Cell phone ring tones are typically of the following ilk: annoying noises, computerized “songs”, and clips from popular music. Spektral Orchestra is offering new options: ring tones that have been specifically composed to be ring tones.
The Chicago quartet is launching their “Mobile Miniatures” project this Saturday. They’ve tapped several composers to create mini-orchestral pieces that can be used as ring tones, alerts, and alarms on mobile devices. These mini-masterpieces offer “genre-defying sounds of Pulitzer Prize winners, Pitchfork.com chart toppers and next-gen composers”. You can hear many of them at the event which will feature live performances as well as iPad listening stations.
