Zephysonas is a savant when it comes to doing a lot with a little! After coming across the picture used for the cover art to this piece, Zephysonas became inspired and orchestrated the Transient composition. Very calm and lasting only a short time¹, the piece benefits from simple two note chords and little sections of three note walking melodies, giving off a nice characteristic vibe to the cover art!
¹This is the definition of Transient
Rainbow Roadtrip was a real treat, and speaking of treats Faulty pulled off their fastest remix yet, which so happens to be Living In Colour from the same episode! A really fun progression with an upbeat and jumpy melody is always a given from Faulty and they did justice to an already great song, adding some new colour to the mix (pun intended)
This is a very cute and catchy remix of the royal sister’s duet in the show. The fandom has been waiting for so long for Tia and Luna to have their own song and it doesn’t disappoint in the fun factor!. LoopHoof’s remix focusing on the lyrics, with the melody, changed to be like an 80’s techno pop. Its fun and charming much like the royal sisters are in this song. This Qilin can say for living it. All work and no play can and make life pretty boring. Please judge for yourself and make yourself a fruity drink why you’re at it.
(You can hear classic Open Skies Here, and the Francis Wide Skies cover Here, This cover is a combo of both songs.)
My Celestia, how could I have missed such an inspiring song in this fandom! Shame on this dragon pony. If you liked how uplifting the original was. The kind of fandom song that makes tears form in your eyes. Then Evdog adds just bit more to the mix. The lyrics are still there, but its the added Hip-Hop that makes it much more special. The new lyrics now speak for Scoots as she learned how to fly. How she never look back. However, my friends listen to those words. Those words can be used in all walks of life itself. Just picture yourself overcoming your own odds in life. The music itself has this reggae vibe to it. Delightly it fits pretty well with the uplifting mood. Hip-Hop has always been a form of music that is best when it’s done with meaning, and songs such as this are proof. Judge for yourself as always.
Equinity 01: Stellar is turning out to surprise me with each track I listen too. Skelter composes something that brings out a feeling in me that inspires me. It reminds you of something about the series MLP:FiM that I love. Especially when I think about characters like Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, even Princess Celestia. It’s this feeling inside of me or every single brony to never quit. Skelter does a great job with the continuous build of emotion and passion in these courageous melodies that communicate that. The mane 6 have gone on so many adventures, seen so much of their world and inspired so many of us. Giving us a new life when we found this show. I picture a lot us fans listening to this as we about to head off to a pony convention. The cords are what make this piece so uplifting and powerful. This fandom lives on music such as this. This was a fine use of the orchestra genre to honor that about this show. Does this Dragon Pony wonder if you’ll feel the same about Skelter’s music as well? You judge for yourself as always.
For the first time, the outrageously talented Blackened Blue shows off his singing chops and crafts a kick-flank metal song about Yona’s struggles with identity and belonging. Blackened Blue’s guitar tone, drums, clean vocals, mixing, and, of course, screams are all on-point here, and this may be his catchiest song yet. I quite enjoy the bridge section’s vocal effects and guitar tones especially! Fans of metal music from the 2000s will be extremely pleased with this one.
Radiarc never fails to deliver not only creative music that sets itself apart, but also an experience that immerses you into his world. Going by Radiarc’s description, the song not only deals with a ghostly presence that lingers around but is a manifestation of his struggles in his personal life. To create such a unique hybrid piece and to convey those struggles in the music is always something I’ve lauded Radiarc for, and The Familiar might be up there with Aleph Null as one of my favorites from him.
In what might be his most extreme tune thus far, Cascade really feels like Tripon is showcasing the limits of his production and composition abilities. Going along with Out of Limit 4‘s theme of time, Tripon’s piece alludes to Starlight’s time-altering spells used in the Season 5 finale. The build is long and haunting (as Tripon has shown he’s excellent at creating) and the drop is perhaps what you might expect from Tripon, but cranked up to 11. The tune is frantic, heavily utilizes samples, and is certainly one of the most unique fandom songs in recent memory. Big ups to noise.horse for consistently bringing out the weirdest from musicians (you can grab the Out of Limit 4 compilation this song is featured on here)!
Night Blaze, who’s been composing pony songs for a few years now, has come through with an orchestral piece that does a very good job at differentiating itself from the pack. It is themed around a time in Equestria’s past where Discord (and actual discord) ruled over Equestria. The repetition in the percussion actually works in the piece’s favor and the guitar work and tone on display is excellent. The way Night Blaze sets the tone for a dystopian Equestrian past is amazing!
The ever-creative Vylet Pony blesses us with yet another tune, this one off her recent album Love Letters: Colourless, that defies convention yet maintains her signature style (well, one of her many signature styles). This one begins as a low-key hip hop tune featuring some pleasant synth work before cranking it up to 11 and, eventually, morphing into a full-on jazz song with authentic basses, pianos, and vocals very befitting of the style. Also, Dash vocal chops! I’ll always people to check out any Vylet song, and this one is no different!
