It’s not for the cock, it’s for the familiarity

What makes a musician great? Is it the skill in which he shreds his guitar? Or the insights into humanity he offers through his lyrics? Or maybe it’s the complexity of the music he plays?

Well, if you answered yes to any of the above (except the first question - that just makes you an idiot) you won’t admire the musician I’m about to expose you to. If you instead believe that a great musician is merely someone who creates enjoyable music, then I think you will respect this man’s (or woman’s) work. Either way, I think you will find it entertaining.

Windows Riddem opens with a very familiar sound, which then holds as the theme for the remaining minute or so. In everyday life you would describe this initial sound as mundane, habitual and unenticing, but now it is delightful, unexpected and surprising.

It’s not something you’ll hear in a club anytime soon, nor on the radio. It certainly won’t be the next big thing, and I doubt it will be anyone’s preferred track for the summer. But maybe you’ll hear it play somewhere, at a time you wouldn’t expect, and if you do, you will smile.

So give it a minute of your time, start it up and be amused by this interpretation of home-computing. When it’s finished, it will shut down.

I don’t know who created Windows Riddem, and a search on Google offers no clues. If you do know who created it, or if you are the artist please get in touch so I can give full credit.
