The article "Artists Create New Music Specially for Cell Phones" is about communications, it has been written by Sandy Fisher.
Today's composers have a new outlet for their creativity, it
seems: the mboile phone.
In addition to writing songs for discs,
radio play and live performances, songwriters are right now producing
pieces of music designed to do nothing more than sound off when
someone calls up.
The reason for the rise in cell phone music is, of course, the
money.
Ringtones right now give
record labels, retialers and phone companies a mouth-dropping $2
billion in annual worldwide revenues.
And with that kind of money, it's not just the musicians who are
hitting the nubmer pads. Moive studios are offering lengths of
film dialogue and sports figures are recording shout-outs.
So it
could be goobdye to ring-ring and hello to "Twenty-three,
thirty-seven - HUT! "
