My radio show group decided to write voice messages into the script so we could complete the assignment about leaving a message. This way, we could make sure each character had enough air time and also subtly add the theme of missed opportunities and mixed messages in the show (because...

This assignment is titled “Sounds Of Your Day” and is worth 3 stars. The assignment can be found here. I wrote this post as my character, Lena. The first sound is of my alarm. Although it’s annoying, it gets me up and in the mindset that my day is about to start. The next sound … Continue reading What Did I Hear Today?

This Audio Assignment is “Movie Voice Machines” and the guidelines for it are to create a voicemail for a character in a film or TV show. I altered this assignment for our group radio show and had my character, Shelley Layton, leave a message for someone in the radio show instead. Also, instead of hearing … Continue reading Did You Get My Message?

Earlier this week, I tried to do a theme song for Isabelle for 4 stars. I ran into some copyright issues and thought I guess I just shouldn’t do this… But I still felt really inspired by the incredible job Tiffany, one of my group member’s, did with her character’s theme song so I decided I’m […]

Another assignment that I chose to do was Emotions Through Sound worth 3 stars about my character. What is going in the audio that is playing is that Caleb has came to a house that he heard noise at so when he walks in he sees someone laying on the ground with class all around […]

To be completely honest the creation of a Radio Show is very daunting. I wasn’t sure where to start or even find group members. Luckily Professor Groom suggested Twitter and I found three people that were so kind to let me join their group. At first we had no clue what to do and Geoffry … Continue reading Radio Show Progress →

One of the assignments that I chose was to do a slow motion version of a song. I picked the song by User called climax. I thought this was appropriate because of the already drug out lyrics. I used audacity to slow the song way down turning it into a 6 minute song. I then … Continue reading Usher Slow Mo →

Figuring out what Sasha Kellogg’s theme song would be was very hard! I wanted to complete this assignment in the hopes that maybe my group could use it during our radio show, because characters in shows often have some type of theme or background music that always plays when they...

This week, I tuned into DS106 radio on Thursday night. I was really excited to see that it was going to be two different stories. Although I will say, I […]

How hexcellent  (ps weekly puns still definitely a thing) We didn’t have daily creates so I’ll start with my comments We started work on the radio show this week, (#noirpaca) which I wish we could work on over spring break.

So for this one-and-a-half star assignment, I threw it back to a previous assignment that I did during what I think was Photography Week … Wow, doesn’t that seem like eons ago?! For... Read more >

Now that we have a #ds106 radio up and running creating a 15 to 30 second bumper for the station. What is a bumper? It is a short recording that identifies the radio station with signature music or an expression that makes sure the listeners know what they are tuned into (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumper_(broadcasting)). So for … Continue reading Radio Bumper →

This week was pretty long, but not too complicated. I procrastinated as usual, and attended a conference at Mary Baldwin, but I’m doing this at 7pm instead of 11pm, so I’m getting better, right?   This is how happy I am that  I’m done so early: Anyway, here is a summary of the long week […]

This is the make it 800% slower assignment worth 3 points. This was an interesting experience. I had no clue just how long the process would take for a lengthy piece, or how massive the resulting file would be. It took about 2 hours to process, and I ended up with a 4 GB behemoth … Continue reading Scoring 800 Percent →

The first assignment that I completed was to make a creepy song. This was a really fun assignment to complete actually.  It is called Spooky Sounds and is worth 4 stars.  All I used to create this assignment was music and sounds that I found in mixcraft. I hope y’all like it and find it […]

In this three-star assignment, Cat, only mere months after her father’s premature passing, decides to do some spring cleaning and sell the piano that contains fond memories. This was the... Read more >

Sound Scapes (4 1/2) stars told us to use only found sounds in order to create a sound piece. I chose this assignment because it reminded me of one of the assignments we had done previously in this class, so I had a basic idea of how to start it. Another reason why I chose it was … Continue reading Try to escape →
