CynosuraZ bring us an epic orchestral track, with amazing instruments usage plus the use of awesome choral work makes this track even more epic than it was at the beginning! The feel of the tracks is really epic and has a folky/celtic inspiration behind with the sounds of the flutes. Feel the sky and the ground, and watch the Pegasus fly!
Misc
Synthis – On the Edge | Chill Trap
Synthis blesses us with another lovely tune, featuring some lovely and evocative art by UrbanQhoul. Fans of most of his other work (especially Crash to Pieces) will certainly find something to like here, with Synthis’ signature silky-smooth voice, gorgeous melodies and synths, squeaky-clean mixing, and surprising propensity for trap percussion all make an appearance here. This’ll definitely be in my personal rotation for some months!
Vylet Pony & Sylver – Catching On | Lounge
Fresh off of Vylet’s new album, he and Sylver combine to make this 50s style instrumental track. Catching On is inspired by several different worldly influences and has a nice blend of a jazzy beat with Brazilian and Mediterranean instrumentation. Even with the upbeat tempo, the song has a very chilled out vibe to it – an impressive achievement befitting the talent of great producers like Vylet and Sylver!
Rarity Advocate – Dress Horse | Piano
Rarity Advocate continues to prove he is among the best composers, classical or otherwise, in the fandom with this lovely Chopin-inspired piece about the titular Dress Horse herself. The piece evolves in a very ear-grabbing way. Some moments are more dirge-like, while some are pensive and loving. This ode to Rarity is one of my personal favorite solo piano pieces this fandom’s ever produced.
Equestria Electric Symphony Orchestra – Lilac Sky | Blues
Every time Moon Flame from Equestria Electric Symphony Orchestra releases a new song, we get a new chance to partake in cuddly times with one of our beloved ponies. Lilac Sky is dedicated to Starlight and expresses much love, with tender vocals and lyrics, as well as a cute and refined instrumental giving off fitting romantic vibes. Isn’t it great when we can relate to what other fans are expressing with their fan songs? Never stop showing your love to ponies… and to lovely musicians like Moon Flame!
Jyc Row – The Crystalling | Orchestral
Releasing old gems from the past is often a treat, and this one from Jyc Row themed around the Crystalling of Flurry Heart is a much welcome addition to our music library! Grand and regal melodies and instruments are depicting the event in a wonderful way, and bagpipes are leading the ceremony as one of Jyc’s signature musical styles.
AntaresPony – a pommel tune | Ambient
AntaresPony, a new pony musician who appeared recently, keeps it up with the wonderful Ambient releases like a real fan! Showcasing a distinct musical identity as well as unique aesthetics in the videos, AntaresPony tells beautiful pony-inspired tales through music, and this one is centered around our beloved Coco Pommel! It is quite emotional with many instruments coming into play and an atmosphere like no other. It even features vocal samples from Coco for added emotion, mixed in with much talent!
Also check out the other delightful tune they released along this one, the starlight i love.
Radiarc – Loose | Post-Rock
Quite a cathartic song this one is! Taking musical inspiration from Chris Christodoulou and his Risk of Rain soundtrack, this is some of the most unique post-rock I’ve ever heard. From saxophone to turntable scratches, this track lifts elements from all over the musical spectrum. The drums are punchy and attention-grabbing without being “epic,” and the breaks throughout (featuring some heavenly vocal samples and strings) are just lovely. Clearly, this was a very important track for Radiarc to release, judging by the description and the song itself, so go show him some love!
Zephysonas – Pinkie PiErate | Orchestral
Something a bit different than the usual orchestral that comes out of the fandom, Zephysonas perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being a pirate, as the strings lend themselves quite well to a pirate’s drinking song! Likely taking inspiration from the Pony Point of View (P.P.O.V.) episode, this is a treat in 3/4 time for anyone into the pirate aesthetic. “Care for a diamond?!”
AntaresPony – a luna tune | Ambient
This is a nice surprise from Antares, who appears to be new to the MLP scene. This is a a very relaxing and atmospheric piece about Luna. The song itself really makes you think almost as if in retrospect about all of the hardships our Princess has faced and all of the guilt she holds on to as the world goes by around her. At least; That is how I see it. The artist leaves much of the tune up for interpretation which is quite nice in fact. What do you take away from it?
