A most wonderful and delicate tribute to our beloved hard-worker pony, Harmonic Six’s new song themed around Applejack has vibes of satisfaction after a day’s hard work, looking at the sunset and the crops. The strings sound quite grand, and the winds are chanting some well-deserved praise for our farmer mare!
RedSpark – Legend of the Moon | Orchestral
RedSpark has been SO active with many pony concept-powered pieces and tributes lately, and all are so very appreciated! He may even be considered the most active pony musician of late! While I posted every release on EQD, we’ve been a bit behind over here at HMH, but please enjoy this latest release from the musician that was inspired by the awesome artwork Night observations, and do make sure to check out the other releases from the musician that came out in the meantime! Namely: Twilight Fall, The Anti-Twilight Brigade, Dream of Flight (Flyin’ over Equestria), and RedSpark’s remix of the ending credits song from the MLP movie Off To See The World!
[P@D] Blackened Blue – Spark (feat. PrinceWhateverer & L-Train) | Nu Metal
Ponies at Dawn: Ignite has brought us many incredible collaborations and this track features a power trio for the ages! Blackened Blue brings in the talents of some of the best guitarists and songwriters the fandom has ever known – Prince Whateverer and L-Train for a heavy, early 2000s sound. Spark features heavy metal chugs, record scratches, grungy vocals, and more! The guitar solo is as sick as one should expect with this team and the entire song is something that really needs to be experienced!
[P@D] Quadrivia – Amulet | Complextro / Hardcore
Quadrivia has been a staple of Ponies at Dawn for some time now and Amulet is a hard-hitting banger based around everyone’s favorite magician horse! This song features a heavy bass design with a few surprise twists along the way. The latter-portion of the track features a gabber-style hardcore section that goes super hard, adding to the intensity of an already exciting addition to Ignite!
Midnight Frenzy – Spiral Harmonies ft. Emily Koch | Showtunes
For those of you that remember the great DuoCartoonist musical collaborations, a big part of those songs came from Spiral Harmonies (for those of you that don’t remember those videos – look them up right away!). After some re-orchestration, they have re-released the remastered version of Midnight Frenzy, a lively and very playful track based around Luna as a child, getting into trouble and having fun through the night. The orchestration is incredible with all the instruments building upon each other while Emily Koch’s voice shines as the incredibly lovable Luna character.
Daniel Ingram – The Magic Inside (MirroredReality Remix) | House
MirroredReality really came up with something interesting here as this remix starts off with an encapsulating synth riff. The track focuses more on the synth composition and a very room-y feel for the song with the sped-up and re-pitched vocals from the original song as a bonus instead of the main course. The drop is fun and sticks to Daniel’s vision with Mirrored’s own twist to make it more fun!
Night Blaze – Facing Night Mare (Extended) | Orchestral
Night Blaze likes action-packed musical pieces and Facing Night Mare is a great example of that exact kind of exciting compositions. This track has a lot of moving instrumental parts from distorted guitars contemplating the powerful percussion, violins that introduce the tension, choir voices adding intensity, and much more! A tribute to the Princess of Night, you can feel the battle-like intensity in this track!
Daniel Ingram – You’re In My Head Like A Catchy Song (Studio Quinn and JustKat cover) | Showtunes
Studio Quinn has been pumping out a lot of music this year and the newest installment is this lovely duo with JustKat. Going straight from the song, the voices are soft and tender while the instrumentation focuses on a tightly tuned piano. The drums keep a good beat and there’s an added bonus of the interlude which features ska-like strumming to keep things fresh.
Jess Furman, Ethan Roberts, and Lauren Dyson – Pony Life Theme Song (Rod Steven Remix) | Eurobeat
It’s basically tradition for pony songs to get Eurobeat remixes, and of course, with Pony Life having such an energetic theme song, it was inevitable for it to get remixed as well! This short track does just that, remixing the theme song with some epic Eurobeat music. The original lyrics mix very well with the new music, and the track is way faster than the original, making this a fun track overall!
Noc – Empty Horizons | Original Audiobook Soundtrack | Soundtrack / Orchestral
I’d first like to preface this write-up by saying how much I love fanfiction, like almost as much as brony music, and that I’m reading Empty Horizons now and so far it’s really good. So, onto the album! It’s a soundtrack to an audiobook, which I’ve never really seen before. There are 15 awesome tracks on here, and each one is distinct and memorable. There are some really cinematic tracks, like the Main Theme and Twilight Falls, and string-heavy tracks like Rarity’s Theme, but all the tracks, in general, are packed with passion and emotion, and overall they all add to the vibe of the story.
