Mimsy Borogoves

“All Me In The Scene” was a fun audio assignment where you do all the voices.  In this poem by the great nonsense writer Lewis Carroll, I was the narrator as well as the old man congratulating our hero on a job well done.  I attempted to add some drama, …

Real On The Wire

For my last Audio Assignment I chose the 3 1/2 star “Recite an Original Poem”. I chose to approach a summation of what The Wire is constantly reminding us. The overall message implied one should walk away from this series with. The game here is one of many levels, replicated …

Something Wicked This Way Comes

“Spooky Sounds” – This was the best audio assignment EVER!  Perfect for upcoming Halloween.  I had my 7-year-olds listen as I kept making it spookier and scarier.  They totally loved helping and offering criticisms along the way.  This time I wanted to have background music, based on a suggestion from …

“Their Finest Hour”

This is my rendition of the audio assignment “Remix A Song With Some Speech”. I love old westerns, particularly the ones that Elmer Bernstein scored, so I knew I’d use one of my favorites which is the theme he wrote for “The Magnificent Seven”.  It’s a rousing, heroic piece so …

The Final Frontier

An original poem related to the theme of my blog? I like it. For another audio assignment, I decided to tackle this prompt. Since my blog has a very heavy space theme, and one of the main topics in general is art, I decided to relate how the cosmos …

My Personal 5 Greatest Hits of Bruno Mars

I once said, “Every girl is beautiful and perfect just the way they are.” I really do mean that. Every time I see a girl, they can either be cute, pretty, beautiful, or all the above. To me when I want to go talk to one while I’m in my …

Deprived of Sleep?

My third Audio assignment was “FlickrSounds” a 1 1/2 star assignment. I decided to do snoring as my picture / sound collaboration as that is the sound that I presently hear and envy so much right now! I was lucky to find a man snoring carefree of those around him, …

The Greek

For this assignment, I did an epigraph from The Wire, season 2 episode 12.

Business, always business

I love this quote, it really sums up The Wire, and it similar to “it’s all in the game”

 

Process:

I just watched the episode and found times where people said …

1000 Cans of Whoop @$$

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/swap-shop/

This was a fun one to create. I used the sound recorder on my computer and a basic headset. However, unlike other recordings, I grabbed my brother to assist me with this one while I was at home. After going over the assignment, he was ready to help.
