The Origins of Pony Music

I wrote this out a long time ago and had this still on my gdrive. If you want to know how that first year developed and the artists involved this goes over it a bit.

By the way if you want new Pony Music News check Horse Music Herald as they are still an active blog site.

Also check out the Brony Music RYM Box Set for another view of our history which we are adding to over time. 

Season 8 Begins

Well Season 8 has kicked off and the movie was over the summer. We salute those still making pony music (veterans and newcomers). This site is still just an inactive archive but I've added to the genres page a tad, left links again to this site and FIMM from bronymusic.com, and added all kinds of year end lists from previous years on the FIMM tumblr. We hope you find use with this site still as it's a blast from our past.

Season 7 Ends + We're Still Here!

Just wanted to say I hope people enjoyed Season 7. While this site has stopped all posting for several years now I have cleaned up a few dead links today, added new ones, and will keep this site up as an archive to brony music and its past. I hope you remember all we accomplished since 2011 and how vast this fandom and its music was and still is.

This site never covered everyone, as that would be over a thousand artists to make MLP themed tracks, but a lot of people made their way through here and left their mark (big and small). 

Genre Updates

Yes I know this website rarely gets updated now. I did clean out some dead links and upped a few new videos in the genre section just to have it look a little better. Feel free to go on a genre page and toss us a few youtube links if you see some new track selections for a particular genre that should be added.

Jeff Burgess started making rock and comedy music as about MLP with great tongue in cheek tracks. With songs like "Big-Ass Hat (Rarity's Song)", "Where My Bronies At?", and "Set Fire to the Con" there were equal measures of laugh out loud lyrics and great singer-songwriter odes to MLP characters.  He's since made one of the biggest songs in the fandom ("Home"), collected his early music in 100% Horse No Pulp, made the epic concept album Autumn Nights, changed his name to Julian Moon (along with avatar plenty of times), and become the smash up king with Hackamore.

"I'm a student in classical composition, but I also write music about ponies to keep myself sane outside of the classroom" - these are the words Le Soldat Pony used to describe himself and a bigger part of his life. The most notable genres he sticks to are ambient (with guitars playing an important part) and acoustic, not forgetting about the vocals, of course!" A lot of Soldat's music has disappeared from his youtube but look for what remains on his bandcamp and other sites. One of the best male voice's in the fandom.

Budzy never tries to stick to one style of music, he is always experimenting and trying to change things up so no two songs will sound the same, He started using FL studio in march of 2015 and has become very familiar with it, and already releasing tracks and getting some great feedback and support from people already!

"Violin Melody is an electronic musician from Poland who mostly loves trance, house and electro... but they also listens to other genres. VM creates remixes from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (the most popular remix is "Violin Melody ft. Maud Pie - Rocks") but they are more focusing on original mixes than remixes. Inspired by ponies, nature, life, emotions and feelings - Violin tries to bring you joy and happiness. Their music is an experimental mixture of trance, house, electro and techno. Repetitive enough to introduce you to a state of trance which gives the listener a pleasant emotions - if you love techno and trance or house of course - otherwise you will be bored I think. ;)"

What you already know: I am a musician and a brony.
What you probably didn't know: The music I make and the music I listen to are completely different genres (some chiptune). Nonetheless I love music in general, I can write a song of any style, and would be elated to combine my efforts with others, making beautiful art. I am uploading my pony music so that it may get out into the world in hopes it will inspire the bronies fortunate enough to come across it.
