    Got Clues? A Radio Update

    by
    This week started out with complete panic for me. I don’t really know anybody in this class in real life and the only people I’ve had much interaction are the people that participated in the tweet-alongs. So needless to say, I was pretty nervous to find a group. I definitely didn’t want to be added […]

    Music in a Trio

    by

    I was very skeptical about this assignment. I knew how much editing needed to be done to fuse the three tracks and that made me pause slightly. However, I couldn’t help but feel curious about the assignment. So, I decided to try it out. I chose one of my best sounds to sing which was “Beautiful War” by Kings of… Read more →

    Only Pearls…

    by
    At 9 pm, I tuned in for a radio show on the DS106 radio station to take a listen in on Phillip Marlow’s adventures and the mystery surrounding a pearl necklace…. Through this I live tweeted what I thought- while...

    Fake Radio Commercial

    by

    I had a little fun creating this radio commercial. I decided on the show Sleepy Hollow to create a product for because it is one of my all time favorites. I noticed how much the characters needed to know where the different horsemen were and how they always found them at the end of the episode. So, I created something… Read more →

    All Me In A Scene

    by

    This was so embarrassing. I’m able to do accents but the voices of men allude me. I just sound like a really deep voiced woman. My voice is already kind of low so it wasn’t that much of a big deal. But a male Russian? Geez. I pick the worst characters to imitate. I chose to incorporate my noir character in… Read more →

    Music Mashup

    by
    Using Audacity (or any other sound editing program) create an audio mashup with 2 very distinct songs. According to wikepedia these mashaps may fall under “fairuse”. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/music-mashup/ 3 1/2 Stars! For this assignment I looked towards Country music as there has been many stories about how similar so many songs are. For my first song I … Continue reading Music Mashup

    Mia’s iPod Circa 2008

    by
    Audio week is back again, and the assignment bank is back in action. This week we are required to do 10 stars, with at least 5 dedicated to our character. While this assignment is not dedicated to Blair, it was still fun and worth 3 stars. The assignment was entitled So and So’s Greatest Hits. […]

    Radio Show Poster

    by
    I tried to make a poster that would represent our radio show.  I hope my teammates like it.  It was fun to do.  I searched for the perfect picture and then put it together using PowerPoint.

    Get A Clue: Design Project

    by
      This week for the design project I tried to go fairly minimalist. I really like the minimalist designs in general because I feel like they’re cleaner and just as powerful if not more so. I took the title of our show “Get a Clue” and started racking my brain for how I could possibly […]

    Leave It To Who?

    by
    I used Audacity and found the Leave it to Beaver theme song, and then searched freesound.com for some creepy music to infuse into it.I did this because, up until now, I’ve made Delilah seem picture perfect. But I used dark music because there’s a dark side Delilah’s been carrying with her since she left her … Continue reading Leave It To Who?

    Poetry Read Aloud a la The Great Gatsby

    by

    When I saw this assignment, I knew that I needed to read a poem from Robert Frost. He is my all time favorite poet. Additionally, when I saw that we needed to relate this to a story in some way I thought to create my own poem out of stanzas from others. It worked for a time but then I… Read more →

    Layla Throughout Her Day

    by

    I did the audio assignment where you mash together sounds to create your day. I decided that this would be a perfect one to incorporate my noir character. For simplicity’s sake, I chose to start her day from morning to when she went to bed. It gave me a nice kind of anchor. I began with an alarm clock waking… Read more →

    Bumper to Bumper

    by
    I made a new bumper for 2.5 stars because I wanted to improve upon my first one. I tried to give it the same sort of glitchy feeling, but I also used radio static to feel more natural. This way, it’s useable for old-timey or modern shows. I felt that my first attempt layered the Read More →

    #NoirWeThereYet Progress Report

    by
    #NoirWeThereYet is a tag/team name that we gave our group for the radio project.                 NoirWeThereYet first came about on Twitter.  Back on February 5th, Spencer and I had ideas about getting into a group together. This was just the beginning.  During the earlier part of this week,... Read more »

    Big Mama

    For our third listen-along session this week, we heard the Lux Radio Theater production of Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious. This was a little different from our earlier shows. Except for Moon Grafitti, all the others originated in written literature, although The … Continue reading

    The Spooky Hotel

    by
    http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/spooky-sounds/ (Four Stars) Scott Brinkmann’s hotel can be very scary at night! Here are some sounds you might hear while walking around the hotel. You could hear anything from footsteps, screams, and the howling wind to even ghosts! I thought this assignment would be good for my character’s hotel because hotels are notorious for being … Continue reading The Spooky Hotel

    DNA: A poetry reading

    by
    For my first audio assignment of the week I chose to the poetry reading assignment. It was pretty simple, not shocking given it’s only worth 1.5 stars. When I saw the assignment, I felt it would be relatively easy to find a poem that expresses who Isabelle Franklin is. She’s a scientist; she’s curious. Initially […]

    Scott Brinkmann’s favorite song 800% slower

    by
    http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/make-it-800-slower/ (Three Stars) This is “Girl Inform Me” by the Shins, it is Scott Brinkmann’s favorite song. It might be a little hard to recognize because it is slowed down 800%. To do this I took a song off of my iTunes and put it into Audacity. I then used the effect Paulstretch to slow it down. … Continue reading Scott Brinkmann’s favorite song 800% slower

    REDEMPTION

    by
    So when I did my sound effects story (3.5) for Delia people were saying that they didn’t know what was happening. I tried to clean things up in this one- spend less time on the soundscape and just put sound effects together for a clearer story. Here, a woman wakes up, yawns, showers, drives, enters Read More →
