Greetings,
I thought you might be interested in this information featuring a musician
who is gaining popularity via internet sales as an outlet for his own productions.
He has just released a new CD of ringtones titled "RingToneNation"
ringtones spanning a variety of styles and sounds. It is currently available only
through CD Baby http://cdbaby.com/
be found at iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, eMusic, etc.
The following was taken from the description of "RingToneNation";
"....thinking in terms of what a ringtone is all about and what different people prefer
for their "signature" sound or the statement they want to make when their phone
rings. Some of these start off very soft and slowly get louder. Some do just the
opposite while others stay soft or subtle or get "in your face" so to speak. They are
mostly designed to seamlessly loop while not becoming too annoyingly repetitious
right away. In fact, there are a few that can loop for quite a while before eventually
getting old or tiresome. There are a few that are MEANT to be "tiresome" right
away because I think there are certain situations where you want the phone to get
your attention. A couple of these actually sound insistent, almost like they're
demanding your attention. It is interesting to play the CD as if it were an album.
These 98 CD playable tracks also have their mp3 counterparts included in a PC
accessible folder along with another Extra mp3 folder as well as a video folder. No
animals were harmed in the making of this CD...
BTW! Go to http://www.SummerRain.US and check out the spinning lady!"
I have listened to several tracks from the CD and am impressed with the
overall sound quality, the variety and expressiveness, indeed, something for everyone.
There is even one that I think NASCAR will really like called "LarvelAccel"
Lloyd first ventured into the "ringtone genre" with his "Elemental Asylum" album
released in 2007. It included four ringtones and the one titled "Beautiful" has of late
been gaining popularity both in the US and abroad. There are several tracks on
"RingToneNation"
out the "spinning lady" at www.SummerRain.US and it really is quite fascinating. And
the same may be said for "RingToneNation"
Peace and music,
Catherine Smothers
