Ringtones recontextualized

Someone sitting next to me in the TACC Visualization Lab (which is basically a darkened room full of curved displays) received several cell phone calls while we were watching a presentation, but it wasn’t until the second call that I realized it wasn’t just a well-placed musical flourish in the presentation… I wish I had a not-jarring ringtone; my Adam Ant "Goody Two Shoes" ringtones is usually pretty distracting. I just saw that the Touch Shop has a cd of 177 ringtones prepared by sound artists, composers, djs, and other noisemakers, that I imagine would make for pretty good listening on its own. I’m pretty sure that Kelly would freak if my phone emitted some Ryoji Ikeda.
