A Dubious Free Gift….

I am aware of how popular the portable communication device is with people today, personally I find them to be an appalling concept, (the device not the people …)

Should one have the misfortune to find ones self in the thrawl of such an item the least one can do is to make it a little more socially acceptable…

Why not use this portentous piece of whimsey as your message alert…?

I am told (by a young person) that it is an mp3 file….

Now tell me…

What exactly was wrong with the wax cylinder….?

Quite true; a short exposure to a summer's day, and 'Rite of Spring' began to sound like 'Night on Bald Mountain'. Alas, the latter not having the same effect on young ladies as the former.

Summer weather had an unpleasant effect on sound quality whilst attempting to court young ladies to the dulcet tones of Beethoven.

The Dun-Dun-DUUUUUUUUUN fanfare seems to be an ubiquitous part of our post-talkie culture - almost at a genetic level, it would seem. Nice interpretation you've made there. Sadly, I too suffer from "proprieterius filetypius."

Incidentally, a "classic" version of the fanfare (as well as many other deliciously dramatic cues) can be found as part of the collection posted here:

I actually composed, performed and recorded the clip using Reason...
How on earth a T.V. character got hold of it I'll never know...

In the British sitcom "The IT Crowd", Maurice Moss has almost exactly the same sound as his ringtone, to very amusing affect.

Oh, spiffing!

Also I'm very glad to see Brass Goggles back up and running. Top work!

If only my portable communication device's service provider worked the way it was advertised to (curse this modern view of "high-quality service;" I shake my fist at it), I would thoroughly enjoy it dandandarrr-ing at me whenever my sisters try to contact me. But, alas, Sprint sucks, as we young'uns say. More fist shaking is in order, I think.
