Due to modern technology, all of us have now been given the gift of foresight, or in pop culture terms spidey sense. We know when our cell phones are about to ring. How? Any electronic device that we happen to be within 4 feet of that has speakers starts to buzz like a swarm of angry hornets, and we immediately look around at the people close to us and everyone makes a very overused and generally terrible joke about whose it is.

It really isn’t enough to put your phone on silent; I have a good friend not only turns his phone off at concerts/events, but actually takes the battery out. That’s dedication, or, a paranoid obsession. either way, I think it’s cool.

I however am not usually that clever, and while working on music this morning my phone began the pre ring which went directly into the track I was recording. As my homage to the phone gods and radio waves, here’s a short kind of annoying piece using that buzz. I’ve learned my lesson and have been listening to the same sound in various forms for about 45 minutes. Check it out for 1:30 and give yourself a reminder.

They’re in your phone and they want out.
