For this Audio Assignment I had to choose a song that triggers a memory for me and describe what the memory is. It took me awhile to figure out which song I wanted to use. So many of my memories are associated with either songs or smells. I went through my ipod playlist and happened upon the song “Drops of Jupiter” by Train. I listened to the song and just let my mind wonder. I ended up visualizing myself back on a military base swimming pool in California, reminiscing about my summer youth.

I chose to do my introduction by playing part of the song, pausing to describe my memory, and then resuming part of the song. I used Audacity and Youtube for this assignment. I had Audacity opened in one window and Youtube in another. I started playing the song on Youtube while recording in Audacity, then I paused the Youtube song to talk about my memory, and then continued playing the Youtube song.
