Its official: You can add two new independent films to the list accolades.

Writer/Director Cynthia Santos will begin filming "Roommate Wanted" this month (thru October) in Texas and will be using material from the new record. It's not certain how much music will appear in the film but at least one song will have a prominent spot in what was described as a "crucial scene".

Local Writer/Director Daniel Williston will also be featuring music from LT in his new film "Send in the Clowns" (working title). The film is said to be a dark thriller revolving around a one-sided relationship. Filming began last week and production is thought to continue through August.

I'll keep you posted. Thanks for listening.

Today was a great day for some press. I spent most of the day talking with radio and confirming details with newspapers. I don't know why so much landed on this Friday and not 2 weeks ago or before? ..but it felt nice regardless. I have posted one of the first reviews I have received thus far below. Enjoy.

"LUNARTHEORY - FAMILIAR STORIES" - Fraser Wareham (Album Groove)

"LunarTheory - Familiar Stories" are the resulting reflections of Jared Robinson's fall through the looking glass. Here the lines between reality and fantasy have been dissolved into mere threads of consciousness. This music is definitely heavy without the weight. Jared has true brilliance in mastering storytelling and outlines the darkness of fairytales with a gleam of light shining through. These tales will take you deep into the enchanted woods, whereupon a twig snaps behind you forcing you to slowly turn around. The bread crumbs, left for guidance are gone. You are truly alone.

The effect emanating from this CD, which is arranged, produced and performed by Jared Robinson, is an onslaught for your senses. It will touch you, encapsulate you with its visual impact as you will see the sounds and feel the emotion. The descriptive feel to Jared's procreation is not by accident, as his intentions are to reach the movie industry writing for film. On his CD formatted to resemble an old fairytale book, Jared has Chapters One and Two, One being self described as "Industrial Pop' while Two is mostly comprised of "instrumental orchestral tracks". The first song from Chapter Two, "Red Hood" was written for the independent film "A Girl in Red" and the fifth song in Chapter Two, "A Kiss For A Curse" was written for the independent film "Season Of Dreams".

My favorite song in Chapter Two is "Acorn", which whispers rain against windowpanes gently into my peripheral audio senses. Chapter One's "Beautiful Dark Dreams" gets my nod while Jared has a definite fondness for "The Thimble" and its tale of ultimate sacrifice. Hear Jared's vocal fuse with the instrumentation so seamlessly. Lyrically these songs appear so simplistic yet as with Lake Baikal, the shimmer on the surface masks the cold depths lurking below.

This CD is complimented with the DVD for "You Talk of Angels". I feel the video has a strong visual correlation to the lyric and full-bodied sound. Though I am confident this song was not written for such goals, it and the video would do well on the charts. Check it out yourself at www.ibelieveinfairytales.ca or www.myspace.com/lunartheory or even on FaceBook and trust me, if you like what you hear, see and feel, you will want the original unique copy of Lunar Theory Familiar Stories for your bookshelf………er…..CD collection.

Hey friends.
Just a little news about some local radio opportunities:

LunarTheory was featured on CHAB's Sask Spotlight this week. If you missed that, you'll still be able to check out "The Next Big Thing" on Regina's Z99 next Friday (June 6th). I'll try to keep you posted. Feel free to request "LunarTheory" as much as you like. ;)

Hope you like it.

The LunarTheory store should be up and running shortly. I hope you are loving the new record so far.

Thank you for being patient with me. All I can hope is that the album will be worth the wait. I had a lot of fun putting this one together.

The album features 12 tracks (I'll list them below) and a DVD with the video for "You Talk of Angels". The 12 tracks are split into "Chapter 1" and "Chapter 2". Each chapter focuses on a different (but equally important) brand of music that tells a dark version of some famous classic tales. I hope you love it.

I hope to hear from you all soon. ;)

Jared

As usual, I had over-booked the studio and ended up helping other artists before I helped myself. All I can tell you is that I am working as hard as I can to complete the project. I will send updates as we go. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I have enjoyed creating it.

I hope you all get a chance to watch the new video for "You Talk of Angels". It was directed by Micah Robinson and will be included with the new album in Feb. Until then...I hope you enjoy the new pics and the new layout.

Jared
