Strangest Amethyst Reads DSNesmith’s The Age of Wings And Steel!

My attempt at a dramatic reading of the first chapter of DSNesmith’s The Age of Wings and Steel, a pone-themed adventure/war fanfic I absolutely loved reading back in 2012.

"Three hundred years after the fall of Princess Luna, Equestria teeters on the brink of disaster. Bitter political infighting and power-hungry nobles threaten to tear the country apart in a bloody civil war, while in the south old enemies prepare to reclaim their ancient homeland from the ponies.

As Princess Celestia desperately strives to hold together her splintered nation, she sends a young pony on a quest to the northern lands that border Equestria in order to plead for aid against the threat of Grypha. This unlikely messenger is Rye Strudel, the flightless, magicless, half-breed son of a guard and a baker. Rye must do the impossible and unite the thanes of the north... for if he cannot, there may be no home to come back to."

It’s Only The Fairy Tale (Male Vocal Cover)!

My attempt at a cover of the beautiful track “It’s Only The Fairy Tale” from the anime Mai-HiME.

Absolutely love this song - if the instrumental seems like it’s got a bit of a Madoka flavour to it, that’s because this track was produced by Kajiura Yuki, who also produced the equally brilliant Puella Magi Madoka Magica soundtrack!

The music video for Signal!

When a meteor shower threatens an isolated space outpost, its sole resident constructs a ship as fast as he can to get out of there, haunted by images of a faraway base.

Very much enjoyed making this one - nothing quite like getting the perfect shot only to be suddenly attacked by robot dogs seconds after you hit record. d:

Signal!

My first track in absolutely ages! Sorry about that, so many bits and bobs have been going on these last few months.

An instrumental track aiming for some light “electro-ambience”, as if you’re looking out a window into space. I've had the idea for the lead sine riff in my head for absolutely ages and I'm so pleased to have finally got it recorded!

Hope you'll enjoy!

The Witch’s Lullaby: All Hallow’s Eve!

The Barnham Witch is back!

An updated re-release of The Witch’s Lullaby for Halloween 2015, featuring a new verse and chorus, some mixing adjustments and expanded instrumentation!

Download available here if anyone fancies it!

The “music video” for my R6 fansong “Siege” featuring a bit of gameplay.

This one's a track I actually started writing whilst I was waiting for the R6: Siege beta to download, eventually ending up with a "friends on opposite teams" theme as I played more and more of the game. Hope you'll enjoy!

Despite a few gripes, I’ve enjoyed my time with the Rainbow Six: Siege beta - looking forward to seeing what the devs can do with the rest of the game before release.

If anyone fancies watching me ramble through the Unleashed and 06 Sonic Generations level packs, here you go!

Never Turn Back Intro (Shadow the Hedgehog/Crush 40 Cover)!

My Destiny (Donna De Lory Cover)!

I’ve been wanting to cover this for absolutely ages, but I wasn’t quite able to get the “vocal courage” to give it a try. But, I’ve been on a bit of a Sonic tiff as of late, listened to the song a few times, loved it and thought I might as well!
