Music Thing's Tiny Music Makers series
Tom Whitwell of Music Thing writes in:
Who made the Intel Chimes, the THX noise, the Channel 4 music? All this week, I'm running a Tiny Music Special on Music Thing - devoted to the people who write tiny bits of music that we've all heard thousands of times. Highlights include the guy who wrote 20,000 lines of code into a primitive, custom-built, digital synth to make the THX sound, and the aristocratic glam rock singer who was being paid £1,000 a week when Channel 4 used a snippet of one of his songs as their station ID. First up - the KLF fan who wrote the Intel Chimes, using lots of xylophone, because it 'sounds corporate'... (And yes, Jim Reekes is there, too...)Link
