Whirlwind – Bright Green Eyes | Orchestral
Insanely talented drummer and new orchestral composer Whirlwind hits us with the second single from his upcoming orchestral album! Dedicated to his favorite pony Applejack, “Bright Green Eyes” is very easy listening with melodies carried by just a few instruments – mainly a piano and violins. The pacing is good with movement between the simple, light piano to added strings and wider chords. The variation and musical builds are exceptional, as is the well-rounded mix full of bright sound and calming vibes.

Continue readingSkyshard – Way Home | Orchestral
Way Home is a happy ending story of the first fully cinematic and orchestral album called “Tiny Sky” by Skyshard. Their ponysona “Sky”, after getting lost during an ecstatic adventure in the never-ending Equestrian skies, finds their path back home with the tenderness of the piano and spirited string sections with resonating trumpets as a triumph for Sky. A breathtaking sight to behold for her and an outstanding composition for us with sound effects from the nature of the wondrous sky to be intensely enveloped in the story.
The album “Tiny Sky” is inspired from the G4 timeline of MLP, contains collabs with Darkspeen Shore and Koron Korak and a variety of orchestra pieces full of fantasy, heroism, electronic hybrid and folk. A whole theatrical album divided in three stories. Once this well-crafted album is in your music folder, you’ll become a Cloud Seeker, altitude and clear skies awaits for you to fly side by side with Sky.

As a wholehearted composer, he also explores the phenomenal world of G3. His recent piece “Honolulu” and great sound at finest is inspired by an artwork of “sydscribbs”. Impeccably for the G3 character, this charming song strolls soulfully the melodies by the serene touch of orchestral string instruments and a gleaming soundful piano. This is a chef kiss for uncommon G3 fan music.
Nugget – Midnight Sonata | Orchestral
Trying something very different to their debut release, Nugget brings us this gentle piano-led orchestral piece.

Its bittersweet sound and backstory is a reflection of its inspiration, as it serves as a lovely tribute to Nugget’s late great-grandmother.

Eastquestria Records – Vol. 1: Prelude | Compilation Album
It’s not every day you find a double compilation album in your inbox (thanks Drixale), so this was a very pleasant surprise. Eastquestria is a new pony music collective from China, who last month launched their first compilation album, Prelude. The album spans two “discs”, each one featuring over an hour of music. There’s mostly a mix of electronic and orchestral/soundtrack – some of the latter even includes the sound of some traditional East Asian instruments. If you’re looking for some artists you don’t normally see anywhere else, this double album is a great place to begin!
