Browse piano sheets by Ponyphonic on Zen Virtual Piano. Playful and theatrical, Ponyphonic's songs lean on big orchestration and surprising chord progressions, with lyrics that run from the mundane to the fantastic. Influences range from Elton John and ELO to The Beatles, Radiohead, Regina Spektor and Muse, along with many Disney films, all filtered through a cheeky yet empathetic lens. Cartoons are a source of inspiration, and the sounds they inspire run from sugary and fun to melancholic and dark; the subjects include airships, magical princesses, invented languages and the turning of the seasons. Such a wide spread of influences, from rock bands to animated films, suggests a project more interested in telling stories than in sticking to one genre. Dane Larson and Christina Ellis live in the greater Phoenix area and perform in coffee shops and other small venues. It was Lullaby for a Princess, a song written for the My Little Pony fanbase, that attracted online notice to the pair. Fanlore lists the song's first release as September 2012, as a fan work by ponyphonic within the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fandom. Small coffee-shop stages beside online attention suggest an act whose audience gathered in two very different places. A song written for a fandom that then found a wider online audience hints at the way fan communities can carry a piece of music a long way. Daniel Ingram, who composes for the show, praised a Winter Wrap Up remix in April 2012, when only two songs had been uploaded. Kristen Calvin sings The Moon Rises, an early song written in the manner of a Disney musical with a touch of inspiration from the song No Good Deed in Wicked. It opens with a quote of the My Little Pony main theme before moving into an original melody. An opening that borrows the show's theme before departing from it suggests a nod to the fandom followed by the project's own voice. Ponyphonic's YouTube description for that song lays out a theory about Luna's imprisonment: Luna and Celestia's bond was once strong enough for both to wield the Elements of Harmony, until Celestia used part of that power to banish her sister. Both members have day jobs, and, depending on how well the album Heart in a Cloud does, they would like to spend more time on music. Day jobs and a hope for more time on music suggest a project kept going alongside everyday work. A remastered version of Lullaby for a Princess was released to coincide with a companion short film by WarpOut. A fan's theory about a character's past, set to music, hints at how deeply a listener can read into a story world.
