As it turns out, many LG ringtones over the years were created by the Korean content company Neocyon. We don't know many specific names involved just yet, but this is an exciting breakthrough - getting closer to solving who composed all those VGM-y tones that get thousands of likes. :)

Notably, they composed some tracks for Ragnarok Online and arranged all music for the 2013 remake of Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons. You can hear similarities to LG ringtones in these works. The "[game] vibes" comments make sense! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKZu...

For some background: Neocyon was founded as an LG subsidary in 2000, but spun off in 2005, but continued working with them after that. Their main focus is games (which they also developed for LG too), but also provided ringtones and wallpapers for LG.

Wow, these tweets have done numbers! To clarify, Nokia ringtones themselves are not lost media - people have been ripping them for 20+ years. It's the lossless masters and unused tones that are mostly lost. Also the sheet listing all the composer credits.

We finally have an answer to "Does Nokia's internal holy grail of HQ + unused ringtones still exist?". Unfortunately, Microsoft deleted them when transferring Nokia data to HMD Global upon the sale in 2016. I am truly disheartened by the devaluation of historical content.

From Santeri Saarinen, the Software Product Manager at HMD Global. This was in reply to a query from a researcher/archivist involved with ringtones for several years.

That being said, we've done our best with external preservation efforts. The Ultimate Nokia Ringtone Collection hasn't been updated for years, but is highly comprehensive! It even has stuff that was never officially released, even if only a fraction. www.deviantart.com/windowsaesth...

Well, there's a massive archive of ringtones from multiple manufacturers: 3.onj.me/phonetones/ Piracy is indeed the best bet, but getting stuff that was never actually released to the public is much harder.

There were hundreds of ringtones and related audio that never got used on any phones or released online. While several composers have helped unearth their old work, many tracks are likely to be permanently lost. A middle finger to preservation.

YMO is one of my favorite electronic bands, so I hope this was insightful! They have influenced lots of musicians especially game composers - and certainly many ringtone/tech product composers as well.

Not quite YMO, but speaking of Matsutake, his music company Music Airport created ringtones for companies like Sony Ericsson, Yamaha, Sanyo, Nokia, etc. It is not clear if he personally composed some himself or if they were all outsourced. An example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP8x... (5/5)

With the release of the UC YMO compilation in 2003, official ringtones of tracks were distributed on the Record Kaisha Chokuei♪ site. These were created by Hideki Matsutake, who did a lot of programming work on their actual songs. They're pretty good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpNm... (4/5)

The most well known connection is that in 2005, Sakamoto composed all the ringtones for the Nokia 8800. They are tranquil, blending acoustic and electronic instrumentation. I uploaded a full collection of them in 2023: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9in... (2/5)

I brought this to light years ago and uploaded it! It's bizarre. midi_14 is a knockoff of the Ice Climbers title theme as well. This is the only Motorola phone to include these midi_xx ringtones; I assume they came from Compal, the Taiwanese ODM that manufactured it.

Certain models of the 2003 Motorola MPx200 clamshell phone contained a ringtone that was blatantly just the "Fever" theme from Dr. Mario with different notes.
