Salutations! In contrast with 2021, this year proved heavy on behind the scenes work and lighter on actual tangible releases. Not that we’re complaining; in part due to this 2022 was without doubt one of the most fulfilling and overall creatively expansive periods in recent years. As always we send a huge *THANK YOU* to our followers/supporters; in the oversaturated entertainment landscape that exists today we know how difficult it is to seek out independent art, let alone find the time and impetus to give it attention, so please know that your efforts are appreciated, in fact, there’s little that we do that isn’t in some way affected by your choice to support scratch creativity. Here is the year-end summary of 2022 #BlueDorian publications and releases. If you didn’t get to check them out the first time, here they are, all in one place. Music
(Available at the BlueDorian Store in conjunction with bandcamp.com. Adam Farouk - A PLACE TO BE (Rough Cuts version) (SINGLE) Adam Farouk - LITTLE RAY OF SUNSHINE (SINGLE) Adam Farouk Orchestra 2014 REINSTALLED (Live @ Inner Space, Brookline) (EP)
AFO 2014 features the talents of: Adam Farouk (guitar, vocals); Elizabeth Lorrey (guitar, vocals); Nate Leavitt (guitar, vocals); Tom Appleman (bass guitar, vocals) Projects Production on "Songs from Continuity" nears its conclusion, with only two production sorties left on the docket (well, technically, one and two halves, but we'll call it two). With only one casting change, one instrumentalist substitution, and a minor tempo dispute, we can safely say this has been one of the smoothest production periods TeamBD has ever experienced (fingers crossed!) Next year we'll look forward to a invigorating and fulfilling post-production phase. Here's a final cast list: CAST: David Thorne Scott - JOE Valerie Larsen - CALLIE Elizabeth Lorrey - NURSE ANNE Renée Dupuis - NURSE LAURA Anthony Rodriguez - NORMAL MATT Michael Kassatly - CONNOR Connor Smith - EDDIE Andrew Goldin - ORDERLY Adam Farouk - ORDERLY ORCHESTRA: Adam Farouk - Keyboards Matt Jenson - Keyboards Elizabeth Lorrey - Guitars Dave Lieb - Guitars Masa Takahashi - Guitars Steve Latanision - Mandolin Felicia Brady-Lopez - Accordion Tim Reppert - Bass Guitar Jeff Berlin - Drums, Percussion For more information on each company member visit: adamfaroukorchestra.com From all of us at BlueDorian, very warmest wishes for a happy, healthy holiday season!

2022 begins with a bang, and an ambitious set of goals for all branches of #BlueDorian’s production department...  Daughters of Time Season One careens headlong towards its inevitable conclusion, which sees a final and dramatic confrontation between the forces of light and darkness. Will Gwen and her team of neophytes be vanquished, or will they defy the odds and stand victorious over Arcturus and his mighty legions? (Two new ebooks are in the works: Episodes 11, and 12. Catch them at the BlueDorian Store.)  On the music front, three new releases are set to hit the shelves in Q2, beginning with a Rough Cuts version of Adam Farouk’s very first ever original song: “A Place to Be” (1996), produced and recorded by Pierre Grill at Rendez-Vous Recording, Honolulu HI, followed by “Little Ray of Sunshine,” a radio-edit version, performed by Adam Farouk, of the de facto “title track” of last year’s concept album release, “Ray of Sunshine,” produced by Anthony J. Resta, and recorded by Karyadi Sutedja at Studio Bopnique, in Burbank, CA; an EP of five live tracks by the Adam Farouk Orchestra, taken from “AFO 2017: Live at The Nines” Sessions, recorded at The Nines Art Gallery in Harwich Port MA, rounds out the trio.  The MAJOR WORK for this year is a ten-song concept album based on material from the Adam Farouk rock opera “Continuity.” Continuity is a story that delves into the world of mental illness, as well as the types of tools and mettle required to either overcome, or else accept and learn to live with it. Over the past three months we've gathered a stellar cast of performers, be they vocalists or instrumentalists (listed below, with links) from far and wide, and we look forward to sharing clips and stories as we go along. CAST: (Role) David Thorne Scott (Joe) Valerie Larsen (Callie) Elizabeth Lorrey (Nurse Anne) Renée Dupuis (Nurse Laura) Anthony Rodriguez (Normal Matt) George Hoffman (Eddie) Michael Kassatly (Connor) ORCHESTRA: Adam Farouk: Keyboards, Synths Elizabeth Lorrey: Guitars Dave Lieb: Guitars Masa Takahashi: Guitars Tim Reppert: Bass guitar Jeff Berlin: Drums, Percussion So keep your ears to the ground, and your voices held high as you *spread the word* for next season’s upcoming BlueDorian events. Sending you warmest wishes for the very sunniest of sunny days--

 Daughters of Time closes out the year with five books released and more on the way. It’s been an absolute thrill to put these tales together for everyone, and I still marvel at what options we possess at our disposal to communicate these stories to you all. I can’t help but be transported back to my time growing up, learning the basics of “Krell Logo” on an Apple II. If you had told me then that there’d be the ability to interact with, to share with, and to impact people halfway around the world with real-time ease, well, I may not have grasped the significance of that as an eight-year-old, but if I had, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have believed you, at least not at first. Even to be told ten years ago that any, if not all, of the technological, communication, and software advances that presuppose the publishing of our ebook collection—Vellum software, 99Designs.com, Wordfortheweb, Zoom—would have widespread ubiquitous use would likely elicit a snortle of irony rather than immediate belief (“Sure, I’ll keep my myspace page running just in case!”) We continue to be amazed and grateful for these opportunities to participate in the world song, and we hope we can have a positive impact on the people we come across along the way! “I will to love and protect this fair world - Daughters of Time Oath of Fealty (excerpt) from Istoricus Marinicus, Thomas Easton Faerworld ebooks are available for sale at the BlueDorian Store: shop.bluedorian.com  Hello friends! As the days grow darker it may become all too easy to slip into modes of despair. But nay, don't let the seasonal affectives get the better of you. Instead, make a date with your eReader of choice, and curl up on the couch in front of the 'ole firetube with a good eBook. And while we're on the subject, why not check out "Daughters of Time: Princess"--the first volume in the breathtaking new series "Faerworld: Daughters of Time" from Nawherman Publishing in conjunction with BlueDorian Media Entertainment. An epic fantasy adventure, filled with equal parts magic, moxie, and mystery, "Faerworld: Daughters of Time" is sure to capture your imagination, awaken your sense of wonder, and chase all the blues away. Available this December 12th, at bluedorian.com.
 First week stuck into BDW3 and all is starting to feel like home. Have more or less stopped shrieking when we don’t see the “borrowed” pictured of whatshername masquerading as one of ours upon clicking to “bluedorian.wpengine.com”. But there are still a couple of kinks to iron out, specifically Ray Davies, ‘cause, as we all know, if your going to iron out a kink, might as well all have it be a well respected man. While where at it, we should really reengage our apostrophix—did we mention we have a robot helping us determine weather to write whether or wether and otherwise aide in other common spelling misnomers? She’s on loan from Elon Musk.
-Team BDW3  Seems like just yesterday that we unveiled BlueDorianWeb2013. Indeed, we’ve now not only checked out but have found ourselves a new and happy home in BDW3. Welcome! We’re in the process of creating a comprehensive BDW3 portal for all fellow creators out there, yes, with the latest skinny on current projects along the pipeline, but also with an eye towards a true-blue built-in BDW3 store so that your independent media experience can be both robust and gainful. We want to express our continued gratitute for you, our growing community, with whom, very little of this would have meaning. Thank you.
-Team BDW3 |
