A Thousand Words – new documentary series by Jay Lamm

Good news, folks. Cea Serin’s Jay Lamm has a new documentary series debuting on YouTube called “A Thousand Words.” It’s a weekly show that takes 51 of the world’s most iconic images and tells their story…in about a thousand words. This project was several years in the making since Jay wanted to make sure everything was written, filmed, and edited before the first video ever dropped.

And this is a year-long project running through 2024, starting on Jan. 6th.

Even though Cea Serin is rounding out the ending phase of their third album, Jay Lamm took up photography and for the past 5 years has been working as a freelance photographer. Below are some examples of his work.

You can visit his photography website here.

Please visit the “A Thousand Words” YouTube channel to view the first “intro” video which introduces the audience to the series. While there, please like, subscribe, and even leave a little comment to help me out with that ole YouTube algorithm.

The first episode will be on Neil Armstrong in the EVA as taken by Buzz Aldrin. Other shows will focus on such historic images like the Cottingly Fairies, Richard Avedon’s Beekeeper, Workers by Sebastiao Salgado, Fan Ho, Jill Greenberg, Robert Capa, Annie Leibovitz, the Event Horizon Telescope, and there will even be an episode devoted to the album covers of Abbey Road and Dawn of the Black Hearts.

The first episode drops on January 6th at 11am (CST) and a new episode will premier each following Saturday throughout 2024.

Album progress and 360 degree tour of studio

Things have been quiet for a while but here’s a little update on the recording process for the new album.  All the rhythm guitars, bass, and keyboards are wrapped up.  We’re waiting till summer wraps up so we can start recording drums and finalize things with lead guitars.
Till then, here’s a little 360 degree tour of the working studio space as well as a look at some of the guitars/basses I used on the album.

The World Outside – working song titles and song lengths

As many of you may know, the new album is actively being worked on.  Rhythm guitars are currently being tracked and all is going well in the world.
Speaking of the world–and as stated in the liner notes of the previous album–the album title for the new Cea Serin will be The World Outside.  It’s an album title I’ve had in mind for quite some time and I’m eager to share it with everyone because I believe it’s the best thing material the band has to offer.  By that, I mean, this is going to be our Slaughter of the Soul or our Images and Words album.

So let’s talk about the song names and song lengths to get an inkling of what this batch will be about.

New Cea Serin – now available on iTunes!

itunes

Attention:  the new Cea Serin album is now available on iTunes.

We live in some weird times, folks.  The music industry is in a huge state of flux and it’s hard to tell what is going to work and not work in this business.  One thing is for sure, if a band gets signed to a label, they need to make a strong showing in sales in order for them to release a new album.

I understand that a lot of people don’t buy physical CDs anymore.  That’s understandable.  Digital downloads make things a lot easier.

So, if you’re one of those people that want to easily pick up the newest progressive metal offering of Cea Serin then look no further:  It’s now available on iTunes for a low low price.

That’s right, for the price of lunch you can buy the new Cea Serin, “The Vibrant Sound of Bliss and Decay.”

Buying our albums helps establish us as a viable entity that record labels can rely on to recoup their investment in us.
