ds106 ‘Make Noise from a Normal Sample’ #2
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I recently joined ds106 as an open participant, whilst conducting a very small scale micro-ethnographic study of ds106 as part of the Education and Digital Cultures (EDC) course (#mscedc). This is my second try at Make Noise from a Normal Sample. I recorded the original myself on my phone (although technically it’s kind of a sample of a sample)…can you guess what it might be?

I recently joined ds106 as an open participant, whilst conducting a very small scale micro-ethnographic study of ds106 as part of the Education and Digital Cultures (EDC) course (#mscedc). I’m new to all this, but trying my hand at a few of the assignments, such as Make Noise from a Normal Sample. I recorded the original sample myself on my phone…can you guess what it might be?

I recently joined ds106 as an open participant, whilst conducting a very small scale micro-ethnographic study of ds106 as part of the Education and Digital Cultures (EDC) course (#mscedc). I have been following along with week five of UMW Spring 2020 and was inspired while listening to ds106radio this week, and hearing everyone’s radio bumpers, to try my hand at the assignment. It’s my first go at making a radio bumper, and I used Logic and its built-in software instruments, together with the default text-to-speech voice on my Mac (“Daniel”). Despite its very short length, I found it quite difficult to produce something with the right ...
“These Are A Few of My Favorite”… Sounds!
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For this assignment from the assignment bank, I was to create an audio recording of four or five of my favorite sounds. This really got me thinking because I’ve never really thought about what sounds I actually like. I know what sounds I don’t like because every time I hear them I want to either pull my hair out or scream. Some of these are: nails on a chalkboard, metal scraping against metal (or a fork scraping loudly across a plate), fire alarms, alarm clocks, and so many more! As you can tell, I’m kind of picky and a lot of sounds ...
Could Musical Instruments Be Obsolete Within the Next 5 Years?

This is my response to the Sound Scapes assignment, worth 4.5 stars. I had to create a piece of sound using only “found sounds.” “Found sounds” is a very nebulous term, so I interpreted it to mean “sounds from objects I found around the house.” I went ahead and decided to create a song, because that is what I like to do. This whole song has a very metallic sound to it because most of the sounds were made with metal mixing bowls. I like to think this song was created when a hip-hop beat maker sieged and took control of ...
I Can’t Remember! A Conversation with Myself
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
When I was in elementary school, a girlfriend and I use to play this game where we’d have an on-going conversation about how we couldn’t understand why we never saw each other at piano lessons, even though they were always at the same time. It was silly and I’m not sure why it has stuck with me but, the memory… Read more → The post I Can’t Remember! A Conversation with Myself appeared first on Emily S. May.
Chaplin Foley Remix!
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This week, we were tasked with remixing some of the previous work of ourselves and other students from the Chaplin Foley assignment from weeks 6-7 and using them to remake the Charlie Chaplin clip for the Charlie Chaplin Foley Artist assignment. I chose to remake the clip using a mix of sounds from my classmates, trying to keep them all mostly based upon sound effects and not including any spoken words, hoping to make the clip a comedic adventure. To make the clip, I downloaded the sounds that I wanted to use from SoundCloud, the music from Incompetech and used KeepVid to download the film clip. ...
Shhhhhhhhhhhh!

Peace and Quiet by techsavvyed It’s the 4th of July here in the United States, a day to celebrate our independence, our freedom, but mostly in modern America what we celebrate is enjoying a little summer relaxation before the big fireworks show at night. Here’s a brief sound effect story for your ears that hopefully conveys my attempts to relax today. All of the sounds were captured by myself with the aid of my 19 month old son, and the voice memo app on my iPhone.
