by Thomas Pulsifer In the coming weeks, members of this DS106 class will be placed into groups to create a 20-30 minute radio show. This show must be a narrative that ties into our course’s themes in some way. It’s a good idea beforehand to brainstorm some possibilities for this project; That way, more timeContinue reading "Radio Show Brainblast"

For my third audio assignment, I recreated the essence of The Shining (1980) using only sound effects. Anyone who knows me knows I love The Shining, so this was an easy pick. I knew I couldn’t capture the entire plot of the film within the 90 seconds allotted, so I decided to display the general […]

by Thomas Pulsifer For my final task from the assignment bank, I’ve gone with Jennifer Hill’s 3-star prompt to convert a song into a MIDI file in order to produce the auditory illusion of hearing lyrics where there are none. I’ve heard this illusion plenty of times before, though I’ve never used a program toContinue reading "While My MIDI Gently Weeps"

AMBIENT SHUGGIE

September 24, 2021

For my second audio assignment, I created ambient music out of a pre-existing song. The prompt specifically stated to slow the track down by 800 percent, but mine may have been a little less than that. One of the biggest struggles of this assignment was simply figuring out how to do it. I originally thought […]

by Thomas Pulsifer It’s a Friday night. You’re alone in your dorm and are about to finish your homework before its due at midnight. Suddenly, one of your hallmates begins blasting music. Great. Now you can’t focus. Defeated, you lean back in your chair, staring up at the ceiling. You think back on your life’sContinue reading "ROAR from Another Room"

The last audio assignment I completed for this class was a sound effects story. For this assignment we had to create a short narrative using only sound effects. Since I had already set my other two audio assignments in restaurants, I decided to make this one “restaurant themed” as well. This time I wanted to […]

Stay hydrated

This assignment made me think creatively. Telling a “story” without words was somewhat difficult for me because I LOVE to talk. I would rather just tell you a story instead of attempting without words. I told the “story” of me filling up my water bottle. I started with unscrewing the lid, then I cracked the …

For this #ds106 Listening Assignment you are supposed to reverse a musical. The question is whether you can change the narrative by doing so. I didn’t think the story would necessarily change that match from simply reversing the order of the songs, at least not for my chosen musical, Wicked. Wicked already kind of startsContinue reading "One Wicked Remix"

I want to start off saying this has been the most difficult week so far in this class.

A HALF-STEP OUTTA TUNE

September 24, 2021

For my first audio assignment, I took a favorite song of mine and detuned the vocals to be a half-step lower than the instrumental. I had seen this kind of audio manipulation done before as a meme on YouTube and had always been interested in doing it myself. The track I chose for this assignment […]

Sounds are not just random noises your ears just happen to hear. Sounds are one small piece of something so much bigger. Sounds provide clues and insight into what is going on that your eyes cannot see. This is in both real life situations and for entertainment purposes. I discovered while listening to the DS106Radio … Read more "Audio With an Impact"

Typically I am not very good at coming up with poetry on the spot. My roommate helped me out here and told me this free verse to send out as a text poem.

Once again, only three TDC’s were required for this week, and all of them were fairly simple. 9/22: On Wednesday, the prompt given to us was to text a poem to the last person we’d messaged.

I decided to re-mix one of the photo assignments! Instead of doing grass or the ground, I did the sky with some clouds. I decided that a sky is just as much part of the earth. I found an HD picture of the sky, one without too many clouds, so it wouldn’t be distracting. Then… Continue reading Earth

This week I learned about how sound effects and different changes in sound, can tell a story. It can create a specific atmosphere, feelings, and connections. I think listening to “Moon Graffiti” and Jad Abumrad, allowed me to grasp these concepts (Audio Reflection). The radio bumper I created for the DS106, was something that definitely […]

Since I am studying theatre, I seem to have naturally gravitated towards some of the more performance-based assignments in the assignment bank.

I tuned into ds106 Radio on Wednesday evening. I had been making some rice and beans and I enjoyed a bowl of them as the episode began. I heard the jazzy bumper I made played very early on in the episode, which was fun. We listened to an old-school radio play about a creepy, possibly […]

I love Foley sound design in movies. When I was a kid, I watched the special features for some random flick and one particular segment focused on the recording of the background noise. I found it fascinating how these sound effects artists were able to emulate real life sounds using a variety of unrelated materials. […]
