I’ve been an Eno fan my entire life, but I had no idea that he invented that sound. I wonder if he gets a royalty for every sale?
It reminds me of the “DUN DUN” sound from Law & Order, composed by Mike Post. I read that he’s collected over $20 million in royalties from that sound alone.
When the guy who composed the song “Itsy Bitsy, Teeny Weenie, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” died, I read that he called the song a “non-stop money making machine.”

One doesn’t really “invent” sounds so much as compose them. Inventing would be more like creating the theremin.
As to the iconic Law & Order sound, damn, that’s a pretty sweet gig. Do something once and ride it for decades.

When he died he called it…? I assume before he died?
