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--
Travel safe, - TeamBD

 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  source: facebook.com/ngatestudio We're really excited to be working on our latest project—a minute-long, fully-orchestrated, symphonic theme from our very own “Faerworld: Daughters of Time”—with Tim Bongiovanni, at Northgate Studios. Tim combines a resume you’d expect to find deep in the heart of an industrial hub such as Nashville or Los Angeles, with the kind of personal touch and attention to detail that is the hallmark of New England’s privately owned, privately run studios. The piece, created and scored by Adam Farouk, used Sibelius Ultimate software for notation, and was produced using MOTU Digital Performer, with top-quality audio samples overlaid with acoustic symphonic instruments: violin; french horn; and trumpet; specifically. The first ebook in the Faerworld: Daughters of Time series is available for purchase at the BlueDorian store.

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.
