Nokia hires orchestra to create new ringtones

The 25 original classical tunes were recorded with the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra and some are already available on some Nokia Lumia models.

Nokia said they decided to hire the orchestra after a study revealed that classical music ringtones were the second most popular.

The pieces were composed by the mobile phone giant's in-house 'sound designers' before being recorded with the 55 members of the orchestra.

Some of the recordings are already available on the new Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 820. They will be available on some soon-to-be released smartphone models.

Aleksi Eeben, a sound designer at Nokia, said: "The 25 original pieces, called ‘miniatures’ were composed by five Nokia Design in-house sound designers.

"We started exploring the idea through contemporary classical and film music, However, the final result was original pieces that are distinctively ring tones: they are short, and they all have a functional sounds element."

Nokia also worked with an audio production company called Epic Sound which helped on some of the composing and arranging.
