Another Week Down
Well Audio week is officially over in DS106! This was an interesting week and it was definitely very challenging. Here’s the week in review. First up was to think about what exactly audio storytelling is. This was done by reviewing old readings, videos, or stories and reflecting upon how important audio is to paint a … Continue reading Another Week Down -
Audio Assignment – Emotions Through Sound (3 points)
I chose to use 4 different sound effects to show fear. I used a heavy breathing sound, a scream, a creepy violin tune, and a scary laugh. I used audacity and messed around with their volume levels so they would… Continue Reading → -
It’s Gotta Be the GRAMMYs
I, being the “uncultured swine” that I am, hadn’t realized that the GRAMMYs were this week. I don’t know if that was the rationale for making this Audio week, but I’ll just assume it was. I started off the week...

American Tennis Court
For this assignment (worth 3.5 stars), I had to set a dramatic reading of a song to the tune of another song. I chose to make my dramatic reading rhythmic, making it seem like more of a rap. The song I chose was American Pie by Don McLean, set to the music of Lorde’s Tennis […] -
I Think I’m Hearing Things!
The dreadful Audio week that I heard about on Twitter and various other DS106 sites, proved to be a little difficult but nothing I could not handle, or at least ask others about. In fact, I enjoyed this week the most because I truly felt accomplished when I finished each assignment. I began the week … Continue reading I Think I’m Hearing Things! -
Fantastic Four
1. Audio reflections in this Post I reflected on the audio in storytelling. I watched the opening shots of the movie “touch of evil,” I read about sounds and film noir, and I listened to the radio broadcast “double indemnity.” I did however miss the live tweeting session with one of the radio shows. I actually didn’t … Continue reading Fantastic Four → -
911 FAKE Emergency
For my final assignment this week I created a fake 911 call. The reason? Netflix had run out of episodes of The Office! Take a listen. -
Liam Neeson Fights for Satisfactory Customer Service
For this assignment (worth 4 stars), I had to create a conversation between myself and a movie character. I used soundboard.com to find some of Liam Neeson’s lines from his movie “Taken.” I then combined these lines in Garageband with my own recorded voice to create a conversation about pizza delivery. -
Make a Song Assignment
So I decided to do the make a song assignment. Here is a little 80’s themed track I put together using FL studio. All custom Synths -
Week Four: Do you Hear Something?
I learned a lot this week, because before now, I knew absolutely nothing about creating sound (except obviously I know how to talk). This week I found the Tweet-along to The Maltese Falcon incredibly fun, not just for the story, but to interact with people who were going through the... -
Week 4 Summary
Another interesting week. I played around a bunch with Taxi Driver for my assignments this week. That was a ton of fun. I love that I was able to act out the famous “You talkin’ to me?” speech for the line remix assignment, of course substituting “me” for “him.” I also used the film’s theme … Continue reading Week 4 Summary → -
NoirCatcalling
For this assignment (worth 3.5 stars), I had to create a story about my character, Ami, using only sound effects. To create this, I compiled sounds from soundboard.com in Garageband. In the story, Folami is leaving her club for the night. She is walking down the street, cars passing by, when a man walks past her and wolf-whistles. […] -
A Time to Reflect…On Audio Storytelling
This week I learned how important audio is in storytelling, especially in noir! Audio and sound effects can really make -
Audio Assignments – Sound Story (3.5 points)
I made a sound story based on my character Ava. The sounds tell the story of her life as a diner waitress, the decision to pursue her dreams as a writer/actress and move to Hollywood where she eventually becomes a… Continue Reading → -
Emotion through sound
So this assignment was to create emotion through sound. The emotions I chose to create were stress and anxiety. When looking into “soundscapes” I noticed that most people attempted to create a scene that would evoke powerful emotion. I wanted to create a scene of loneliness in a way that felt inescapable such as being … Continue reading Emotion through sound -

Radio Show Ideas
Here are some ideas I have for a 20-30 minute radio show: Fictional News Emergency - I always thought it would be entertaining (not just for the audience, but for myself) to reenact an emergency news situation and to say the famous lines “This Just in!…” and then rant about something completely random while pretending … Continue reading Radio Show Ideas → -
Audio Reflection-DS106 Radio-Twitter
For the listening part of understanding audio storytelling I tuned into the ds106 radio on Thursday night. We listened to two pieces, in which one was an older story and one was a newer story. When I tuned in I was a little anxious because I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything and […] -

Radio Bumper
For this assignment, I had to create a bumper for DS106 Radio. Using Garageband, I created a leaning wall of dissonant noise. A simulated electric guitar then plays the opening notes of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, a piece that I feel pairs well with many of the thematic elements of Noir. A trumpet fall […] -
Audio Storytelling
We have been tasked with “discussing audio in storytelling”, a vague, possibly momentous undertaking which leaves me unsure where to begin. So rather than an ambitious explanation, I’ll just sort of keep to what I looked at/listened to, and what I think/thought. Now first off, I watched all for sections of an interview with Ira Glass, host of This American… Read more →

Think about Audio Storytelling:Watching
Watch: Touch of Evil Opening Shot and Orson Welles – Touch of Evil (1958) – opening (NO-restored version) The difference I found in the theme music and street sound of the non no-restored was that the types of sound was distinctly different. It went from a fast, heavy beat to a steady blues, New Orleans […] -

Audio in Noir Media
We had a great week in DS106/Noir106 this week! We took on the challenge of interpreting the use of audio in all sorts of noir settings. I digging into our assignments: […] -
Make it 800% Slower
Make It 800% Slower: 3 points So this was my last assignment for this week. I thought this one would be easy to perform but for some reason it tool me a while complete due to the fact Audacity didnt want to work with me for tonight. The song I chose for this assignment was […] -
Radio Show Ideas
One concept I have used for my character dossier is the Jerk with the heart of Gold concept that is conceptualized in Noir film. For a radio idea I was thinking maybe having a real Jerk with a heart gold on the show and people could call in and share experiences they have had with […]
