Welcome to The Ringtone Society.
The Ringtone Society is an international platform that aims to liberate the world of musically banal ringtones that have infiltrated our neighbourhoods. HOW? By asking composers and musicians from all over the world to join us in creating original ringtones and inviting you to acquire and use as many as you like, and thus protecting society from the digitally-dull ringtone! Let the revolution be mobilised!
Ringtone Society intends to transform public space in the same way that graffiti-culture made travelling in public transport fun again. What started out as an underground movement was soon picked up by the traditional art circuit. The Ringtone Society places audio-tags in the public environment, and puts avant-garde culture in the place where it belongs: not in a concert hall or in an art gallery alone, but back in the public domain.
Through composition assignments and special projects the Ringtone Society boosts the artistic development of the ringtone.
Until 2006 the website was a Holland based community, with ringtones from Dutch and international prominent and emerging composers. However, since October 2006 the society has grown as the creations of Australian musicians are added to the ringtone catalogue
