Blah Blah

I seem to have failed again at finishing something productive yesterday. I can hear the music but then sometimes when i come back to it it's like what was i thinking. This sounds HORRIBLE... anyway... guess that just means i need to pick myself up and try again :) Started working some more on the choral piece. I love the human voice i have a lot of ideas i want to use but i'm not sure whether or not i'll finish this piece in time for my friends concert. even if i can i need to make the parts easy enough to be learned by the end of this month... OH CRAP!!! i don;t have very much time. I need to do this. well i need to get off of here so i can take a quick shower and be on my way. should see you all soon with some music :D Power to the language of love :) OH and i finally have a mac...i mean it's "ancient" Ibook G4 1.2 gHz, 256mb of RAM (upgradeable to 1.25gb) 27gb of actual memory space, and running OSX 10.4.11 using Garageband 2.0.2 haha. I really miss Logic lol. One day soon. if anyone knows of any jobs lemme know :)

BLIG BLAHG!!! lol

I'm listening to the beautiful Jane Lui right now. Illusionist Boy. i love her voice just so peaceful :) Not much new to blog on other than the fact that i haven't started on my piece yet... I'm a bad person lol. I'll get this show going. It's not going to be a super long piece. There will be recurring themes so it's all good... I can't wait to start working on it though. I still have a couple more weeks lol. Then i can tweak as much as i want. As long as i have well structured skeleton with muscles and ligaments i can put the skin and hair on as we go lol. :) Well i guess I'm off lol. I guess you can say i have a little crush on Jane Lui haha no idea whether there is someone in her life lol so I'm good haha. It may just be her voice but whatever lol. Oh and i'm closer to getting my mic :D

ARRGH ME MATEYS!!!

Ok so last night i went to bed around 9:15 hence why no blog. was doing stuff up until then. I was going to bed in order to wake up earlier :) I did but not as early as i had expected to. I have been waking up around 11 11:45 ish going to bed around you know anywhere from 2 in the morning to 4 lol. So i assumed that i would wake up closer to 6 8 ish... no.... i woke up at !):#)... this < is what happens when you try to cap numbers lol if you can decode that i woke up at 10:30!!!!!!! I slept for over 13 hours after going to bed early... not cool Anyway lol. Music stuff is going well i'm building bar chord stamina. Learned a new song yesterday for worship and it is comprised of the same 4 chords... C#m A E and F#m C#m and F#m are both bar chords but to make transitioning easier (or so i thought) i play barchord A which is one fret from C#m as opposed to a 3 fret leap (not that big a deal just like bar A more in terms of sound) so three barchords i'm basically repeating over and over again lol for like a good 5 8 minutes lol. a long way to say that my hand was HURTING!!! halfway through lol. I know you don't care but i'm used to bar chords that much lol. A lesson in stamina. Still waiting for that mic :) and oh boy is that day going to be sweet :D. Well have a good night all. Oh and i still need to work on my choral piece. still not sure what i want to do though... Lots of inspiration though from Stroope's setting of I Am Not Yours by Sara Teasdale... SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PIECE!!!

Time for a change

Well my sleeping habits still leave a lot to be desired... That is going to change soon. Don't really have much to write tonight. I am slowly beginning to grow in my music again. :) I need to start working on a piece that i'm supposed to have debut in a concert coming up. I LOVE choral music. So i can't wait to start classes at Citrus this fall. I look forward to getting a jump on this recording deal and getting back to APU soon. I realized that i'll probably go with that bible minor considering i can get it done in the same amount of time as my degree would take. not staying a semester longer than needed lol TOO expensive haha. But yeah we'll see. I know that i'll eventually lead worship somewhere when the time is right. Well seeing as i would like to sleep i'm going to go now and i guess as i write more music i'll write about that and my inspiration. Maybe one day when i actually have some content worth reading lol I can make a book out of this blog. Still can't wait to get my mic. Once i get gigs and start learning about the trade of audio engineering i'll have A LOT more to write about. I'm considering changing my major to theory or composing or the likes if it'll get me out sooner lol. But i'll probably just stick with my beloved music ed degree :). Night all

It's been a while

It's 1:46 in the morning and i'm still awake. I'll start going to bed earlier soon. But i'm listening to choir music right now on youtube and i found a piece by Z. Randall Stroope. Absolutely beautiful piece "I Am Not Yours". Stroope is a wonderful composer and he is one of my influences. I love choral music. I love the music that can be made with an instrument that is a part of us. No other instrument has it's intimacy and intricacies. The voice is such an amazing instrument and a gift to us all. There isn't much more to say tonight other than music heals and right now i need some healing and God is working in me. I want to make music that speaks to something in you and calls forth life. No matter what i may be talking about. I love you all have a wonderful evening and keep each other in your prayers. :)

Ello

I figured out the issues i was having with my stuff saturday :) That made me happy. Today was kind of a slow day for me. I woke up kinda late so not much got accomplished. But i'm going to start going to bed before the next day starts lol. I should eventually get to where i can go to bed at 10 no problem or 9 and wake up at 5. Need ta make some cash to pay off these loans and get my mic in my hands :) And so i can be less of a financial burden on folks.

I still feel like a little kid sometimes. I guess it's because i surround myself with people older than me or people who are moving forward and maturing. Not much really to say here. But regardless of whether i join the military or not i need to get disciplined otherwise my music will never reach where i know it can, should, and God wants it to go. That's part of what this bed deal is about. I need to change the way i eat... I have an addiction to sugar and carbs. Well sorry i missed sunday's blog. Not that many people are reading this yet maybe one person. But still this is the only physically consistent thing in my personal life right now lol. Kinda sad huh. but still i'll get my act to together. Night people.

These Are the blogs that got all ????DO!!@??#***?#F#OF: ed lol

So... Marissa no i was not drunk... lol although i did almost buy a beer. Decided against it haha. Here is what was supposed to have been said those nights.

ok i'm late night bloggin proly gunna sleep forever tomorrow lol. Sorry my las few blogs were crap lol. The text thing doesn't work when i send 7 texts as on lol. Technology can be so finicky sometimes lol. Well new news. I now have an interface. My home recording studio is slowly being built and growing. Right now it looks as though i'll be buying all of my components like paying of that mic and buying a preamp and what not before i get a comp. so 2 mics a dynamic and a condenser, an interface, and a preamp will be the beginnings of my setup.

Right now i'm listening to Jane Lui and staying up way to friggin late but listening to Jane makes it ok lol :P. I've made some major progress on my songs. My buddy Jonathan Lord gave me some songwriting tools that he learned in a songwriting class he took :) GOOD stuff man. I'm almost done with two that i've been "working" on for a while now lol. I love my little M-audio Mobile Pre. I got it for 50 bucks. my eyes are so heavy. I was foing so well going to bed on time lol. I really want to run face first into my girlfriend lol. wherever she may be may her lips be longing for mine lol for mine long for hers... ok enough of the mushy stuff wouldn't want you up-chuckin on your keyboard. Jane Lui so pleasant lol :D i want her album. I need money so i can support her. I can't wait for Take Me For Now to be done. well i'm up way too late about to be up later... lol Nate just walked in like 2minutes ago. listening to something he worked on today.

Oh I got to record on my buddy Brian Svehaug's album. I'm the whistle on one of his tracks :) on my way to being a pro whistler. :D well i'm tired and have nothing else to say i guess lol. I look forward to recording more and making good music that i love and people who love real music will love :) love you all. And honey, wherever you are know you're in my arms every night of my life :)

If you saw a panda...

Lookies like ima be raomin round for the week or so. goin to vegas with the fam will proly be away from a computer for a couple of days :( but hey i need it lol. I just set it up so i can blog via my phone. my thumbs will be quite tired lol. Still tryna make that green :P lol. i WANT THAT MIC IN MY HANDS!!!! :D

right now i'm a little frustrated lol. I'm trying to get my keyboard working in Ableton but it ain't workin. I need to get it working lol. so i can hear a bit better what one of my covers is going to potentially sound like. Albeit it's gunna be crappy lol because of the midi instruments but i'll be able to get the sounds worked out more clearly lol. I really like saying lol. Every other word seems to be lol.

Well i'm off to make this keyboard work and get some sleep :) love you all thanks for reading.

... would you give him a hug or feed him bamboo? :P

ok Short and too the point

Ok. So not much happened today. Tried to work on some music and some of a song finished lol. Mostly just wasted time today which isn't good. I have a lot to think about and need to finish these songs so that i can perform them at this open mic next week. Literally a week away so i need to get busy. Well to all have a good night/ morning and i'll get bettter at writing more. I'm over the three day hump so this should hopefully stay pretty consisitent. When i get everything i need to record and put vids up on youtube i plan to do at least one a week. Do one i want every week and the do a song that has been requested every other week or whatever. whichever happens happens lol :) goodnite all.

Day 2 Recording discoveries

So I just remembered that i had ableton live lite 5. So i decided to crak it out and see what it's about lol. Turns out i was eligible for an update to live lite 8 :D score. So now i don't have to mess around with poopy FL Studio. Although it may turn out that FL was better i don't know it was a dmeo so i didn't waste my time figuring my way through it.

Now i have live lite 8. let's see what this puppy can do. All that's left now is to get an interface some ram and a mic... well i have a mic lol. 2... ones the mic from my xbox ROFL and the other is my AT DR-VX1 mic or somethin or other. Standard dynamic. haven't heard it hope it sounds good :) I found a Shure KSM32 at a pawn shop by my house. They have it shockmount and all for 169!!! OMG i think it comes with a case but yeah if anyone has any odd jobs for me i'll do them!!! I WANT THAT MIC!!!! Well thanks for reading tonite edition of the Songster Scribblins. :)

I really hope that this blog kinda takes off like it did for Julia lol in Julie and Julia only instead i end up becoming a musician... lol which is going to happen anyway regardless of how well this blog does lol. Oh and i really enjoy Jane Lui's voice and music. Southern Winds got me hooked on Jane lol such a pretty song. you should check it out like NOW!!!

AHHGGH i feel like ants are crawling on me... ugh!
