Frequency 2156, Can You Hear Me?

https://frequency2156.com/signal/40

Alright I don’t know why but I used the name Roger yet again for another assignment. I guess it’s just the name of the day. I chose this assignment because I was looking for something that would slowly introduce me into the audio assignments category. This was the perfect …

I made another Frequency2156 contribution as part of this assignment.

I wanted to tell a bit more about silo 17 beyond what Wool gives us. Now we know that the head of IT messed things up and why everybody bolted for the doors. This message also serves to create …

My first impression when opening Frequency 2156 was that the interface was super cool because it was interactive and included posts from all over the world. I must have had some bad luck because the first couple markers I clicked on were all super weird and did not make sens. …

I think that the creators chose audio as the medium because it gives the audience a greater sense of context to what is going on in the message. The way someone projects their voice through the audio messages tells you whats going on. The crowd-sourced audio does a great job …

Frequency 2156 is an awesome sight that collects different audio posts from all over the world and compiles them into one gigantic audio narrative. The idea is that the apocalypse has come and people worldwide are attempting to reach out and communicate with someone, anyone. Some of the posts I …

Why do you think the creators chose audio as the medium?

I believe it sets the tone of an apocalyptic world, because they would not have TVs nor internet. Radio signals can move across the world and is very reliable for communication.

How well does the crowd-sourced audio work …

Forreston Grade School Broadcast: https://frequency2156.com/signal/531

Creating my broadcast from Forreston, Illinois, was actually quite the adventure. After getting everything downloaded and ready to go, I had to think about how I wanted my broadcast to be. I don’t know what kind of apocalypse I’m in (it seems rather war-like from …

First off… this is reallyyy reallyyy cool! Love this site.  I think the creators chose audio as the medium because I think it allows the listener to create their own images of who is behind the voice and fully immerse themselves in the stories. I think adding video would distort …

Frequency 2156 was very interesting, I must say. Even though it was just a website that is very clearly fake, I couldn’t help but feel a little bit of impending doom actually waiting around the corner for me. I’ve never seen a digital project quite like this, and love how …

I thought Frequency 2156 was very interesting. I listened to alot of deep radio stations and lite hearted ones. One i listened to sounded pretty similar to the tweet along audio we listened to earlier in the week. But i did think ones were pretty creepy, one of our classmates …

The Frequency 2156 website is pretty cool overall. It tells a story through different areas of the world where people put in audio after what seems like the apocalypse. I think they did a good job because when you listen to different audios you get an image in your head …

My Frequency 2156 Submission

I decided to emulate a military emergency broadcast for our Frequency 2156 world’s radioactive state:

Behind the Scenes

I wrote up a script to read and recorded my audio using an external USB microphone into Audacity.

From there, I modulated my voice to sound radio-like …

I added my message to the radio on Frequency 2156 (after some interference prevented me from doing so for a long while):

The website could have enthralled me for HOURS (and it did for at least one). It is so interesting how everything is tied together under one “radio” and …

I spent a good amount of time exploring Frequency 2156. My opinion on the site is that it’s freaking amazing. I was instantly intrigued by all the radio dispatches and spent time listening to some. The entire site as a whole is a digital story made up of smaller …

I found Frequency 2156 interesting and very difficult. Audio is a nice choice since in the case of the apocalypse, I don’t think many of us would have the time or ability to watch TV. We’ll either be hiding or running.

The use of audio also allows the listeners to …

Hello everybody! This week I explored Frequency 2156. Frequency 2156 is a community based Internet radio from the post-apocalyptic future. Essentially, you can go around the world and listen to radio messages that people have published.

Thinking critically about Frequency 2156, I believe that the creators chose audio for …
