Composer Michael Pitcher brings us this wonderful orchestral arrangement of one of the classic songs from the show, ‘Babs Seed’. Full of steampunk undertones reminiscent of old works by DrDissonance, this is a delightful interpretation of the original from Daniel Ingram, well worth a listen.
Misc
The Shake Ups In Ponyville – Noontime Sonata | Power Pop
Time for a new song from The Shake Ups In Ponyville. The power-pop sextet from Indianapolis have another track from their latest album, all about best cutest blue siren. Rated U for Upbeat!
Ponycide – Across the Skyes | Orchestral
Ponycide performs once again his magic and delivers with another soundtrack-like instrumental piece, filled with so many wonders! With subtle Skyrim notes at the beginning, the track soars for a journey in sound and delivers with progressive orchestral greatness, even including your average epic choir voices in the mix!
StealingShad3Z – Memories of Baltimare | Acoustic
StealingShad3Z is back with what I consider to be his signature style – an acoustic pop-punk style piece focused around a single guitar and his voice. The song is a special piece for Hearts and Hooves Day (or Valentine’s Day for you Earth dwellers), so check it out if you’re into that sort of thing.
DoctorSympony – Taming the Everfree | Electronic Orchestral
From relatively new musician DoctorSympony comes this haunting orchestral track, heavy with electronic elements that help to add atmosphere. Whilst the production quality could be improved, the story told by the composition on offer is well worth a listen.
Aurelleah – The Artist (Life) | Piano Aria
One of a rare breed of pony musicians who is proficient in both orchestral and EDM music, today Aurelleah brings us one of his beautiful little piano arias that often come in-between more major releases, celebrating Lauren Faust.
Equestrian Melodies – AJ’s Travels | Orchestral
Equestrian Melodies continues their Art as Told by Music series – pieces of music inspired by fan art. This short piece focuses around a piano with some strings to accompany it, in an unusual yet pleasant 5/4 time signature.
Equestrian Melodies – The Element of Darkness | Orchestral
In another episode of “Art as Told by Music”, Equestrian Melodies presents a suspenseful instrumental narrative of Luna’s decent into Nightmare Moon. Dramatic strings and swelling horns are punctuated by the dark thumping of a timpani to create a classically chilling atmosphere.
Mad Mars – Freeze Today | Piano Rock
The first of four songs from a forthcoming album, this Mad Mars track features the tale of a young Shining Armor who has fallen in love with his future bride-to-be.
Treblemaker – Vertigo | Acoustic
I really admire this piece because it perfectly captures what the writer (supposedly Rarity) is trying to say, it’s simplicity really helps hammer home the love-struck feeling that warmed my heart the second I heard it. A great track to listen to on a long car ride or while lounging on the beach, or anywhere where you just want to lay out and chill out.
