ds 106: Play DJ & Make A Song (again!)(4.5 stars)
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Back at it again with another song! This time I focused much more on making an ambient track rather than a fully fledged song, and I’m pretty happy with the end result. I wanted something that you’d hear as the backing music to a graveyard or haunted woods at night, and put together a bunch of different elements from all sorts of songs and tracks to come up with this piece. I based this off of an old music tournament submission I made a long time ago, and edited it heavily to make it more ambient and less of a ...
ds 106: Story time fun time (3.5 stars)
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
There are a lot of options in regards to telling a story. I could talk about anything, tell any sort of tale for this. What really inspired me was the idea of continuing off of a gif assignment I had completed last week. The story revolves around a monstrous dog like creature running rampant in a city that’s been sealed in, told vaguely through a corrupt automated message. I wanted it to be unnerving and hard to not pay attention to, like watching the news when something horrible is on. When you don’t want to see it yet you can’t ...
ds 106: Play DJ & Make A Song (4.5 stars)

I saw this assignment and immediately knew that I wanted to do it. I was inspired by a prompt from a discord server to “Introduce the listener to a space adventure”. I used an online sequencer called Modbox to make this song, which gives me all sorts of fun chiptune and retro sound fonts. I added a lot of white noise to the drums and background to give it some atmosphere and space, as well as a decent amount of reverb to the whole track. The process took me a lot longer than expected, and I wish I started working ...
ds106: Eat Your Hear Out Beethoven (5 stars)

I thought it’d be fun to make a cover of a song with a style that’s drastically different from the original. For starters, I’m not that big on Let Her Go, but my partner sure is and I thought it’d be a nice surprise for him and this class. I used a program that’s based off an online music sequencer known as Beepbox, the spinoff used known as Modbox. I got some help from my partner in getting notes correctly in a lot of parts, mainly the verses. I chose this program specifically for it’s customization and the fact that ...
Slowin’ it way down- Audio assignment 1423
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
The final audio assignment I did this week was 3 stars entitled “Make it 800% slower.” For this assignment you have to take a song and slow it down to make it sound almost like classical music. The example was U Smile by Justin Bieber. I decided to do Life Happens by Brandon and Leah. I was trying to figure out how to get a YouTube video into Audacity so I googled it. And this is what I found: Step 1: Install ClipGrab. First of all, you need to install ClipGrab . … Step 2: Copy the video link. … ...
Stalking Zac Efron- Audio Assignment 1665
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
The first audio assignment I did for the week had 3 stars. It’s called “Have a Phone Conversation WIth Yourself.” I started this assignment by typing up a transcript in word. This way I would have the just of what I wanted to say and what the topic of the phone conversation would be and then I could kinda add in some of my own words and emotions as I read the script. I first tried to record it on my phone with an app called Recorder. However when I then sent this to my email I was unable to ...
Fear of War- Audio Assignment 1551
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For my second audio assignment I completes “Emotions Through Sounds“. We had to use at least 4 sounds to convey an emotion. I decided to do fear and what I fear most is war. So I clipped together different war sounds; guns shooting, a man screaming in terror, planes flying, and background noise to make this environment. I overlapped the sounds and had the screaming happening first and then die out to represent either the person’s death or maybe his escape. I retrieved the sounds from freesound.org in order to make my audio assignment.
It’s Another Beautiful Day, Here in The Village!!

“It’s Another Beautiful Day Here in The Village,” animated GIF by @iamTalkyTina A little bird told me that Week Two for #prisoner106 is going to be Audio Week, and that Number 2 wants folks to make a lot of nice Good Morning Announcement Messages to play on the loudspeakers every morning when people are getting up and doing their ablutions and toast and stuff. So I decided that it would be a nice thing to make one for everyone to hear. Because of my voice and all. There are lots of examples of them in the episodes. Look for the ...
Rain Chimes

DS106 Sound Scapes, AudioAssignments, AudioAssignments970 The soundscape audio assignment really appealed to me. I sometimes listen to ‘voiceless’ music during the work day when I need to focus hard and not be distracted behind the meaning of words in songs. It also relaxes me and helps me enter a more meditative state. I figured, why not make my own soundscape? With all of the rain in Denver, Colorado, I decided to focus on water sounds. I typically enjoy the sound of a good rain shower. Since the requirements for the assignment were to use ‘found sounds,’ I like the idea ...
Reverse Audio Quiz

For another audio assignment, I chose to do the Reverse Audio Quiz (2.5 stars). It took me a while to figure out how to reverse a song on editing software, but once I moved from Garageband to Audacity the process was a lot easier since audacity simply has a “reverse” button under the “edit” section. For the song, I thought it would be cool to pick one of my favorites and see how different it sounded backwards. Funnily enough, I think it sounds kind of cool! The song is a sweet, simple and emotional little love song, and reversed it sounds actually ...
