Haiku: Here In My Room (Portfolio Version)

Tried moving things around to make it clearer that its a dorm room.

Any comments?

Audio Portrait: Lying (Portfolio Version)

Hopefully this will be the portfolio version of 'Lying'

Please point out any glaring errors, enjoy.

Car Chase Story: Magical Up All Night Edition

Twelve heart attacks later, heres my new draft.

Another lonely night in the media room. Still far from done but infinitely better.

Comments, suggestions, praise, scorn?

I edited down the story to under 4 minutes and still managed to keep the naked man part, yay. Unfortunately I'm still struggling with it.

I wanted to incorporate the idea of me going back to school and seeing how everything has changed with how Mr. Pittman has changed, yet still remained the same. But i bit off more than i could chew and i had too much tape to go through and didn't know what direction to take this to get to that direction.

What I do know is I'm going to work in more noises, I'm going to hopefully record my friend Matt in his car off campus tuesday to get some more liveliness to the story itself. Comments on what might be a good way to take this now that length isn't an issue would be helpful.

Also Stephanie (Rowden) I've been feeling ill since Festifools yesterday and am not going to be in class today, I would like some guidance from you figuring this piece out though.

Car Chase Story Edit

Rough edit down of 'The Car Chase Story', I haven't normalized or done anything special with this, just cut it down crudely.

normally this story runs over a half hour I had him tell it in 8 and now its been cut down to five.

Let me know what you think in the story is expendable and what isn't.

Not sure if I'll stay with this, If i do i will be adding myself talking about the person telling it and sound effects will be added.

This is a very crude draft right now.

Haiku Rough Final

I didn't get a chance to make this all nicely mixed in the Multimedia room yet but i feel like I made some improvements. I gutted the cellphone and vocal part (much to my displeasure) managed to get some birds finally and put those in. Lastly THE FRIDGE BUZZ IS INTENTIONAL, when i wake up the thing always seems to go on within a minute so I recorded it going on and mixed it in as much as people might not like that it is part of the room.

Here In My Room, Here In My Room

The moment when you wake up just before your alarm clock.

This is pretty close to finished. Any suggestions?

Dawn of the Dorm (Draft)

My dorm early in the morning when i wake up before my alarm goes (approx. 6:30AM) I want to get some better bird sounds so if you have any tips on getting birds send it my way.

Lying (Final-esque)

Final version, i might want to log in some more time after this gets critiqued but It is a lot better than the previous incarnation.

Audio Portrait (Take I)

I'm planning on re-recording parts of this with Mike, possibly get him actually lying to someone worked in there, and add an Intro explaining whats up with Mike and Lying.

What outside elements (music, sound effects, etc) could work to improve this? SHould anything (besides the roar) be removed to strengthen this?

List Project II

Are we getting til monday to continue this project or is this it? I feel I'm mostly happy how this one turned out, i felt after group debate that this was the one to continue with.

List Demos

I came up with 3 ideas, immediately scrapped one, and now i have these two.

First one i want to redo the vocals in a more machine-like tone and not use the effects so heavily, hopefully i can get the loop to be smoother as well. I'm also aware i accidently repeated several of the words too.

Second one only sounds good on headphones, mixing will be better next time and i forgot to reveal the lists name at the end, it is: Stuff in My Closet.

Which one feels like it has more potential, and what can i fix up in either?

Final Journey Project Submission

Still one or two clicks i noticed upon playing it on max volume. If more stuff pops out to me when i play it through my speakers i might edit some of it before class. I had a near heart attack thinking i left my USB with the completed version in the Dude at 1am, fun stuff.

Journey: Second Draft

The computer room was locked when i tried to use it so i once again did everything in audacity so its still kind've rough particularly in the mixing. I tried a more frantic version before and ended up scraping it.

Journey: First Draft

This was thrown together in Audacity very very last minute, this is what i get for letting 4 classes worth of Homework pile up.

The computerized bits are supposed to be (and are actual) facebook posts, i haven't figured a way to segue into that yet or if i should scrap that part altogether. I want to get a second voice to be Ichi on the phone with me. I'm also trying to figure out a way to differentiate the dialog and the 'thoughts' that talk to the narrator from each other, maybe an echo or something...

Please keep in mind this is atrociously mixed and rough, i don't think i even listened to it all the way through once it was put together...

Rough Journey Story

I keep recording lots of rough journey stories & none of them are clicking. So here is a fragment of one of better recorded ones. I'll be busting move on finding a story to work to perfection this weekend.

New Years Eve & Other Stories

A Friends Story of how they spent their New Years

The Tale of How Pirates Got Their Eyepatches. One of My first recordings the volume sort of shifts around and this was done in the cafeteria so...

I gave my friend Ishan a day to come up with a story, it turned out overly dramatic and i had to record it over the phone but here is a snippet.

First Post Sound Recording

Simple recording from my room when a Hallmate was playing guitar. I forgot to check my levels, so its quiet.
