Title Description: 99 tracks - 177 ringtones - 45:06. The process of transferring made-to-measure Ringtones to your mobile phone is, at present, a fixed casino... Chart hits, 'celebrity' voices, action heroes, lame keyboard melodies... so the likelihood of hearing one of these on the 07.34 from Carshalton is, at present, remote, although the J range of Sony mobiles promise better things. However each of these has been composed with exactly this eventuality in mind. All the compositions included here are in one way or another intended to be experienced as isolated, personal interventions: low-res loops, creature calls, in low-res environments, with the branding of surprise. In whichever form you find them here, do sample and employ these humble suggestions... We assume you already agree that the cheap 'cheep cheep' tones of Nokia, Ericsson and the others leave a lot to be desired. But there is huge commercial possibility here, not least with the fact that these selections have not been motivated by database usage... this is far cooler, and the contributors have responded accordingly... This release shows what is possible and how far behind the phone companies actually are.... despite their desperation to uncover new ways of selling the next generation of phones to an already saturated market." with John Hudak, Oren Ambarchi, John Dexter, Johannes Bergmark, the birth of newsprint, security clearance code, Chris Watson, Thor McBurnie, Neophyte, Doug Quinn, Touch 33, Bigert & Bergstrom, Radio Bulgaria, Cecilia Heisser, Brandon LaBelle, La Illaha, AER, The World of Gilbert & George, Evan Parker, Ken Ikeda, Raymond Cass, Leif Elggren, Lily Otic, Black Sabbath Riot Milwaukee 1980, The Japanese Imperial Army, Richard Bell, Regina Lund, Rosalind Waters, The Conet Project, ke Hodell, Forty, Atau Tanaka, Tobias Frre-Jones, Crosby Binge Whirleygig, Brendon Walls, People Like Us, Gen Ken Montgomery, Grime, Marcus Davidson, Paul Williams, Lary 7, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, New Order, VENOZ TKS, Homage to Rhythm & Sound, Serrata Horn, 48 Simon Fisher Turner, Agniesz, alku 2000, Andreas Karperyd, Hazard, FEAR, farmersannual, Disinformation, Carsten Nicolai, DJ Guacamole, Bruce Gilbert, KREV, D, Edvard G Lewis, Edwin van der Heide, fennesz, Homage to Pan Sonic, Joel Stern, ikue mori, Hecker, On the Beach, i.d, Heitor Alvelos, kaffe matthews, Main, Rosy Parlane, Scala, A Ringtone from Under the Floorboards, Mika Vainio, Mark Van Hoen, Monika Nystrm, S.E.T.I., Phill Niblock & Guy de Bivre, Thomas Lehn, Ryoji Ikeda, The Portuguese Cleaner, Preacher talking backwards, Embassy voice, PITA, 92 snd, ÁIT!, Zbigniew Karkowski, MSCHarding, Francisco Lpez, Joel Stern & Anthony Guerra, and 11.09 - 09.11.
