PLEASE NOTE: THIS ENTIRE POST CONTAINS AN INSANE AMOUNT OF SPOILERS, ESPECIALLY FOR STARSHIP PONYVILLE. BY PROCEEDING PAST THIS POINT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THIS.

These are mostly just concepts, and there are no guarantees that these things will get made.

—

Hark! Where the Apple Falls 

A short album about Applejack in the wake of her parent's death. It would be a neo folk / chamber type album that examines the relationship of the universe, family, and death.

Starcrossed 

A university love story album about Vinyl and Octavia, both experiencing genderqueerness and gayness. It would be a very mixed genre album. The biggest theme of the album would be challenging authority (particularly family)  

The Story of Rara 

A short album about Countess Coloratura in the years before meeting Applejack again. It would be a glam rock / progressive rock / electro rock album that deals with the absence of women/femme aligned people in the music industry, juxtaposed with the treatment of femme aligned people in the music industry.  

Can Opener's Notebook: Seafarer

Spoilers: An album that helps bridge the events of Fish Whisperer and Starship Ponyville: Promise Complex. It would entail Canni's meeting with Luna and journeying to the center of the west ocean to find a staff that would aid in the spell of sending Canni to Lumi Tyr. Very mixed genre album, focused on cinematic and ambient things.  

This is Not a Pony EP

An EP that examines the relationship between creative progression, nostalgia and comfort zones, particularly in the context of a fandom. There would be two distinct acts to the album; the first act would be mostly focused on early brony fandom style electronic music, while the latter half would focus on noise rock and shoegaze styles.  

Love Letters III: Ego Death

The final project in the Love Letters series that focuses on Rainbow Dash's endeavours to reconnect with Rarity, only to discover her involvement in the Equestrian Syndicate organized crime collective. The genres would likely be similar to both previous Love Letters albums, entailing r&b, jazz, pop, and electronic with noir elements.  

Butterfly Polychrome

A loose concept album about nostalgia and love, in the spirit of Tales from Equestria. Genres would entail soft electronic, folktronica, and pop.  

Dreamweaver

An album about a love story between Coco Pommel and Princess Luna. The genres would likely be cinematic, ambient pop, and experimental folktronica. It would examine the themes of love and mortality.

Starship Ponyville: Promise Complex 

A direct continuation that bridges the events of Homeward, Fairytails, and Fish Whisperer, concluding the Satyrn trilogy of Starship Ponyville albums. Like its prequels, it would be primarily space rock, electronic, and cinematic focused genres.  

The Great Adventure: Gleam 

The album that comes after Promise Complex, following the story of Io Adore the Kobold, Turtle the Changeling, and their band of space pirates. The genre focus would entail mostly cinematic electronic, dnb/neuro, and rock (with lots of middle eastern and jewish music influences); the story would examine themes of anti-imperialism and the ethics of war and assassination 

Petrichor 

This is also set in SSPV, but focused primarily back in Equestria during the early years of the formation of the New Equestrian Galactic Commonwealth. It is a cyberpunk romantic comedy adventure story that follows Sunburst and Stygian (who is half-posessed by their dark shadow "Petrichor"). The genres would likely consist of electro rock / r&b / and [synth]pop (edited)
