Thanks for the pointers, Mark! They will give me a much clearer idea of
what you all are looking for in a sound theme.

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
