/a/ has a music thread too, and they've been active about as long as we have.

Maybe we could team up with them and /mu/ and do a 4chan Plays.

except most other boards hate us, so it'll probably never happen

>>28993539
>/a/ hates non weebs
>/mlp/ is hated by everyone
>/mu/ hates music
Yeah that's not happening

>>28993142

Maybe make /mlp/ plays a bit larger? It'd be nice to make it easier to see.

Sound Baroque inspired, like it should be on a harpsichord. What do you want help with?

I was just wondering if the intervals were correct for common practice era counterpoint, and whether the voices were too close together, and if it was okay to bar 4 and end a canon with a chord progression

>>28996512
I know I didn't register the old one went down for a while.

/mlp/ and /o/ should have another board date and this time have /o/ sings Over the Rainbow

this scene is actually how I learned the main melody from the theme

I wish I knew more about that era of music to help you. All I can say is that it sounds at least close.

The part circled in pink sounded kinda awkward to me, but it is probably fine. I added an alternative solution anyway.

The part circled in red sounds really off since the voices are a second apart. I highly recommend changing it. Moving the D to an E would be better.

The voice leading in the chord-section could be smoother, and in the last chord change the voices are not resolved properly. I Could explain in greater detail if you want.

>>29001369
Heh

>>29002508
Thank you!

>circled in red sounds really off since the voices are a second apart
Do you mean the whole melody, or the specific notes?

>The voice leading in the chord-section could be smoother, and in the last chord change the voices are not resolved properly. I Could explain in greater detail if you want.
Please do! Also, I thought an sus4 chord on the I was a common subdominant?

>Do you mean the whole melody, or the specific notes?
Just the last note of the upper voice. When it leaps to D at the end of the measure it is a second above the other voice.
Since the rest of the piece is mostly thirds and sixths the second really stands out as a dissonant interval, and it doesn't add anything to the harmony either.

If you instead let the top voice go to E on the last beat it will be a third above the C in the lower voice, more in tune with the rest of the piece. Furthermore it would imply a C major chord, the dominant of F major, a chord which is quite useful in this kind of music.

>>I Could explain in greater detail if you want.
>Please do!
Ok, I'm not a teacher or anything but I'll try to explain the important parts without rambling too much.
The two last chords are C7 and F, the dominant seventh and tonic, great chords to end a piece with! The dominant, especially as a seventh-chord, has the strongest pull toward the tonic in traditional harmony. However, one reason why that is has to do with how individual notes of the chord want to resolve.

You see, the dominant seventh is an unstable chord. The interval between the third and the seventh is a tritone, a very dissonant interval. The dissonance of the tritone wants to resolve in such a way that the third of the dominant moves upwards to the root of the tonic, and the seventh of the dominant goes downwards to the third of the tonic.

By resolving the dissonance this way we get the strongest and most pleasant transition between the dominant and tonic chord.

>Also, I thought an sus4 chord on the I was a common subdominant?
First of all, that's a sus2, not a sus4.
But no, sus 4 is not common on the subdominant as far as I know. In fact, you can't make a subdominat sus4 in a major key without using an accidental. (Your piece in in F major, a subdominant sus4 would have the notes Bb, Eb and F - Eb is not part of the key F major.)

Sure, you can use an accidental if you really want it, but it will probably stand out in the context of this piece. In some more modern music, like pop for instance, I can see it work a bit better.

Also, while it will probably work fine in minor keys, I don't think it is particularly common in traditional music. As far as I know sus4 is usually used on the dominant chord to prolong the dominant harmony.

why isnt /mlp/ plays part of the content creator thread, or vise versa?

I don't know. We can totally work together.

Fuck me, I fucked that up.
I'll get back to you on that sus4.

Felt guilty bumping with non-MLP music last thread.
I'll try and change that.
Page ten bump.

>>29005601
oh I was trying to use a I chord in second inversion and misinterpreted it as a sus4. I'm dumb I'm sorry

>>29010473
Nah, I misread your post and totally missed the fact that you were talking about the I chord. I thought you wanted to make a sus4 out of the IV chord, so some comments in my reply weren't even relevant.

A sus4 on the I chord is perfectly fine in front of the dominant (though I can't say whether or not it is common or not in older music), but there is a couple of problems in this case.
As it is now it feels more like a Bbsus2, mostly because you put a Bb in the bass, but voice leading also plays a part. I think you can actually make it work, but I'll need to try a few things first and figure out how to best explain it. I'm a bit busy at the moment but I'll get back to you when I can.

>>29010812
thank you so much anon

>>29010821
Shit, I gotta read more carefully before I reply.
I just realized you might actually want a cadential 6/4, not a sus 4 on I.

Has a song been completed yet for the upcoming album?
How many songs do you have in the works so far? Do you need anybody to help with something?

>Has a song been completed yet for the upcoming album?
As far as I'm aware, no.

>How many songs do you have in the works so far?
The only thing I've been working on was QT Mk Crusaders: a song written by Dzahlus about the eponymous cutie mark crusaders.
Production's stopped for the time being. I think we need to figure out what we're doing with it.

There's Streets, which Sound Guy's heading. Needs lyrics (I believe several Anons are doing that but I don't know to what degree of success) and it needs more work on structure and an ending.
On top of that, I still need to record for what's going to be the chorus.

Continuing, there's also No Hooves (a heavy metal song worked on by Anoridan and... Engie?), Daydream wanted to do a MTC parody and... anything else that comes along.

>Do you need anybody to help with something?
>pic related

how are those street lyrics coming along

>>29019321
No one is actively writing them right now (aside from what was already written). Do you want to have a go?

>>29019691
was giving them a go but someone acted like they were already doing it.

>>29019806
Go ahead and see what you can come up with.

>>29019806
you can be the hero

>>29020878
i want to be the guy

I can play bass and sing I guess. You guys need any of that? I can do lyrics too if necessary
