When his sunset appears in her timeline
It’s sunrise on her horizon
The very spark that fills her heart
A light through the day, before chimera enlightens the dark

Super interesting week with DS106. Went out of my comfort zone with these assignments but had more fun with this one than I thought I was going to. I really tried to simulate that I was a radio director and tried to really sound as though I was that fun …
Sounds and different audios drive stories because it evokes emotion, creates scenes, and can even give us a sense of place and personality of characters. A story can be so much more powerful with background and different noises throughout. For example, in the Moon Graffiti soundcloud the story teller starts …
