Goodbye Jimmy
I chose emotions through sound (3 stars) as one of my audio assignments because I think being able to portray emotion through only one sense can be very dramatic. Another reason I chose this assignment is because it requires the use of overlapping sounds or sound effects. I thought it would be a good challenge for me to … Continue reading Goodbye Jimmy → -
Radio Show Ideas
In a couple of weeks, we will be forming groups and creating a radio show as pre-recorded audio. In preparation, here is my brainstormed idea for a 20-30 minute radio show—somehow related to or inspired by noir. Since the course began, I’ve been inspired by the idea of “After Dark”. This to me just seems so noir,… -
The Sounds of Noir
This week’s overall theme for noir106 was Audio Storytelling, how you can tell a story with sounds/audio and how audio can affect a story. I feel like a completed the requirements for assignments this week better than I have for the past weeks because I started working on multiple assignments early in the week and … Continue reading The Sounds of Noir -
Audio Reflection
Sound impacts mood and creates atmosphere by drawing attention to the listener and allowing them to interpret how the sound makes them feel. For example, “spooky sounds” create a dark, somewhat uncomfortable tone. Sound helps express the visual image by defining mood and directing our attention. Sound is emotionally direct, so it is a powerful … Continue reading Audio Reflection -
Sound Effect Story

Week Four Summary: Audio Storytelling
Upon seeing that this week was focusing on audio and noir, I was intimidated by the task initially. I usually don’t create any audio things in my free time and I never used Audacity before, so I really thought this … Continue reading → -
Good Morning Sasha Kellogg
For the “sound effects story” assignment (3.5 pts), the only things I could use were sound effects to tell a story about my character, Sasha Kellogg. I used Audacity to mesh the sounds together, which was a lot easier than I expected. I decided to recount Sasha’s morning routine, because... -
Radio show ideas
Well, I have been thinking about ideas for a radio show. I love the movie Haunted Honeymoon with Gene Wilder, Gilda Radner and Dom DeLuise. If you have never seen the movie, it starts off with them being radio actors. The show they are on is “Manhattan Mystery Theater”. This is what I think about … Continue reading Radio show ideas → -
I think I might just sit in silence for the next week

Song Credit: Crazy Train- Ozzy … Continue reading DS106 Radio Bumper -
Your Theme Song- 4 stars.
This assignment was to make your own theme song. I thought about using the opening to Angel of Death by Slayer and a choir singing, but then thought not. I found somethings that aren’t as aggressive to put together. Theme song -
Can you figure out what song this is?
This assignment was to pick a song, play it in reverse, and give some hints as to what the original… -
Radio Bumper: Did Someone Just Die?

For this radio bumper I found a video of noir related music made by Daniel Carison on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBUsdLPmkvc I found a -
Radio Show Ideas and Thoughts
I think a great idea for a radio show, that would feature our noirs, would be a radio show involving the noir characters in our group. I think the storyline should be about each one of our noir characters living in an apartment complex in downtown New York City. None of our characters would know each other […] -
Sorry Dots
this post is going to be a summary of my two daily creates for this week. For the first one I chose the I’m sorry picture in which I typed over a photo of the New England Patriots. I thought this was funny although I realize some people may not enjoy it. Either way it … Continue reading Sorry Dots → -
Bumper
Let me just tell you how frustrating this bumper was to make. But nun the less I liked this assignment. I spent so long trying to make it better and interesting but still be the appropriate length. I do think I like what the outcome was. For my bumper I used parts of the Phantom […] -

Can’t Get It Out Of My Head- 2 Stars
This assignment was to whistle a song to see if anyone can guess it. This audio was fun to do because I always get song stuck in my head. This was fun to do. -
Radio Thoughts
Below are some rough ideas for the radio show project! Everything is subject to change. 1. A murder mystery. Could start off with gunshots, voices, running, screams. Could start off with a regular story, leading to moments that are intense and fraught. Moody and suspicious characters. Upbeat and perky characters. Mysterious characters. 2. A secret … Continue reading Radio Thoughts → -
Noir Downpour: Pt. 4
Audio Week in ds106 was a bit of a challenge, but as usual, I am excited about the media I produced as a result. Here is a mash-up of Kanye West’s Gold Digger and Man of Constant Sorrow from O Brother Where Art Thou! It’s pretty noisy, but I’m happy with it. Here is […] -
My Self Reflection
For my last audio assignment of week 4 I only needed .5 stars. While looking in the assignment bank, I came across the Audio Self-Reflection assignment. This was an easy and quick assignment. All you had to do was answer the following questions in a 3-5 minute audio clip: Hi, my name is …. I […] -

Spicing Up Week4
This week I did 3 daily creates: Monday-Ruin-Porn Photography Today A picture of the old amphitheater here on campus, it is no longer used and it looked antique so I thought might as well used this picture for the “decay” daily create. Tuesday-I’m Sorry This is a picture of my friend’s dog (basically my dog), … Continue reading Spicing Up Week4 -
