Fun with Ringtones, part 2
May. 7th, 2016 10:14 pmColleen Crosby asked, "Are you doing so many different ringtones that you won't be able to remember who was assigned which tone?" It's the other way around: will I find a memorable ringtone for each person? The last bunch of people to text me include people named Kurt, Dora, Alec, Ed, Tilly (Natalie), Trina, Mark, Jason, Tony, Eric, Miko, Cathy, Matthew, Joyce, Michelle... Some of those names, I can think of songs that would remind me of them. Others, I dunno! I've got LOTS of music with intros or other instrumental sections that would be great for alarm clock sounds, or other generic bits, but don't necessarily bring to mind any particular person's name. Oh, if I knew someone named Alan or Parsons or Jean-Michel or Jarre, I'd have no trouble, but...
My ringtone for Ashley Lanning is from a piece by Ashley MacIsaac.
A ringtone based on the Imperial March for
obishawn. He's in the 501st, he's got the stormtooper armor, and he's danced in stormtrooper armor. So a jazzy version of the Imperial March makes perfect sense. (Luke doesn't have a theme, he just gets "The Force" theme; and I don't have a jazzed-up version of that.)
The choice for "Felix" Molzahn was obvious. Long version for calls and a short version for texts.
I made a ringtone for the next time "Eric in the Elevator" texts or calls me. Some people might have gone with Eric Clapton, but I decided to use an instrumental piece by Eric Johnson.
Christopher Castro ordered some "Twin Peaks"-themed ribbons from me last year, so I've decided to use the theme for his ringtone the next time he texts me or calls me.
"Gaelic Reels" is a short little ring tone. Suitable for use as an alarm clock, phone call, or text alert tone. The original was only a minute long, but it repeats so I just snipped the last 15 seconds. I'm going to use it for Pat Larson, especially seeing as it's from one of her CDs!
When I hear this track by Candy Dulfer and David A. Stewart I'll know that Kandis Caringer is trying to reach me.
I have a co-worker named Omar. The ring tone and text tone for him are from a piece by Ottmar Liebert.
Another co-worker is named Del. Rather seeking out a song from the Del Vikings or Del McCoury, I went with the classic Delicado.
My cow-orker Kurt Kohlhase rides his bicycle great distances, and tells me some of the tales of his trips. So next time he calls me, I have this ringtone and this shorter one for texts.
While I was in there, I snipped the "You say black, I say white" rap bit. No idea what I'll use it for.
