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.
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.
