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

My day today

Hello one hello all :) SO today was a pretty good day. woke up and relaxed mostly. Took a shower finally lol. Was suppose to go to an open mic night but that kinda fell through. I'l find one around my house that i can go to soon. So i shold have enough money soon to get my KSM out of holding. I CAN'T WAIT!!! I'll have enough to get some cables and pay bills soon then i need to find some work still. I don't know why i'm blogging when all i really do is journal lol There's no real topic of discussion. Well I'm borrowing my friends preamp. It's a Presonus Bluetube. I love that thing. Sounds so good. There's a single channel version of it at the pawn shop by my house. I may just get it.

Today was pretty much just hang out with Josh and Nathan. and go to bed at a decent hour lol. I totally just though today was some phantom day lol. I ost track of time and forgot what happened what day lol. This is why you shouldn't stay up 5 hours into the next day lol. Well i love music and recording. I plan to make this what i do in life :) Then teach once i've had the experiences of life andm y students don't have a rookie for a teacher lol. They'll have a seasoned vet :D Life choices.... soo many of them. Well goodnight my lovlies. Soon i'll have a following who cares about how my day was and i'll have more entertaining antics for them lol.

Peace love and music

Sittin in the little area by the elevators in tower c at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. Just got done playing the penny slots lol. I basically just lost a deluxe value meal at Wendy's or a pack of picks. Either way i don't gamble and this is proly the conclusion lol until i actually have a nice positive cash flow and even then i'll proly only drop like ten haha. I'm glad i came with the fam if only to see him. but i'm glad i got to see the fam from out of town :) need to figure out what to do for a sec lol just got done drinkin a BIG soda can't sleep yet. Lookin forward to getting that interface thursday. Well i'll be signing off now. until next time fellow people remember to never lose sight of what is really important in life ^_^ when you find someone who loves you for you hold on and love hard and true ^_^ i love you all. Time for the little boys room HAHA.

Now seems like as good a time as any to blog. We're almsot home from Vegas about ten minutes from the house. It was nice to see everyone and spend a little bit of time with them. I'm most likely going to just go right to bed, i might wash a small load of clothes first but yeah we'll see. I need 30 more bucks to get that interface then i'll be recording ^_^ just need a mic cable then when i get back i'll be able to borrow my uncles comp when he's not using it and make some decent scratch tracks in Garageband :) i should be able to get that KSM32 sooner than 4 months. more like one. i just need to find some work like odd jobs and stuff. well i'm home and pretty much done with tonights blog. have a great night muzr and i should be writing more soon. Still failin pretty epically with the song a day lol but wutev lol. See ya'll later peace n love ya'll


This was August 4 at 11:19 p.m.


Well i didn't go to bed right away i actually went to bed closer to 1:30ish and i did no laundry. Also i have no clue what i was trying to say with the word muzr.... lol wth. Well bye people i should post tonight but we'll see.

WUT IT DO?

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

I want to be me

Ok. So, so far i'm failing pretty hard when it comes to the songwriting thing lol have written nothing new i have to write 2 tonight before i go to sleep to catch up lol. And i'm actually going to bed before 2 wut? I reall want to try this thing out called going to sleep when i'm actually tired. it's never too early to sleep unless it's too early lol. Well i'm going to read some bleach then write some then go to bed.

Still tryin to figure out the money situation and what to blog about other than my life lol. i mean i know i need some actual content to put up so when i get readers they don't die from babble eye lol. This condition will set in after reading an excess of babble. I REALLY want that mic. I mean it's such a great mic according to reviews. Seen nothing bad about it. So new music to be up soon. hopefully in the next couple of weeks i can get this thing rolling along. One song will be about how i just want to break free and do the things that make me happy but i know people will think i'm crazy for it. and i guess another song about food maybe.

Well people stay dry, tip your waiters/ waitresses, and brush your teeth cavities bite... does anyone else see the irony in the cavity statement lol :P.

Peace peeps.

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!

The first of many to come...

This is the first of many to come. First off i'm up WAY too late. This is one habit i need to change. I will attempt to challenge myself for a certain amount of time (yet to be decided) to write a song a day. No matter how bad or well versed it is. As long as it comes from the heart. i will also attempt to blog everyday. This may be difficult in some situations when no computer is available but we'll see what happens.

For those of you wondering i am Ray Fairley a.k.a. Speedjenga. i am a singer/ songwriter who has so far completed 3 songs but is currently attempting to finish a multitude of different works haha. I have many poems completed but lack in songs that are finished and ready to be polished. I guess i'll kind of just write about what's going on in my life and processes when writing my songs and how i'm coming along with them. not really sure yet.

Well right now i'm looking for work so that I can start up my home based recording studio/ get some equipment to allow me to put covers up on youtube that are better than normal. I ramble when i'm tired. Looks like it's time to go to bed. I'll talk to you all later. If you're reading thanks :)
