Feels like forever since I last saw anything from Wind Wolf, and since I last saw any pony video game related music. I don’t know whether or not Adventure of the Lunarbolts is still in the works, but if this is the kind of music being inspired by / made for it, I hope that something’s still being developped. Go take a listen for RPG-style orchestral…if that’s a thing.
Misc
4everfreebrony – Bound With Time | Pop-Rock
Our inbox seems to have been full of 4everfreebrony recently (hint hint, more to come). Here’s a new song from him touching on the topic of Twilight and immortality, similar to Stay, his first song released since his return home. Those two are also due to be featured on an album he’s working on, so that’s definitely something to look forward to!
Tomato.Tuesdays – Out On My Own (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Indie Pop
Reborn under a new alias, a certain beloved singer from the community comes back with a wonderful cover of the very emotional Out On My Own, using a very singular vocal style (see Lightroom for more), reminiscing of some Classic Rock songs of old. Sub for more and to show your support!
Vylet Pony – Love Letters | Album | Electronic
Making a seemingly very speedy turnaround from the release of Super Pony World this summer, Vylet’s back with another album, this one about Rarity. Not quite as monumental as SPW, however Love Letters still contains 12 tracks, more than qualifying it for a full album status. Read on for a look at each track one-by-one as it transitions through many phases of electronic music with hints of jaaazzzz.
Jyc Row – Land of Equestria | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 1 October 2016.
It always surprises me how Jyc Row is able to so quickly and consistently put out such cool orchestral music, but it’s definitely not a bad thing! Here he’s released a piece that absolutely feels like it takes in the majesty and breadth of the ‘Land of Equestria’, with all his trademark signature sounds to it, as well as a very pretty-sounding arpeggiated bell sound throughout the middle of the track. Definitely check it out if you like powerful orchestral stuff!
Jastrian & FritzyBeat – Ghostie | Electro-Pop
You know it when incredible talents blend to create the perfect fusion, an alchemy resulting in something unique and stunning that is nothing short of magical. Known for an unique sensitivity to sounds and making emotional masterpieces, Jastrian teamed up with sparkling vocalist FritzyBeat who we don’t need to present anymore, to turn into reality a powerful story involving Pinkie and her character depth, and the concept of solitude that is by no way meant to be a bad thing. The result shines with beauty, force, and the power of positivity, along emotion-inducing synths, resonating piano notes, and masterful vocals.
Pen – Suspended In Flight (feat. Cadie) | Orchestral House
It’s time for another fluffy moment in the soft embrace of Cadie‘s wonderful vocals, thanks to this new track from Pen that is definitely of much beauty. With deep lyrics from Wolfe, the song makes us soar for a new musical journey, and leads us through the dreamy melodies and orchestral accompaniments to often get us awestruck, suspended in flight.
Horse Music Hotspot – September 2016
If you missed it live last night, the latest episode of the Horse Music Hotspot is up on YouTube, SoundCloud, and our podcast feed.
September saw a great mix of different genres, and a couple of album releases from individual artists. Here’s our selection of the best of the month.
To listen in live, tune in to Ponyville FM at 10PM Eastern on the last Sunday of each month!
Tracklist and embeds available after the break:
Morrie – Pinkie’s Present (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Indie Pop
A Little Bit for Charity presents us a new release, bringing all the cute! This excellent cover of Pinkie’s Present from A Hearth’s Warming Tale not only delights with a solid, re-imagined instrumental paying much tribute to the original, but also surprises with incredibly cute vocals!! I’m sure Pinkie would approve.
Daniel Ingram – Luna’s Future (GhostXb Remix) | Orchestral
Perhaps more of an arrangement than a remix, but we’ll stick with Ghost’s labelling! This is definitely one of the more unique orchestral interpretations of Luna’s Future that I’ve seen. It takes the base composition and adds so much more to it, including those beautiful choir vocals backing it up.
