Chapter I from the book Blossom Hill Mia had just left the shuttle at Folkestone after passing through the Euro-Channel from Calais and traveling the fifty-mile route through the world’s longest underwater channel by train with her car—thirty-seven miles undersea in just thirty minutes. She was excited. North London University had offered her a place,… Continue reading First days in London

September 24, 2021. This is Julia enjoying the vivid colours of our back yard in the fall sunlight. I began this Friday with a panel to wrap my participation in the TILT conference, and then more work on the OERu install. I got tired of that and made a...

September 25, 2021. These apples are growing wild on a former farm now known as the Reveler Conservation Area. I took a 50km bicycle ride there and back this afternoon on a brilliant fall day. In the morning I set up the website for my upcoming MOOC; t...

September 23, 2021. This is where I change into my biking clothes; it's the downstairs bathroom (which doubles as the laundry room). What I mostly did today was to work on the OERu WordPress-Docker setup, which I still can't get to run. I'm running out...

September 25, 2021

In preparation for my favorite holiday, I decided to complete this #ds106 Audio Assignment which had me mixing together different spooky sounds. I used FreeSound to find different public domain tracks and Audacity to mix them together. I focused on creaky wooden steps, ghost whispers, group whispers, spanish whispers, and something more phantom-like. I’ve neverContinue reading "This Is Halloween"

Audio Storytelling

by @josephineds106

| #audioreflection, ds106, Syndicated
September 25, 2021

Audio is a medium that I struggle with. Visuals make me feel like my story is not being misunderstood. I feel that sometime it is easier to have visuals with no audio, but harder to have audio with no visual. But, audio can also tell some great stories when done right. Visuals do not always… Continue reading Audio Storytelling

I would say this week has been the toughest week thus far. I imagine that if this trend continues I wont be able to get through the semester, let alone the school year. If I had to guess I would say I’m behind in most of my classes, but more importantly my mental and physical… Continue reading Weekly Summary 5

by Thomas Pulsifer And that’s a wrap on Week 5! Though the photography theme of Week 4 was a lot of fun, I found myself enjoying audio-based storytelling far more. The process of shaping a narrative through sound alone is fascinating, and I’m always a fan of messing around in Audacity. To start of theContinue reading "Weekly 5ummary"

I decided to make an audio assignment because I noticed there was a considerable lack of composition based audio assignments in the assignment bank. I certainly Plan on adding more audio assignments, and I’ll try to add tutorials for all of them. For this Audio Assignment you’ll use any composition software (muse score, finale, etc.)… Continue reading Audio Assignments:3’s A band

I listened to “Moon Graffiti” after watching the two videos from RadioLab’s Jad Abumrad. Then, I blogged my thoughts on its use of sound to tell the story, and compared it to Abumrad’s ideas. I also created a radio bumper for ds106 radio! This was my first audio editing assignment. Then, I made a short […]

radio show ideas

September 24, 2021

I think we could do a radio show listening to one of Bob Ross’s videos, and commenting on how his inspiration guides our class and contributes to our theme. Or, the whole show could just be a conversation about his ideas relating to class, citing some of his videos. A different idea would be to […]

The Audio Assignment Reverse It Asks that you take a soundtrack form a musical and rearrange the tracks in order to create a whole new story. Many musicals begin and end in similar places musically, with the finale being a reprisal of some of the main beginning numbers of the Musical, and the case is… Continue reading Audio Assignment: Reverse It

Within this assigment, you must find some spooky sounds and create a scary audio clip. Select more than four sounds and overlap them on a program like Audacity. You can use Freesound to select your sounds. Make them as spooky as possible. Good luck! https://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/spooky-season/ I loved this assignment!

For my radio show, I would either want to do something in the style of a podcast (exploring a topic or telling a story that explains a topic) or do a radio play as we heard on ds106 radio. Some topics I might be interested in include music or anything pop culture-related (movies, TV, literature, […]

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"

This week was definitely harder in terms of assignments from the assignment bank. Actually getting the idea and the audio to go with it wasn’t hard but bringing the two together like I pictured was difficult. Especially with the radio bumper, it took me a good while to figure out how to convert my audio …

This was super awkward and embarrassing as I don’t like recording myself in any form but I tried to go for a soothing but energetic voice. I don’t know if it worked. The sound is kind of choppy where I edited it and I don’t know how to fix that but I did my best …

September 24, 2021

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 […]

a day at the beach

September 24, 2021

For my sound effects story, I wanted to make it sound like you are walking down the beach, wading into the water, and then going underwater for a few seconds before coming back up. For my sounds, I used http://freesound.org. I searched for the sounds I wanted, like footsteps, beach sounds, seagulls, submerged, and waves. […]

September 24, 2021

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 […]
