Have you checked out Samsung's 2018 ringtone: Takes you away on a journey of discovery

Today smartphones have become an increasingly essential tool for everyday life. However, one aspect of the smartphone that has managed to make a presence in today's modern world is the ringtone. Besides, different brands have their own and unique ringtones that help them distinguish each other and also give a sense of recognition among the users. Well, you know a device is an Apple iPhone just by hearing the ringtone.

In a similar fashion, Samsung also has its own ringtone which is quite different from the rest. Dubbed as "Over the Horizon" this is perhaps one of the most recognizable ringtones, as it has been the default ringtone of Galaxy devices since 2011. It is so recognizable, in fact, that when heard from a distance, you might even wonder if it's coming from your own device. Interestingly, the ringtone has evolved with every iteration of the company flagships.

Each year, with each new generation of Galaxy devices, "Over the Horizon" is rearranged to mirror the aesthetic transformation of the devices themselves. While you can check the older ringtone videos on Youtube, for 2018, Samsung has reached out to Icelandic composer Pétur Jónsson to reimagine the melody.

Delicately layering instruments, Jónsson's minimalist arrangement takes you away on an atmospheric journey of discovery. The piece begins with the soft tones of a single piano playing the refrain. As additional instruments are gradually introduced, the sound rises to a crescendo before melting away. As the video cuts away from the opening scene of Jónsson at the piano, it prompts you to imagine traveling over the remote Icelandic countryside. Capturing the beauty of Nordic nature, the camera pans over misty mountains and jagged cliffs, steaming geysers and snow-blanketed hills.

While listening to this year's piece by Jónsson, you will find that the notes arouse the purest, fundamental elements of the human sentiment that often remain hidden in our daily lives. In this way, the latest version of Samsung's brand sound seems to have the power to relax the mind and heal the soul, thus resonating with all who hear it, regardless of their age.
