Musical talent and beloved brony Aoshi returns in full force with a new song, rapping with conviction and emotion about his feelings, and his reflection into the Mirror Pool! The track also showcases emotional piano that fits so well to the concept of personal reflection. It feels so good to see him back, and in an awesome live action music video no less! We love you Aoshi, keep being yourself!
Misc
Wandering Artist – Ghost | Soundtrack
Created for the popular Pony Town’s Halloween update, Wandering Artist really delivers a fantastic tune with a spooky but whimsical atmosphere. It’s incredibly easy to imagine this in a video game, especially during a night or a graveyard level, and the use of background ambiance, as well as sparse strings is top-notch on this tune!
Available for download on Wandering Artist’s Bandcamp.
FilledSilhoutte – The New Form EP | Ambient
Beginning production in the community relatively recently, FilledSilhoutte’s eerie new EP is quite the intriguing experiment with soundscapes. The majority of it has some awesome experimentation with ambience and sound design, especially on the dystopic Hysteria. What exactly the “New Form” is is up to the listener, but, needless to say, it is beyond sinister. My personal favorite is the noisy, percussive Overthrown, which is chaotic and has a deceptively simple backing trap-inspired beat. I am beyond interested to hear more conceptual albums from FilledSilhoutte in the future, and you should be, too.
Jyc Row & Felicia Farerre – Night Queen VIP (feat. PrinceWhateverer) | Epic Orchestral
Jyc “Epic” Row released a VIP of the masterpiece from P@D Rebirth Night Queen, adding even more awesomeness thanks to PrinceWhateverer‘s guitar performance! Always featuring Felicia Farerre‘s amazing Luna-like vocals, the VIP provides a renewed anthem to ever-lasting Night and rule of Nightmare Moon over Equestria, blending orchestral, electronic, and rock elements!
Alexey Kotlyar – No Return | Orchestral
After a brief hiatus, budding composer Alexey Kotlyar is back! This piece fits the mood depicted in the art by Das-Leben perfectly, with some great tension building and use of somber strings, along with a gorgeous piano section. A fitting tribute to the fallen Snowdrop, this is another pony orchestral composer not to be missed!
Elias Frost – Shadows | Orchestral / Soundtrack
A mix of spooky and epic, Elias Frost bring us Nightmare Moon theme, mixing modern classical music elements with orchestral ones. The instrumentalization is amazing as always and the bells are soo cold and creepy that put me shivers on my skin. A true song that represent the terror and epic behind Nightmare Moon!
Ditherer – Loco Pommel (feat. N. Hollow) (prod. Riddim Man) | Hip-Hop
It’s so awesome that Ditherer contributed to the Nightmare Night party as well, with a full album titled Nightmare Night Nine! Loco Pommel is a fire collab with the one and only N. Hollow and showcases both lovely pony lyrics and mad rapping skills! Also on the album, Mirror Pool 2 Cypher is a spooky alternate version to the story of S03E03 Too Many Pinkie Pies and it works so well! Thingpone is an insane as it gets, and Ditherer also made his own versions of community classics, resulting in an epic Guncakes cover and September cover, inviting other rapper friends too! An overall awesome album and such a treat to have for Nightmare Night, and on all other days too! Grab it from Bandcamp!
Lukas Vokrinek – Desperate Escape | Epic Orchestral
Before today I’d never heard of Lukas Vokrinek. But after listening to this song, I wish I had. It’s amazingly inspirational epic orchestral, themed around Twilight fleeing her attackers. You can feel the danger and fear flowing through each note.
Ponyphonic – Feed Me With Your Heart | Orchestral
Ponyphonic returns! Dane Larson writes and performs this haunting yet lovely song about the Queen of the Changelings and, as you can expect from Ponyphonic tunes, it is absolutely gorgeous and the quality is sky-high! The lyrics and melody perfectly encapsulate the vibe of a “love” song by Chrysalis, with an incredible accompaniment behind it. A new pony song from Ponyphonic has been in order for quite a while and they certainly do not disappoint!
Arabesque Sympony – Tricks up My Sleeve (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Funk Rock
It’s not just Nightmare Night, it’s also Trixie Day! And Arabesque Sympony made such a lovely cover of Trixie’s Tricks up My Sleeve from EQG2, in the spirit of the spooky night! Getting on stage to play along with Trixie, the pony musician not only covered the instrumental delightfully using the power of rock (including an amazing bass solo), but is also covering the song with his own vocals that are so cute and beautiful. Overall a very addictive cover that will make you want to sing along and raise your hooves, and cheer for Arabesque Sympony and Trixie!
