Cell Phone Symphony

from the it's-all-about-ringtones dept

Well, it had to happen soon or later. In Israel, they held a "Spring Cellphony" symphony with cell phones. Actually, it was a normal symphony, but each part during a ten minute medley began with a cell phone ring tone of the piece they were about to play. I wonder whose job it was to precisely time his or her phone call to the cell phone in question - or if they just cheated and had someone set to make the phone ring at the right time. Wouldn't that be a great musician's job in a symphony orchestra? "I play the cell phone. I have to call this one number at the exact right time..."

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
