You can always expect something crazy from Nyancat380, and Controlled Minds is no exception. Erratic Pinkie vocal chops fade in before jumping into a powerful beat just before the drop which consists of low-sounding noises put together rhythmically before quickly pushing right back into Pinkie’s voice. While on the shorter side, this definitely has a few unique sounds to it that are pleasing to the ear!
Misc
Daniel Ingram – BBBFF (Toby Macarony Remix) | Alternate Electronic
Another remix from Toby Macarony’s unique mind. This one is said to be his first ever attempt at creating MLP-related music, even predating his remix of Open Up Your Eyes from 2017! Even back then, all the elements you’ll hear in his music today was present here. This remix of BBBFF features plenty of beautiful elements, such as a lovely choir in the middle and brass/orchestral instruments. The result is a powerful remix that accentuates the original vocals perfectly. Can’t ignore this one!
Rarity Advocate – Sinfonia for Klavier | Orchestral/Soundtrack
Rarity Advocate’s first track of the year (and decade, by extention) is finally here! Sinfonia for Klavier is a two part story told through music, with each image depicting a different scenario. The first part of the song solely consists of a harpsicord playing a regal melody fitting of the princesses; they’re seen waking up in bed in the morning. The track then quickly fading out into a much softer piano part that shows an image of Luna and Starlight Glimmer sitting across from one another over some tea. They’ve shown you don’t need words to get a good image in your head!
Nyancat380 – S.P.Y | Latin Jazz
Nyancat380 is back again, this time experimenting with a genre we don’t get enough of in this great fandom of ours: jazz! Specifically, Latin jazz. This dark, smooth Latin piece incorporates a muted bass, a collage of brass instruments, and of course, tons of Latin percussion. The song ends with overwhelmingly jazzy solos from the piece’s piano and brass elements.
Toby Macarony – I Don’t Appreciate Your Sass | Alternate Electronic
He’s at it again. Mr Macarony making up his own rules for the creative of music. This time a tune about the mane six not taking any crap from no pony. This hodgepodge of elements that he has mixed up is a mixer of Jazz, Rock and Electronica. These melodies create a theme of something you would hear in a fighting game or an adventure game. It very appropriate for getting you in to vision of the mane six going into a place like manehatten looking to solve a friendship problem. When you listen to Toby’s stuff you just don’t know what you’re getting but it sounds unique and enjoyable all in the same. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Daniel Ingram – The Magic of Friendship Grows (Notion Remix) | Electro Pop
The variations of the final song of the series finale keeps rolling in and doesn’t appear to be slowing down. The Brony Notion comes in with a remix with wonderfully done editing the show strong feelings visually. Showing just how the mane six really means to all of us. The remix itself, has the flavor of electro-pop with just a dash 80’s pop music, if you know what to listen for. His main course is still part of the analysis community. But he can still make a good tune here and there. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Koron Korak – Meditation with Fluttershy and Zecora | Didgeridoo
Provider of your daily gate to Equestria, Koron recorded some rare audio of Fluttershy playing the didgeridoo at Zecora’s place! You can even hear them speak! The magic of 15.ai is doing wonders again, just like Koron’s inspired didgeridoo performance! The real magic is how the show inspired passionate musicians like Koron to make such lovely fan works, though!
Ocean Melody – March of the Tides | Lyre Solo
It’s always a treat when Ocean Melody uploads. March of the Tides is their second song based on the Background Pony fanfic, and like Darkness Sonata, it focuses just on the lyre to create a song. A lead melody plays over a soft arpeggio, sounding melancholic and brooding as it is said to be Lyra’s own spin on a song called Sunset Bolero. Short, but bittersweet.
JP Hyper & N4ghtwolf – The Runekeepers | Epic Orchestral
JP Hyper collabed with N4ghtwolf to write a theme song for a fanfic they wrote, and what an epic track it is! It sure is indicative of the kind of epicness you can expect from the story, with those choirs and that progression of 9 minutes of Orchestral greatness that is already an adventure in itself!
Crusader! – You’re In My Head Like a Catchy Song (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Acoustic
The community will never stop making all kinds of covers of that sweet, sweet song from Buttercup! Crusader is extending the vibes from the original with ukulele and harmonica, and of course his signature vocal style that never fails! A very appreciated cover for sure!
