So this is an update to progress of the four themed Maressey albums.  I was hoping we’d get to the character arcs where songs start telling stories of several (relation)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 free themed albums, with one for Rarijack, Flutterdash, Twiluna, and one a general Bronies theme. Four just works for the amount of character themes involved and the progress so far on each. Overall this project examines the difficulties of having relationships within different personalities and what happens when friendships are stretched by having different goals in life. I’ve gone with Lauren Faust’s original concept to have Rarity and Dash fulfill their dreams outside of Ponyville but also the costs of such a departure. The biggest theme of all is how things change and we often feel the loss of tearing away of those bonds.

Here’s the state of the four albums at this moment. The number indicates song progress. 5 is a completed song, 4+ range 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.  Every planned album songs has at least a far along wip.
