0. Go with the Flow

1. Hide technology
2. Use your local resources (ex: New School facilities)
3. Collaborate because I am not the jack of all trades
4. Make an effort to hang out with those you collaborate
5. Emotions and attitude is contagious so watch yourself
6. Laugh as a team, and laugh at yourself
7. Probe into other people's culture including their music and play list
8. When asked how it was made, light yourself up and call it "magic"

150 Word Thesis Update

My deliverable thesis is a series of audio collaborations. These collaborative projects are important to me because documenting the process will provide a diary of production. It includes documenting laughter, frustration, and ideas. These collaborative projects are important to others because my sound design benefits the New School Radio station, the Sheila Johnson architectural space, and the web space ipodcarol.com.  My goal is to provide the sound design and quality to every project I touch.

It is important to have fun during the process, but my trajectory is a documentary story telling audio reel of  my collaborative sound projects that communicate personality, process, and imagination. By turning my projects into a story telling sound reel, I can effectively organize information. This allows us to share our lives, ethics, and information. The goal is to entertain, to inform, and to educate. 

DJAntiwar is suspended by twitter

DJantiwar is suspended by twitter yesterday evening. I wrote twitter and told them how it's a twitter concept that I am excited about. This concept promotes antiwar music and bands. It's a good concept because there are people interested in hearing conscious lyrics.

WriteMyStory Seeking Collaborative Fiction Writing - 2nd Attempt

www.twitter.com/writemystory

For producing my thesis, I am seeking to collaborate with writers to create  fiction story. With this story, I will plan to sound narrate it. These sound file will live through podcasting. There is a continuous relation with the podcast story that is generated from Write My Story and the twitter community. By creating a twitter concept I can encourage a themed interaction.

 
 

Why make it collaborative? To share the creative process amongst others and to accept writing is not my strength, but idea generating is my strength. The purpose is to publish open source imagination through sound.

Why fiction?  It has less boundaries and therefore room for creative audio designs.

Why podcasts?  It is a deliverable product I can put in the the consumer's hands.

Why  this project is useful? Exercises imagination and provides quality entertainment value

Who will this project matter to? People who own Ipods and enjoy audio books or narrations

Where does the RSS feed live? Probably here

Will I use voice over artists? Yes, but I need writers first.

How will the audience react to the audio stories on their ipods? I predict the audio story will entertain.

What is the reward or feedback? The user will be drawn into another imaginative world.
