WEEKLY SUMMARY: Week 5
Sweet Sounds (Are Made Of This) This week was all about audio as we explored how sound effects, music, and words can drive a story. We created a radio bumper, reflected on audio, and tweeted along to a dramatic story. This was a challenging week, as I think most us were new to creating and editing […] -
The Daily Remix
I created this sound bit with Audacity. I recorded myself using the sink, throwing something away, putting something in the toaster, and microwaving something. Then I completely distorted it and created an echo. Let me know if you can tell what&... -
Democratic Party Speech
For this assignment I manipulated a speech from the democratic party in 1919. I added crowds cheering, changed the pitch and added a duplicate clip that reversed the pitch on top. I used audacity to create this, and I downloaded the clip from Wi... -
they pulled the trigger!
This assignment was from a website called Frequency2156 where you are tasked to create a an apocalypse message from the year 2156. Since this class is based around the 80’s I made it a nuclear apocalypse, because everyone in the 80’s were definitely slight worried about nuclear death. The only problem I ran across was … Continue reading "they pulled the trigger!" -
Guess that sound
For this assignment I used Audacity to manipulate the sound of a pen clicking. I created an echo and changed the speed and pitch to make it sound completely different than the original. Crazy what a little bit of editing can do! -
Sick Beat
Check out my sick beat project that I created with Garage Band for Mac on Soundcloud! -
Radio show ideas
There aren’t a lot of topics that come to mind when it comes to the 80’s. Out of the past 5 or so decades I can’t really come up with much but for my grades sake I came up with a few Ideas. SlaSHER HOUR Each show we review a slasher film, or two depending … Continue reading "Radio show ideas" -
Audio Reflections
It was until watching these class materials I realized the importance of audio in storytelling. Subconsciously I have always noticed sounds as background noise and connected it to the importance of the storyline. But, I have never thought how the effect as a whole contributes to all of storytelling Listening to Jad Abumrad discuss his […] -
Weekly Summary 5
The theme of audio related assignments led to a recurring theme in completion that was pretty surprising to me, difficulty starting. With almost every assignment this week, the first step was the most difficult/time consuming part. Maybe this style of work doesn’t match my style of creativity, or maybe it is just a coincidence. Either… -
Death from Above
In an attempt to get better at audio storytelling I dug deep to tell a story using only noises, instead of verbal communication. This one for me was by far the most difficult assignment of the week, but it ended up being fun once I started piecing it all together. With everything else being so… -
Door to Jurassic Park
In another instant classic audio assignment, the goal is to take a simple everyday noise and make it not so “simple” and “everyday”. My mind couldn’t really grasp both sides at once for something that could turn into something else, so I left it up to fate. I look up some simple sounds you may… -
Not the Sickest Beat in the World, Just a Tribute
For this fun little audio assignment, the task was to create a sick beats to end all sick beats. I spent a lot of time just trying to figure out where to even start. I’m not much of a musically minded person, so I felt like a log adrift until I remembered that the sickest… -
Smoothest Bumper You Heard Today
One mission, one task, create the best DS106 radio show bumper possible. Guess what, mission accomplished. For some reason whenever I think of radio voice transitions, all I can imagine is that old school smooth jazz cliche. Obviously that led to my only option of using that style for my own bumper. I started recording… -
You Can Call Me TED
As an audio assignment, today I was tasked with recording myself saying the first few paragraphs of Try something new for 30 days – Matt Cutts. The goal was to focus on how I’m saying my words, such as pronunciation, inflection, pausing, and so on. Check me out. Maybe next time you hear this wonderful… -
New Thing I’m Bad At
I learned today that humming skills seem to correlate with singing skills, which means that I am terrible at humming. For this audio assignment I had to take a song that gets stuck in my head and record myself humming it. To keep with the 80’s theme, I picked the 80’s song that gets stuck… -
Intro to Design
To start this week we had to read 2 different books/articles on design and what it is. The first was Wayback Machine. In this book he talks about the important aspects of design and what makes them stand out. He mentioned semantics first which is meaning of what we design. As a designer we all … -

A Week Down, Another to Go
This week proved to be tough. Learning how to use Audacity was tricky at first, but it was rewarding when I was able to do what I wanted to do with my audio. My favorite audio assignment this week was probably Sounds of My Life. It was cool reflecting on what sounds are normally in… -

I had to watch this scene so many times to recreate it that this scene is stuck playing in … -
Weekly Summary #5
This week with audio storytelling was for sure the hardest week yet for me. I had previously had ZERO experience with creating any audio content on Audacity, or even Soundcloud for that matter. I took a tutorial and asked a lot of my friends who had experience to help me navigate the audio assignments. Although … Continue reading "Weekly Summary #5" -
