Once upon a time, in the early days of the fandom when Equestria Daily was a simple little aggregate site trying to hold onto the little scraps of the burgeoning Friendship is Magic community, a young man named PK began to pen a story named Antipodes. A tale of a dystopian future in which Celestia and Luna have vanished and the sky exists in chaotic disarray, the adventure was one of the very first fanfics to resonate with its readers on an appreciable scale. With its striking cover image and promise of adventure, Antipodes captured the imagination of many early readers, inspiring some of them to create their own works.
Inspiration, as it turns out, takes many forms. Enter aspiring composer MindKog. Over the course of the past year, he has labored to take the chapters and events of Antipodes and turn them into something that could resonate in a new way. This music is largely atmospheric and orchestral, covering a large swath of musical space and mood, and giving enough different feelings throughout that just about anybody who's interested in instrumental work should find something to like here. Personally, I think it's a good set of tunes to write by.
