I am very upset to say goodbye to audio. I was also disappointed to not be able to hear my radio show, but I was in a night class on Monday and did not get back to my room until our radio show was over. Janelle however was able to be present to listen to […]

This week has been a crazy hectic jump right back into college life! The first thing I completed were my daily creates and my Radio Listen(http://sayheyjanaye.com/radioshow/noirtalk-review/)! Which my charcacter Melbay made an appearance at via twitter @mbinthewind http://sayheyjanaye.com/dailycreate/daily-create-1-spring-break/ My first daily create is a lego drawing to summarize a trip I took back home during […]

http://calabashnebula.com/assignments/watching-from-the-background/ Kim did the ds106 background pic and it actually scared me(in a good way!) http://ds106.christineloehr.org/thoughts-and-ideas/commenting-2/ I liked this because she had the header say “Places Ive been this week” ! Clever without using puns! http://www.mariamk.com/assignments/dont-ask-melody-and-jeff-questions/ This assignment had my character MelBay in it so I had to show some love! http://blogs.jessicareingold.com/ds106/assignments/how-i-procrastinate/ I will let […]

3 and a half stars http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/youre-invited/ For this assignment, Melody Bay, from the influence of her father agreed to hold a showcase for the town of her recent summer paintings. She does not plan on attending the event but she is sending the invites to the guys from her radio show House of Noir(Jeff and […]

2 and half stars http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/valentines-day-caption-challenge/ For this assignment I am creating the scenario where Melody Bay has sneaked into the radio studio of House of Noir one night to listen to old Sebastian Crane tapes. She would never admit it but she finds his voice mesmerizing and enthralling. In a moment of creative weakness she […]

3 Stars http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/looking-at-yourself/ For this I, as Melody Bay, created my self portrait as an homage to Sasha Kellogg. This woman who survived great family tragedy and still managed to thrive and present herself with poise and grace. MB cannot bear to stray far from where her mother left her. Drawn to the memories the […]

2 Stars http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/my-favorite-lyric/ The characters this assignment involves is Dalina’s Rose King and my own Melody Bay. Both women are artists, one a singer the other a painter, and both are trapped in their hometown. Rose because she does not have the money to leave, Melody Bay because she cannot leave the memories of her […]

Spencer is honestly so creative it hurts. His Lego creations fill me with envy and the desire to create more(so much so that I almost bought $50 worth of Legos before my roommate stopped me). He took this daily create to make a spaceship and not only shared with us his Lego creation, but also […]

The emotions through sound was one of my favorite assignments so it is no surprise that this inspiration comes from that assignment as well as my previous inspiration. Kim did hers with a scene where you are stuck in traffic going to the beach which sounds EXACTLY like my summers without the loud music! This […]

Mariam completed the assignment Emotions through Sound. In this assignment she uses the sounds of a flatline, crying, and person walking away to tell the story of her characters mother passing. This work inspires me because it tells a whole story through only the use of sounds without words. It truly takes you into the […]

My first inspiration post for this week is about Janelle! Her work always goes the extra mile which is something to truly admire. The assignment I choose to upload to the inspire site is her audio assignment: Remix a song with Some Speech. She used Steve Jobs commencement speech at Stanford in 2005 and the […]

For my second daily create I made a ransom note for Groom. When making this ransom note I used the website http://www.ransomizer.com/ to create the font. For my demands I tried to think of both ds106 things and things that I would enjoy(which I guess makes me the Groomnapper!). I came up with the following: […]

I really liked how in the beginning of their radio show they explained how the show normally works for first time viewers! Very clever, and helped the audience stay clued in. The characters were very strong and I loved Damon’s insecurity and Layla’s sauciness! Even MB got in on the action. The best thing about […]

Over spring break I was fortunate enough to visit my favorite museum, The Franklin Institute, to see the Art of the Brick exhibit. This show features the artist Nathan Sawaya who uses Lego pieces to create/recreate pieces of art. It was incredible, and anyone who frequents museums knows that at traveling exhibitions they do not […]

This week has been crazy, but oddly rewarding! Finishing the radio show was a top priority that didn’t stop for our snow day! My team and I had a lot of fun creating it! Janelle, Mariam, and Rhiannon all got friends to help add more voices in our radio show which was a great contribution. […]

Yup that’s right my wonderful group consisting of myself, Mariam Khan, Janelle Pierangelino, and Rhiannon Lalumandier had our radio show House of Noir live on soundcloud by 10:59pm Thursday, February 26. This felt like a huge accomplishment and was honestly a lot more fun and easier than I would have expected. We first got together […]

My three lovely daily creates this week were the 5 Things that make you happy video, the Teal Blue and Orange, and the Scary Movie Trailer! My first daily create took forever! I knew I wanted to do a slideshow video but for some reason YouTube was not collaborating so I had the idea to […]

What a week! Last week was horrible, I spent most of the week convincing myself and my friends that I wasn’t sick, but then ended up in urgent care on Valentines Day with a fever of 100.2 and flu and strep symptoms the nice part was I got some great meds that had me sleeping […]

Here are some of my favorite posts this week in no particular order! First up is Brian Christiansen with is audio assignment Sounds of Your Day! He uses this assignment to showcase his character Gambino. It sounds awesome and his character’s name is love! http://bchristiansen.com/blog/assignments/sounds-of-gambinos-day/#comment-180 Next up is Chelsea Irizarry’s Radio Show Poster it looks […]

Our show theme is a noir round table where we will discuss questions and topics relevant to the noir stereotypes our characters represent. Since three of my group members all have the jerk with a heart of gold I am a little nervous as to how this will work with my lone mysterious woman. We […]

To create this poster I first had to search through countless pictures of outlines of people standing on google images. Surprisingly or not there is a lot of pictures and mostly of people dancing or jumping for joy. Once I found this picture I used http://apps.pixlr.com/editor to add text to picture. After I had added […]

4 stars Soundboard Conversation http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/soundboard-conversation/ I have always wanted to be in an episode of Doctor Who, so even though this assignment said favorite movie character I decided to stretch its limits to TV and make myself a companion. Also if we are being honest most DW episodes play like movies. I received the audio […]

All Me in the Scene 3 Stars http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/all-me-in-the-scene/ This assignment was to create a story using only my voice for all the roles! I am using this to show what happens to my character Melody when she tries to go the bar for drink and some chaotic solitude. The first thing I did for this […]

3 stars http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/ds106-radio-commercial/ This assignment asked us to create a radio commercial for a favorite TV show or character of ours. I created mine for my character Melody Bay and my group’s radio show House of Noir. My character is the mysterious women and I decided that the one “product” she would want is the […]

Creating audio pieces is a lot of fun, and I have to say that this been the best week yet. Long, but great. I started with my audio assignments which you can find at the following links: http://sayheyjanaye.com/assignments/melody-bay-at-the-beach/ http://sayheyjanaye.com/assignments/coming-out-and-how-it-ends/ http://sayheyjanaye.com/assignments/taylor-swifts-greatest-hits/ http://sayheyjanaye.com/assignments/radio-bumper/ The bumper assignment was a little intimidating because all the bumpers sounded so good! […]

In the first video there is a feeling of authenticity from the sounds you hear. It is as if you can imagine being in the film with the characters. As much as I love music the prevalent horn and sax section in the second video is abrasive to the ears and takes you out of […]

So And So’s Greatest Hits(3 stars) http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/so-and-sos-greatest-hits/ 22, Our Song, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Shake It Off, I Knew You Were Trouble

I for one love live-tweeting, usually award shows, but live-tweeting the radio show with the ds106 gang was a lot of fun. Story time! #noir106 — Janaye Nichelle (@nay_nay09) February 5, 2015 I don't like the way he's breathing… #noir106 — Janaye Nichelle (@nay_nay09) February 5, 2015 Hmm what kind of accidents Phyllis #noir106 — […]
