Lunar Snowfall Lo-Fi Hip Hop GhostXb 2021-12-25 | I was in the mood to do a Christmas themed LoFi Hip Hop song and this is what I came up with.While looking for art I found this piece by Plainoasis and imagined this being the soundtrack to a cold winter night as Luna reminisces on her past. Something about the beauty of winter really just brings out a nostalgic mood in me. Hope you guys enjoy it!Art by Plainoasis - deviantart.com/plainoasis/art/For-winter-solstice-721366443Bandcamp - ghostxb.bandcamp.com/track/lunar-snowfallTwitter - twitter.com/MeGhostXb
Owl House Outro Hip Hop / Orchestral Cover GhostXb 2021-12-19 | After every Owl House episode when this music starts playing during the end credits, I'd always thing "dang those are some nice vibes, I want to do something with that, so here's a Hip Hop / Orchestral cover of the owl house outro. I honestly couldn't decide if I wanted a more hop hop vibe, or an orchestral one, so I decided to just combine the two, and I like how it turned out!Art by Synonym.

GhostXb - Dreaming [Ambient Orchestral] GhostXb 2021-12-10 | Here's an ambient orchestral piece inspired by Luna. I like to imagine she takes you on a fantastical journey inspired by your imagination. I really like when music can inspire a surreal feeling which is what I was going for with this.I kind of want to do another version inspired by Celestia. Now that I think of it, the "dreamy" theme might not be as relevant but perhaps the idea of time can be awe inspiring...I'll have to explore some "Celestia" themes, but in the mean time, I hope you enjoy this piece.

GhostXb - Vorigan Dragon Boss Theme [Symphonic Metal] GhostXb 2021-12-08 | Here's a symphonic metal piece commissioned by The Nameless One for their pony DnD campaign. It's a boss theme for their character Vorigan Dragon. Art is unrelated but it's by Vitaj and was a commission by me for a project I never ended up finishing.I had fun with this one. I don't get around to doing symphonic metal these days even though it was my thing for a while, I would like to explore the genre further at some point.Comissioned for The Nameless One's DnD Campaign - youtube.com/c/TheNamelessOneArt by Vitaj - deviantart.com/vitaj
Steven Universe - Escapism (Instrumental Cover by GhostXb) GhostXb 2021-02-25 | Here is a chill acoustic/orchestral cover of escapism. This was actually made for a friend a while back who wanted to do a cover but they never got around to doing it. It's been collecting dust on my hard drive for a while so I figured I'd just share it.Feel free to use it for your cover. I'd just appreciate you credit me and a link back.Background loop by Phizzy - youtube.com/watch?v=N45Uj70f2Vg
GhostXb - Daybreaker Boss Theme [Epic Orchestral] GhostXb 2021-02-20 | I've been meaning to make something inspired by Daybreaker for a while. Thankfully this commission by The Nameless One finally gave me a reason to do it XD! Big thanks to The Nameless One for the commission and support. This was commissioned for use in their DND campaign.I've been listening to boss themes from Dark Souls for inspiration. I've also been trying to implement some inspiration from Igor Stravinsky. I had a lot of fun with this one.The Nameless One: youtube.com/channel/UCDgz0UoL1pTA-7ZFXv3tBzgDaybreaker Art by AssasinMonkey: deviantart.com/assasinmonkey/art/Let-the-Day-Break-685759873
GhostXb & StealingShad3z - The Bard Continues GhostXb 2020-11-15 | Here we have a gypsy jazz song inspired by the classic "The Gypsy Bard". StealingShad3z did a great job with the lyrics and vocals! This was featured on the State of Sugar album "waffle" you can check it out in the link below!This took me way too long to get around to uploading. I even had the artwork commissioned about a year ago and it was just waiting to be used. Around that time I encountered some rather stressful workloads at work and it killed my motivation, and after that, I just didn't have the motivation to get back into youtube. Heck this whole uploading and writing description business feels weird to me cause I haven't done it in so long. I'm not exactly sure what direction I'll be going in from here but rest assured, music is still my passion.I really love the flow of these lyrics, StealingShad3z sure is a talented writer and performer.

Apex Legends Season 3 Day 1 GhostXb 2019-10-02 | Just thought I'd share some clips from my first day of season 3 of Apex Legends. So far I'm loving the new map and changes. I really like the Hemlock now. Crypto is a lot of fun, but so far I'm not convinced he's good for competitive. Unless you can get a lot of value out of the EMP and scouting, being out of a fight to scout doesn't seem worth it.
GhostXb - Burning Wings (Orchestral, Hybrid) GhostXb 2019-06-19 | Hey guys, I FINALLY got around to posting my submission the latest P@D album Skyward, I'm only like 2 months late. I've got an orchestral song here, maybe hybrid? I never really think about, or enjoy figuring out the genre of my music. I was sorta going for a phoenix rising sort of theme here hence the name. Had a lot of fun with this one. Hope you guys like it!Also I usually include art credit in the video itself but I forgot this time. I suck!

My New Favorite Game! Apex Legends Highlights GhostXb 2019-02-08 | This just might be my new favorite game! I've been playing it alot since it came out. As you can see I love playing Pathfinder. I know I just announced I'm working on a new album. I'll admit this game has been eating up my attention but it's just so damn fun. No worries, I'm still gonna work on music. I think I have like 10 wins so far. I can't tell, this game doesn't have a way to track stats that I know of.Twitter - twitter.com/MeGhostXbSong - youtube.com/watch?v=3WLa1jLrlNQ
GhostXb - Reclamation [Jazz, Hip-Hop] GhostXb 2019-02-05 | Hey guys, it's been a while...yet again :( I haven't been very active these past couple years musically. I have bursts of inspiration once in a while which will result in an upload or two, but then they wither away.To be honest. I think a part of it is playing this silly Youtube game. Trying to figure out what to do with my channel, how to market it, wondering how I will make it grow, trying to stay relevant, being disappointed. In the process I think I lost my love for making music. So I decided I'm just gonna force myself to make music for the love of it. I'm not concerned with a specific theme, or how well it will be received, or how "pony" it is. I just want to make the kind of music I love and explore the possibilities in a reckless and child like manner, the way I used to back in the day. I'll make an album of it and see where it goes. This is a taste of what I have in mind for the album.Art by Plainoasis - deviantart.com/plainoasis/art/In-Victory-599227859Bandcamp - ghostxb.bandcamp.com/track/reclamationTwitter - twitter.com/MeGhostXb

GhostXb - Slave to Ambition (Orchestral / Experimental) GhostXb 2018-10-14 | Here's the next horror themed song inspired by this Rarity piece by Neytirix. This one is less sinister then the others, and focuses more on setting a mood. I imagine with this one you stumble across Rarities lair, only to be appalled by her grotesque state. She doesn't seem hostile, but you find her presence extremely disturbing.Art by Neytirix - deviantart.com/neytirix/art/Despairity-Pin-Cushion-MLP-638859149Twitter - twitter.com/MeGhostXb
GhostXb - She Lingers (Orchestral Horror) GhostXb 2018-10-09 | Here's the first of a series of experimental horror songs inspired by art by Neytirix. With each one I'm exploring a different theme, and trying to tell a story through music. With this one I wanted the listener to feel like they were in Fluttershy's forest being stalked and hunted by her. Hopefully I'll be able to get them all done before Halloween is over but lately real life has been getting in the way. Even if they spill into November I'll try to get them all done. Hope you guys will like my experimental horror themes.Art by Neytirix - deviantart.com/neytirix/art/Flutterdie-One-with-Nature-MLP-638697607Twitter - twitter.com/MeGhostXbAll my horror experiments will be on Bandcamp once they're all done.

I was inspired to do this piece after seeing this art by Holivi and I just imagined a chill summer song that could go with it.Hope you guys enjoy! Working with other lyricists and rappers was a great experience and I'm quite pleased with the result. This actually isn't the first time I've worked with Acarion and TheWanderingKit.

This is a remastered and re-recorded version of the lullaby I did with Angel Love a while back. She has since gotten a much better mic so we decided to give this song another go.

GhostXb - Take Me Away [Ambient / Orchestral] GhostXb 2017-11-29 | This was a very experimental ambient piece I've been working on. It's also my longest video yet! I did a lot of experimenting in terms of sound design to see what kind of atmospheres I can get. Some of the techniques I used was paul stretching, and analyzing sound files and converting it to midi to get unpredictable instrumentation like in the guitars and the orchestral instruments later.Anyways, hope you guys like it. Sit back, take it in, and let me know what you think!

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Contender (GhostXb Cover) GhostXb 2017-11-13 | Here's a cover of Contender by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. It's one of a favorite songs by them, and it was also a great way to excersise my production skills as it's a fairly simple song to reproduce but also put my own spin on. I was struggling with the vocals at first. I was going for an 80's ethereal sound and after hours of tweaking and experimenting I got the sound I was going for. Shifting my voice up an octave really helped and it kinda sounds like I got a female backup singer XD!

A rougher version of it was included as a bonus track to my Piano EP "Light and Shadow".

It's been too long...way too long.Art courtesy of AssasinMonkey - assasinmonkey.deviantart.com/art/Hold-511821592This year has been especially difficult for me in regards to my mental health. I've been really struggling with depression and it's not getting any better, it's getting much much worse. I may talk about it in depth in the future, but know I will be seeing a doctor about it tomorrow. Hopefully this will result in some sort of solution. I really want to get back to my former self where I'm feeling more productive and not feeling like shit all the time. These past few months I've felt so distant and disassociated with everyone and everything, including music. While music has always been my crutch, even that is starting to fail me. I'm just not really sure what to do with myself these days...I forced myself to upload this because I've been so frustrated that I haven't really been doing anything lately. Hopefully it will be enough to get things going again.As for this song. It's actually over a year old, just finally decided to release it. While it may be old, the feelings I put into it are still relevant.Links---------------------------------------Bandcamp - ghostxb.bandcamp.com/album/self-doubt-strifeTwitter - twitter.com/MeGhostXb
GhostXb - They Mustnt See Me Cry (feat. BriLizy T) GhostXb 2017-07-24 | Hey guys, its finally here, the song I submitted to Ponies at Dawn: Guardians, featuring the beautiful voice of BriLizy T! This song is inspired by Sunset Shimmer and I would place it just after the first Equestria Girls movie.I was never quite satisfied with how fast Sunset Shimmer turned on a dime from being a queen bitch her whole life then being good gal Shimmer who everyone can rely on. I'd imagine that the transition would have taken much longer and be more difficult then the movies would have you believe. I almost think there should have been another movie between the first one and Rainbow Rocks XD!

GhostXb - A Comforting Thought GhostXb 2017-04-23 | Hey guys, got moody instrumental hip hop track for you. This one was definitely a lot of fun to work on. I've been getting into a lot of hip hop stuff recently. This one had a bit of a different workflow than my typical stuff. I started by just recording some improvised compositions, and once I was happy with what I had, I recorded another layer, and just kept adding them on. I liked how it turned out, hope you guys do to :)Art courtesy of Miszasta, definitely check her out, she does great stuff! - http://miszasta.deviantart.com/galleryLinks---------------------------------------Bandcamp - ghostxb.bandcamp.com/track/a-comforting-thoughtSoundcloud - soundcloud.com/ghostxb/a-comforting-thoughtTwitter - twitter.com/MeGhostXb

Daniel Ingram - Stop the Bats (GhostXb Remix) GhostXb 2017-03-19 | Hey guys, I got a Grime remix of Stop the Bats!

I can't help but experiment with different Genre's. Been holding onto this one for a while, but I was struggling with the mix and what I should do for the video but its finally hear.

GhostXb - Adagio for Lenny GhostXb 2017-03-13 | So I was watching Markipliers lets play of Oxygen Not Included and I found it amusing how dramatic Markipliers reaction to it was XD! So I decided to write a short orchestral piece in memory of Lenny, one of the three original Duplicants in Markiplier's colony. Sleep well sweet prince :(Highly recommend both the game and Markiplier's play through, its quite entertaining XD!Original video - youtu.be/eon3BZXDY_0Twitter - twitter.com/MeGhostXb

Toccata and Fugue Metal (Visualization Test) GhostXb 2017-01-18 | Just something I put together to test the effectiveness of some visualization techniques I learned. What better way to test melodic visualization then from the melodic harmony master himself! I just took some midi data of the latter half of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor and metalized it for this video.I actually learned how to do this in the Adagio's Adagio video, but I did something rather simple with it. I wanted to see what else I could do.Made in After Effects.Mixing and production wise prob not my best effort but that wasn't really the point of this video anyways XD!
GhostXb - Adagios Adagio (Ft. Maria Grigoryeva) GhostXb 2017-01-15 | I wrote an Adagio for Adagio XD! Having lost her ability to sing following the movie, I think it would only be appropriate for her to attempt to express her feelings through other means. My interpretation of Adagio is mainly based on stories like Open Door and head cannon ideas of her hidden compassion of the other Dazzlings, feeling responsible for them, and having failed. Also, considering the possibility of their immortality, I think she would have a lot to say after all that time, even if they aren't in words.Maria Grigoryeva did a fantastic job on the violin. When I first heard the recordings, I was all giddy like a school girl XD! You can check her out on her website. - http://www.mariagrig.comJowybean also did an amazing job with the art. He definitely captured the feel I was going for and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Check him out here. - http://jowybean.deviantart.comWith Maria's Performance and Jowybeans art I'm super pleased with how this came out :)Having spent so much time on this, and having been over two months since my last song upload, I'm actually a bit nervous about this. Despite that I'm always open to feedback in the hopes of improving. I hope to get back into the swing of things by opening this year with one of my more ambitious pieces.Equestria Daily Feature - equestriadaily.com/2017/01/orchestral-music-ghostxb-adagios-adagio.htmlHorse Music Herald Review - horsemusicherald.com/2017/01/18/ghostxb-adagios-adagio-ft-maria-grigoryeva-orchestralLinks / Download---------------------------------------------------------------------Bandcamp - ghostxb.bandcamp.com/track/adagios-adagio-feat-maria-grigoryevaSoundcloud - soundcloud.com/ghostxb/adagios-adagio-feat-maria-grigoryeva/s-cgOyfSocial Media---------------------------------------------------------------------Twitter - twitter.com/MeGhostXbTumblr - http://ghostxb.tumblr.comAbout This Song (TLDR Section XD!)---------------------------------------------------------------------This is one of those ideas I've had for a long time but have been putting off for the right inspiration. I also don't think I could have pulled it off with my previous knowledge. In fact, my previous Dazzlings album had many ideas that I ended up not following through with because I simply didn't have the musical knowledge to pull it off well, but I've come so far since then. Over the course of a few weeks, I've re-written this from scratch four times because I was struggling to get the right feel. One version was musically pleasing, but it ended on a Dorian scale and sounded triumphant and that wasn't really what I was going for. I wanted to write a piece that was thematically appropriate and had intent and purpose behind it, not just a (first decent thing I come up with and slap Adagio's name on it) kind of thing. Eventually I came up with this. To start off with it constantly modulates between two minor keys to maintain a dark, unsettling feeling, the kind of mood we'd expect from Adagio, and then it opens up into something much more raw and powerful, like Adagio expressing her self more honestly and openly when she believes no one is around to witness it. Being stubborn and overly proud, I don't think she could bare to let anyone, especially the other Dazzlings, see her more vulnerable side. Hence the desolate winter setting. Also living in Canada, I'm automatically prone to winter themes during winter XD!On the subject of writing things with intent. One of the biggest challenges I faced with making music for Ambient White, is learning how to achieve a feeling and mood that doesn't always conveniently fit in your comfort zone. Sometimes, the right feeling and inspiration is beyond your reach and you have to push yourself to achieve it.
Upcoming Projects for 2017 GhostXb 2017-01-07 | Hope you all had a great Holiday :) I wasn't exaggerating when I said I work on music every day XD! This isn't even half of what I got, but it's what's most likely to actually be finished in the near future.OC art by Wubcake, she did a bunch of commissions so she could adopt a dog, and she was successful, wish her, and her new dog Lacey the best :) - http://wubcakeva.deviantart.com
Update: Hiatus? Ambient White Music, and Self Improvement GhostXb 2016-12-07 | Hello all. Just letting you all know about a potential hiatus. I also talk about some of my work with Ambient White; previously Ambient Prologue, and my efforts to take my music to the next level. You may not hear from me until after 2017. I really do appreciate all your support and patience. No worries, I'm not going anywhere.If you haven't already check out Ambient White here youtube.com/watch?v=sVv-Lp4TWUg&t=227sAs I often do I used various works in progress as the background music. The music during the first clip is music I made specifically for the game I was working on. Again, not sure what the plans are for this.
GhostXb - Gallant Girls GhostXb 2016-10-30 | Thought I'd make a heroic theme for those cheesy (but awesome) costumes from Legend of Everfree. I tend to favor strings a lot in my compositions. So for this one, I thought I'd give more spotlight to Winds and Brass. I'm quite pleased with the heroic feel of this one. Let me know what you guys think :)Also there wasn't really any art with the feel I was going for so I commissioned Sweet-Pillow for the cover image. I think she did a fantastic job :) Be sure to check her out here! - http://sweet-pillow.deviantart.comAlso shout out to Lycan for coming up with the song title.
