LOS ANGELES: Not content merely to conquer the film-music world, composer Hans Zimmer has now turned his attention to cellphone ringtones. Chinese smartphone maker Oppo has unveiled its latest, the Find X3 Pro, which offers two Zimmer-created ringtones and “an orchestra of system sounds”, according to an announcement by the company. The new sounds include two warm ringtones, a gentle alarm and a phone activation sound as well as “a range of energising text and notification alerts”. The intent, the company says, was for “Zimmer's simple yet epic notes [to] inspire optimism and joy with every alert”. They connect us.”Zimmer also scored a two-and-a-half minute promotional video that looks like a sci-fi movie.
