This story is a sequel to A String Wedding


Although this is a sequel, it's not necessary to read the preceding works to enjoy what follows.

Cello, violin, and synthesizer. An odd an unexpected combination of instruments for the Canterlot music scene that just might pull Vinyl Scratch’s dance club, and Octavia’s love of music, back from the brink. There will be bass.

Sometimes I feel like people have slept through most of the history of electronic music.

And quite a history it is. I can actually think of a track or two that involves cello (or possibly double bass) and synth, and plenty that involve violin and synth. I should change the description to say "odd and unexpected of instruments in Equestria" or somesuch.

I can agree with you on that. Concerto has a line in chapter three that I think you'll appreciate :raritywink:

Actually he's a character in this one; he's Octavia's husband. She's in the habit of calling him Con, though.

Don't count Octavia out just yet… :raritywink:
I don't happen to know that much about conductors; I only have second-hand accounts, and only one of them was this kind of slavedriver. Another chapter is coming tonight, and every day thereafter until all six chapters are up.

Oh I love this story! There needs to be moar classically inspired EDM.

5459583 My brother had a conductor who wouldn't even give a prep, she'd just go from standing still to conducting. Pissed everyone off

Suddenly thought of

My friends had a conductor in school who was a former pro athlete, forced to retire because of an injury. She was also a slave driver; if you were in the band, the band was your whole life. Kind of like a street gang.

In all fairness, she did get results. The band was the school's pride and joy.

Lindsey Stirling is one of the three or so artists I listened to while writing this :pinkiehappy:

“Great. I’m stuck in here with Friend of the Year.”

I think you might want to add "Worst" in there, or at least put the phrase in quotation marks and/or italicize it to make it more sarcastic.

Anyways, I really love this story and how you portray Octavia and Vinyl, it's definitely a different take from the norm. :twilightsmile:

Then she lowered her head to Octavia’s middle. “I’m gonna play extra loud so you can hear too.”

:applejackunsure: Yeah, that might not work out too well.

This was a great story, and if you do make another sequel in this series, I would definitely be interested in reading it.

5487893 Yeah, she's pretty spectacular. We need more musicians like that. Less meat dresses and more music!
