My secret mixter challenge came from Carosone’s body of work. I chose “Path of Glass” and “Space Journey.”

I was a little confused about having to use a pell from Lessig. Although we were encouraged to include his pell, he didn’t provide one.

So I decided to run with the ideas of May Day as a distress call, Morse Code, and Civil Defense.

From freesound.org, I used several samples:

46092_ifartinyourgeneraldirection_siren.wav
54084_guitarguy1985_civildefense.wav
54847_izkhanilov_morse-sos.wav
80761_fmagrao_siren.mp3
329436_daytripper_morsecode-sos-mayday-988-hz-tone.wav

Also in the mix is a brief audio sample of a narrator saying, “Now, the beat is tricky but still easy enough to get,” from a training video in the Prelinger Archive about the rhythm, or “hand” in sending Morse Code. “The United States Army presents TF 11 3697 International Morse Code Hand Sending.”
