Original Welcome Message

I'm working on making this website! There are Videos under 'videos' and songs under 'music' etc.

there is also a pop-out mp3 player of a bunch of my songs to the upper left.

there are actually two pop-out players now... the one developed by yahoo is an arrow on the side of the page and is a smaller selection of some recordings i'm particularly pleased with

I clearly don't actually update this enough, but i've got grand schemes as of the beginning of 2009. Posted a new video and i'll begin uploading songs over time

hit me up at jay(a)jayackley.com

actually, i think [anything](a)jayackley.com will come through to me. bonus points for creativity!

Setting the Music Free

As a gesture of good-will and love I've spent the last couple hours making it a lot easier to download my music from this site.

You can download the entire selection of the songs I have on this site here (i.e. everything I have recorded that I'm remotely happy with) or go to the 'sounds' tab and download the tracks individually.

I hope this will let you enjoy my songs on your magic little music boxes.

Returned and Refreshed

I just returned from a great trip to the Dominican Republic.

It was capped off by jamming outside of a supermarket at 5:00am on a classical guitar belonging to a man who was distracted by my lovely female compatriots.

I'm sure that the experiences of my first trip outside the developed world will stick with me as I continue to write and perform songs- though for now, I just need to get my head and life back in order after a week of intense revelry.

I'm sure that ridiculous pictures of debauchery and joy will begin to show up on the internet, enjoy.

What's Going On?

So this is a nice little virtual shrine I've created for myself.

I've been living in New York City for a few months now and I'm starting to feel like it's where I am.

Music is picking up and I hope to be making an album very soon.

Until then, you can listen to most of the rest of what I've made on the side here.

I will be persitently trying to make the whole page look and work better

I realize that it's not actually the future, but stuff like this sure is convincing.

The Haps!

Now that David has shown me some of the nifty new things about this website editing software i can get back into working on it [see: new graphic to the left, music video page, this post]. This is very exciting because I am terrible at actually working on music but website manufacture/design is probably equally important at this stage. David and I have been working on recording some stuff and hopefully shortly some of it will wind up on this site but i can't be entirely sure yet, things have a terrible habit of not happening. The move to NYC is now less than a month away and i have no idea where I'm living! Scary!!!!!!!

Anyway, send me a note if you feel like it, I love to hear from people.

love,

Jay
