Mane in Green creates a beautifully sweet and romantic classical work. Inspired by Rarity’s lingering feelings for Trenderhoof, this song is simply brimming with emotion and passion. The combination of piano, flute, and strings channels the heartache of unrequited love.
Misc
Michael Picher – Ancient Archeology: A Daring Do Adventure | Orchestral
This moving, Egyptian piece draws on Daring Do’s many adventures and the score of “The Mummy” for inspiration. Haunting, eerie strings and light piano notes guide us through an ancient tomb filled with lost artifacts and deadly traps. The masterfully orchestrated music is well paired with a lovely bit of SFM work by Starstrike42896, in a sort of PMV style.
[ASOS] Viricide Filly – Spearmint | Downtempo
Coming from the first compilation album of the A State of Sugar Crew: Lollipop, Viricide Filly creates an awesome and chill track that I can consider one of the best tracks from the album! The slow-tempo breaks, the pads and everything that Viricide did on this track turn out pretty amazing! One of the best, made by one of the best! I certainly recommend this track for you!

FlutterDash Records – Lend a Hoof | Pop
Something simple but sweet to end the day. FlutterDash records is a new duo from the Pacific Northwest just starting out writing and recording some of their own songs. While the production leaves something to be desired here, the songwriting and lyrics particularly stand out here. I guess in that sense it’s similar to how I’d describe Indie Notes‘ music – stripped back but nice, well-written songs. So here’s to hoping we see some more from these two in the future!
TheMusicReborn – Magus Cantio | Vocal Orchestral
I love D&D, and wizard is probably my favorite class. So imagine my smile when I saw a song about Twilight Sparkle, described as a D&D wizard, on the queue. TheMusicReborn’s song didn’t live up to my expectations—it exceeded them in every regard! The vocals sound like an old story-song, and the lyrics describe Twily perfectly. It’s easy to imagine a wandering bard sharing the ancient tale of Twilight the Archmage around a flickering fire.
Double Cleff – Luck of the Rose | Electronic Orchestral
Double Cleff revitalizes a very old and very good piece of his in this reboot. A song about Roseluck positively filled with love, happiness, and vibrancy, Luck of the Rose is already a good song. But Double Cleff’s vocoded vocals (reminiscent of All Levels at Once) make it stand out from the crowd.
4everfreebrony – House of Glass [2017 Re-Record] / Aviators – House of Glass [Cover] | Orchestral
4everfreebrony resurrects an old classic with his 2017 re-record. Opening with a truly stunning melody plays on woodwinds, and progressing into piano, this track is an absolute masterpiece of composition. His singing is kind and passionate (and sounds almost like I think Dusk Shine would, actually). About Trixie and overflowing with emotion, this song moved me to tears.
And Aviators has covered it as well! It’s always a pleasure to see him make pony music again. His vocals, as usual, are expert and soothing. The reverb, too, echoes in the most lovely way. It’s hard for a cover or remix to do the original justice, but Aviators is very good at that.
Pinkamena Party – INCOHESIVE HORSE ADHESIVE | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre
It’s Pinkamena Party, you know the drill. It’s after the break for all you kids who don’t care about the rules…
[P@D] Frozen Night – Frozen Heart / Fellowship Symphonies – Heroes’ Respite | Orchestral
Two more awesome orchestral tracks from Guardians. We start off with this orchestral / metal fusion from Frozen Night who never fails to impress me with their combination of guitars and epic cinematic strings and drums.
And to follow up, a much more chill, yet also haunting (visually as well as acoustically) piece from the ever-inspired group Fellowship Symphonies. And with great artwork to match, this piece was a great way to draw Guardians to a close.
Ataraxia – Motion Reimagined | Album | Electronic
I hadn’t realised until recently just how much music Ataraxia has put out over the past couple of years. From solo piano sonatas to cinematic electronic pop songs, there’s been quite a variety. But like all good things, the alias is coming to an end, and as a parting gift he gives us Motion Reimagined – deliberately named so as a ‘rework’ of sorts of his previous album Eternal Perfect Motion. The album often takes a more experimental approach to music production than Ataraxia’s previous work, in particular the VIP of Viridescent, and features a couple of other people’s remixes of notable songs too.
It’s a great parting gift. We’ll miss you Ataraxia. Thanks for all the music.
Motion Reimagined is available to purchase on Ataraxia’s Bandcamp.
