David Lynch ringtones are now available:
Thanks to the latest ring tone technology, beginning today, a new pocket-sized experience is now available from film director David Lynch. Originating from his past works, website, and unique persona overall, the director's latest offering comes in the form of a variety of categories of downloadable content, including: Voicetones, Strangetones, Musictones, and Wallpapers for mobile phones. The first release of content includes tone selections from "Dumbland," his first animation series, sound effects from ERASERHEAD, a sample of original music by David, and even some of his favorite sayings. Wallpapers include graphics from the Dumbland series, the ERASERHEAD poster, and select images from his website WWW.DAVIDLYNCH.COM.
"Cell phones are a hand held theatre," said David Lynch. "I like to experiment with sound and music ringtones and this is an opportunity to create something different. Since Dumbland came out people expressed liking certain sounds and sentences from Dumbland -- they get a kick out of that. The technology is now there so it's like an experiment to see what we can put through the phone when it rings."
