What's in a Name?

I think June has briefly mentioned this in her blog, and she's urged me to expound on this, so here I am. :)

In line with our music making goals, June and I have formed a productions company by the name of Jenesis Creatives.

The word Jenesis is a variation of Genesis (pronounced the same way), the beginning of all things. June's name starts with J and my name starts with J, so we decided to replace G with J.

But why Genesis of all names?

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness." (Gen 1:1-4, NKJV)

I remember Dr A. R. Bernard said that this was an illustration of a sinner being saved. The sinner is like the earth, without form and in darkness, and the Spirit of God hovers over the sinner. When the sinner received salvation, God gave the Word and light came into the sinner life, and a new being was created, and separated from the darkness into His light.

This is how we would like our music to be also, to bring light into the darkness, and illuminate the lives of the many lost ones out there. We want to change the musical world with a new breed of songs, to showcase God's creative power through these new songs, and eventually to give God all the glory and honour. :)

I'm not talking about creating new songs in the current genres, I'm talking about new genres of songs. Songs people would not know how to classify. Songs that stand out from other formats.

Why Creatives then?

Creatives stands for the creative nature of the songs, and the creative nature of God. When put together with Jenesis, the acronym formed is JC, the acronym for our Lord Jesus Christ. :)

So you have it, Jenesis Creatives. :)

Our current plans as as follows:
1 - Release Jenesis Creatives website on 7th July 2007 (777, the number for God)
2 - Release album single on 7th July 2007
3 - Release album on 8th Aug 2008 (888, the number for Jesus)

The album single is tentatively titled: "Remember Me" (keke, subconscious programming)
And for the album, it'll be made up of stories, ideas from Genesis (without direct references)

Alrighty, that's all for now. Stay in tune! :)

The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever - do not abandon the works of your hands. (Ps 138:8, NIV)
