I love how legendary producer/musician Brian Eno is reduced to "the Win 95 chime guy"
What a terrible title for this article.
Revolutionary musical legend reduced to “win95 chimes guy”
For shame.
Who.... Cares?
"Hey guys - my mechanic's cousin thinks Toyota's comments on international politics are way off base"
He's a composer of some notoriety using that to call out how Microsoft is aiding genocide. I think if more people become aware of that, the declaration is useful.
Listen, I'm withholding judgement on the whole thing until I hear from the guy who designed the recycle bin icon.
If you're not familiar with Brian Eno by name, I'm certain you've heard his work, because he's produced albums with David Bowie, The Talking Heads, U2, Coldplay, Devo, James and he's composed music not just for Microsoft, but also for David Lynch's movies, the Spore video game, the Londom Museum of Art.
He is so much more than that. That's just the relevant but.
Didn't the dude invent the ambient music genre? I, like, get the kind of person who doesn't know who Brian Eno is, but dude is sort of a huge deal in music and has influenced modern sound in such a profound way.
As opposed to some rando on lemmy whose only contribution to the artistic output of humanity has been to whine that Brian Eno isn't pro-genocide enough.
Perhaps if I increase my artistic output more then you'd listen to me?
Or I'll do what you did and make a big deal out of not caring what you think because I disagree with you.
Go for it?
Brian Eno is a world renowned musician, producer, composer, etc...
Should probably do a quick Google search before acting like he's some unknown.
