This assignment was to find an ad on Craig’s List and record it like a beat poem, adding jazz accents. This is the ad that I found about a broken tv: I found some jazz accents on freesound.org and uploaded it into audacity. Then I recorded myself reading the ad. This is what it looks… Read More

Betsey Johnson once said, “With over 3 million women battling breast cancer today, everywhere you turn there is a mother,...

  I’ve created this for our radio project “Wired Buyers” where we focus on product placement.  One of the commercials I’m making is for Proposition Joe’s appliance shop.  Even though it’s really called “John’s Radio and Television” in the show, I took the liberty of changing it here. I included the fake URL because the […]

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/sound-scapes-2/ Sounds are from freesound.org: spoonbender – www.freesound.org/people/spoonbend…r/sounds/244942/ IFartInUrGeneralDirection – www.freesound.org/people/IFartInUr…on/sounds/74646/ cornodrig – www.freesound.org/people/cornodrig/sounds/76676/ This sound was made from various sound that I found on freesound.org. I also used the Audacity software to trim, and adjust the volume of the different sounds in each file. Finding them was not too difficult; it just took the […]

Ah, episode 12 of season 2 was rough. It was hard to see another season and another case come to an end. I first watched the episode without the commentary. I mean, that only makes sense, right? Overall, the episode was great just like last season. A lot of things are left unsaid and ties […]

“All Me In The Scene” was a fun audio assignment where you do all the voices.  In this poem by the great nonsense writer Lewis Carroll, I was the narrator as well as the old man congratulating our hero on a job well done.  I attempted to add some drama, however, it’s not really my […]

For my last Audio Assignment I chose the 3 1/2 star “Recite an Original Poem”. I chose to approach a summation of what The Wire is constantly reminding us. The overall message implied one should walk away from this series with. The game here is one of many levels, replicated by many but just the […]

“Spooky Sounds” – This was the best audio assignment EVER!  Perfect for upcoming Halloween.  I had my 7-year-olds listen as I kept making it spookier and scarier.  They totally loved helping and offering criticisms along the way.  This time I wanted to have background music, based on a suggestion from Jim Groom when I created […]

This week Wire 106 has been a bit hectic between my being away in NYC and then getting sick on my return. Which was further complicated by the fact we are now starting a two week odyssey into radio shows straddled … Continue reading →

This is my rendition of the audio assignment “Remix A Song With Some Speech”. I love old westerns, particularly the ones that Elmer Bernstein scored, so I knew I’d use one of my favorites which is the theme he wrote for “The Magnificent Seven”.  It’s a rousing, heroic piece so I needed an inspiring speech […]

An original poem related to the theme of my blog? I like it. For another audio assignment, I decided to tackle this prompt. Since my blog has a very heavy space theme, and one of the main topics in general is art, I decided to relate how the cosmos themselves are almost like a work […]

I once said, “Every girl is beautiful and perfect just the way they are.” I really do mean that. Every...

Audio week was a little more difficult and time consuming because I had to get used to GarageBand and Audacity, as well as explore new outlets to work with. I worked with my group on our project a bit though and made a banner for our group, as well as a commercial we may be able […]

Episode 12 and commentary: Zimny’s discussion on the reality of the show is so true to me. The whole show is always so realistic. I love the commentary by Thorson on the opening sequence because she notes the lack of dialogue in favor of image and direction. I love the word “stain” she uses to […]

Melinda’s Wire poem is just awesome, both in the writing and the reading. The rhythm in the reading is so good that I thought I’d try to add a music track to it. Here’s what I came up with: I … Continue reading →

My third Audio assignment was “FlickrSounds” a 1 1/2 star assignment. I decided to do snoring as my picture / sound collaboration as that is the sound that I presently hear and envy so much right now! I was lucky to find a man snoring carefree of those around him, similar to m husband right […]

This week was back to audio. Audio is becoming a lot easier for me, the practice is beyond beneficial. I enjoyed doing the assignments, while some were more challenging than others. I am fairly impressed with what I learned how...

For this assignment, I did an epigraph from The Wire, season 2 episode 12. Business, always business I love this quote, it really sums up The Wire, and it similar to “it’s all in the game”   Process: I just...

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/swap-shop/ This was a fun one to create. I used the sound recorder on my computer and a basic headset. However, unlike other recordings, I grabbed my brother to assist me with this one while I was at home. After going over the assignment, he was ready to help. The idea for the product actually […]

My next Audio assignment required that me to pick one of my favorite bands or artists and at least five of their songs to mash. I loved this assignment, it had me listening to some of my favorite old tunes from the funnest decade of my life; childhood! I grew up listening to this band […]

Audio Assignment:  Feeling Inspired: The audio assignment which I choose to do was the Remix a Song with Some Speech worth 4 stars assignment where I choose to use Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream speech,”  whose audio  I got from Mp3Skull by doing a search for this, in conjunction with the rapper …

Episode Notes Season 2, Episode 12 with Commentary You see workman’s boots sticking out under the tarp as the body is removed on the Stokes from the water, so right away you know it’s probably who you think it is. Didn’t realize so many scenes were cut out.  Still, it’s better in this time format […]

H! This week, along with the theme of audio, we were supposed to watch a commentary on the last episode of season 2 of the Wire. The episode is called “Port in a Storm.” When I went to watch the commentary, I had already seen the episode without the commentary so I was interested to…

This assignment was the most time consuming one so far, but I am impressed on how it turned out! I used Florida Georgia Line as the artist to tell the story. Since, I already had their songs on iTunes, I...

I made a tv commercial for my radio show group, but I also wanted to make some sort of visual form of advertisement. So I got to thinking… there’s nothing than a good ole fashioned poster/banner sort of thing. I… Continue Reading →

Applesauce anyone? Today’s daily create called for us to be creative on a whim and asked us to create a doodle which interacted with our environment.  I drew a picture of a doodle-dude eating some apple sauce. I made sure to draw the doodle-due close towards the edge of the page so it would appear …

For my last audio assignment of this week, i wanted to do some work on my radio show. I know our show has to have some commercials, so i figured i’d make some of my own! The “Cheesy Radio Ad For Your School” was perfect. Although i interpreted this on my own. I did one […]
