After a few collaborations between Cainbow Rrash and one half of A Symphony of Two, here now comes a completely different style of orchestral, produced by Cainbow alongside the full double of ASoT. Compared to their relatively light tracks, this piece is heavy, strong, and powerful as it steadily grows more epic over time. Inspired by the feel given off by a lot of Hans Zimmer’s music, the epic nature absolutely brings this across. The foreboding atmosphere perfectly represents the impending march of the Changelings, and this is certainly one of my favourite collaborations these guys have done so far.

Already another orchestral collaboration from one half of A Symphony Of Two and CainbowRrash, this is by no means a bad thing. Evidently these two work well together, which is shown by this lovely piece which has a distinctly springtime feel to it. Carried heavily by piano, and punctuated by some light bells, it has some great uplifting strings also.

A new series of orchestral productions, A Symphony of Friendship is a series of collaborations between CainbowRrash and Tom, one half of A Symphony Of Two. This piece, Little Peeks focuses on the lighter side of Fallout Equestria character Little Pip. With a mix of flute, strings, oboe and more, this is definitely a pretty whimsical piece, and well worth a listen!

A bit of a change from the metal and dark orchestral pieces he normally puts out, Elias shows his lighter side here with a strong uplifting orchestral piece meant to act as a sort of anthem for the pegasus race. I do quite like Elias’ orchestral works and this one is no different with a strong mix of instrumentals from trumpet-like sounds to crisp strings and some marching-style percussive elements as well. Definitely worth a listen if you want to celebrate the power of the pegasus!

Jyc Row is back again with a new orchestral track, and this is certainly one of his more uplifting ones! With a strong happy vibe to it, pushed mostly by the bright strings throughout the track, it also features his trademark strong percussive influence and some celtic flavour towards the end that still manages to fit in quite well. Drawing inspiration from the artwork above, it’s easy to hear the influence shine through as Jyc takes us on a trip to cloudsdale.

Earlier this year, we learned of MelodicPony’s unfortunate passing. It was around this time that CainbowRrash started discovering the fandom, including Melodic’s channel. So in tribute, they’ve created this short but sweet piece, seemingly emulating Melodic’s style by using motifs from the show’s soundtrack and BGM. It’s also available on the recently released HMC Vol. 1 album.

Perhaps acting as a solemn yet valiant theme for the griffons, this new piece from A Symphony Of Two conveys both strength and wisdom through an amazing progression making wonderful use of winds and strings instruments alike. Embodying Pride and musical wonder, this track is another gem in the streak of awesome releases from this definitely very successful duo!
