The collection of new pieces is Ringtone Circus. The pieces don’t all have a Nokia cellphone ringtone feel to them, but several possess that plinking, happy, upbeat quality.

I’ve been composing quite a few trios lately, as I’ve been playing around with blending three of the same sounds. This week, I’ve got a fun little marimba piece that sounds very much like a cellphone ringtone.
