I hope jim wouldn't mind, but in a way this has got something to do with programming because i did this all on my pc. Anyway, Nokia held a competition locally whereby we were required to write variations on it's standard ring tone and ringing logo. I entered a classical variation of the ring tone in question, and against sighted competition, since i was the only blind participant, i won first place, 10,000 singapore dollars and a contract to write ring tones for nokia for the next 2 years. The instruments that i used? a pc, Cakewalk's sonar and a roland module and yamaha keyboard. Well, i'm not really good with the keyboard, so some of the running notes had to be programmed into the music. Well, i am offering the piece for download for you all to listen and comment on. And it's nice to share a triumph with all of you. The download link is: www.ecstatico.net/nokia-overture.mp3 Hope you all enjoy it. Cheers!
