This was a beat that I had previously made for an assignment and just voiced over with a deepened pitch. I wasn’t really sure what to say over such a short, high bpm beat so I just went a little simple.

Archives As an advertisement for our upcoming radio show, I decided to create a flyer. It seemed like a good advertisement option and also gave me a reason to play around a little and discover some more about the Inkscape program I downloaded for visual editing projects like this. I still don’t know a lot about it and I really have no creativity when it comes to colors and color schemes unfortunately 🙁 I started by getting the ds106 radio logo. Then I searched online for a spy-themed image that I liked and felt like fit our show’s theme. I […]

This is a poorly recorded intro of one of my favorite songs, without the lyrics. Can you guess what the song is??? He’s one of my favorite rappers that I’ve mentioned before on my blog…

So far in our progress, our group (myself, Daniel H, Daniel Z, Samantha, and Sarah) have basically decided on a 30ish minute spy narrative show similar to the Limetown podcast, with the theme focused on mass surveillance vs. old school human asset spying. We’ve also decided to add in other segments to break up the … Continue reading Radio Show Progress

Archives I would have to say our group was both productive and not productive this week. What I mean by that is, I feel like we got a lot decided but when I think about what still needs to be done, I feel like we didn’t really do anything at all! The week started by everyone joining/being assigned to a group for the project. My group started a group e-mail which led to a group text chat. We had wanted to to try and meet up one night this week to discuss things but unfortunately, our schedules did not mesh […]

Audio assignments have been pretty painstaking for me maybe because I never had the experience of using an audio software. For one audio assignment, I tried to combine 2 songs, one original and one cover of an original, but it turned out that I had the same problem as before of figuring out the starting time. Since the two songs …

I used a drum machine called Hydrogen to make this beat. I actually made it when we first started doing audio assignments, and I really liked making this. It’s a pretty fast BPM song so it’d be hard to actually make a song to it, but I really like the overall flow of it and … Continue reading "Being a DJ For a Day"

So, since we didn’t do the last bumper as part of the official assignment bank, I created another radio bumper. We haven’t yet come up a title for our show, so I kept it just themed to DS106 and spying. I did something a little different than last time. The music especially is pretty cool. […]

For this assignment, I recorded my 30 introduction using Audacity. I talked about my likes as a list of items. I thought that 30 second introduction was going to be quite long, given an awkward situation like facing someone you have never met, but approaching it in a categorical way helped decrease the perception of time. It actually gave me …

For our Radio Show Bumper Sticker, we decided to do a simplistic look. The background color is red (because DUH spies) but it has a bit of paint splash look so it’s not too basic. We put in a little spy on the side (becuase DUH spies.) Our title, which I talked about in my progress blog … Continue reading "Radio Show designs"

So week 7 is almost done and I think we have a pretty good basis for our radio show. I am in a group with two people that I already know and one whom I dont know. We been emailing back and forth, and we have also had a few private messages about how we want … Continue reading "Radio Show Progress"

I had the chance to get my hands on Audacity and as I was getting myself adjusted using such software, I had a lot of fun playing around with it. I chose the song, Shut Up and Dance by Walk The Moon from my “mixtape,” and I added random effects to the song every 15 seconds for 15 seconds. The …

Spring break officially started today in school and eventhough I will be here studying most of the time, I decided to make a playlist that expresses my emotions, thoughts, and wishes. It was not the easiest task to come up with songs that fit into the theme of spring break since I rarely keep myself updated with popular music. In …

This week was a return to audio techniques in preparation for the radio show project we will have to be doing. All in all I feel like the assignments gave me more experience in audacity which is pretty nice since it is a pretty useful program. The biggest downside of the week was just trying to get in touch with the group to communicate. While some communicated it was not everyone, and even then communication felt a bit static instead of a dynamic back and forth. http://igtherioncrossek.com/uncategorized/row-row-polyphony/ http://igtherioncrossek.com/uncategorized/sound-effects/ http://igtherioncrossek.com/uncategorized/favorite-song/ @ds106dc #ds106 pic.twitter.com/q118T4aRsi — Igtherion Crossek (@Igtherion) February 27, 2017 @ds106dc

Man this week was a hectic one! With midterms back to back every day this week and then spring break coming up I barely had the time to eat or sleep but I tried my best to get it all done! Overall I am pumped with the progress that my group has made thus far …

I tries to throw together a mix tape of new and old alternative songs that I liked to listen to and have spent a lot of time playing. Most of these songs are very well known and popular but some of them might be a little different so let me know what y...

The goal was to get the old sounds to come across as a very busy office building. It was difficult but I think it actually turned out alright!

I wanted to take our radio show on a mystery ride due to the fact that a lot of secret agent work is mysterious and I thought it could fit really well with our theme. The way I tackled this was by finding a mystery that I could read and discuss in the short period …

Things have been very hectic and busy this week, but our group somehow still managed to pull out some good ideas! We first had to come up with our group which didnt seem to be too hard for us although i did notice a lot of other groups struggling with it. We put our names …

Have you ever tried to draw a circle with your right hand while filming it with your left!? UGH! It is…..impossible! @ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1874 Do you know how hard it is to draw a circle with one hand […]

Greetings….fellow agents. I have uncovered the most top secret….super secret spy in the history of….spies. It is….THE SILVER SHROUD! He is coming for you…..at a radio show near you! I got this inspiration from our 3 out of 5-man team meeting which I recalled this mysterious figure when we were brainstorming ideas for stories (Source […]

This week we started to work on our small group radio show. I got into a group with Kevin, Hannah, and Krystal. We all had busy schedules so we decided to make a google doc and send some emails throwing around ideas. One of the ideas that was thrown around was where we talk about …

One of the ideas that my group was throwing around for our radio show was to talk about who is our favorite secret agent and why. I really liked this idea so I thought that I would make a poster for it. The poster has some of the actors that played Bond on it and …

I started off the week with getting into a group for the radio show assignment. I got into a group with Kevin, Hannah, and Krystal. We all were pretty busy this week, so we decided to set up a google doc so that we can throw around ideas and get ready to do the actual show. …

So we figured out our group and are beginning the process of creating our show! We have a few ideas floating around, but don’t have a solid theme yet. Of course the spy theme will be effervescent in our show, as always, but the structure and topics are up in the air. We have discussed … Continue reading "Radio Show Progress #1"

Daily creates: I was really proud of this. I wanted to pick a photo that could set me up for a great pun, because I have a very puny sense of humor. I wanted to use the AC/DC font, but couldn’t easily find it, so this was my next best font. @ds106dc #tdc1880 I'm very …

Above you will see our radio show logo, featuring our name and a message that will hopefully pull in listeners. Our name “Spy College Kids” came about because we are reviewing spy movies, the the name “Spy Kids” is an easy one to play off of. I think the simplicity of the logo is great …

For this four point audio assignment, I created a specialized radio bumper for my group’s upcoming Sexspionage spy radio show. I found the task relatively easy to complete, with diction choice being my longest task as I had to present our idea in an appealing manner which encourages listeners to follow along. The four sampled … Continue reading "Sexspionage Radio Special Bumper"

For this four point audio assignment, I decided to create a Soundcloud mix-tape of notable spy songs, many of which related to my radio group’s specific topic of sexspionage. You can view the playlist below! I wanted to avoid song covers, to capture the original songs’ direct references of the spy genre. As a result, … Continue reading "Spy Mix-Tape"
