Ask Lyra

Oct 28

exclamationpointman asked: Let's say you had a band or like, control of a tight knit band - what would you call the genre you'd most likely play? Could you explain your preferred style of music to listen to and how it influences to how you would play alone? In a group? How would you make yourself stand out from other musicians?

Probably an amalgamation of everything I enjoy (which should also answer the next part), if I can. What I play alone is pretty much just sheet music I can find for what I hear, so influence is pretty direct. In a group, I might be more willing to bend to something like punk rock or some of the less tripe pop. Depending on the size of this group, some classical would be lovely!

I think I’d take the Gorillaz approach of having a core group, and then shifting in and out all sorts of talented musicians to play all kinds of music. Stand out from the crowd by becoming all the greatest parts of said crowd.

askapplejackandrainbowdash--blog asked: Howdy, Lyra. Care to settle an argument? As musical pony, which d'y'all think is better fer a good ol' fashioned singalong - banjo or guitar? - AJ

For a campfire song? Banjo, easy!

For a balled? Obviously guitar!

Edit: Hmm… On second thought, I think it has more to do with tempo…

Anonymous asked: your opinion of grafitti?

Nothing wrong with the art of spray paint, as long as it’s legal.

Just random vandalism isn’t okay. Some punk sprays a tag on the side of a building owned by a small business and that business has to pay out of pocket to get it removed, if they can afford it. And the pony that sprayed? Their work is removed! Or sprayed over with another tag. So why even do that?

A graffiti artist doesn’t have to make a mural, either. Art is art, as long as it’s legal.

colorsymphony-deactivated201202 asked: Lyra is a pony. Pony of Ponyville.

That title isn’t exclusive, though.

theblackstrawberry asked: Hahaha, I am still going to love you forever now because you said you'll probably make it. Good night!

It should turn out great, when I get to it!

theblackstrawberry asked: Oh my Celestia.... I think I love you forever now.

Cels, at least wait a day or so for me to start it first!

For now, I’m going to bed.

theblackstrawberry asked: The Lavender town from pokemon always scared me the most if I listened it too much...

Good idea!

That’ll round out a nice group of three spooky tracks when I’m done!

Ponies always seem to love the Pokemon recordings, so I think I’ll do that one last.

theblackstrawberry asked: 3 Lyras down! 4 if you count Lyra doll, but I hug her all the time!

Not bad!

I don’t think you’ll be able to finish today, but that’s what long term goals are for!

theblackstrawberry asked: oh yeah.... I have to hug ALL the Lyras. I'll see you later then!! UNICORN AWAYYYYYYYYYY *teleports*

Bye, Strawberry!

Have fun!

theblackstrawberry asked: :D I'm so happy you can hug this strawberry~ you can hug this strawberry forever if you want to.

Actually, I’m doing music. That’s kinda why we’re in the recording room.

A little space would help. We’ve hugged long enough.

theblackstrawberry asked: *hugs* YAY. :D I love hugging this Lyra the most.

I love hugging this Strawberry the most!

It doesn’t get squished!

thegreengoo-blog-blog-blog asked: Personally, I cant watch any sports. They're all boring.

I used to be like that. I don’t mind so much anymore.

I could even watch golf or bowling for a little bit.

Anonymous asked: How long do you think you'll stay with Boscov? Or do you think you're just goingto stay at the same place in your relationship for a while?

Well… I’d like to spend more time with him…

But I work all day, and when I get home I’m exhausted. By the time I’m better it’s flippin’ nighttime!

He has a normal schedule, so our available times don’t sync up much outside of the weekend.

I definitely want to spend some time with him this weekend, though.

garyyo asked: soccer one of the best sports i know, for watching. you can go an entire game and not a single goal is scored, there is no stops in the action, the whole entire time its just the ball bouncing back and forth. its really fun to watch it instead of paying attention in math class.

Tennis isn’t bad for watching, either.

Sorry. No clip this time.
