EveryDayDashie continues his musical trip around the world, pushing us through the vibrant street markets of the Orient! “Trotting to the Unknown” combines Arabic and Indian influences together with lovely orvhestration. This track is uniquely upbeat and combines a lot of exotic sounds together for a lovely experience that screams variety and fun!
Orchestral
Frozen Night – Dragon of Time (Piano Version) | Piano Sonata
Sometimes I forget that amazing music comes in all shapes and sizes, but Frozen Night’s piano version of “Dragon of Time” proves just how much can be accomplished with a single instrument. The composition begins slow, with its regretful and lonely melody reverberating before picking up speed, weaving together gorgeous arpeggios over the thunderous strike of the lower notes, only to return to its former melancholy at the end. The dynamic contrast between sections is incredible, and the piece will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end!
Harmonic Six – Equestria, Land We Love | Orchestral
Remember when we all found out Equestria apparently has some sort of national anthem in Season 5? Well here comes Harmonic Six with a lovely orchestral anthem also somewhat inspired by the Heart Carol. This piece is wonderful to listen to and you can almost feel the melodies reaching out to your heart. Definitely give this song a listen!
Dandelion Ass – Rarity In Captivity, Unicorn in Captivity tapestry | Classical Orchestral
Today I’m happy to bring you some more amazing composing work by Dandelion and Octawa! It’s not often that you hear a Harpsichord nowadays, but they use it to it’s fullest, letting it be a big part of the arrangement, giving us a wonderful new yet old sound! This piece may be a bit longer, clocking in at just under seven and a half minutes, but I can tell you it leads you on a journey, and especially if like me you enjoy orchestra you will love just listening along to this and forgetting about everything for a while!
EveryDayDashie – The Legend of the Pony Heroes 小马英雄传 | Epic Orchestral / Electro Bounce
EveryDayDashie, returns to us with yet another beautiful orchestral tune! This time, with amazing Oriental vibes to it, loudly and clearly soothing the listener with amazing instrumentals and shouts of glory and willpower, then switching it ALL up, bringing in majestic electronics into the mix! Making the full wonder of the legend blasting through your speakers! I am always amazed by EveryDayDashie’s versatility and once again Dashie absolutely nails it; amazing work! The diversity you bring within your music is inspirational and truly one of a kind!
Daniel Ingram – Time to Be Awesome (EveryDayDashie Remix) | Dubstep
The jack-of-all-genres EveryDayDashie brings us an orchestral dubstep remix of this iconic song from the 2017 movie. From the first hard-hitting note to RD’s modified vocals you know you’re in for a unique ride. The buildup will have you headbanging, and it only gets more intense from there. Keep an ear out for the fiddle, at which point the track really takes off. That combined with the G5 voice clips (in a G4 song!) really help to accentuate the rebellious spirit of the original track. You definitely won’t regret giving this one a listen!
Ethan Toavs – Starcatcher, The Magnificent | Orchestral
Ethan Toavs presents us with another wonderful orchestral composition, this one based on the G3 pony Starcatcher! The piece begins with a majestic fanfare before springing into a lively solo played by an instrument most of us have never heard before, the Bulgarian kaval! The middle section is my favorite however—every instrument drops out suddenly to reveal a celesta playing over a dreamy, barely audible choral ‘ahhhh’. It’s absolutely gorgeous before picking back up into a triumphant brass finale!
EveryDayDashie – A Celtic Pony Encounter | Epic Celtic Orchestral
EveryDayDashie has been on fire as of late, weekly releasing pony tunes in a wide variety of genres ranging from electronic to rock to orchestral. This week’s uplifting pony tune, “A Celtic Pony Encounter,” is inspired by Sunny Starscout’s journeys through Equestria. The piece features an upbeat Celtic melody supported by drums, fiddle, bamboo flute and dulcimer. A gentle interlude in the middle of the piece hovers briefly, reflecting the inspired beauty of the Celtic landscape, but soon relaunches into a crescendo of highland adventure!
Thunder Dash – This Is How A Unicorn Dreams (Izzy’s Lullaby) | Orchestral/Ambient
Borrowing from Izzy Moonbow’s “Fit Right In” from MLP’s “A New Generation,” Thunder Dash’s “This Is How a Unicorn Dreams” combines the gentle, soothing vibes of ambient music with orchestral sounds suggestive of ethereal pipe organs, softly punctuated by airy bells. The piece feels cathedral-like and dignified, like a wedding procession of hopeful dreams. With gentle piano carrying the lullaby’s main melody, an array of humming choirs, crystalline chimes and other dulcet tones support the melody to create a dreamy, mystical, magical feel worthy of getting lost in.
Harmpony – Regretful Future of Snowfall Frost | Orchestral
If you’re looking for something epic to listen to, this orchestral tune by Harmpony is exactly the go-to. As you march into a freezing blizzard, these intense and lively hits of an orchestra complement each other to fabricate an epic, menacing battlefield, greeting you with a frigid but mysterious atmosphere. But the story doesn’t end there as this masterpiece suddenly drifts into a regretful, melancholic vibe elicited by various solo instruments. The soundtrack absolutely nails the rich variety of atmospheres, and whether or not you enjoy epic orchestral music, you can surely feel the vibrations through the fierce and spirited sounds. Wonderful work!
