This is a slight twist on the ds106 Sound Effects Story assignment- a short story done with only audio effects. Rather than use ones from a library, I mixed together a set of voice-less sounds I made or got from my surroundings.
The story first..
All of the sounds were recorded on my iPhone using the expensive and complicated (not, it is 99 cents) Griffin iTalk app. These included:
- Keys being picked up (rattled too) form table.
- House door opeing, foot steps, opening of car door, starting of car engine.
- Closing of car door.
- Ocean waves crashing (recorded earlier this week in St Petersburg)
- Plunking in water sound (made by dropping a bar of soap in a toilet)
It’s a five sound story!

Nice.
I am always amazed that the iPhone can capture sound so well.
I’ve pretty much left my Edirol mp3 recorder in the office. It is really good, but I have done most of my interviews and recording of my own sessions with the iPhone. It picks up sound from about 8-10 feet away.
[...] second audio is simply a version of 5 card story or my own 5X5 video formats. Alan has much better sound and more interesting sound but I like this idea and am going to have to play [...]
So was the plopping sound at the end the dude throwing his keys in the ocean, forsaking society and material wealth?
That’s one interpretation.
How di you know it was a “dude”? ;-)
