Hi Chris Thanks for the pointer to the sound theme, here are some comments:
In general, I think we want something "lighter", more ethereal. Quite a number of the instruments seemed to be full-bodied, more like piano's than harpsichords, if you know what I mean. The -connect-3 and -disconnect-3 sounds seemed very muted, stifled almost. Empty-Trash sounds magical, but not related to trash at all. I don't think we want anything harsh like a shredder, but we want something that sounds appropriate, like a match striking or paper crumpling or paper landing in a trash can. Error-1 was appropriately cautionary but still pleasant, while error-2 sounds like a prelude to a shower scene of the ketchup variety. Notification-2 was interesting, but seems to choke at the end. I liked the peaceful lift at the end of shutdown-1 and -4. shutdown-3 seemed sad, but -2 had a gentle slowing and nice lilt in the finish too. I think -4 takes the prize for me. All of the startup sounds strike me as being a little mournful. Hope that helps! Mark
