Dark Star Ringtones

鈴聲從Grateful Dead的歌曲暗星

A ringtone app dedicated entirely to the iconic Grateful Dead song Dark Star. This song is considered the pinnacle of exploration for a band that is, in many ways, defined by exploration and improvisation. These sounds capture some of the brilliant small moments in time that are buried within the long 20 plus minute jams.

If you think about it, these short moments were the very purpose of the improvisation. The points in time where it all came together. Of course, listening to the whole thing unfold is an art-form not to be missed, but having small portable sounds on your phone is a pretty good modern alternative.

The app itself has both a looping feature where you can hear the sounds as a ringtone and a button to set them to your phone. It is a better functional design than my Cornell '77 app I think.
