Flying Lotus Creates Two Apple Ringtones

Flying Lotus, the Grammy-winning artist known for his unique sound, revealed in the recent episode of the Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast that he composed two ringtones for Apple, 'Daybreak' and 'Chalet,' which have been included in iOS 13 since its launch in 2019. Initially unsure about becoming a 'ringtone maker,' he drew on his prior experience creating personal ringtones to develop tones that are both pleasing and not abrasive. He described 'Chalet' as evoking nostalgia and warmth, particularly when associated with loved ones. The podcast episode highlights the broader context of Apple’s sound design and its impact on user experience. Flying Lotus humorously noted the emotional connections these ringtones can foster, suggesting they become part of personal memories. His tweet confirmed the long-held secret, stating, 'Apple leaked it so I can say it.'
