Designing your ideal ringtone
|
|
| xx-google@telefog.com 2007-03-18, 10:33 am |
| I'm continuously stunned at the
dreadfulness of cellular ringtones,
so I'd like you to consider the matter
from scratch. Describe the ideal
ringtone for a grownup's cellphone.
Assume that the ring cycle would
last for 30 seconds (after which
calls go to voicemail), and therefore
that the ringtone would repeat as
necessary during the cycle (for
example, a 6-second ring would play
5 times in the 30 seconds). Please
view the 30-second ring cycle as a
blank sound canvas onto which you can
paint any combination of sounds and
silence.
I think that we haven't considered
ringtones in great detail because we've
always assumed that we're limited to
the options offered by our cellphone's
manufacturer or service provider.
Please describe (specifically or
generally; completely or partially)
your ideal ringtone.

The red phone sound from the movie Our Man Flint.
And I've got it on my phone. :)

The "continental" ringtone, used as the default for years on dozens of
models of Motorola phones, is my ideal. It sounds like a 1970's electronic
warbling desk phone ringer - loud, noticeable, and not dependent on
extreme high or low frequency response of the phone's speaker in order to
be audible. I put it on every new phone I acquire.

I take clips from 70's hits (usually intros). Right now I've got the intro
from The Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive. More fun ones: Ring My Bell, Call Me
(Blondie), Boogie Nights, Boogie Fever, Superstition (Stevie Wonder). One I
like to use during morning production meetings is "I believe In Miracles
(You Sexy Thing). haha! But usually in meetings, I have it on quiet
setting which is a cricket chirp.

The opening cacophony from Pink Floyd's "Time". Or any one of several
from Trans Siberian Orchestra.

All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several rounds of
ammunition emptied into them, not left for dead at the bottom of the
cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any accompanying
celebration, will be deferred until after the aforementioned disposal.
