Record yourself reciting different sections of a novel to quickly give the jist of the story or a subplot. They can be bits of dialog or exposition, but make sure they're spread throughout the novel, so you're getting a full storyline. Add music or sound effects in the background if you want, just make it engaging!

Take an existing piece of mucis and and change the instrumentation. This could mean taking an a capella piece, and turning it into a piece for string quartet, or taking a beethoven piece and adapting it for electric guitar bass and drums. You could even take the alma matar and turn it into a bag pipes piece (im sure the school would love that). Once you've change up the piece, try playing it, blog about your choices and the thinking behind them, or post a recording on soundcloud.

Now that we have a #ds106 radio up and running creating a 15 to 30 second bumper for the station. What is a bumper? It is a short recording that identifies the radio station with signature music or an expression that makes sure the listeners know what they are tuned into (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumper_(broadcasting)). So for ds106 it should certainly include "DS106 Radio" and some sort of message about the station with voice over music.

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

Someone was kind enough to make a "David Lee Roth - Running with the Devil Isolated Vocal Track" (You can download it with right-click, Save Linked Content As. It may be slightly different depending on your OS & browser) We can't let that effort go to waste. Mix Diamond Dave's vocalizations with another audio track - music, interview, conversation, whatever - to make something new and amusing. There are a couple remixes of it out there already. Someone even made a soundboard out of it. What can you do with it? Do Dave proud.
