Official BBQ of Tech
Nothing helps a product quite like an endorsement from a superhero.

Disney mix
I decided to put together the workaholic Heigh Ho from Snow White and the laid back Hakuna Matata from the Lion King. It came out better than I expected. -
Weekly Summary (Week Five):
Weekly Summary This week was a lot of fun surprisingly! I say surprisingly because when I first opened Audacity I was terrified of it. I thought it was going to be impossible to learn how to use it, but I was wrong. It was actually very straightforward and easy to operate. My only complaint about […] -
Triple Rocktroll Lyrics
For the Triple Rocktroll Lyrics (2 stars), I choose a picture of Slash because Guns n’ Roses was my favorite band for a long time. I’ve heard people confuse ACDC and Guns n’ Roses before (I don’t know how) so I choose some lyrics to to You shook me all night long by ACDC, and then I attributed … -
Tech battle recording
A typical Tech battle. Also known as your typical Transformers movie plot. -
Branding
For the Branding assignment (3,5 stars) I used Design Mantic to design a logo for my superhero, Charlie Sass! I decided to go with the red skull, because Charlie’s a red head aaaand because she kicks ass. I thought the logo turned out awesome! -
Summary for week 5
This week was audio week in DS106 and I believe it was the most insightful. Learning about how sound creates a story is incredible. I loved doing the assignments as well. Especially when we had to create a theme song for our superhero. I just happened to have a guitar (which I don’t know how … -
Super Hero Soundtrack
For this assignment we had to create a theme for our Super hero. Since we couldn’t use copyright material, I chose the next best thing: to make the music myself. So this is me playing guitar and singing (doing a bad job at it too). -
Long distance relationship
I wanted to do the Long distance relationship assignment (2,5 stars), because my fiancé and I did long distance for almost a year combined. There were no instructions for the assignment, but in order to kind of illustrate what our LDR was like, I put together a collage. On a daily basis it was selfies and good … -

Week 5
Week 5 has come to a close! The audio week was kind of a mixed bag for me. I do have experience with audio storytelling, between my radio shows and my experiments with audacity in my own time. The assignments were fun, but time consuming. I started the week with the first of my assignments, … -
Superhero Soundtrack
Here’s my superhero soundtrack! It’s not too long, but I threw in a funky track that I think Little Rascal would appreciate. It’s nothing if not honest. -

To kick off this design week, I did the Destination postcard assignment (3 stars). I decided to use a picture I took of my hometown a few years ago and added some text. I really didn’t feel like I needed to do much more, the picture is nice and speaks for itself I think. It’s a beautiful … -
Sound Effects Story
One of the assignments we had to do was the “Sound Effects Story”. This was an interesting exercise, but I wasn’t sure where to start with it. It’s difficult to communicate a narrative without words; dialogue is vitally important to audio storytelling. My story ended up being about a kitchen fire. I browsed the freesound … -
Radio Bumper
This is my radio bumper. I tried to give a good vibe to our ds106 class so this is the finished product. Hope you enjoy it. -

fire mixtape
by @girlycurlyfries September 29, 2017If mixtape is in a sentence I kind of always have to add fire before it.. sorry ya’ll. Anyway I made a playlist via Soundcloud. I actually haven’t done that before. 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 → -
Barnyard Underworld
An epic story from the barnyard, about a young bull and his quest for revenge on the infamous Triad Chickens of the west side. Will he be able to end the chickens reign of terror? tune in to find out. -
Experimenting with Song Editing
For this Audio Assignment, I decided to take one of the songs that had been stuck in my head as of late, and experiment with Audacity, editing the song to make it sound to my liking. I first took the entire song and reversed ... -
Listening to ds106 Radio
This last Wednesday, I tuned in to ds106 radio to listen in on an 'Audio Drama' that was airing for the evening. Admittedly, I didn't enjoy the show at first, because the drama that was being presented was simply the audio from a N... -
The Power of Audio
Just as you can tell a story without sound, you can do the same for audio. After listening to Moon Graffiti on soundcloud, I now realize just how important sound is to telling a good story. All we had was people talking and the noises and sounds that were there but you felt as if you … -
Bumper……. radio?
Technical stuff I used Freesound to download “Batman punches” and a surreal galaxy These are nods to both the DS106 superhero theme and my blog’s personal title theme. I voice recorded the intro using the SoundCloud app on my Samsung Galaxy phone. I find the sound quality from my phone’s microphone is light years ahead … -
Show ideas
We should make a Soundcloud or youtube blog. Maybe do video and computer game reviews. -

Weekly Summary 5
This week in ds106 was audio week and boy what a week it was. Of all weeks, I found this week to be the hardest one yet. It took me a long time to adjust to using Audacity and I still don’t completely have it […] -
DS106 Radio
The drama on the radio followed the format of reading out of the book. It used music to accent the moment. There is also importance in the tone of the actors voices. When I hear it I think of the black and white murder mystery shows from the 50s. -
Week 5 Daily Creates
Below my daily creates are embedded. I think my favorite daily create of this week was the “take tall pictures” one because it gave me the opportunity to use a photo I already have of a giraffe. What is more accurate for a “tall” picture […] -
Daily Creates (Week Five):
Below are my daily creates I completed this week in chronological order: Is 7,801 ft tall enough? #ds106 #tdc2086 pic.twitter.com/JugBBxWrNf — Kelsey Mooring (@melseykooring) September 25, 2017 I honestly love this picture for many reasons: 1. It was taken on my vacation to Cali 2. It was taken at Lake Tahoe (one of the most […] -
Radio Bumper (Week Five):
by @melseykooring September 29, 2017Radio Bumper This week I was asked to create a radio bumper for the ds106 station. Below is my bumper and the steps I took to create it: I went to youtube to find a tune I wanted to incorporate into my bumper. Once I found what I wanted, I proceeded to convert and then […] -
Moon Graffiti
Stories are a form of communication and communication succeeds by appealing to ones senses. Audio storytelling means getting a message across by solely appealing to the sense of hearing. Moon Graffiti achieved this. It explained itself with words, it used eerie space music to set the tone and mood. They tossed in radio static for […]
