Year in Review 2022

12/31/2022

0 Comments

 
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.

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

BlueDorian Q1 Review

3/27/2022

0 Comments

 
2022 begins with a bang, and an ambitious set of goals for all branches of #BlueDorian’s production department...
Picture
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.)
Picture
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.
Picture
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

Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall...

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.
