From a new perspective, BlueBrony has been releasing some really interesting projects. This one is one of many. The marimba feeling along with bells gives a western yet tropical vibe to the song. A song about a stick and stone from our favorite show. What can we ask more? Good job BlueBrony, keep up the amazing work.
Equestria Electric Symphony Orchestra – Wandering (Sweet Apple Acres) | Show Tune
It’s always exciting to see what Equestria Electric Symphony Orchestra comes up with next! For a relatively new producer in the fandom, EESO always finds a way to be charming and play from the heart. Wandering is another great example of that sentimentality as this early Broadway-style track has the right amount of country feel, mixed with a spring-in-your-step kind of beat, and vocals singing of a bright outlook for our favorite older Apple sister. The song details Applejack’s trip back to the family farm after her trip to Manehatten as a filly. The whole track is warm and brilliant, and such a genuine piece of uplifting composition!
Steel Chords – Sweet Apple Acres (feat. EVBP & Djohn Mema) (Bowling For Soup ponified) | Pop Punk
Steel Chords is back and this time he brought friends! Parodying Bowling For Soup’s hit song Ohio (Come Back to Texas), Steel sings about Applejack’s trip to Manehatten as a filly to live with her Aunt and Uncle Orange. He describes how the Apple’s back at the orchard miss their beloved sister while she is gone. EVBP provides the guitars and bass, while Djohn Mema rocks the drums. With funny and clever references to other episodes, creative harmonies, and a gritty, punk feel, Sweet Apple Acres is a great take on the original track!
Elias Frost – We’ve Come So Far (covering Daniel Ingram) | Industrial Metal
You can always count on Elias Frost to cook up something different. Covering the opening song from Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship, Frost takes the happy pop track to a heavy, darker place. Adding some metal beats, a lot of distorted guitars, and a dramatic synth, Elias creates a brilliantly unique take on the original, complete with the video of him performing it.
Brilliant Venture – Moved On | Dubstep
Brilliant Venture’s always had a talent for nostalgic songs, and Moved On is no exception. At once melodic, energetic, and oldschool, this song jumps from genre to genre fluidly. It’s like being taken on a guided tour by a cheerful, helpful, kind pony (Pinkie?) through a world of happiness and nostalgia.
Daniel Ingram – Time To Be Awesome (JoinedTheHerd Remix) | House
JoinedTheHerd is back and going strong with this remix of Time to Be Awesome! Interjecting his amazing synth phrases into the hit movie track, JTH keeps the uplifting feel of the song while adding his own cheerful style to the mix. JoinedTheHerd uses the chops to capitalize on the catchiness of the song and mixes them up so that it keeps you on your toes, making for an awesome remix!
UndreamedPanic – The Beach | Future Bass
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 23 April 2018.
UndreamedPanic’s been hard at work lately, with the end result being an awesome new album of future bass and synthpop-y tunes! This first track from the album has some awesome vocal chops and upbeat composition, as well as some classic future chords. You can grab the album on Bandcamp here!
[P@D] Wandering Artist – Prance, Think, Prance Again | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 22 April 2018.
Wandering Artist (or John Doe) is back with some more deer-y pony music! Originally intended for the Pony Town soundtrack, this piece evidently evolved into something a bit more than that, with some gorgeous complexity and dynamics throughout the piece. The composition is soft and playful, making great use of piano, strings and more.
Flyghtning & Flutter Rex – Nothing but Discord | Electro
Electro, hard trance, whatever you want to call it, this collab between Flyghtning and Flutter Rex is pretty cool. It has this great combination of a dark soundscape, which is only enhanced by the triplets. That deep bass drives most of the song, but it occasionally breaks down into an arp that switches the whole thing into a major key all of a sudden. I love that sort of play between major and minor roots in the same key, nice work by both of these guys!
Kelvin C. H. Reverie – Frozen Time | Acoustic
Kelvin continues his recent Applejack-themed acoustic streak (in fact, it’s all part of an upcoming album) with this more melancholic piece about wanting to go back to the past and simply remain there.
