Toby Macarony’s newest release is a fantastic remix of Stop the Bats. With sizzling wubs and glorious voice-distortion on the mane 6’s chorus, he adds a new layer of haunting to this already-spooky song.
Misc
Radiarc – Always There | Orchestral
Radiarc ventures back into the dark orchestral style in this thrilling roller coaster of a track. Always There swings back and forth, starting as a slow, empty-feeling piece comprised mainly of high piano keys and an ambient voice, and then jumps into an intense battle-style epic. The different parts are both dark and feel like a raging battle inside your own mind. After going through several rewrites and a lot of time spent making sure it was done right, Radiarc really delivers with this tribute inspired by the cover art used in the track!
Vylet Pony – Hold on Before I Forget | Indie Pop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 12 March 2018.
Vylet’s gentle works from his Tales From Equestria album continue, and this one has a pretty strong focus on his vocals. They come across pretty emotional and sultry here, with some great use of reverb in the instrumental to add some heavy feeling to it. The backing vocals also add another layer of depth.
[P@D] A Symphony Of Two – Renaissance | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 12 March 2018.
A Symphony Of Two’s works are often best described as deliberate and thoughtful, and this piece is arguably the strongest example of that yet. A very classically designed and tense piece, the composition throughout is highly captivating, and the strings especially are hugely emotive, whilst the piano is quite beautiful.
Matías Peñaloza – Open Up Your Eyes (covering Daniel Ingram) | Piano / Orchestral
Matías always does a great job of reworking MLP songs into unique little accompanied piano arrangements. This one even goes as far as including the middle instrumental section that I’ve not seen anyone else use in their covers! Always nice to show some love for the BG scorers.
Sonic Hooves – Night Rainy Lane | Jazz
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 10 March 2018.
Here Kelvin/Sonic Hooves delivers another beautiful piano piece that is, as always, composed thoughtfully to provoke some emotion whilst listening, with some jazzy overtones as well.
[P@D] Przewalski’s Ponies – I Will Believe In You (feat. Kirya) | Acoustic
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 8 March 2018.
Time for another track from Ponies At Dawn – Rebirth! This is a collaboration between Przewalski’s Ponies and Kirya, with some gorgeous Russian vocals the focus of the track, and supported excellently by some terrific guitar and a super cool video of them performing the song.
ModernBard – Soaring High In The Sky | Orchestral
And now for something a little different from ModernBard’s usual style of music – he’s moved away from electronic into the realm of orchestral and done a great job of it too. Short but sweet, this piece captures the majesty of flying and of soaring high in the sky.
[P@D] Radiarc – Bury Me | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 8 March 2018.
Radiarc’s dark orchestral works continue with this thoroughly captivating piece that carries some heavy weight to it. The track is about Twilight’s struggle with her own immortality, and the effect that the mortality of her friends has on both her and them. There’s some lovely use of guitar and percussion alongside excellent vocal choir sounds and it’s definitely a piece worth listening to.
[P@D] ThatMusicBrony – Let Me Love You | Electropop
One of the best tracks coming from the recent P@D album Rebirth, ThatMusicBrony delight us with some twenty one pilots kinda feeling track with some really cute and romantic lyrics! The instrumental is simply divine, a true treat with amazing synth work and the drums are really well performed. Meanwhile we have the amazing vocals, with TMB’s amazing voice singing his well-written lyrics! Really a treat for Electropop fans, if you are into twenty one pilots, I really suggest give this a listens!
Download Rebirth on bandcamp (you know, that promotional paragraph that I shouldn’t do but I do anyways because the album was awesome and you should grab it) and if you are rich buy it to support the amazing artists!
