1. Groom Ransom Note

For this TDC I made this:

I used Photoshop to make this image, combining a desk and a piece of paper with my own text to create a ransom note from the Athletic Dept. I chose to go this route with this because most of the …

On Tuesday night, I tuned into DS106 Radio to listen to Noir D&D, which was, from what I could gather, a recording of a board game being played (Sadly I missed the first couple of minutes where there was probably an explanation).

This was a wild radio show. Wild in …

By skinzer | March 1, 2015 |

Wednesday- Emojination

For this daily create, I had to create a story from a randomly generated set of emojis. I was under the impression that this story had to be within the twitter character limit, so mine is rather short, but I think it definitely encompasses what I was …

They Brainwashed Her

By skinzer | February 23, 2015 |

For this assignment (worth 4 stars), I had to make some spooky sounds using my own recordings and editing.

By skinzer | February 23, 2015 |

I love this song because of the major seventh chords. This was from memory, which …

Rockin’ Rockin’ Pet Store

By skinzer | February 23, 2015 |

This assignment, worth 3 stars, required me to record a solo vocal trio. I did this with “Rockin’ Rockin’ Pet Store” by The Mountain Goats.

Garageband, as usual, served as my recording software. I used guitar to keep my vocals on track. After recording all the parts, I realized …
