This is the complete version of the final outcome. Advantage: For me, this attempt to compose is a brand new experience, and it broke many existing ways and notions of my work before. Firstly, the idea of my former work that choose the naturally existing things as symbols and imagery. Then, improvisation and composing many…

This is the improvisation of using the module synthesis. I like how these different abrupt voices and unexpected surprises come together which is the favourite thing in improvisation. Like adjusting different sound effects and buttons can make very delicate and beautiful voice variation. There are three drum and synthesis pieces that were made separately. I…

This week, I used the module synthesis to make some creative improvisations. There are four sound sources, two of which I used for the main sound and two for background and background noise. I haven’t used synthesis for improvisations before, which is very close to DJ. But it needs more attention and immersion. In Friday’s…

This week, we are getting closer to half-module and retro synthesis. While using the retro synth, I can directly know how two oscillators work together to make a sound. And these retro but classic effects are the basis of understanding the synthesis. I wanted to make a clean and crystal texture voice with some echoes…

Collage is something that I am always fond of, because it takes two completely different things together and sees how they spark.

After polishing and editing the final version of the script, we decided to finish the audio recording with all the team members. It is more difficult and challenging than I expected because we lack the coordination and cooperation and nobody lead the team at first. And this made me know we need to let someone…

In this assignment, our team is planning to make a retro radio crime and suspense drama. And I am in charge of the script and voice editing. The reason we chose suspense drama is that it could be more dramatic and expressive other than other genre. In the first attempt, I wanted to write a…

This is my first time to do foley recording. In the class we are asked to scream and use some materials to make the voice of fire. This is quite special in radio art because it used something totally different and irrelevant to vibrate to make some voice. The audience behind the radio or screen…

I caught a flu this week, and I thought there’s something that sickness and body will vibrate to make some sound to warn yourself about what’s going on with your organs, body and even carcass. It occurred to me that the sound from human body is just as the distortions from radios when my body…

I have never associated radio with gender and class before. But after the class, I reckon that there are indeed many connections among them. From my experience, the first impression of the radio can be date back to my childhood. It was the car broadcast that played music constantly. It was more like an entertainment…
