tony ann - iPhone alarm as a piano ballad

@mhoye holy CRAP, this is amazing.

(*tosses to @certifiedperson!*)

@mhoye It kind of reminds me of Chinese classical. I'd love to hear it with erhu accompaniment
@mhoye Reminds me of Windows XP Startup Sound but it's a RPG Soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41V50KDvlFE

@mhoye this makes me want to watch "your name" all over again
@april @mhoye Nothing stopping you, champ.  
@mhoye wow. I kind of want to turn the first bars into a ringtone
@mhoye that reminds me of this—our LG washing machine sings a dumb little song when it finishes, but this dude elevated it beautifully. https://youtu.be/y3vWVynL9Q4

@mhoye I love that they included the sheet music! Not that I could ever play this...
@briankrebs This kind of watch-the-hands, see-the-sheet music presentation is all over Piano Youtube, and it's the most amazing thing. We are in the middle of an astonishing golden age of music right now.
@mhoye Tell me about it. It's all I can do most days to not spend half the day watching piano videos for songs I've always wanted to learn to play. Did that yesterday with the hypnotic theme song to the movie Interstellar.

@briankrebs I mentioned Yunchan Lim's performance a while back, but this is a great presentation about his recent award-winning playing of Feux Follets that in part makes the argument that this is a performance that was only possible for somebody growing up with Piano Youtube available.

@mhoye @briankrebs The state of music nowadays is incredible.

The variety, relative ease of creation/collaboration, tools, inspiration sources, education sources (the fact that "the music theory part of Youtube" is even a thing!), feedback loops from all of that, etc., basically make today the best moment ever for music, to be exceeded only by whatever people do tomorrow to build on that.

@pstewart @mhoye @briankrebs you should check out live music on Twitch. :)
@mhoye Neat idea. Too bad it's strictly quantized and the dynamic range is non-existent though.
@BorrisInABox it's a ringtone man, what do you want

@mhoye I might not ever pick up the phone again…

[proceeds to set it as a ringtone]

@collectifission "I'm sorry I missed your call, my ringtone is too good, I cannot bring myself to interrupt it, please leave a message."
@mhoye absolutely fabulous

@mhoye Thank you. That is wonderful. I am surprised that tears are in my eyes.

It makes me realize that the original is actually a hip little riff. But what Tony Ann wrote is obviously a lot more than that.

@mhoye Steve Jobs would’ve loved this.
@mhoye this is fabulous! Sure brightened my day!

@mhoye This is cool! It made me recall a very early track by my friend’s son (12 or 13 at the time I think) with said ringtone in it. He’s a crazy good, self taught, young musician.

Hit Me Up

In this track, I sampled iPhone's original ringtone and turned it into a bass-y, off the wall EDM track. I hope you enjoy

@mhoye
After hearing that ringtone for many many many years and learning to absolutely hate it, I really didn't want to click on that but for some reason I did, and I loved it. That's awesome.
@mhoye Oh, I absolutely agree. It's a beautiful piece.
