DS106 Radio Bumper: Puns and Guitars
So, after learning the basic of audio editing from audacity, I started this assignment. I searched around on freesound after reading about its existence from a fellow ds106 participant on her radio bumper post. It was a fairly straight forward process after I watched the tutorial. I just found a guitar bit I liked to […] -
Week 5: The Wind Calls
This week was filled with learning. I started off by reflecting on what I knew and what I had yet to learn. I also put out some ideas for the midterm. Then I participated in a tweet-along and gleaned some information on what a radio show used to sound like versus a newer one like “Moon Graffiti”. … Continue reading Week 5: The Wind Calls → -

So this week we had to do 3 daily creates from twitter. I really enjoyed the ones for this week, I thought they were pretty great! For the first one, we had to create an invention of some sort, so I decided on a breakfast buddy! Essentially, it’s a spin off of the machine in … Continue reading "Always Making Something New…" -

Radio Bumper
This assignment was pretty fun! I re-did my recording like 8 times probably because I kept saying something strange or something that didn’t make any sense. I ended up just keeping it pretty simple, but I like the way it turned out. I used a guitar sound from freesound for the background and talked over … Continue reading "Radio Bumper" -
Audio Thoughts
I was in awe when I actually thought about the impact of audio in a story. At first thought I -
30 Seconds: All About Me
This assignment was pretty nerve racking. I felt like I was actually doing speed dating when I was talking and trying to figure out what to say in 30 seconds. I kind of winged it because if I were to try speed dating I definitely would change what I say with every person, so I … Continue reading "30 Seconds: All About Me" -
Mashed potat….songs
For this assignment I had to choose an artist and pick at least 5 of their songs and create a mashup, at least 5 minutes long.

Thoughts on Moon Graffiti
The audio in the podcast episode “Moon Graffiti” was extremely eerie and well-placed throughout the story. I liked how the speaking sounded like it was coming from different positions and areas. Listening to it with headphones on was effectively immersive. The characters within the story spoke eloquently and solemnly to one another throughout the story. Behind their … Continue reading Thoughts on Moon Graffiti → -

Week in review 5
So this week I had to do a lot of audio recording stuff, I can’t say I enjoyed it because, as I’m sure many people can agree, I hate hearing my own voice. I was able to talk about music for a bit at least, which is always nice because I love music, but I … Continue reading Week in review 5 -

Audio reflection
Sound is of course hugely important to media, discussion, emotion, etc. I can entirely agree to that line of thought, give a sad moment, say a character leaving forever or sacrificing them self an appropriate piece of music to accompany it and it will go from being sad to being a massive emotional hammer blow. … Continue reading Audio reflection -

Ramblin’ about Ramble On
I love metal, classic rock, and folk (as in traditional folk, not blue grass) music. When this assignment came up I decided to do it, but I wasn’t sure on what song. A lot of what I like is just hard driving stuff that I thinks sounds cool or ‘epic’ or whatever, not something that … Continue reading Ramblin’ about Ramble On -
Final Thoughts on Audio
This week was based all around audio and to be honest this was the week I was fearing. The visual, video and writing all comes easier to me than audio. To my surprise though, I think I learned a lot this week and the following is my audio reflection. I think sound is often overlooked […] -

This is a short ‘story’ of a regular school day using only sound with some light editing in Audacity. I took sounds from freesound.org and uploaded the complete file to soundcloud and now it’s here. I had wanted to do something like a battle, but that seemed like mostly white noise, especially without too many … Continue reading A noisy day at school -
