Silent Ring Tones - Finally a Solution for all those Annoying Ring Tones
Finally a Solution for all those Annoying Ring Tones

As much as this might seem like a joke, people with those annoying ring tones of Britney Spears jingles and various Bart Simpson sayings should take note.  The pleasure of hearing beautiful silence might just what you need after a busy day. 

Conceptual artist Jonathon Keats has created the world's first silent ringtone, a bootleg of John Cage's famous piano piece that contains four minutes and 33 seconds of silence. Cage performed 4'33" live before an audience in 1952. But, says Keats, Cage was limited by the technologies available at the time. His silence wasn't perfect because it wasn't digital -- nor could it be freely distributed via sound files. So Keats wrote "My Cage," a 4:33 minute ringtone of pure, unadulterated silence. You can get it for free from Start Mobile, a ringtone distributor, and Keats urges people to remix and mashup his ringtone as much as they wish. (blog.wired)
