My believer profile

As some of you know the cd release party for Gandillion is this friday.
Ofcource I understand that it's a bit too far to come and party with us. So I've arranged that I can give my sellaband believers a small discount.
The cd will cost 17,99 euro in stores (I like the amount of 10$ here on sellaband but I'm not the one who sets the price) and I can offer it to you for 15,- euro. The cd contains 13 songs and is 73 minutes long.
More info will come on how to order the cd.
For people who can't wait, you can get the cd at our release party this friday for 15,- euro's too.
Tickets are available at: www.hetkasteel.nl
Sarah's Smile.....
For Sarah's Smile I'm on a quest for a producer. I've written a lot of great songs lately and Im really frustrated that I haven't been able to record some decent versions of the songs. In my oppinion the songs are awesome!! But they can be even more awesome if they where complete within a bandsetting. I've put the titels of the songs that are finished on the info page so you all can see what I've been working on lately.
Trust me when I say; "2008 is the year when Sarah will be Smiling".

I've made te very cool new website for Sarah's Smile.
Please take a minute to take a look. I love to hear what you all think of it, and what you miss on the website. You can sign my new guestbook;-).
As soon as my cold is gone I will record the vocals for "changes are coming". The piano has become awesome!
As I told in the preveous message, the next two songs are almost ready to be recorded too!
15-01-08
Hey everyone!
How are you all doing?
Today the piano will be recorded for "Changes are Coming".
Unfortunatly I have a terrible cold, so I will record the vocals as soon as my cold is gone.
I've uploaded two new song which I've recorded for my school. You can find them on my myspace. An animation video has been made for one of the song which you view at youtube: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvit5ocSMOo
The next song is ready to be recorded too! The song is called "For life". The song is about my relationship with my boyfriend.
06-12-07
I've recorded my first own written song with my webcam at home. I wanted you to be able to hear what I'm doing at the moment. The song is called "Changes are coming" Because of all the change lately, but that doesn't mean they are negative. You can find the song at the video section.
Hopefully I can record the studio version soon. A pianist will record the piano for the song, 'cause I'm no piano player. I'm only playing paino for a month or so;-).
Have fun and please let me know what you think.
25-11-07
Last saturday I've recorded three songs for Gandillion, and this thursday, friday and saturday I will record some more.
This tuesday I'm going to record two song for my band at school, and on wednesday I'm going to present my firts own written song called "Changes are coming" in my songwritinglesson at school.
I've found a pianist at who will record the piano for this song, hopefully I have the time to record the vocals next weekend, so I can present it to you.
Have a great week you all!
09-11-07
Yesterday I had a recording session for Gandillion and it went great!
Only 10 more songs to go.
I can't wait untill the cd is finished and released.
The same for my sella-cd, I can't wait to make my own written album. That's going to be a dream coming true.
07-11-07
After my last post, I have had the question if it is wise to kep your parts in Sarah's Smile. I just wanna say, ofcource! I can really use your support and opinions about my own written music. That meens the world to me.
I fully understand if you want to withdraw your parts because of the change. That is the risk by making this dissision. We're still good friends:-).
06-11-07
Hey, all of you wonderfull believers! How are you doing?
It has been a few crazy weeks for me, and they are not over yet.
As I told some of you, my songwriter is very busy at the moment with his own songs. So unfortunatly there is still no recorded second song. I do have got vocallines and lyrics for probably 3 more songs, but it would be nice to have some music with it.
I’m taking songwriting lessons at school and I’m going to take pianolessons, so that I will not have to depent on other people when I want to write a song. It is going quite well with the pianoplaying.
I have noticed that some of you have withdawn a few parts. I fully understand this, because of the waiting for the next song. I have to say it is not my intention to get the 50k as soon as possible. I want to give you the oppotunity to take this journey with me too. Through my lyrics and music I will tell you the story of discovering yourself. Because that is what is happning in my live.
This journey will take more than just a month. I’m not an artist who want to be on sellaband just for the cd. I love the concept of sellaband and I love meeting people and sharing stories.
Some more big news!
Maybe I’m going to tell you something right now you wouldn’t suspect. I’m the new singer of the band called Gandillion. This is a prog metal band from the Netherlands. The reason why I chosed to be with this band is because they have a lot op opportunities open for me. They want to release their full album in december. This means there will be al full album available with me on it!!
And there will be a promo tour in 2008 through the Netherlands and some other countries in Europe. Maybe I can even meet some of you! That would be great!
This thursday I’m going to record teh firts song for Gandillion called “Fuel for her rockets”. You can listen to it on the Gandillion myspace next week. I will sent you the url.
What does this mean for Sarah’s Smile?
There will be a few changes concerning Sarah’s Smile that I really though well about. I made these changes because this is gonna work out for the best, for me and other people who were involved with Sarah’s Smile. I definatly will continue with Sarah’s Smile!
It was very hard to find the right musicians and I still hadn’t found the sutable pianist. This was very frustrating, and the musicians I did found were waiting and waiting untill I had found a pianist. This was putting some presure on me, while I was stopping myself from evolving and getting closer to my goals.
This all is why I decided to keep Sarah’s Smile an accoustic singer songwriter project. I’m going to write the songs for myself, and develope myself as a songwriter.
Thank you for understanding my great friends.

I am working on a couple of songs to be honnest. As soon as I'm am conviced one of the songs is completely finished I will upload it.
We are still expirimenting with the sound of the songs, but I can already say that the atmophere will be likewise to Running Away.
This is still a band in progress and there is a lot to be done.
But once we wil reach the 50k, our cd will be awesome, even if we haven't been able to find the right musicians.
Thank you all for your trust and believe.....
11-09-07

I'm really sorry that I can not offer you any free stuff at the moment. You can all download Running Away at our myspace so you can enjoy it more often. I'll keep you informed!!
09-09-07
Yeah!!!! I'm back!!! I've really missed Sellaband.
The firts song you can listen to is called Running Away. I've written it with a great musician at my school. His name is Reitse Giesbers.
You are listening to a piano version of the song, but a bandversion is on it's way. I can not promise you when unfortunatly.
The webbuilder is still working on the Sarah's Smile website, so that is soon to come!
Thank you all for keep believing in me and for checking our my new band.
It takes a long time for putting up a new (great!) band, but I will promise you, it's gonna be great!
I can understand you might have some doubts because the band is not complete yet. But please don't worry about that. I have a lot of great musicians in my contactlist, who would love to help me out when nessasary.
If you have any question please aks.

Sarah`s Smile is the band of former elleanore-singer joyce. and she still has that voice of an angel. Supported with some other musicians she will rock again as never before. $1730 in 1 minute , $4500 in 1 day, over $ 7000 in 3 days |

Joyce Dijkgraaf is back!!! I was very pleasantly surprised when Joyce sent me the first version of "Running Away" as a birthday gift at Aug 13th. I am proud to be the first fan you have ever heard that beautiful song and also proud to be the first believer of Sarah's Smile. |
