As Brian Eno created the sound of boot Windows 95

When Windows 95 only developed, its creators have offered the legendary musician Brian Eno to write a tune that sounded during the loading of the operating system.



Brian is known primarily as the author of music in the style of ambient music - long compositions with deep, "enveloping" sound and "floating" tunes, but then had to compose something shorter. Eno himself talks about the process of creating so:

«This order found me when I was creatively completely devastated. I'm working on my music, but the idea was not at all. And I was inspired by the fact that someone came and said, "That's a particular problem - it is necessary to solve it".

The agent told me: We need to work inspired was universal, optimistic, modern, sensual and exciting "- the whole list of adjectives, but in the end, he added," and it should last for three and a quarter seconds ».

I thought it would be fun to write a short melody. This is how to handle a little gem.

In fact, I wrote 84 melodies miniature. I am completely immersed in the world of small, short works. All these microsecond so captivated me that I overcame creative stupor and went back to work. Later, when a mini-tracks had been completed, the melodies, lasting three minutes seemed endless to me ».

If you take this brief sketch of the sound and stretch up to two and a half minutes, it becomes similar to the music of Brian Eno, which we can hear in any of his albums - smooth, airy and whimsical.

By the way, creating a sound download for Windows 95, the musician worked for Apple Macintosh, and claimed: "I have never in my life did not use PC. I do not like them ».
