Best "ringtone" moments


Loert

Recommended Posts

Which moments from Johnny's scores which would make a great ringtone? The more obscure, the better!

 

Here's an unobscure one for starters:

 

(0:00 - 0:15, looped...)

The Pre-Crime Commercial music John composed for Minority Report which is almost like made to be a ringtone. Alas there is no clip I can post. :P

That part in "Hide and Seek" when an orchestra member's phone goes off.

I've been using self edited soundtrack ringtones for ages :-)

So I actually went ahead and made the "Rescuing Sarah" ringtone.  Made an 80 second loop that I think sounds pretty smooth.

Sigh.  iTunes updated and I can't figure out how to add a custom ringtone anymore :( 

 

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out

The first six seconds repeated...

 

Years ago my ringtone was actually this:

 

Which made me think that the opening of this might also be a fun ringtone:

I got my first call this morning with this as my ringtone (after I went back and artificially made it louder first) and it scared the ever-living bejeebus out of me.  

 

So...mission accomplished I guess?

Was this ever released on album?

I was queuing at the cashpoint outside Sainsbury's yesterday and the bloke in front of me had Dueling Banjos from Deliverance as his ringtone.  I muttered "Who's pickin' a banjo here?" under my breath when his phone went off but I don't think he heard me.

A guy at work has The Cantina Band as his ringtone. I doubt he knows who the composer is, though.

 

One of my in-law's has The Imperial March as his ringtone.  Doubt he knows the composer either.  About 10 years ago I had the disco version of CE3K Theme as my ringtone.  It's the only ringtone I've ever had other than the generic ones.  I don't really care anymore and just went back to the generic settings.

When it first became possible to have custom ringtones on phones, I knew exactly the ones to use and have kept them the same ever since.

 

Calls, 0:07 - 0:12:

 

 

 

All other alerts, 0:00 - 0:04:

 

 

 

Mrs. Pilgrim gets a custom one though, and it is Williams.  0:39 - 0:46:

A bunch from the Harry Potters would work, all those little magical effects and lightly orchestrated jingles

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty much any sample from "Canto Bight"

I’ve been using the dialogue from CE3K for months.

 

The opening of “Rescuing Sarah” was a fun one to use, and I kept it for a while, but I eventually decided it was too jarring.

How 'bout morning alarms?

I've been using Sherlock's main titles for a year or so, then created this shortened version of Adventures of Han:

But today I have to switch to my new earworm, so here's the short Cowboys presentation I just finished editing half a minute ago:

@Disco Stu, do you have any plans about isolating this score? ;) Would it be worth it to begin with?

Great selections. Have you ever had somebody nearby recognize them while your phone was going off?
