Edit music for ringtones with Ondo
Posted by: Maria Mihale in Concepts
Music enthusiasts are everywhere: they have no nationality, no other characteristic besides the fact that they are in love with sounds. They love music more than anything, even if some might disagree. If you think about it, music is the perfect refuge for people who get into all sorts of troubles that don’t let them live in peace.

This is why music-centric cell phones are exactly what the doctor ordered for those who find their comfort in listening to their favorite tracks. And here we have a brand new concept that was especially designed for music enthusiasts. The phone is known under the name of Ondo and it was created by Pilotfish, “a progressive industrial design and product development studio” that is headquartered in three important cities of the world, Munich, Amsterdam and Taipei.
This is just a concept, for the moment, and it’s in fact a dedicated music editing phone concept. From now on, people can enjoy an entirely different music experience, as they have the possibility to benefit an interactive capture and editing of sounds.

Ondo is all made of flexible materials that are all form-sensitive, and allows the user actually bring changes to recorded sounds. And if you want to know how you can do this, let me tell you that you don’t have to do anything besides twisting and bending the phone. This way, you can not only hear, but also feel the musical effects of your creation.

There are three display “sticks”, all of them being removable. “In their normal state, the ‘sticks’ act as a unified touch display for the mobile device. When removed, each can be separately clipped onto a musical instrument or person to capture live sound. Like a portable recording studio, Ondo makes mixing tracks easy, because each ‘stick’ picks up isolated sounds from each individual instrument”.

And guess what? As soon as you finish your creation, when the inspiration has done its job, you can make your friends and family a surprise, by sharing with them what you’ve created. The only thing you have to do is to just send the recording via MMS.
As I said before, Ondo is a concept, but it seems that the technology that such a device would require would become available in the “near future”. We don’t know when, but we’re looking forward for editing music for ringtones based on our own imagination.
