What happened to Carl?!

(I had meant to post this on the day this was assigned but I forgot, so here it is!) This day was very special because simply my parents had bought me Popeyes for me and my roommate while on my way back down to UMW at the conclusion of fall break. Popeyes is one of […]

Carl loved his gaunt cat that most people called a tiger. This tiger’s name was Eye. Many people made the joke and sang the eye of the tiger to him everyday. One Eye was very upset. You see he was tired of people breaking into his enclosure and putting Eye of the Tiger on repeat. […]

 

The next Audio Assignment that I chose to do was Make it 800% Slower, where our task was to slow down a track to the point where it becomes ambient. The song that I chose to do for this is... Continue Reading →

The first audio assignment I chose to do this week was So and So’s Greatest Hits. Due to the fact that I’ve been listening to a lot of Blink-182 lately, I figured they were a perfect group to create a greatest... Continue Reading →

My Radio Commercial Kings Dominion’s Halloween Haunt was the highlight for my commercial. Of course, it is connected with the theme of Mary Hauntington Radio because its…Halloween time! Time for scary, spooky, stories and places! I absolutely love Kings Dominion at this time of year and I think that is why I really chose to […]

I thought this assignment would be interesting to complete. I grew up learning and trying a lot of new things. I tried many instruments before I realized I was not picking up how to read the notes on the staff. The beat I down but playing the notes, I was never right. I finally picked […]

Daily Create 1002: Your weird and wonderful DS106 letterhead I decided to google storytelling pictures and ended up picking the film strip. I then opened up MS Word and clicked on “Insert Header” and added the picture and clicked ok. After adding the picture to the top of the page, I inserted word art which […]

When I read this assignment directions, I instantly had an idea. Now me and my best friend have a lot of adventures, especially now that we are 21. There is one sound that will always make us happy. I can make this sound anywhere in the house and I know she will come running to […]

This was a fun project. Right now my friends and are preparing for the school’s annual lip-sync. We have placed every year and we want to take gold this year. When I came across this assignment I was so happy. I was already working on changing music this just happened to be sorta what I […]

I have always loved amusements parks like Disneyland or King’s Dominion since I was little.  With this audio assignment, I really tried to capture the feeling of being fully immersed in the sounds and atmosphere that you would expect to find in one of these parks.  I incorporated various sounds from common theme park rides such...

This an old video I had of my old roommate and this little kitten we found. We kept him for about 3 months before finding him a new home. He loved to climb up and kiss you on the mouth.     He was a weird cat. He also really enjoyed wearing his dress and […]

I love music and when I was looking through what assignments I could do I came across one called music tag. This one was very challenging because I had to take 5 songs and combine part on them with a connecting word. First, I thought of some songs that would overlap and I looked up […]

For today’s daily create, we were to make a sound bite of our last words. I went with an idea I got from a T.V. show. I said, “It was no accident, suspect everyone”. I think the idea of making these my last words would be funny and my take the …

When I first saw the assignment to dub sounds for a Charlie Chaplin film, I was nervous. I could think of enough sounds that should go in each sequence, but I didn’t think I could create said sounds. I didn’t... Continue Reading →

I’ve already written up a tutorial for this assignment, so that post will speak more to my technical process of creation. I want to write about my creative process in this segment! So, I saw this sort-of accent challenge in... Continue Reading →

So it’s official. I am now a producer of a radio show. I love radio. I have listened to Howard Stern religiously for the past 25 years and while I never desired to get into the business, I certainly appreciate the lengths at which he goes to in order to entertain us on a daily basis. […]

Upon reading the title of this post, you might be going “what the heck?” I don’t blame you. Basically, the first, four-star assignment I chose from the Assignment Bank was to create a Spooky Soundscape that’s a little over a... Continue Reading →

Initially, like Professor Pollack mentioned in an earlier post–almost four weeks ago, wow!–some students “dread” the audio portion of this course. I certainly wasn’t dreading the subject–not at all, actually. As I mentioned in my earlier week four post, I... Continue Reading →
