This is an interview One More Thing did with sound designer and composer Jim Reekes, who reveals the stories behind the sounds of the Apple Macintosh.
He talks about the creation of the Mac startup sound, his work on Quicktime and other audio features we take for granted on the Mac.
It’s a fairly long interview, but the interviewer does a great job of letting Reekes talk, and Reekes shares some interesting Mac sound secrets.
i dig when he talks about the tri-tone and references brian eno. this is far from a usual bs interview.
