    it’s a start

    by
    Here is my first audacity audio project, which I’m calling ‘armed robbery.’ It’s for the sound effects story assignment, in which we were to create a story using only sound effects. I decided to go along with my character, Cleo Barrow (a spin on Clyde of Bonnie and Clyde), on a bank robbery. To set […]

    Whistle to Me

    by
    For my first audio assignment this week I chose to do the “Can’t Get It Out Of My Head” assignment worth two points. Everyone has experienced not being able to get a song out of their head. The one I chose to whistle is especially catchy and has been stuck in my head for at…

    Touch of EVIL

    by
    After watching the two clips from the same movie “Touch of Evil” I am really surprised to see what different music and sound effects can do to the same scene.  The first clip is more laid back and seems to have a more happy feel to it even though you know something bad is going … Read More

    Audio Storytelling- A Musical

    by
    Sound is a huge contributing factor in setting the mood in film, theatre, and in radio shows. Sound is crucial. It can make or break a moment. Think back to the time where movies relied on music and sound effects to tell the story because the actors were silent. Without sound, these stories would never…

    Live Tweets = Mad Followers

    by
    See what I did with the title?  It could mean live tweets = angered followers OR it could mean live tweets = a lot more followers.  These were both true in my case.  My best friend follows my ds106 twitter and was quite confused and annoyed by my constant tweeting while listening to ds106 radio … Read More

    DS106 Bumper

    by
    The creation of a bumper was my favorite assignment thus far. It was so open and you could really create whatever you like. I used “Second Chance” by Shinedown for the music and cut the lyrics. I uploaded the song to Audacity and input a voice over to let the listeners know what station they … Continue reading DS106 Bumper

    Kitties and Puppies!

    by
    This week I completed two daily creates. Coincidentally, they were both pictures of animals with a message on them. First, I made a picture with an “I’m sorry” message. Because animals are so cute, I imagined what a cat would be sorry for and decided that the most likely scenario...

    There’s a storm inside my brain.

    by
    This week, we were directed to brainstorm ideas for our upcoming radio show.  You could imagine my initial thoughts of this having never done anything like it before… Needless to say, I had no issue coming up with ideas.  I read over all who have posted regarding this so far and found that many people...

    Happiness Through Sound

    by
    First Audio Assignment is completed! This is actually my first time using Audacity. It took me a while to make 1:40 sound. I went to tutorial in UMW’s Digital Knowledge Center, it helped me a lot. If I did not go, I would probably had hard time to this assignment. My assignment is to show emotions […]

    Radio Show Ideas

    by
    Some ideas for a radio show are that maybe a different noir story is told each time, or everyone has to create a story around their character that has a noir theme. If that doesn’t work, noir movies or stories that have already been created could be selected by people and discussed, this could introduce people … Continue reading Radio Show Ideas

    A Bumper For Our Very Own Radio

    by

    When I read that we needed to create a bumper for the radio I paused slightly. I found it really strange speaking into a microphone to people I would probably never meet but it was still fun nonetheless. I’ll probably die of excitement if I hear this on the radio. Read more →

    A Sound In The Life of Layla Arkwood

    by

    For this assignment, I had to pull together different sounds to create a story around my noir character. I found this assignment challenging but I nonetheless did it! To clarify the message I decided to write what was heard into a small story.   Layla couldn’t help but laugh. Seeing such a pathetic man cowering at her feet was enough… Read more →

    The Beatmaster

    by
    One of our Audio Assignments was to create a beat of our own from scratch using an audio program.  Myself and a buddy (who raps) used to sit around and make beats all of the time, but I have never used GarageBand so I figured I would give it a shot on my Macbook pro.  Needless to... Read more »

    An Emotion Through Sound

    by

      For this assignment, we were to edit together sounds to create a certain emotion. For no particular reason I chose sadness. There are four sounds overlapped and edited to begin and end at the same time. I fused crying, rain, glass breaking and a sad violin together because they were practically the epitome of sadness. Admittedly, I got the… Read more →
