So hopefully people are aware that I’ve been running and focusing exclusively on the Maressey Project for several months now. It’s now a 19 musician group project that’s been in the planning stages for over 2 years now. Agents of Discord helped interview me about the project and asked what it is and why we’re doing it. I hope you take the time to listen because it’s a lot of work, something I’m very passionate about, and different then what I think people are used to seeing (and hearing).”
There will be a part 2 with song teasers and talking about each of the great musicians who are all taking part. I’ll try to get that up in a week or two.

Ok at some point I needed to think about what the Maressey album would look like and would it be just ONE? While the themes often change each week on the new release I was hoping we’d get to the character arcs where songs start telling stories of several ships, with each song telling a different chapter of that storyline over its course. The best place for this to happen is with the album releases so each album has a theme. Therefore I’ve proposed collecting the songs in 4 themed albums, with one for Rarijack, Flutterdash, Twiluna, and one a general bronies topics theme. Four just works for the amount of character themes involved and the progress so far on each. .
The number indicates song progress. 5 is a completed song, 4 has an instrumental and a vocal with it in the mixing stage. 3’s often have a far along instrumental but are needing a vocal or further instrument work. 2’s or lower are very much a wip instrumental draft or perhaps have nothing yet if lower. Any song that is crossed out could have been part of the album if someone took charge and made the song but is otherwise not likely going to be attempted to make it just due to time constraints. They are non essential to album completion so we are likely skipping them. Can’t make every Maressey song into a reality.
- This Charming Mare (Rarity’s Song) 5 Morte Mcadaver
- Braeburn It Was Really Nothing (the Braemac song) 4.7 Jeff Burgess
- Pretty Mares Make Graves (CheeriMac) 3.5 (checked out by Luna Jax)
- The Mare With The Thorn In Her Side (The Rarijack Song) 4.7 Jeff Burgess
- Colt Afraid (SweetieMash song) 3.5 (need m-f duet vocal, checked out by Simul and Bloo)
- Panic (Hang the Dubstep Dj) 5 Andante Skie
- Manehattan (Rarity’s Song) 3.5 (checked out by Jokeblue)
- Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now (Coco Pommel’s Song) * 5 Zatslol

Second Album (Flutterdash includes Scootaloo + Discord) 9 songs
- Ask (The Flutterdash song) 5 Evdog and Starbreeis
- Last Night I Dreamt That Somepony Loved Me (Scootaloo’s Song) 4.6 Evdog
- Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before (Dash’s Song) 4.6 Bloo

- Half a Pegasus (The Scootaloo Song) * 3.5 (need vocal, checked out by BlindSkyWatcher?)
Third Album (Twiluna Theme, Includes small Pinkie Pie arc, Celestia, and Trixie) 9 songs. Twiluna arc is needing the most attention but could be rescued quickly with vocalist help on Luna and Twi’s parts.
- Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want (Twi’s) 5 Zatslol
- Luna in a Coma (Celestia’s Song) 5 Faux Synder
- Bigmouth Strikes Again (Trixie’s Song) 5 SylverLining

- Back to the Old House (Pinkie’s Song) 5 Zatslol
- This Night Has Opened My Eyes (Maud’s Song) 3 (need f vocal)
Fourth Album (The Brony Album). This one is mainly about the fandom and from our pov. Likely may include some pony songs dealing with background characters that don’t fit well in the other 3 mane 6 album concepts. 10 songs
- How Soon is Now? (tale of a shy brony) 5 Zatslol
- Is It Really so Strange? (Bronycon Summer) 5 Morte Mcadaver
- I Want The One I Can’t Have (The R34 Song) 3.5 (need m vocal)

As always looking for musicians and definitely vocalists who want to take part and make these plans a reality. Contact Freewave if you’re interested.

What do you say? Should we finish that fourth Maressey album finally? Maybe by December we’ll have the Twiluna album done….we’ll see but want it to happen. Sorry for the wait.
Adding an initial pun on the Pony Life with this track. Did we really end this long running series so we could do a Teen Titans wacky spinoff? Yikes.
This track has vocals by the amazing Faux Synder. Rest of the music by Freewave. The lyrics may be a bit old as we recorded it during the third season. Waddyoudo!? Based on the music by The Smiths of course.

Might get this out by December. Been sitting at 90% completed for a long time. I think its time to get it done. All things come to an end.
The humbling position of having to submit your work to an anonymous panel who is flooded with a multitude of submissions is a difficult thing. While we often blame the judges for our problems, we so rarely ask, have we as creators done enough to really merit any eventual success we ask for?
Not only vocals but all the instruments on this track were by Andante Skie https://www.youtube.com/user/AndanteSkie

Enjoy!
Once upon a time there was this nifty little project named Maressey. It got out 2 underground cool indie rock pony inspired tribute albums but promised one or two more. After a few weeks of listening to old wip tracks and with a promise of some summer free time and a breath of self confidence I’d love to see if we could complete the Twilogy. Technically there’s enough tracks for the initial thought of 4 albums but best to aim for a large third album if we can’t get to all of them!
A lot of tracks are done that need to be a part of this and those that aren’t have mostly completed instrumentals. But it would be a shame to have 70-80% of a third album done and just not complete it or release it. So rather then keep in retirement, I’d like to get ‘er DONE this summer! Calling out to all Maressey alumni and anyone else vocally interested and capable.
Maressey Project Assemble!

Scootaloo is infatuated with Rainbow Dash, wanting to spend every moment
with her idol. Rainbow Dash is bored of her bland relationship with
Fluttershy and appreciates the devout attention. The unbalanced and
unhealthy relationship is a hardship for the young pegasus. It’s clear
she cares so much more about Dash, but is not old enough, or ready, for a
companionship that she desperately wants (and is not getting).
Andante Skie did the great vocals for this track. Thanks for helping on this track and being such a great friend!
