Audacity class

There as an exercise what I made at Nuno Correias digital audio course.
We used Audacity program. First thing was recorde a voice, then optimize it. My idea is not so creative, but for my very first sight on Audacity I cant took too big thing to do. Hope there is information for some people anyway - Why choose Interactive Media and Knowledge Environment at Tallinn University. Final mp3 file is saved by Audacity project, where I mix voice and two tracks music piece.
I used free downloaded music by AnalogX, a Moments and a World of Magic.
I used in mixing multiple effects, like: normalize, equalize, remove noise, bass boost, echo, fade in and fade out. I cutted the audio line slices and copy some parts of it.
As a graphic designer i really enjoy this picture of audio as i say so. Its good to see, that audio can modified like material.

Internet activism? Maybe it works by sending an e-mails too not only on webpages. I have experience to see things happen and change by the people who in mail lists when everybody is coming to talk about something. For example in kindergardens parents list.
And also come in my mind Edgar Savisaar SMS campain, when lots of people in Estonia got SMS with text:"Rise and Shine". I guess it was in the morning of voting day. About this was talked a lot in the web too.
Maybe its good if people is more active in the net. Maybe we can say, that there is internet passivism too, when people dont react on talks in forums and some awful things and accidents had happened in world.

I had a time to read the book at home, what Mauri suggested: Dan Gillmor´s "we the media". ISBN 0-596-10227-5
Few words about book: grassroots journalism, everyones media, storytelling, media at little cost and (in theory) with global reach - and i´m going to read ahead. Author is journalist, who left his job in office and started to making own news as a web publisher. He says: if you dont like these news what offered in tv and newspapers, make them yourself. All of the new newsmaking is possible because the Internet. We live in a great new era. New media is not so bad sentence, beacause the word new marks that this is always new, always in movement. There I am surprise myself, its my third blogtext at all. Lets mediate! Imm-mediately!

i have quick view to online article

McLuhan's concept of "media".

There is lots of ideas for me, what is interesting. Like "hot" and "cool media". And the meaning is "opposite way". Hot is this what man can receive calmly - like listening the radio. Cool media is this where we take a more active position, like watching television.
By using media there is cool sentence from McLuhan: "People describe the scratch but not the itch." Its true, the reason is not the first thing coming in our mind, the effect is stronger.
We understand media depends of our background, knowledge and opinions. McLuhan: Each media "adds itself on to what we already are", realizing "amputations and extensions" to our senses and bodies, shaping them in a new technical form. As appealing as this remaking of ourselves may seem, it really puts us in a "narcissistic hypnosis" that prevents us from seeing the real nature of the media.
For me, the medium of typography is best known. Depends of my graphic designer work. Actually there is lots of different languages in media, each with own systems and structures. Signs is everywhere. If we understand and can create connections between different fields of media - to mediate - the media is making visible what is invisible.

Hi everyone in media course!
