    No More Daily Creates

    Conga line music initiate. No more daily CREE-ATESSSSSS! No more daily CREE-ATESSSSSS! No more daily CREE-ATESSSSSS! No more daily CREE-ATESSSSSS! No more daily CREE-ATESSSSSS! OK, now I’m tired. But in all seriousness, thank your [insert deity] I’ll never have to do another daily create. I should have wrote my future self a note, warning him about it. Out of […]

    Doomsday Spatial Analysis

    Part 1: Introduction Have I mentioned that I’m a fan of science fiction? If you haven’t picked up on that, let me go ahead an reiterate that now, just so there’s no confusion.I’ll even go a bit further on that idea. I’m so much a fan that I often ponder some of the ideas present […]

    Week 4 Summary

    by
    Week four comes to a close, amen. Sing that last sentence with a plagal cadence. The object of this week was to gather stars. Not the literal kind, as a giant nuclear reactor emitting flaming hot gas would rather hurt, but of the abstract kind. It’s like Pokemon collecting, but with quantification of effort. Oh, […]

    Chaplin’s Foley Artist

    by
    This is an assignment from the DS106 Video Assignments bank – “Charlie Chaplin’s Foley Artist” challenge (4.5 Stars). While an iconic of the silent film era, Charlie Chaplin’s movies never got the audio oomph of THX. Here is your chance to make the silent era come alive by adding foley sound effects to a movie […]

    The Three Little Pigs

    by
    It may come as a surprise to you, but I’m not a fan of fairy tales. I’ve never understood our society’s fascination with the anthropomorphization of farm animals to get a point across.  Granted, there is some appeal to it. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Disney would never have become a thing. Still, I don’t need […]

    Requiem for a Video

    by
    Because it’s such an amazing piece, I feel I have to clarify this point: the song title is “Lux Aeterna” – not “Requiem for a Dream”. The latter is the name of the movie, but for some reason it’s been confused with the song. Probably because the song is so powerful, but hell the movie […]

    Solve Et Coagula

    by
    Solve Et Coagula. In simple terms, it means something must first be broken down before it can be built up. “Solve” or “solutio” refers to the breaking down of elements and “Coagula” refers to their coming together.  It’s the Classical Latin way of what I refer to as “Eating the Elephant”; to consume the whole, […]

    Week 3 Summary

    by
    I know I reiterate the process is more about art than it is the technical aspects that get you to the end. In other words, you should never get to “stuck in” with the technical aspects. As a simplistic example, you should avoid spending too much time on something like sampling audio; instead, you should […]

    Go to Hipster Business and create a fake logo and brand name. Then use this as inspiration to create a graphic that showcases what your fake hipster business does. Don’t want to use Hipster Business? That’s fine – do it any way you like – this is DS106. I didn’t like the website template, so […]

    Create a wish list for a famous person Create an wish list for a historical figure. Put in items that you think the figure would enjoy or need, and maybe add some drawings. You could use Amazon’s wish list facility for this. For example, George Washington would definitely enjoy having some a leadership book, an […]

    Moon Graffiti

    by
    So what makes a good, convincing audio drama? Is it the story? The sounds? The subtle layering of music timed perfectly against the unspoken tone? Or is the story itself? It’s all of the above, and then some. The object of a story is to communicate an idea (and that’s Art). Art is nothing more […]

    Considering Audio

    by
    Video killed the radio star. We can’t rewind and we’ve gone too far. Translated into artistic-speak, television killed creativity. It ripped away the ability of the end user to think and tossed it in the garbage. Television painted the entire picture via cathode ray tube onto a glass screen, requiring nothing of the viewer. Sit […]

    Week two was a rather fun week. I’m kind of sad to see it come to a close. As an artist in my spare time, I really enjoy creating. Hopefully, the same spirit that embodied week two will spill over into the rest of the course. I gave a little feedback this week to a […]
