Part I
Okay, last week we worked with the Audacity program and a million free sounds. I loved it!! I am attempting to post my sound bite from class. I titled the sound bite 'waking up' I spliced a microphone tapping to begin, then a coffee pot perculating with some blues underneath, which eventually fades into a group of people talking. I played around with the multple layers for effect as well as fading in to certain parts. It is not Mozart but really fun to mess around with.
Part II
Okay so I couldn't figure it out, but I saw that "Silver" had a sound bite on his blog, so I will be asking him how to post sound. But in the attempts to figure this out, I had an idea for a class that I wanted to pursue. My vision is to teach an entire semester around composing with audio This American Life(sque)and then have the University radio station play them or at least the best ones, um contest style or something. I think Angela and I are attempting to pilot a "New Media" class, keep your fingers crossed.

Oh, yes!! Brilliant! And Randy Jolly has been asking for good student work of the radio! This is *exactly* the kind of thing we need to be doing!! Wow!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I see presentations, articles, and a dissertation churning out of this stuff, too.
Bump Halbritter is one of the names in comp most directly concerned with sound. Not enough going on in this area, but he'll be here tomorrow for you to chat with.
Propose something on this for the next CCCC! It'll be in Louisville, KY, which should be an inexpensive trip. I think this would be *very* well received!!
