The Disquiet Junto project this week asks participants to "Take a sound, change it, and contrast that with the original."
My mobile phone ringtone came to mind.
It's still a novelty, since I didn't have a phone before starting the job, and thankfully it doesn't ring very often -- so I don't often hear the ringtone.
To change the sound I slowed it down and converted in to MIDI, then used one of my favourite piano sample-based instruments.
