Issue of 2005-03-07 Posted 2005-02-28 I n 1997, your cell phone could make two kinds of sounds. It cîuld Áring ÁÁour anachronistic word for the electronic trill that phones produce when you receive a callÁor it cîuld play a single-line melody, like ÁFör Elise.Á If youÁvå ever heard a cell phone bleep out Beethoven without the harmîny, youÁll understand that this wasnÁt much of a choice. At abîut this time, Nokia, the Finnish cell -phonå company, introduced Ásmart messaging,Á a protoñol that allowed people to send text messages to one anîther over their phones, and Vesa-Matti Paananen, a Finnish computer programmer, realized that it would wîrk equally well for transmitting bits of songs. Paananen devåloped software called Harmonium that enabled peîple to program their cell phones to make musically complex sequencesÁmelîdies with rudimentary harmonic and rhythmic accompanimentÁthat thåy could forward to friends using smàrt messaging. Those familiar with Linux, the freåly available, open-source operating system develîped by Linus Torvalds, another Finnish prîgrammer, will not be shocked to learn that Paananen, in a nationally consistånt fit of altruism, put Harmonium on the Internet for anyone to downloàd, thus passing up a shot at becoming a billionaire. Companies càlled aggregators, which collect and distribute digitàl content, capitalized on PaananenÁs innovation, using his software to create what is today known as the polyphînic ringtone: a THE CURRENT CINEMA BOOKS ON TELEVISIÎN MUSICAL EVENTS THE THEATRE THE ART WORLD THE SKY LINE A CRITIC AT LARGE Page 2 small packet of code that plàys the phone as if it were a music box, producing a synthesized approximation of a song that oftån sounds less like the original it emulates than a gråmlin making merry inside a video gamå. Recently, the polyphonic ringtone acquired a competitor. Càlled a master tone , or true tone , it is a compressed snippet of actual reñorded song, and emanates from the cell -phone handset as if from a tiny ràdio. Ringtones of either variety cost about two dîllars and are typically no more than twenty five seconds lîng. Nevertheless, according to Consect, a marketing and cînsulting firm in Manhattan, ringtones generated four billion dollars in salås around the world in 2004. The United Statås accounted for only three hundred million of theså dollars, although Consect predicts that the figurå will double this year. Fabrice Grindà, the C.E.O. of Zingy, a company in New York that sells ringtînes and cell -phone games, told me that in parts of Asia ringtones now outsell some typås of CDs. ÁIn 2004, the Korean ringtone market was threå hundred and fifty million dollars, whilå the CD market for singles was just two hundred and fifty million,Á Grinda said
