Brainstorming about what to make the next ringtone, I had been thinking about what a banjo would sound like with a sitar bridge on it, as the strings are similarly made of metal. And the banjo is such an ancient instrument--from there I wandered to prepared piano, which seems just odd enough to warrant ringtone-ification.
This is an original composition, entitled, "Pick up your phone, John Cage". Two technical side notes, this one will overload the speaker on your iPhone if you turn it up too loud. Despite my attempts to figure this out, I have not quite gotten it yet. So don't turn your phone all the way up. Also, a slightly different distribution, the zip file contains an mp3 and a garageband project. For iPhone, just open the gb file and Share. For all others, apologies, I am quickly, it seems, becoming somewhat iPhone centric. Oh well, it's my only testing platform.
I still want to modify my banjo with a piece of camel bone.

PS. If I really wanted to pay homage to John Cage, I should have made a ringtone called 14 sec. that was dead silence, but I will refrain from getting totally impractical just yet.
