Part of my BA (Hons) Audio Production  degree course at University of Lincoln. In our Electronic Music Production module we had to put together a short piece of audio – a "sound design" or music piece, created from sounds, rhythms, musical parts, textures and samples we created ourselves using software instruments, processing and sequencing. The piece could either stand alone or could be used to accompany images and/or video in a visual-media product.

We chose to do a '70s Cop Show Theme and this is it.

Enjoy

'70s Cop Show Theme

An exercise as part of our undergraduate degree in Audio Production. 
In small groups we were given a script and the title music of star wars and made to record and edit the piece using cool edit pro software. It was a simple fun beginners exercise allowing us the chance to play with the effects and just get used to the software.
Unfortunately some audio got distorted slightly along the way and we were out of time to re-record it.

Star wars student fun

Brayford Radio, a brand new student-led internet radio station from the University of Lincoln hosts a Student's Union Show once a week where Brian Alcorn speaks with a member of the executive committee a week at a time to ask about what the SU is currently doing to represent students and to clarify who the SU actually is and why the student population should take an interest.

In this episode, Brian talks to SU President, Jennine Fox about: 
- the smoking referendum taking place to propose the introduction of smoking zones on campus
- the by-elections regarding the campaign to elect two new part-time officers - a Groups Officer and an Officer for Students and what those roles entail
- the struggles the SU faces in getting students to vote
- the Snowflake Ball (a winter ball which has lacked in recent years but is being relaunched in 2012 with Tinchy Stryder headlining)
- Andrew Twagira's (VP Welfare & Diversity) 'Housing Horrors' campaign to coincide with Halloween to highlight common student accommodation issues and to seek support and representation regarding this
- Further discussion into student accommodation
- University services available to students (legal advice, financial advice, etc)

University of Lincoln Audio Production Level 2 Radio and Sound module - Live Show

Guy Elsam as Broadcast Assistant (BA)

A 30 minute live show on Lincoln community radio station, Siren FM, based around the topic of gap year travel.

The live show featured packages, vox pops, interviews (live and pre-recorded), relevant music and comedy packages.

This show was marked by academic staff as well as the Head of BBC Lincolnshire, Charlie Partridge and  a 1st class mark was awarded.

Bridging the gap

This is the first group project we had to undertake in our Audio Production course. We had to do a creative soundscape and were given a lot of creative freedom in terms of theme and context. We decided to do a 1st person re-enactment of the Second World War, and this is the final product.

The piece begins with our protagonist dreaming of home, of pleasantry and of better times. He is suddenly woken into reality as an air raid siren starts up and Winston Churchill begins one of his famous speeches. The soldier then runs to receive orders from his commander before making the final push into German front lines where eventually a grenade explodes beside him to finish him off.

Brayford Irish Hour 10-12-12

This is a soundscape I, along with 3 others, made as part of my Audio Production course at University. Unlike the last soundscape we made, this one had to be pieced together entirely from original recorded tracks, i.e., no samples or similar were allowed. 
Our piece, entitled "Exam Stress", detailed an exam candidate's emotions as he enters an exam hall and sits an exam. The clock and the heartbeat heightens the tension throughout.

EXAM STRESS Soundscape

This is a cover song we recorded in a group at university for a project. We each then had to attempt to do a mix down of the raw recordings. I am a first year Audio Production student at University of Lincoln and the editing process and software is still very new to me so please forgive the poor quality and poor editing technique. This is my first attempt, I trust that given time and practice I will look back at this and laugh!

The song is "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World
