional sense in that instead of sitting together and playing at the same time, we will each record our parts and send them in to one person who has the know how to make it into a single song.


Why would anypony do that?

The reasons are simple:
1) to have fun doing what we enjoy, namely music, and to combine it with ponies!
2) to show off what we can do! We can spread the love via EPR.
3) why not?

Now that we've got that taken care of, we can start on the important things!


What are we going to play?

Well until we can get some composers on board, we will play covers, which could be found here. We can divvy up the parts by posting on the thread.

[arrowfire43]

I wanna join in on the fun :D I'll try to remix music (if i can) and make some videos or PMV's

[Luprony]

Self taught pianist. I don't have any decent recording equipment or anything to transfer MIDI stuff (I've never had to, I just play as a hobby), but I'd gladly splash the cash to rectify this.
Must say, never really worked with a group before, so this will be an interesting experience.

[Tenortrouble]

I think we can cover all the parts now..... Lets try doing a cover song first! Vote for the song we cover! (I'm up for Pinkie's Laugh Your Fears Away Song)

[Luprony]

What about the main theme? Seems a fitting start, although I'm happy with anything. As long as we get to do Winter Wrap Up at one point, I'll be as happy as can be.

[Tenortrouble]

Sounds like a cool idea! I say we have Only the pianos, violins, and vocals at the beginning until we hit the "ah" part, THEN we add everything else. The only thing now is to assign people to certain parts. Anyone with expertise in that or should we just have at it?

Here are the parts

[Luprony]

Any composers here? I'm used to solo projects, be it on piano or on music software, and I wouldn't want to tell people what to play, so I'll rule myself out there.

[Tenortrouble]

There are only three parts, two vocals and the bass guitar. I say we try to add a chord sound to it! (Anyone know how?)

[testyal1]

Just a couple of mistakes with the vocals-
1. It's 'tons', not 'lots'.
2. It's 'feat', not 'thing'.

Anyhow, I hope this turns out good. Sadly, I can't play an instrument or sing, so I won't be able to help.
Suggestion - Electric guitar with heavy metal, deep voiced lyrics! (Metajazz!) [/sarcasm]

[Meletric]

I can try adding in chords and lines for more instruments and such. I'll have to do it later tonight though, as I have to go to work soon.
