Tell Us Your Cell Phone Ring Tone

[gdogus]

Mine's a lame version of "Autumn Leaves" (but at least it's polyphonic).

[wesbed]

Mine just rings like a telephone. You know... ring, ring, and ring?

[Soulstation1]

i tried to get the sanford and son theme, but it didn't work

If I had a cell phone that I could change the ringer on (and I don't - I've got a much older one - with no plans to upgrade), I'd try to find some way to program it to do Zappa's "The Black Page".

Though I suppose it'd be a bitch to get it to do N-tuplets --- like 5-tuplets, and 7-tuplets --- let alone a triplet where each 1/3 of the subdivision is further subdivided into 5, 7, and 9 tuplets (respectively).

Either that, or some Ornette tune -- they do have microtonal settings (notes), right????

Put it on vibrate.

Put it on vibrate.

Same here. I see no reason to bother other people when my phone rings. Ringing cell phones are actually a pet-peeve of mine...

No shit.

[Spontooneous]

My cell's an old one that doesn't have programmable rings. But if I had my druthers, it would ring with Ornette's "Lonely Woman."

Or maybe Beethoven's "Grosse Fuge."

I don't even turn the phone on but maybe once a week.

brnnng, brnnng in B-flat (hope you can imaging what I mean B) )

I was playing in a concert Friday night and someone's cell went off REALLY LOUDLY right in the middle of a solo. I immediately used it as a motive in my solo, and the audience was cracking up. I think they appreciated that more than anything "thoughtful" I might have been trying to play. I remember hearing that someone had done this at a gig (I think it was Wynton) so I must have had that in the back of my mind.

EDIT: Because of course it is my ultimate goal to emulate Wynton........

I'd just settle for one that didn't drop calls all the time.

Mines 'Walkin' from disc 1 the plugged nickle box. My phone has a little recorder on it so you can record anything for a ringtone.

[king ubu]

Four Brothers, or Always Look At The Bright Side of Life...

Though usually only on vibrate.

I am also too cool to own a cell phone.

But if I had one I'd want a bit of Evan Parker circular breathing as the ring tone!

Don't know about Wynton doing it (but it wouldn't suprise me if he did either), but the first time I ever heard about this kinda thing - was a report by that Kansas City Star jazz guy, who said he heard KC's own Roger Wilder do it on a gig at the Blue Room.

So, chalk it up to you wanting to emulate Roger -- who we both know is way cooler than Wynton. B)

(...so is that guy at The Star too. )

Hey, we got one o' them there "mikerwave" thingies; how far do we have to go?

I too am a cell phone-o-philiac. I always want to do that Belushi / Blutarsky thing whenever I hear one chiming "Ode to Freekin Joy!".
