MARIMBA MIX is a collection of songs, most of which were found on YouTube, based on the preinstalled, famous iPhone ringtone, selected by Selektor Buttendorf. The Marimba ringtone was introduced in 2007 with the iPhone as the default ringtone and remains to this day the most iconic and recognizable ringtone. In 2013, ‘Opening’ became the new default ringtone for the iPhone, which also features the sound of the marimba. To be honest, both of these ringtones are featured on the album, as I sometimes confuse the two.
MARIMBA MIX was developed in the Presence of Aram Bartholl's artwork 'Obsolet Presence', which appears on the phone screen featured on the cover. The work was installed @Humboldthafen in Berlin for one month in September 2017. The MARIMBA MIX released on the 21.09.2017 as an irl CD.
