No, seriously.
This one certainly took me by surprise when I heard it. Not only does Jyc take a shot at more of an electronic side of production than usual, but it’s combined with his own celtic orchestral style, Francis’s input on the metal sections and IbeConCept is brought in to rap in the verses. There is literally an influence from every category we put things into here (Electronic, Rock, and Misc), and I’ve never heard anything quite like this. Kudos to the three of you for this!
Shipping time! A slight change of direction from Aurelleah’s usual music, and a welcome return to hearing some of his vocals. But of course, a love song is even better as a duet, so Wubcake takes the part of Marble Pie as her and Big Mac reminisce over meeting. How cute.
Almost definitely a misspelling, but I’ll let it slide. This piece from Zephysonas, although relatively simple, is very pleasant to listen to, Simply a nice, relaxing piece 🙂
Here it is, what’s bound to be the best Ponies At Dawn album yet. With each new album comes both a new selection of artists as well as some of the great ones who have been around for a while – something that is in my opinion the best balance when compiling brony music.
The album is available completely for free on Bandcamp, or you pay whatever amount you wish for it. You can expect to see many of the songs from it posted on the site in the coming days and weeks!
Sometimes people have a set name and theme in mind for their songs, and build it based around that. In this case…well it’s not quite the opposite either, more a mixture of both. And the strong emotion that I’ve come to expect to be embedded in Radiarc’s compositions shines through as usual.
Did I mention that this song is an étude? Here we have a short but sweet piano piece from Sonic Hooves. And it’s not just put together in a DAW either, this here’s a live performance; always considerably more emotive and, for me, more enjoyable too.

A Symphony Of Two return with another orchestral track. This one starts softly, and builds in both emotion and strength as it goes. This is evident both in the drum programming and the string use. A solemn break in the middle makes way for a more uplifting second half, in a track that flows very smoothly. Definitely worth checking out.
Feels like forever since I last saw anything from Wind Wolf, and since I last saw any pony video game related music. I don’t know whether or not Adventure of the Lunarbolts is still in the works, but if this is the kind of music being inspired by / made for it, I hope that something’s still being developped. Go take a listen for RPG-style orchestral…if that’s a thing.
Making a seemingly very speedy turnaround from the release of Super Pony World this summer, Vylet’s back with another album, this one about Rarity. Not quite as monumental as SPW, however Love Letters still contains 12 tracks, more than qualifying it for a full album status. Read on for a look at each track one-by-one as it transitions through many phases of electronic music with hints of jaaazzzz.

It always surprises me how Jyc Row is able to so quickly and consistently put out such cool orchestral music, but it’s definitely not a bad thing! Here he’s released a piece that absolutely feels like it takes in the majesty and breadth of the ‘Land of Equestria’, with all his trademark signature sounds to it, as well as a very pretty-sounding arpeggiated bell sound throughout the middle of the track. Definitely check it out if you like powerful orchestral stuff!
