This is probably one of my favourite songs from Nicolas Dominique recently. He’s already great at doing beatless tracks, and can immediately set a certain mood with his music. Broken follows on from many other musicians regarding where its inspiration comes from, and there may even be a vocal version of this song in the future, watch this space…
Audios
Butterflight – Proteus | Chillout
Hey look, remember A State of Sugar? This is their second release (the first was a throwback so we didn’t feature it), a song from Butterflight. Simple but relaxing, precisely what some chillout songs are meant to do!
Virus Ponies – Angry Pony | Bounce
Virus Ponies are improving their production skills with every new release. I may not be a huge fan of bounce, this song is simple but has pretty good mixing and sound design.
Radiarc – Despite | Orchestral
More than often, Radiarc’s pieces really make me regret not studying music to some kind of qualification level. There are so many subtleties that go into Radiarc’s tracks to make them unique and constantly flowing, telling a story as they progress, and Despite is no exception.
GhostXb – Wild Guess | Orchestral
I’m glad to see GhostXb has been working with A Little Bit Different studios on the soundtrack for Ambient.Prologue, or at least the beta version that was recently released. This song is used in a boss fight of sorts in the game, so uh, spoilers I guess, sorry!
Crusader! – A Changeling Can Change (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Acoustic
Acoustic covers are always kinda cute, and especially when Crusader’s doing them. Get this simple but heartwarming cover of A Changeling Can Change. It’s…nice…
Reverbrony – Blood and Fury | Metal
Whoooooaaaaakay, this song doesn’t waste time building up or anything, it just gets straight into the heavy stuff. Kickstart your Sunday morning with this 6-minute heavy metal instrumental.
Sights Unseen – Sovereign Divination (ft. Cadie) | House
About time these two did a song together! Expect the usual alternate storyline message behind the lyrics, which Sights seems to have made his little signature style when it comes to music.
MC-Arch – Rise (My Past is Not Today) | Rap / Hip-Hop
I need to find a new way to say this instead of repeating myself every time, but I honestly love that MC-Arch’s lyrics always have such a influence on them from who he is as a person, and that they come straight from the heart. While there’s still room for improvement in terms of production, music like this still deserves its place on this site, nice work MC-Arch!
Direct Current – Nimbostratus | Ambient
Wake up. Stretch your wings. Take flight.
The more I try to make ambient and chillout music myself, the more I become envious of those who do it so well, such as Direct Current. I really enjoyed this one, and not just because it’s about master race pegasi; the simple melodies combine together very nicely and the strings add new level of depth to it.
