Cosmic Ringtones was inspired by Einstein ‘s theories -- later validated by astronomers, improvements in technology and further made real by the creation of our most powerful tool for observation from low earth orbit — The Hubble Telescope! Hubble’s astonishing capabilities and thrilling images have taken us far beyond our own galaxy and pointed us toward our beginnings.
There is no sound or music in space (no atmosphere – no sound waves) but the thought excites the imagination if you have ever wondered what the Big Bang might have sounded like 13.8 billion years ago -- or a Meteor Shower or a Photon Fury.
An infinitesimal, diminutive speck of the Cosmos lives in Earth’s night sky and attracts our attention. On a clear evening you look up to identify the constellations and nearby planets but there is so much more.
Cosmic Ringtones....Your Universe Is Calling is a carefully crafted collection of 25 ringtones, plus ringbacks, and a bonus Cosmic Ringtone Suite, thoughtfully researched and translated into dramatic and compelling music.
Rather than just post a bagful of ringtones on-line we chose to offer them in a free, easy to use, app that seamlessly downloads your ringtone choices directly on to your Android phone. Each ringtone is paired to a concise
description of what that tone represents in our universe. Just tap the tone’s title.
Whether you purchase a ringtone or not, enjoy the Cosmic Ringtones Suite, which creatively combines nine (9) tones into a tantalizing five-minute event which you can play and replay for as long as this app remains on your phone.
A companion CD, containing all the notes and each of the ringtones, sequenced for continuous listening as a full CD album in its own right, is available from Amazon.com.
