As a musician I do a lot of analyzing in order to understand what exactly is going on underneath the surface.What are the chords, the harmonies, the instrumentation, the arrangement,the mood the rhythm, the intonation of the players/singer, the melody, counter melody if it exists..This list goes on.Basically I'm constantly trying to figure things out, to wrap my ear around the music so to speak.But being a clinician and being a player are two different things.Some of the greatest musicians in… Continue

When I was younger one of my favorite movies to watch was Ground Hog Day, starring Bill Murray.We're talking post Ghostbusters, pre Lost in Translation Murray mind you.Not that it makes a difference/Anyway the who plot of the movie is that everyday the main character,played of course by Murray wakes is exactly the same.He is forced to live the same day over and over until he gets it right.I've started feeling like this for the past two three weeks now.Tonight I finally realized why.Patterns… Continue

When we are born the first sound we make is a cry,a yell, a scream.It's like the experience of childbirth is not only an overwhelming experience for the mother , but for the baby as well.Before we develop the ability to talk, we learn how to communicate, using sound cues, body language, visual recognition.Eventually we develop speech and grow up.But yet somewhere those other forms of communication are lost.Some how I want to get back to that.Those moments that I just want to scream or yell, if… Continue
Patterns

In most aspects of life you can find patterns.When found in nature, they add depth and beauty.We humans , well most are symmetrical.One half mirrors they other.It's said that the most universally beautiful people have perfect.In music you have a repetitive pattern of 4 steady beats in most cases.Then on top of that you have variances in rhythm creating layers.But yet those same 4 beats are still there binding holding everything together.That's when things get exciting and you begin to add more… Continue

Hi! My name is Jay B. Walker A.K.A. Zyyro. I am an artist, activist and director in film and tv who left the security of working in TV in NYC to keep my sister's ATL based non-profit alive. .A passion for change fuels my life. It fueled my sister's life too. She was a Doctor, Classical Singer and a Filmaker Educated at Howard University. A true Renaissance woman.
From Medicine to Music to Movies.....she did it all and started a non-profit in ATL to create excitement about learning through teaching film production.She supported it out of her pocket from 1997 til passing away in April 2008. I am attemptinng to keep her dream alive and continue making "CHANGE" a reality. I need your help though.
The logo and pics you see are of the 1st edition of my "CHANGE SHIRT" COLLECTION. A black vintage t-shirt that celebrates this new day and time. We've made a drastic change in Washington...we can make a drastic change in the world! I am attempting to do my part.
I am selling the "CHANGE SHIRT" at www.jetfuelforrevolution.com. The first one is limited to only 2000 pieces and will be a collectors item.
THE CHANGE SHIRT MAKES CHANGES!!! The next limited editions will be offered in other colors. I would appreciate your support by buying one for you and friends as gifts...or just spreading the word.
The name of the non-profit is MADE4YAYA, standing for: MUSIC-ARTS-DRAMA-EDUCATION-4-YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS.
Your purchase is tax deductible.
MADE4YAYA is a 501C3 non-profit corporation. For more info contact me.
