Back at it again with another song! This time I focused much more on making an ambient track rather than a fully fledged song, and I’m pretty happy with the end result. I wanted something that you’d hear as the backing music to a graveyard or haunted woods at night, …
There are a lot of options in regards to telling a story. I could talk about anything, tell any sort of tale for this. What really inspired me was the idea of continuing off of a gif assignment I had completed last week. The story revolves around a monstrous dog …
I saw this assignment and immediately knew that I wanted to do it. I was inspired by a prompt from a discord server to “Introduce the listener to a space adventure”. I used an online sequencer called Modbox to make this song, which gives me all sorts of fun chiptune …
I thought it’d be fun to make a cover of a song with a style that’s drastically different from the original. For starters, I’m not that big on Let Her Go, but my partner sure is and I thought it’d be a nice surprise for him and this class. I …

Original DS106 Assignment: Have A Phone Conversation With Yourself (5 stars)

Original DS106 Assignment: Dramatic Reading Remix (4 stars)
In my upcoming days, I have multiple stops for my tours. I have gotten a lot of recognition for being a cover artist and this is one of those songs! Songs are all about interpretation and the music/instrumentals in the song. This …
For this remix, I wanted to tell more of my final project story, and figure out more of what is happening. So when I saw this remix, it just fit! But instead of one extra character, I added two for the price of one, but just their voices.
To make …
My skills have blossomed, and so has this photo collage! What was once a static set of five photos is now a photo video with background sound. Wonders are not ceasing. I took the five images from VisualAssignment2109 and decided that if these are supposed to be Places of Peace, …
Hey everyone, I decided to work on another chrome lab song this week because I enjoyed this assignment! https://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/chrome-music-labs/
For this one, I decided to stick with the default instrument, the Marimba. The Marimba is a fun instrument with a wide range of notes laid out in the style …
My group’s radio show is centered around a dangerous, monstrous alien wreaking havoc on a spacecraft and evading capture. I thought of an edited dog howl I heard a long time ago that was made to sound creepy and figured I’d have a go at it myself, but with a …
I made a bumper for midway through our radio show, The Coroner’s Tale. Because we plan to tell a lot of our narrative through some kind of radio communication between our characters across a spaceship as they try to solve a mystery, I thought a bumper that sounded like I …
I used the Song Maker application on Chrome Music Lab to create a tune that would be inside of a Nintendo videogame. I was inspired by my urge back in the early pandemic days to have my old 3DS back to play with (it was sadly traded in into a …
Many artists find joy in taking a song and adding their own musical twist to it. They give a reggae flair to pop songs. A Latin twist on classical music. A Rock and Roll surprise on rap. So on and so forth.
Sofia Karlberg is a Swedish singer and songwriter who …
For the digital assignments this week, I took it upon myself to learn some more techniques in Audacity. For the radio show, my group agreed that we’d like to start our segment out with a commercial followed by a bumper. At the end, we agreed to have a bumper and …
This bumper is for AudioAssignments2616, part of our radio show that we’re putting together. I don’t want to give any more away so suffice it to say, I found two pieces of sound: background music and birds chirping. Then I recorded a message to keep listening to Radio7 for the …
“Now that we have a #ds106 radio up and running creating a 15 to 30 second bumper for the station. What is a bumper? It is a short recording that identifies the radio station with signature music or an expression that makes sure the listeners know what they are tuned …
I thought this assignment was fun and simple. I basically looked at all of the objects around me and tried to make it sound like I was in some type of weather or in some weather. The weather I chose was rain droplets. I am sitting right underneath my air …
For this audio assignment, I’m bending the rules a bit in the interests of the radio show project. How about a dark take on Audio Assignment 1745, “Good Morning Message to the Village? It’s still a message to a village, that is, our village in DS10,6 and a message of …
I used https://freesound.org again to find a background sound. Then I transferred it over to Audacity, and recorded my part of the radio bumper.
I can’t always think of what to say for a radio bumper, I usually go through like 10 different scripts before I find the right one …
“Create a 30-45 second radio commercial for a product from the 80’s. Add in some background music and/or sound effects to make it sound like a real radio commercial.”
I know creative people usually hate the question ‘where does your inspiration come from?’ and usually have …
Taken from the Make Your Own Radio Commercial! assignment, I have created a commercial for my group’s radio show. Since it was going to be about college advice one thing I would advise an incoming student to do is join the fencing club because fencing is a lot of fun!…
Since the radio show is dealing with advice for college students, I went in that direction with my bumper. I hope our advice will help and bring a little joy to the listeners.
CreationI used SoundTrap to make the bumper. I began by recording the message. I actually used …
I decided to make a commercial for our on campus Katora. I know a bunch of students have all kinds of thoughts about how good or bad Katora is so I wanted to give them some publicity. It can be serious but also I wanted to make this commercial a …
I wanted to create a cool promo/introduction for our radio show rather than just a commercial. I wanted to make something that show cased what are show was and to grab the listener’s attention and draw them in. I took some samples of Bob Ross comments and set them on …
For this Audio Assignment, we had to say a tongue twister as fast as we possibly could and then add some nice background music to it.
Well, that’s mostly what I did. See, as we speak, I am currently about to board a 16 hour flight. I wasn’t about to …
I took this prompt and twisted it to fit into my group project. As the protagonist would eventually need this product….
This one was pretty fun to make, I incorporated some interesting sound effects into it to make it less monotonous.…
I really liked doing this because it is kind of it’s own promo. I used sound effects from https://freesound.org and Audacity. I wanted to find sound effects that related to our radio show. I looked up the specific sounds I wanted, and imported them into Audacity. I messed around with …
The prompt
This is a fairly straightforward assignment, done out of necessity, so it has a fairly straightforward finished product. We need bumpers for our radio show, so I made one for when we come back from a commercial break. It’s pretty simple. I took some stock music I already …
