Brian Eno Calls On Microsoft To Cease Partnership With Israel, Will Donate Windows ‘95 Chime Fee To Victims In Gaza
(programming.dev)
In 1994, the Microsoft designers Mark Malamud and Erik Gavriluk approached Eno to compose music for Windows 95. The result was the six-second start-up music-sound of the Windows 95 operating system, "The Microsoft Sound".
Eno shed further light on the composition of the sound on the BBC Radio 4 show The Museum of Curiosity, admitting that he created it using a Macintosh computer, stating "I wrote it on a Mac. I've never used a PC in my life; I don't like them."
In 2025, the Microsoft Sound was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant".
Mr. Brian Eno is a godsend for humanity. He is the hero we do not deserve and his music has touched countless souls.
I am so grateful that he is speaking up for the people of Palestine who are immeasurably suffering in the ongoing genocide against them by the state of Israel.
I had no idea who this was, I was searching for a completely different post..
