1986 was a big year for digital samplers. With Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Stevie Wonder’s appearance on the Cosby Show bringing the concept to the mainstream, 13 year old boys across the country were begging their parents for a sampler for Christmas. Enter the Casio SK-1 Sampling Keyboard….

Anything you sampled was played back in gloriously degraded 8 bit audio. Imagine the juevenile hours wasted. . .
When I stumbled upon the SK-1’s big brother, the SK-5, in an El Dorado pawn shop a few years ago, I had to have it. Sing “ahhhh” into the sampler and you’ve got instant Mellotron! The SK-5 has shown up on many recordings since, including these two:

So a few months ago we started writing ringtones for ourselves and a few colleagues… It turns out ringtones are fun to write and record, so we were happy when agencies started calling asking for custom ringtones for clients…

The ringtone fun continues at the studio, so we’ll post a few samples here periodically for free download… Just point your phone’s browser to the file– or download the file and transfer to your phone via computer.
