[youthradioleaders] sound rich audio pieces

[Megan Martin]

Hello Youth Radio World,

I need a little bit of help from y'all.  I am looking for some good examples of sound rich audio--specifically pieces that demonstrate different uses of sound (ambiente sound, music, voice, signature sounds that symbolize a place, a feeling, a change in time).  Have you used a particular piece(s) as an example with the youth you work with to show the myriad of ways sounds can enrich an audio piece?  

I'm working with a Spanish-speaking group.  So any pieces that you might know of in Spanish would be particularly welcome.  But great sound rich pieces in English (or any language) work too, as I can make them translated scripts to follow along.

Thanks in advance,
Megan

Subject: [youthradioleaders] Fresh Greens 2.0: Send Your Stories!


Hello youth radio world!

New Hampshire Public Radio, Generation PRX and Terrascope Youth Radio are teaming up again to create our second Fresh Greens radio special.  We're inviting youth producers everywhere to contribute stories on things they find surprisingly green...or disappointingly not.  

While some things trumpet their green credentials (hybrid cars, compostable spoons), others really don't seem green at all (that old clunker that's still on the road), but whether it's green washing or an assumption, we want to know:  What's truly green, and what's just posing as environmentally friendly?  And what doesn't seem eco at all...but actually is? 

Consider what you buy and where you work, as well as your habits, friends and neighborhoods, and tell us:  What's unexpectedly green?

Early bird submissions due August 30th, 2010. 

Fresh Greens 2.0 will broadcast in time for Earth Day 2011.  Because we hope that summer youth radio programs will contribute, we’ve established a special early bird deadline - but everyone is welcome to send stories early!  Early submitters are eligible for pre-broadcast on NHPR's daily Word of Mouth program.  Groups whose pieces are chosen for inclusion in Fresh Greens 2.0 will receive $100 in gratitude for their work.  Details attached.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Jones
