Groovy soundtrack piece incoming! Raycord Legends is an in-development fan game and it may be worth checking out! This OST track certainly promises a quality OST of tasteful influences, and as a huge OST fan I can’t help feeling psyched upon listening to this!
Orchestral
GhostXb – Take Me Away | Ambient / Orchestral
Get ready to travel into another world completely with this 32 minute track! GhostXb experiments with new techniques to create a truly moving piece, using unpredictable instrumentation and subtle dissonance to maintain a well-controlled chaotic, yet calming feel. The uplifting, peaceful ending is a perfectly satisfying finish to the largely ambient track. Brilliant and atmospheric, “Take Me Away” is perfect to put on in the background and lose yourself into.
Sprocket – Dawn | Orchestral
A track as gorgeous as the name implies, Dawn benefits from an incredible progression where piano and strings are chanting a delightful ode to the Princess of the Sun. The finale is spectacular and concludes the track with stunning rays of sunlight depicted through music. Download this gem here!
Spiral Harmonies – Time To Be Awesome (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Orchestral
Spiral Harmonies aka KC Guzman delivers a stunning cover of the movie’s Time To Be Awesome, and it’s time to let that free spirit arise again in a brand new Orchestral arrangement! Percussions, strings, winds, and even bagpipes are present to pay tribute to the original song and Rainbow Dash’s role in the movie!
Rarity Advocate – Pony Piano Sonata | Piano Sonata
Rarity Advocate is back with a new piece of many wonders, and this sonata in three movements is covering various well-known songs and BGMs from the show. First are the classic melodies of Hush Now Lullaby from S01E17 Stare Master. Then the bliss of Luna’s gorgeous Night takes us away, as William Anderson’s Luna’s Theme gets covered in a beautiful way in the second movement. The last movement is a free improvisation on the Theme Song, and there couldn’t be a better finale!
Alexey Kotlyar – Raven | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 25 November 2017.
A haunting beginning to this track from Alexey Kotlyar sets the scene with some ambient sounds and the crow of ravens before spooky strings start to play an eerie waltz. A bit of a character piece, this definitely has a defined dark atmosphere throughout, and makes great use of foreboding yet playful melodies.
Sonic Hooves – Starry Night | Piano Solo
Sonic Hooves makes some of the loveliest Orchestral pieces with always such great ideas and inspirations, and this time it’s a gorgeous piano tribute to our beloved Princess of the Night and her creation! Partake in beautiful melodies, as the comfort of the Night takes you in her embrace…
Radiarc – Still | Orchestral
Quite a somber, yet lovely composition by Radiarc is now out for everypony to listen to, and my, is it wonderful! The blend among the strings, harp, and piano is well done, as well as the exposed flute from time to time in the song. This is another peaceful work here, and it is perfect for falling asleep to. You did a wonderful job, Radiarc!
TempestShadow – Tribute to Snowdrop | Orchestral
It was only a matter of time before someone named themselves after a movie character, so here’s an original piece from newcomer TempestShadow dedicated to the beloved fanon character Snowdrop. Slow-moving, sweeping string chords are led by a solo flute and choral vocals which interchange and carry the melody throughout the song.
Rarity Advocate – Princess Luna Suite | Orchestral Electronic
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 9 November 2017.
After the epic symphony that was Rarity Advocate’s last release, they’re back with a slightly less ambitious but no less awesome piece with Luna as the centrepiece. Some subtle electronic vibes quickly make way for some soaring strings and occasional pulsing bass vibes, and overall this has quite a sombre tone to it, before it gets more uplifting towards the end, perhaps signalling a redemption.
