Hey guys,
In the past, Ponies at Dawn have released 8 albums with an incredible variety of music, and we’re not planning on stopping anytime soon. We’re proud to announce that we’re opening for submissions for our next album - Voyager.
After the multitude of successes we had last year, we managed to start 2016 in style with the release of our 7th and biggest yet compilation, Awakening. Full to the brim with quality tracks from all over the fandom, it was arguably our best album yet. However, we’re far from finished this year, and we’re keen to see if we can make this second major album of the year hold itself to the standards set by Awakening, if not eclipse them!
As usual, the money made by the album from donations on BandCamp will go towards the artists who make it onto the album, as thanks for the hard work put in to make the album a reality. The the album will be under the ‘pay what you want’ model, so that those who don’t wish to pay for it don’t have to. We believe that the most important part of these albums, is getting artists’ music out to as many different listeners as possible.

The theme for this album, as the name might help suggest, is exploration or adventure. We don’t necessarily mean in terms of trying a completely different type of music compared to what you normally make, though that’s certainly something you’re welcome to do. We encourage people to think outside the box if they think they can make something cool and different that still sounds great, but the theme here really means that we want your music to conjure up the ideas of going on an adventure to distant lands, maybe exploring a cave deep beneath the earth - the kind of thing that might get Daring Do hyped up and excited.
Does your music have to fit the theme? Because it’s such an arbitrary theme, we’re definitely not going to penalise people for not following it. This is just an initial idea to help get the creative ideas coming, and it’s very difficult to tell what does and doesn’t fit a theme considering how subjective the interpretation can be.
