What’s The Morning Story Glory? assignment was not to hard. I just had to remember to record the sounds of the things I did in the morning. I do not normally cook breakfast for myself in the morning. I like going to seaco to get and omelette from Estelle. Since, I used my cellphone to record […]

I also completed the Cheesy Radio Add For Your School assignment. Once I read this I knew exactly what I wanted to say. I wanted to make it around the slogan UMW has “Where great minds get to work.” What does that even mean. Personally, I think it is cheesy by itself. I wrote up […]

The Row Row Polyphony assignment was an interesting assignment. It took me a while to find a song that sounded half way decent with the polyphony effect. I ended up choosing the Incy Wincy Spider. I had the song start at 3 different times. Using audacity I was easily able to move the different tracks […]

One audio assignment I completed this week was Create A DS106 Radio Bumper. I decided to make it related to The Wire so I could possibly use it for my radio show. Using audacity I recorded my self saying DS106. I then used the effect “paulstretch” to have it said a little slower. I also lowered the […]

This assignment worth 3.5 stars was probably one of my favorite to complete! I decided to ask people how their parents chose their name. The stories I got are very cool. Everyone has such an interesting story behind their name! I interviewed some friends and even some strangers. It was kind of awkward asking my cab […]

Hi there! This assignment was the Music Mashup (3 1/2 stars), where I took two completely separate songs and put them together. I decided to take Adele’s Rolling in the Deep and Imagine Dragons’ It’s time and put them together. I took the vocals to Rolling in the Deep and the instrumental to It’s Time.…

  Daily Create| What is page for page the book with the most wisdom you’ve ever read?   This one was REALLY tough. I had to think on this one for a while. I love books. It was really hard to… Continue Reading →

For my last audio assignment I did the “Make Your Own Rington”. For the Ringtone I played I rain in the background really low because that’s the best background music and I like the sound of rain so I incorporated that into my Ringtone. Then I used my favorite character Si Robinson from Duck Dynasty […]

For this assignment I did my favorite song Dirt by Florida Georgia Line. I read the lyrics to a instrumental song that I found on youtube. I thought that  I was going to have trouble trying to read the song and not sing the song, but because the instrumental background music was way different than the […]

For one of my audio assignments I did the ” Cheesy Radio Ad for your School”. So of course I did my ad for the University of Mary Washing. For this assignment I wrote out what I wanted to say first and then I decided to record my self on sound cloud. I didn’t like […]

Last Night my Radio Show group members met up to talk about what we were going to do for out Radio Show. We talked about all the aspects that we were going to do to incorporate in out Radio Show. We also talked about a Radio Show Jinngle like out theme song.  I’m really excited […]

This was another great week in DS106 for me. I think I love the audio assignments the most out of any other assignment group. I feel that it allows me

For my my final audio assignment I decided to do the Imitate some weather assignment (1.5 stars). I didn’t really have to think this hard for this one I knew

For my third audio assignment I decided to do the Row Row Polyphony (2.5 stars). I really love doing this. I  have been in choirs all of my life and

For my second audio assignment I decided to do the So an So’s greatest hits assignment (3 stars). In this assignment you’re supposed to take music from your favorite group

For my first audio assignment I decided to do a Dramatic Reading Remix (3.5 stars). Once I saw what this assignment was about I already knew what song I was

Made entirely on Pixlr.

I did my second daily create today by creating a mashup of the Wire and Game of Thrones. It was pretty fun to put the Wire into a new context and draw parallels with a show that is as dramatic and intense as the Wire, though Game of Thrones is a little more heartless! Here […]

  This week my radio group, newly named the “Wire Buyers” have been working on our project. We figured out our name and have designated some work to each person. I think it will be interesting to go through the episodes with the lens of product placement and marketing. For my promotional work for the […]

So today’s week called for a collaboration of ideas.   I linked the ladies in my group @LKMahone and @malbrycht7 (and hopefully Desa saw because I don’t know her twitter i.d.)   In regards to my thoughts….I created a Google doc :   https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JT8d3oJRK7rP26GDOZbg-lMLLFfqQBn5zUrDCSKDg5g/edit   I am hoping that some collaboration can come through Skype and …

Today’s daily create involved writing a blurb about  The Wire and what we do here at ds106.  However, the objective of this assignment was to show it but by not describing it.  I pulled together this random piece via some photos I found via the internet courtesy of Google Images. I figured what better way …

Hey guys!  I did the daily create for today, and decided to come up with an alternate version of The Wire based upon the name solely.  The first thing I thought of was a tightrope wire.  Don’t ask me why.  I haven’t been to a circus in probably 18 years!  Anyway, I thought it would […]

This is how the episode, and seasons, begins. It seems like we are back on the street again. I really love the green trees contrasting with the red brick. The junk strewn about the street also makes for a great shot. There’s blue, yellow, and red on the sign in … Continue reading

Dramatic Reading Remix | For this assignment, take a song that you love, and record yourself doing a dramatic reading of the lyrics. Then take another piece of music (obviously without lyrics) and set your dramatic reading to it. This should… Continue Reading →

Lauren Brumfield and I are in the same ds106 project group and were working on the project tonight. We decided it would be fun and different to do an assignment together and the Dramatic Reading Remix assignment was perfect because we could do a song with two sides. We chose “Space Oddity” because David Bowie […]

Spooky Sounds |  For this assignment, make an audio track using found sounds or your own recordings that is creepy, spooky, scary, halloween-inspired. Make it more than a minute long so we have time to get scared! Worth 3 stars.… Continue Reading →

Voice Over a Beat | Produce a beat with any (online) beat generator. (For example you can do it with Soundation: http://soundation.com/studio by using their beat libraries.) Then record your voice over the beat. Make it sound cool or funny or… Continue Reading →

I played around with soundation.com and made a cool beat for the voiceover a beat assignment. When I finally had something I wanted I spoke a few words in Garage Band and combined the two tracks, creating my audio file. I am still on a Halloween kick so I made it sound creepy and asked […]

The Wire The wire is a drama documentary about a family of circus performers who specialize in high flying circus acts. The performance finale during one of their shows ends in disaster as one of the young performers is killed trying to complete the act. The entire family must walk across a 50 foot long […]

I did today’s daily create “(Don’t) Describe #wire106.” And I read a couple of other people’s ideas (of course because I don’t want to be way off base here) and I kind of spun off of their ideas. I don’t know if anyone has seen White Collar but it is a GREAT show (which will […]
