In the UK Cell phone/ring tones outsold 'singles sales. At the moment, some major record companies are encouraging people to compose ring tones as opposed to 60 minute albums. Is this good if you have to use a GM pallete to force creativity or....do you need to wait for sample based tunes..... or would you prefer to download an idea..........or would you prefer to buy a track? |

i just assumed they were all pirated. i didn't learn until a few weeks ago that they weren't free. people here love their ringtones. as far as making music for cell phones, there's some decent music made on Gameboy programs. it's good for a novelty but i'm sure it grows old for the artist. i'd never buy anything that was made for a cellphone and if i downloaded it i'd probably listen twice and never again. |

unfortunately they are big and ANNOYING as hell. i hate some ring tones from the first note. i have my cell on vibrate all the time as it's a work requirement....however even off work i keep it that way. cell phones are annoying enough without annoying Beethoven tones ringing in a weird key and ruining the song for me......i actually heard a country song on one the other day and i nearly dropped some coffee on the person accidently on purpose j/k.....anyway i hate the sound of ringing phones....it makes me think of telemarkers...the BANE of my existance....meh |

Warp are asking for new compositions........ I'd like a fun ring tone if I ever answered my phone, but the kids love silly mellodies. |

ringtones are big in the Netherlands too. sadly. we have whole commercials (thankfully only in the middle of the night), showcasing ringtone after ringtone. yes a whole tv programme filled with annoying tinny ringtones. ugh. |
||||||||
|

on the other hand, you have an electronic piece called "dialtones", composed completely out of ringtones and general phone sounds. I have the cd - it's pretty amazing. it came out on Staalplaat - |

that is sick. |

My cell phone is 'off' all the time. I only use it if I'd like to contact someone. You know what kids are like.... it's fun if you're down with a certain thing. Recording companies are 'on it' NOW! finding the next ringtone hit.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
i think ringtones are big in every 1st world country.. they're appreciated but for non-cellphone addicts they're no big deal (or sometimes like lecoeur said really annoying). i bet warp would do a good job at making some ringtones but really i'd much rather they concentrate on that spectral musicians cunningham DVD or a new compilation album. |

i just learned now that they aren't free. a ringtone hit.............wtf man, seriously......wtf :( |
||||||||
|
|

|

i guess if there is money to be made, go for it.....but as for me i'd pay for QUIET damnit.....i use my phone as a necessity.....not a crutch like some peepz. on a bus ride from BWI to DC a guy called everyone on his list cos he was bored.....only problem was i had to listen to the same boring story about 15 times. why do people feel the need to call people every second of their lives....like they can't stand peace and quiet for 30 minutes.....don't they realize how annoying it is for strangers to have to listen to mindless chit chat......uughghhgh i have a love/hate relationship with my cell phone......as you can see |

I wish 100%!!! Chris's DVD will be available in a few months, he finished the final bits at the lightworks the other week. I really don't knoe=w where I stand with this ringtone nonsense.. I'll maill you an mp3 of some new b demo when I wake up.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't tell me things until you've done it, it's not nice.. anyway that's good to hear about the dvd, i've been looking forward to it |

one of my teachers made an interesting point about the popularity of mobile phones - one of the consequences is that the line between public space and private space blurs. you can hear the most private conversations being held, while standing in a crowded bus. weird. |
||||||||

what if warp became famous because of their ringtones. and they were mentioned like this- "warp, the leader in ringtones. a company that started out with small techno acts..." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's so true. i always listen in on people's calls when they pass by or start chatting on their phone when i'm nearby. they have it coming. usually it's totally boring and innane but sometimes there're some funny bits. it's mindboggling some of the things people will speak in public so long as it's "on the phone." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd send it now but it's in four parts...... it'll take me an hour to compile it..... I'll write it down now, you'll have it tomorrow. It's a pure demo so don't start giving your opinion yet! tomorrow.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i totally agree.....i've heard some SERIOUS shite on peoples PRIVATE calls.....cos they are talking loud enough for everyone to hear. sometimes i just stare in the hopes that they'll realize that people can hear them talking about cheating, their son's bedwetting, etc.....i mean really....these things should not be talked about in a crowded airport in front of lots of people who would rather not hear about your personal and private ordeals.....i'm totally floored sometimes.....people really have forgotten what it means to be polite! grrrrrrrrr |

OMG thanks so much for sending it, it's teh awesome!!!! ;) as i said.. don't make promises you can't/won't keep (put yourself in my shoes for a minute) |

My phone says "This is going to make you freak duhduh"...only problem is I have started answering it doing the "duh du doo duh du du du" it's like an auto reaction. My phone is cool...WAV ringtones, gameboy and NES emulator and just just upload pictures and things for wallpaper...all free and lovely :D |

It's on it's way.... |
||||||||
|
|

|

what am i going to do with it..? i think anything you email will be bounced back.. graffiti.net doesn't handle mp3's well. i can give you an ftp address if you like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's gone now.... it did a bleep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
?! good ol' bleep techno.. well, it hasn't arrived yet.. i think i've only successfully received an mp3 by that email address once unfortunately it's ok. how's it going anyway? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good! but stressed!! I'm buying a new house, got some live things to sort out and fannying around. How's things for you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

the new one is 400 years old! It's 1/2 a mile from where I live at the moment but more nicerer! It's still in the middle of no where. How's school going? |

Mobile phones ar crap unless you want to be interupted 24 hours a day |
||||||||
|

|
|
400? it's hard focusing on the reading for some classes but i'm writing some wicked short stories for creative writing and improving my golf game. |
||||||||

consumerism at its worst. very very bad. this cannot be good in any way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes 400! It really is nice, I'm really excited but....I saw someone else viewing the proprety today and I can feel it's going to be a bidding war! It's an amazing house but I'm going to out bid them 'till I'm bankrupt. the Bastards! Golf is good for calming the nerves, I haven't played for 7 years. |

what're you talking about, the phones? i don't like it either but you're going to have to get used to it, it's the future. hopefully people will eventually learn some cell phone ettiquete and we'll all be ok. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i had never really played before, it's been fun learning and it's free to me (gym class, hah) that mp3 hasn't arrived and i don't think it will.. if you have any proper tracks you want me to give a listen to i'd be happy to do it and i have plenty of space on my private art site ftp but that's really up to you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
send the ftp thing again and I'll do it now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I like the good ringtones that are quality midi, but the shitty ones that are one note at a time in 8-bit mono are TERRIBLE, anyone that has those should be shot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, sent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool i got 2 files and deleted them off the site. i'll try to remember the art site password for future use since that one's older.. ( is the one you logged into, something i put up recently for any crazy nin fans) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe this is cool, i can hear the sort of stockhausen thing your friend was going for. thanks for sharing.. |
