Bachelor of Arts (Music Industry) – Tones for your phone

RMIT Bachelor of Arts (Music Industry) students enrolled in a semester 1 course entitled ‘Concept Development’ use audio software such as Ableton Live, Protools, Logic and Audacity to make cool sounds for phones.

As part of this project, RMIT students decided to make their tones available for free download.

So browse the links below and get some free RMIT tones for your phone.

How to listen to / download the ringtones

Files are in MP3 format. To listen, simply press play below the composer’s image.

To save the MP3 to your computer, ‘right-click’ / ‘shift-click’ the ‘2008 branding icons - Audio Download… ’ link and use your browser’s ‘Save As’ feature.

The following media files can only be viewed correctly with the latest version of Flash. If you are experiencing any difficulties please update your browser's Flash plug-in at the official Adobe Flash Player web site.

If you encounter problems playing back the MP3s, try using a different internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer instead of Firefox).

Within the ‘Concept Development’ course, students are expected to create, plan, develop and implement a music project and use a variety of multimedia tools to produce, and promote their project to a target audience.

2008 has seen students create MP3 files that have been designed for use as mobile phone ringtones. This project recognises the rapid transformations that have occurred in the music industry over the last few years.

“…with ringtones accounting for over 10 percent of globalmusic sales the global music industry has already become significantly dependent on ringtones to boost profits.

“Fashions like cell–phone entertainments are perpetually cannibalizing older entertainments such as hand–held video game machines, digital cameras, portable music players and televisions, all with the purpose of encouraging new handset and mobile entertainment consumption”

From Gopinath, Sumanth. "Ringtones, or the auditory logic of globalization" First Monday [online], Volume 10 Number 12 (5 December 2005).
