Listening to the radio show tonight was very interesting and enlightening. The way to producers used layered sounds and their voice to entertain the audience was amazing. I thought the use of music added a great eerie or suspenseful aspect to the story. And the movement of the sounds out

I am a little embarrassed to admit I had to look up the July 20, 1969 moon landing to convince myself that Moon Graffiti was just a story. Matt Evans and Ed Herbstman used different aspects of sound to create a very realistic dialect between Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin

This week was all about photography and photo editing. We had readings about modern photography, famous photographers, photo manipulation, and photography tips. We were also supposed to connect with others in the class on discord and twitter. I didn’t do this very well, because it’s a little uncomfortable to comment on strangers post, especially if […]

Stories have shape. The diagram Vonnegut drew when explaining his made-up story really made me think about how many different mediums and sizes stories have. Some stories start in the future, some stories change time, place, and even universes. When comparing this to the Szumer’s piece and the video on the evolution of hypertext, it… Continue reading Same story, different link

September 20, 2021

Sound effects often times get overlooked because we can’t see them. Sounds make a story more intense, emotional, they even allow a space for immigration. I think sounds complete the story; pictures and videos obviously show you the story but the sounds give you the full effect. In Moon Graffiti the sounds made me think …

This goes for the tone, the sound, and the perception people take from listening to this “story”. There are many different sources to use to create audio recordings and tell a story. […]
