In our audio drama “The Netflix Big Foot” we sought to answer the research question of “How is it that binge watching has become so entrenched in our society today?” and to answer that we decided to create a semi-noir audio drama in the search for the “Netflix Big Foot”, the ultimate binge watcher. In […]
As a continuation of this weeks lecture and the discussion of textures in audio, I began to reflect on the effect movie samples add to music and how they increase its meaning. This mostly is relevant in Progressive Rock/Metal music i’ve found, but i’m sure it’s not limited too the genre (with remixes and the like). […]
This week’s lecture presented by Kyla Brettle on how to construct an audio piece with an emphasis on textures and how they are used to benefit the soundscape of the audio piece. Additionally the reading this week placed an emphasis on ‘perspective’ and how the camera can create artificial distance between the audience and the […]
My initiation post this week is more of a continuation from last weeks regarding textures in sound, however I find it relevant still in regards to the workshop exercise of using foley sounds to create an artificial environment. An example I wanted to analyse was Jeff Bridges Sleeping Tapes which he released and eventually did […]

In this final lecture of the semester we were asked to reflect on our growth as a media maker and as a student. Did we remain attentive throughout the whole semester, or did we fizzle out towards the end? In the graph shown below illustrates how all around while I did have growth, there is […]
In this weeks workshop we focused on an audio exercise using a ZOOM microphone and Adobe Audition, with a focus on how to use the audio software in edition to recording various textures based on the exercise of individual obsession called “Can I have your attention please?” In my audio piece, I imagined the idea […]
This weeks workshop was the final workshop for this semester and it was weirdly somber. We had two guests come in to review our rough cuts and to provide feedback on them. The feedback we received was from Jon, who overall gave us very positive feedback and useful criticism regarding our piece. The criticism we […]
The reading this week focused on the cultural phenomenon that is ‘fake news’ and ‘alternative facts’ and how we as a culture ended up at this point where expertise and experience are at odds with one another. The past election cycle was interesting as for many it was an exposure to the political system and […]
