If “jungle” weren’t a breakbeat-infused genre, it might sounds something like this! Dashie takes a walk in the woods here with this rhythmically laid-back orchestral piece laden with some folky woodwind and string instruments carrying the melodies of the song. Perfect for a jaunty jungle adventure!

Orchestral music often tends to be very emotive, from epic orchestral soundtracks depicting grand adventures through space and time, to more peaceful tracks that paint beautiful landscapes in the listener’s mind. No matter the style or mood, perhaps the most impactful music of this genre is that which speaks to the heart and tells a story to the troubled soul. Red Spark’s new track, “Fairytale,” exemplifies this idea. Inspired by a Kirin fairytale, the track begins with quiet strings and delicate piano, making it easy to imagine a lonely traveler faintly silhouetted against a vast and barren landscape. A sudden burst of intense brass follows, suggesting a climactic moment in the traveler’s journey – perhaps, a rush of overwhelming loneliness, or intimidation by the magnitude of the wilderness, or fear of never reaching her destination. The intensity dissipates with the entrance of soft woodwinds and oscillating key changes, creating a meditative soundscape of wonder and awe. As you enjoy this gorgeous track, let it inspire a journey of your own imaginings.

Returning from a musical break, Jyc’s also breaking from his Infinite Eclipse series to bring us a song portraying the return of Sombra. It imagines a G4 movie where he returns to conquer Equestria, with this acting as the soundtrack for the trailer, evoking the same kind of excitement and tension from many a blockbuster! Check it out for some wonderfully cinematic orchestral music.
