Local electronic musician Jayne Murray\u2014also known as Jayne Imagination\u2014released her new album Friends<\/i> on July 27. And while the album\u2014her second this year, following up May\u2019s Messenger<\/i>\u2014is the latest step forward for Murray, she\u2019s also looking back. Murray says that she had a spectacular childhood, so much so that she never wanted to stop being a child, although her imagination has only grown stronger over the years as she\u2019s grown up.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I had a really awesome childhood,\u201d says Murray. \u201cI think something cool for me that I\u2019ve thought about a lot recently is when I was a kid, like when I was like eight or nine, I figured it out that I didn\u2019t want to be an adult, I wanted to be a kid forever. And I\u2019ve said this before that I feel like where I\u2019m at now, I feel like my imagination is much larger and stronger than that of when I was eight or nine years old. So, I feel very honouring of that younger version of myself in that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murray realized that she wanted to make music while she was exploring other artistic endeavours like painting and drawing. She recognized that having music playing in the background was one of the best parts of creating.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first started getting into art, I started painting and drawing first, that was like, \u2018Oh, this is it, this is what I need, I need to draw and paint because I love it,\u201d she says. \u201cBut there was always [music playing] in the background and that was like, the best part, and playing it loud and playing it loud in my car. And then it finally clicked for me: \u2018Oh, I could make music,\u2019 and it just kind of all came together that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Murray has goals for her future, she\u2019s trying to enjoy the process between achieving her dreams and where she is now in her music career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think the ultimate [goal] would be at Wembley Stadium with like, my performance and my stuff that I want to bring on stage with me, which isn\u2019t necessarily music,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd there\u2019s a whole vision attached to what the end goal is, but, especially now, I\u2019m definitely really appreciating the sort of slow climb or the process. There\u2019s lots of cool stuff that hopefully will happen in between the time now and the end goal. So, I\u2019m just trying to enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides music, Murray\u2019s family and friends\u2014both real and imaginary\u2014are the most important things to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I can\u2019t get enough friends\u2026 It\u2019s not the amount of friends, just having those really strong bonds that are really important to me,\u201d she says. \u201cI think also within my imagination, I feel like I have friends in my imagination that I also feel very strongly towards. So, it\u2019s a good balance of, you know, imaginary friends, but also, you know, friends that I talk to and see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murray allows her curiosity to take over when she is creating music. Instead of sitting down and writing songs, she draws inspiration from different sounds on her computer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really write music, I just make it because it\u2019s all in the computer, like, it\u2019s electronic,\u201d says Murray. \u201cI either am attracted to sounds that I like or sounds that inspire me in some way and then I try and be open-minded to different sounds. And being curious about, \u2018Well, I wonder what would happen here?\u2019 Being curious about if I did that or this. Curiosity is really important, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
