Well this was kind of an embarrassing/funny assignment to do – I recorded myself singing the same opening verse, from Jeff Buckley’s “Hallelujah” 4 times.  I sang pretty much the same all four times (I’m no musical harmonizing sensation) but … Continue reading →

I felt that this week was partly easier than the last week. This because I didn’t have to set up as many accounts as I did this week. Also there was no learning curve for software for the design assignments … Continue reading →

Sound Effects Story Tell a story using nothing but sound effects. There can be no verbal communication, only sound effects. Use at least five different sounds that you find online. The story can be no longer than 90 seconds. Another example (by a UMW student): http://ds106.us/wp-content/audio/audio_story.mp3 I used GarageBand to try to recreate the scene ...

Watch today’s scottlo cast here   My reaction? good work today. Thanks for the tip about our upcoming radio show work. I hope that the radio show isn’t that much work as I have a busy week next week already. … Continue reading →

Autotune Something You’ve heard Carl Sagan. You’ve heard Bed Intruder. You’ve even heard Gardner Campbell autotuned. Now it’s your turn. Take something not typically musical and autotune it. I decided to AutoTune my voicemail for Janet Tyler because I have lost my voice and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to inflect enough ...

I did a little deviating from the original assignment, which can be found here. This could be like a deleted scene of when the H-BOMB hits and Henry is search for his wife but retracts his search because he remembers how miserable she made him. Wort...

So this assignment was called “The contest nobody could win” and we had to take 6 audio sound clips less than one second each.  So here are six song clips, some are pretty easy to guess but let’s see if … Continue reading →

DESIGN SAFARI For this assignment I chose to look at color, typography, balance, minimalism and function/purpose. This is a photo of the last remaining flower pen at the SAE Office. We originally had five pens and thought that such a vibrant color would help keep people for taking them. We were wrong. This is a ...

For this assignment, I want to try and tackle a sound story. I have learned A LOT about audacity this week. I stalled for the first 3 days just trying to be able to figure out how to load music … Continue reading →

“Choose a celebrity (this doesn’t have to be a film-star or a rockstar!) or otherwise famous person who you admire. Photoshop your face onto their body in a picture of them doing whatever it is you admire about them. If you want to be a singer when you grow up, put your face on the ...

So for this assignment we were supposed to record a journal entry we wrote as a teenager (I was 19)  and really capture the mood of it through effects. I recorded my entry on Garage Band, I’m and audio noob … Continue reading →

May I take your order? Using your best accent (whether it be Australian, British or southern, ect), pretend you are at McDondalds and order something off of their menu. Be picky! For example, a coke with no ice. This particular assignment makes me laugh for a few reasons: 1. Over the course of this weekend ...

For this assignment, I made a reading poster. Although Mr. Beemis had already been used as the main example, I found this picture of him looking so cute and excited and decided I could pass it up. Now, this assignment … Continue reading →

So in The Twilight Zone episode “The Midnight Sun” Mrs. Bronson goes completely cray because of the sweltering heat.  She takes one of Norma’s paintings of a waterfall claiming she can hear it and presses herself on to it. This … Continue reading →

So for this assignment we were supposed to download something that was normally autotuned and autotune it, I decided to choose a clip from The Twilight Zone episode “Time Enough at Last” It was actually really boring autotuned and you … Continue reading →

“Welcome to the Swap Shop! Try to sell the most interesting item you can think of! Go on and on about it, be silly and have fun with it! Have a friend be the radio dj ready for the call in and ask you lots of questions about your item. [You can also ask yourself ...

I opted to switch out a Design Assignment for this Animated GIF Assignment that can be found here. I’ve always had a slight obsession with tornadoes and in a strange way, I look forward to tornado season every year because … Continue reading →

For those of you that haven’t watched 30 Rock, there is a particular clip that I always found to be really funny….and then I threw it in with Bob Seger. This was the easiest audio assignment I’ve done yet, as … Continue reading →

“Compose a sound piece using only found sounds. Edit and mix the piece on any sound editing equipment and upload to soundcloud.” There are a lot of good sound bites in every episode of Twilight. Sound Scape assignment. Worth: 4 1/2 stars

Well this episode is a lot of obvious computer tips for people who don’t understand how computer files work.”Your buddy can work on the .wav” lol, best quotes from this show. Wow that was short.

That’s a pretty awesome opening to 012 LoDown. Well done, Scott. Anyhow, this sounds like it’s going to be a very productive episode. I’m excited. I’m a linux user! No one cares… Narrate my process? It’s kind of personal. How … Continue reading →

Whoa, this sounds different. Scott usually has this sort of deep, single toned voice, but today it’s a little lightweight and distant. Ha! he just himself droney. lol. Downloading is for suckers. I only stream. Jim Groom burn. I wonder … Continue reading →

Not much to say about this episode, it was kind of short and didn’t really go over very much. There was some talk about Obler, maybe I need to sleep and listen again in the morning. I’ll get back to … Continue reading →

Doctor Oblivion was/is/canbe Doc Groom? Yadontsay?! Flancy. Well, Scott, I agree that this is a lot of work for a 100 level course, but on the other hand, I’ve noticed that its very useful as a fast track to many … Continue reading →

Okay, he’s going to clarify what he meant by forming groups to work on something with people in the course. He’s also going to go over the audio assignments one by one. And now, suddenly, it’s mario. And trance? That’s … Continue reading →

Scott Lo taught a loosely connected ds106 type class while he was teaching in Japan? Scott Lo taught in Japan? That’s pretty cool. Oh, now he wants us to pay attention to the open-online kids. Maybe, maybe, Scott Lo. At … Continue reading →

I’m going to be honest, this episode was a bit of a ramble. A lot of talk of compression rates and types, stuff most people can learn from wikipedia in half the time. There was also a lot of background … Continue reading →
