The Russian group Przewalski’s Ponies have a new song about Snowdrop. Gentle, well-paced, and delightfully atmospheric, it’s very relaxing. A poignant mix of simple electronics and strings permeate throughout the song, and Andy Feelin’s vocals are expertly sung.
Misc
ertrii – Time Alone | Piano Improv
For many out there, it is time for the seasonal blues. The new year brings out self-reflection and we are not always pleased with where we landed. ertrii beautifully captures that somber emotion in this improvisational piano piece. Delicately mingling the lonely, high keys with the ambiance and drive of the bass tones over a slow tempo provoking reflection, ertrii gorgeously demonstrates that lowly, solitary feeling we all get from time to time.
Zephysonas & CrystalData – Canterlot Christmas | Orchestral
More cute Christmassy vibes (even if they are a little belated on our part!) this time from Zephysonas and CrystalData. It’s a short but sweet piece that incorporates and transitions between many different parts of an orchestra, as well as harps and nice little jingly bells in the background.
Sonic Hooves – Snow Forest | Orchestral
I didn’t expect so many people to be releasing music over the holidays, but there’s almost an abundance of lovely Christmassy orchestral pieces including this one by Sonic Hooves. Little plucked harps and bells make great aural representations of snowfall and the rising and falling of the strings carries the steady progression of this piece.
Vylet Pony – No Matter What (2017) | Indie Pop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 26 December 2017.
Some more awesome music to celebrate the afterglow of the big holiday with, this time we have some lovely downtempo electronic stuff. First up is a festive chillout tune from ertrii that mixes his signature house-y synth sounds with some great Twilight vocal samples and sleigh bells. The other track here is a re-imagining of one of Vylet’s older tunes called No Matter What, the 5th year in a row he’s recreated it, and this one has some great indie vibes and a nice use of chorus harmonies.
NeverLastStanding – Winter’s Warmth | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 26 December 2017.
To celebrate the holidays many musicians have released some lovely festive music, and here’s one of them! This orchestral piece from NeverLastStanding is full of warm feels, and perfect for the occasion. This song is primarily focused on strings that build to an uplifting crescendo.
Jastrian – A Wintery Evening | Orchestral
Jastrian is back and with a beautiful tribute to the winter season! This pretty piano track uses soft, high notes that move like snow mixed with strong, low tones which round out the sound and bring the sensation of the holidays to your ears. Jastrian orchestrates both a subtly cheerful opening and then builds to a lively middle sections, creating a truly capturing representation of the holiday season.
Rockin’Brony – Kindness (covering AcoustiMandoBrony) | Rock
Rockin’Brony brings us a cover from one of the most iconic Fluttershy songs that has ever been written. As a huge Fluttershy fan myself, this pleases me A LOT. I always enjoy covers from people, but this one really hits home in full honesty. I mean, it definitely hits the nostalgia and I once more feel the power behind this track. The reason why I’m still so proud to be a Brony and support this super happy and creative fandom is helping so many people and doing beautiful things together. Its truly magnificent. It shows that there’s nothing wrong in being proud of what you believe and that kindness is worth fighting, believing, standing up, and dying for. So regardless if you repeat it a lot or you make a lot of songs regarding that, its never wrong to stand up for kindness. So just let them talk, You and I both know that as long as they don’t deliver on what they talk, you can call bullshit. and smash the stereotype. ^^ And as someone that was heavily inspired by this track and is also proud to say he’s a huge fan of Fluttershy, I can definitely speak for her when I say she’s proud of you Rockin, I’m sure of it. 😉 Everybody, show some love man! ❤ Keep it up! one love rock! ❤
Yay! ❤
[SoK] Lucas Gimeno – Sound Chaser | Piano Solo
Lucas Gimeno starts his channel with a bang, with this magnificent and emotional contribution to Seeds of Kindness: A Healing Touch! Powerful melodies are taking the soul for a journey in Sound Chaser, and this feels just like the character theme of a pony with a big heart and a deep story. With more songs on the way, Lucas is definitely a very promising pony musician!
TGiuseppe – This Day Aria (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Orchestral
An amazing orchestral piece for celebrating the return of one great orchestral producer in the fandom, TGiuseppe! The instruments played created the feeling that this cover is a Valsa and sometimes is so epic that reminds me all that times I’ve watched the national anthems before international soccer matches! So epic! Good job and welcome back TGiuseppe!
