"Over the Horizon"
"Over the Horizon" is the trademark sound for Samsung smartphone devices. It was composed in 2011 by Joong-sam Yun and is the only music stored in the music library of any new Samsung smartphone. The sound appears as the default ringtone, as well as the sound when the phone turns on or off, and as a notification sound. The Galaxy SII is the first phone to feature "Over the Horizon". While the basic composition of the six-note tune has not changed since its inception, various versions of different genres have been introduced as the product line evolved. Before the "Over the Horizon" slogan, "Beyond Samsung" was the only music file stored in the library, while "Samsung Tune" was used as the default ringtone. The sound has been covered by various popular artists who have released their own arrangements and remixes of the song, such as Quincy Jones, Icona Pop, and various K-Pop artists. In Samsung's U.S. registration of the trademark for the sound, it is described as "the sound of a bell playing a B4 dotted eighth note, a B4 sixteenth note, an F#5 sixteenth note, a B5 sixteenth note, an A#5 eighth note, and an F#5 half note."
