Cerulean Jade Update: 09-29-2012

I took the above picture a couple weeks ago.  It's of the Payphone cover song Steven and I did, and I still find this hilarious.  666 views with 13 likes?  Crazy.

Our next cover song "Someone like you" from Adele is on track.  Steven's finished arranging the chorus and verses, and has the bridge left, which is super close.  Our goal is to record early next week, which means the song will be online by the end of the week, at the latest!!  We've decided the video is going to be super simple, as in I'm going to sing the song in one take with myself singing to the camera.  Good ol' non-complicated cover style.  The effect will be an emotionally raw video, which works well with the song . . . and the fact that it will help us get the song up sooner is a plus!

Steven and I have also discussed putting up the instrumental/karaoke videos of the songs we do.  So we'll soon be getting the instrumentals of our original song "Dream Maze," and cover songs "Payphone" and "Someone like you" up as well, so you can hear Steven's amazing arrangements :0)

More fun stuff in the works!  And our studio is soooooooooo close to finishing!!  Carpet in, electrical almost done, etc.  I can't wait to play with the green screen.

C-Jade Update: 09-07-2012

C-Jade, aka Cerulean Jade, is a fun shorten version of our name.  I don't know if it will stick professionaly, but on this blog I'll use this shorten version from time to time.

Ah!  So I know what I've said in regards to what Steven and I are working on, and we still are working on those things, but we're also working on a new cover that's taken over.  Adele's "Someone Like You."  It was a special request from a friend of mine, and it's a song we talked about doing before, so we started working on it.  The sounds Steven's coming up with for the arrangement is really cool.

The Studio is progressing nicely, and I can't wait for it to be finished!  My brothers and I will be having a whole lot of fun, and we have so many things planned, in and out of music.  We're geeks.  Expect geeky things:0)

And I know I reported earlier that Steven and I will be releasing an online graphic novel before my youngest brother returns from his mission, but we decided to include Robbie in more of the process.  I've changed so many things, so many characters, and plot lines, that I want him to be okay with what I've been developing before it becomes Cannon.  I hope he likes what I've done, because I'm having so much fun creating these people, places, systems, culture, plots, etc.  And Steven wants more time developing the art and style of the place.  We decided its best to push back when we're releasing the graphic novel in order to have a more solid, deep, interesting World.

I'm not going to release dates.  Anything's possible.  Instead I'm going to do more of a show and tell approach with pictures and so forth on the Cerulean Jade Facebook fan page.  That will work better.  I'm still learning.

Have a great day!
