My previous experience with audio has been fairly limited. I listen to B101.5 in my car, and my eleventh grade English teacher played a few podcasts for us in class (after talking about how amazing they are, to which we all rolled our eyes), but other than that, I tend to have some sort of […]

Musicals are fun, they can be tragic, romantic, empowering. I decided I wanted to reverse the order of my favourite musical and see how it would sound. Here is The Opera of the Phantom! The reversed Phantom of the Opera, my all time favourite. I think the dynamic and power of the story is still … Continue reading "The Opera of the Phantom"

Greetings, Hope you’re having a moderately adequate day, if not better? This blog post will consist of the Audio Assignment called “Reverse It“. This involved taking the soundtrack from a musical and simply reversing it. The idea was, would the musical still make sense if it was all backwards? Interesting… I chose to reverse the… Continue reading Is the Greatest Showman still great when the soundtrack is reversed? →

I enjoyed this assignment a lot, as I got to listen to a load of my favourite songs with my main being David Bowie’s Heroes, which I started the mixtape off with. The point of the assignment was to create a mixtape that people used to decades ago, with your favourite songs. It reminded me … Continue reading Make Your Own Mixtape

This assignments probably the easiest I’ve done so far. The aim was to create the worst sound ever. To do this, I used my Microsoft Headset, which has a very competent microphone that picks up every little sound. This allowed me to put the microphone in my mouth and just breath in, with a minor … Continue reading Auditory Hell

This ds106 assignment was part of an audio unit and was called “Create a place“. The aim of the assignment was to use audio to paint a picture of a scene and put the listener there in the location. This assignment really shows the importance of audio in that it can be used to create […]

This assignment was one of the funniest I’ve had the pleasure of doing, as it involved me and a mate singing at 4pm in a recording booth to the most ridiculous songs we could imagine. We booked out a microphone with Av Loans, booked out a recording booth, set up the Apple Mac and Audition … Continue reading Funny Singing Voice Over

Many artists now a days find their fame on the internet, take Justin Bieber, for example. But how do they start? Most artists start by covering pre-existing songs and music online, to build up a following. This shows off their voice and talents to remix to a certain extent, but also leaves writing originals either […]

The past two weeks have been really stressful. On a personal note, my dog, Angel passed on the 7th of October. She was 24 years old and I’d had her since I was 19, so for 14 years she was my sole companion. It hit be hard and it was big adjustment and work, school …

I’ve been pleasantly surprise how easy the collaboration between most members of the group has been solely through online communication. I live and work in Arlington, so meeting in person wasn’t an option for me. And while online communication made my life easier, it also made me nervous about putting together a radio show. I …

From using the bumper assignment out of the assignment bank, I created an outro for our Distress Signal radio show. I first found a free song online that felt very superhero like. It’s entitled epic, how we depict our show to be. I coordinated with my group member, Ashleigh to agree on this “theme” song.… Read More distress signal outro

For this assignment I was asked to combine cover songs with another cover song. I decided to remix it a little bit and combine a cover by Amandla Stenberg of “Let My Baby Stay,” with the original instrumental by Mac Demarco. It was really hard and I’m not that proud of this combination. For one … Continue reading cover + original →

So, audio editing is a work in progress for me. I spent a lot of time working on each assignment, only to finally realize I wasn’t going to modern, electronic Mozart on my first try. My pieces aren’t going to sound like what I hear on the radio or at DJ event, if they did, …

A superhero soundtrack was tough on me from a creative perspective. I really didn’t want to do a voice-over because I felt like it fit my character or her story. I didn’t know how I could adequately relay her story in a quick voice-over. Instead, I decided to go a very minimalist, abstract direction with …

Whenever I like a song on SoundCloud I usually just “like” it and then listen to my liked songs later. I know they don’t … Continue reading fire mixtape →

In the virtual classroom, we mimicked that experience with a few minor differences. If we missed something or were unable to decipher what was happening based …

“Moon Graffiti” grabs you right from the moment you start listening. The producers achieve this primarily using two distinct styles when introducing the story. NPR’s “How Audio Stories Begin” describe these techniques as diving immediately into the narrative and introducing a mystery. We are confronted with alarms signaling a sense of danger and urgency, as …

I tuned into the ds106 radio on Tuesday. It was really fun actually. I was skeptical because I really just didn’t know what to expect.

There were guns, nightclubs, barber shops, sex, and brutal fights … Continue reading ds106radio experience →

I’m sure most people find their friends fascinating, otherwise why are you friends? But of course, I believe my friends are objectively fascinating. …

Every week we learn about a new form of storytelling. I feel that each one is important since they can support each other as well as work independently and still convey a narrative. One of the magical aspects of audio is that it doesn’t require a visual to create them. As you can hear in … Continue reading audio = storytelling →
