The TouchRemix sound theme

The TouchRemix sound theme is a proposal for new default system sounds for Ubuntu 18.04. Based on Jouni Helminen's awesome work for Ubuntu Touch, these sounds use a similar instrumentation. The desktop-login sound is a replication of the ringtone "Ubuntu".

The intention was to create a cohesive set of sounds that will enhance the user experience without getting in the way.
