I Got Wired At…

  I’ve created this for our radio project “Wired Buyers” where we focus on product placement.  One of the commercials I’m making is for Proposition Joe’s appliance shop.  Even though it’s really called “John’s Radio and Television” in the show, I took the liberty of changing it here. I included …

This sound was made from various sound that I found on freesound.org. I also used the Audacity software to trim, and adjust the volume of the different sounds in each file. Finding them was not too …

Goodnight, Sobotka.

Ah, episode 12 of season 2 was rough. It was hard to see another season and another case come to an end. I first watched the episode without the commentary. I mean, that only makes sense, right? Overall, the episode was great just like last season. A lot of things …

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 …

Can you hear me now?

Audio week was a little more difficult and time consuming because I had to get used to GarageBand and Audacity, as well as explore new outlets to work with. I worked with my group on our project a bit though and made a banner for our group, as well as …
