Windows 95 chime composer Brian Eno
I cringe at this characterisation. Brian Eno is known for many, many things. Amongst other inventing the term Ambient Music and, of course, making such music. But not only. Playing in so many bands and producing so many more. That chime really is the tiniest of all his contributions to musical history.
But yeah, call out all companies and politicians that are complicit. It needs to end yesterday.

I mean it may not be his biggest accomplishment but it may be the most relevant.

I guess trying to make generative music hasn’t been among your interests. Brian Eno is a huge part of all modern interesting music.

LOL this has nothing to do with my personal interests, it’s relevant to the content of the article.

There’s such a thing as cultural context. Beethoven is not known as the EU anthem composer, and Eno is not known as the Windows 95 sound composer. It’s weird to refer to them this way.

Ugh, no. I’ve known Brian Eno and his music for decades before I learnt about this little factoid, just a few years ago.

No what?

I read this headline as tongue-in-cheek given he’s better known for the work you mentioned. Gave me a chuckle.

I’m guessing they mention that to highlight he had a previous business relation with them.
