Elias Frost – Stories Vol. I | Folk / Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 12 April 2017

Elias Frost has a pretty big treat for those who like folk-style orchestral music! His new EP ‘Stories Vol. 1′ has just released, featuring a number of tracks that tell a symphonic story of Princess Platinum. There’s some lovely variety, with some more uplifting pieces, as well as ones that are obviously a lot more folk-y oriented. A couple of them, Royal Duty and Party At Puddinghead’s have already been featured before so may be recognisable, but there’s a bunch of new stuff here too. Give the EP video a listen, and check it out on Elias’ bandcamp!

Blue Note – The Call Of The Wilds | Orchestral

An impressive masterpiece from Blue Note, this full-fledged symphony tells the story of an imagined journey through Equestria (more details on the story in the description) and every movement does a mighty job at conveying the mood of the moment and of the place the journey is at. The video even features awesome art that Blue Note made for the story, and the thumbnail of the video features the route of the journey that has been imagined realistically and traced on the official map of Equestria. Overall this story-empowered progressive experience is a powerful and complete fanon extension of the show and it is always so awesome to get in this community.

Mane In Green – A Special Friend | Orchestral

A Special piece for A Special Friend, Mane In Green’s new release is a wonderful token of the Magic of Friendship and what makes our community so unique. Many works of art in the community and even group projects have been made toward friends in the past, but it’s always a delight to see no matter the medium, and it’s like we can “hear” the feelings from this tender Orchestral instrumental.

CainbowRrash – Relaxing Sunny Day | Soundtrack

CainbowRrash always creates such unique tracks full of sweet ideas, and this new release blends in both acoustic and electric guitars, trumpet, and even piano for a wonderful result that is as soothing as it is delivering a very enjoyable OST vibe. This sounds straight from the OST of a J-RPG, and that is big for me to say considering how much I’m a fan! The progression of the track and the addition of all those instruments and melodies are truly making for a delightful treat, and it is perfect for a Relaxing Sunny Day.

TCB – Diamonds/Stones | Future Bass / Orchestral

For their 500 subscribers special, TCB went all-out and composed two tracks infused with beautiful pony vocal chops and displaying a mighty progression full of emotional vibes! You can grab them here. Another token of TCB’s talent, and two wonderful additions to their streak of amazing and unique tunes!

Mane In Green – Dawn of an Epic Quest | Soundtrack

Everypony brace yourselves for Mane In Green’s highly awaited brand new musical series of progressive music! Much OST-like and definitely fitting very well as BGM tracks for every part of the story explained in the description with timestamps, this story-driven piece of almost 10 minutes tells the start of a new adventure for the mane 6, and displays beautiful and themed Orchestral compositions with extra (awesome) guitars even providing a much welcomed (and once again, fitting) twist for Discord’s Theme. I am certainly much delighted with Mane In Green’s works and inspirations, and I think that tracks like these are very fine examples of the creativity and passion that this community is showing.

A Symphony Of Two – Magnificence | Orchestral

A piece that is both gentle and epic, Magnificence feels like an waltz at the Grand Galloping Gala, or more like an awed waltz ambling around Equestria’s beautiful and lush sceneries, with the most epic instrumental part reflecting much adventurous spirit. A wonderful release from duo A Symphony Of Two!

Wind Wolf – The Mountain Path | Orchestral / Soundtrack

A track that oozes with classic JRPG flavor! Appropriate, as this one was made for the pony rpg game “Adventure of the Lunarbolts”. With a steady beat, a smooth sub bass, some lovely key arpeggios, and of course, that addicting Oboe melody, lots to love in this one! Windwolf has a knack for that RPG ost sound and I can listen to this on repeat. Check it out!

BlueBrony – Lunar Phases | Deep House/Orchestral

BlueBrony is always one to bring interesting combination of sounds, and here it’s no different with a piece that transitions between a few different styles. Initially a deep house-y vibe emanates through the piece, before a build up to some more prog-style saw sounds that have some nice energy to them. Following this is a soft and mystical orchestral section before the house-y goodness returns.

Jyc Row – Tempora’s Requiem (feat. Decibelle) | Orchestral

NB: Originally posted on EQD

Something pretty awesome here! Jyc Row has been working with Lumic4 to produce some music that ties into their Timey-Wimey comic. The music accompanies the artwork seen above, which also constitutes pages 78 and 79 of the comic. Singer Decibelle has hopped aboard as well to add some excellent vocals to what is a powerful and fitting epic orchestral instrumental.
