Now can I just ask who has got Windows on their computer at home? Don't be nervous make noise...yes if you got Windows you probably recognize this picture... Keyboard Error: Keyboard not responding. Press any key to continue. or this one here: Windows has detected that you work for some kind of bank... what do you want to do? Scarper. Pray. Retire and leave the rest for us to do it for you? So what we have done for our big commission - we have orchestrated those sounds you get off Windows. W
hat about that? We have written them out for orchestra. This is the Windows startup music... Yeah? Recognise that? You've Got Mail sound, that sounds like this... And you know when you any mess up your computer and it won't make any more progress, it makes this sound... Yeah? And the closedown music, that sounds like this... And what we found, ladies and gentlemen if you put all those sounds together... you end up with the waltz. A waltz, which is made out of the sounds you get on Windows. T
his is going to be the very first performance of the Windows Waltz. We hope you are going to enjoy it.

Th entire orchestra saying “shit” all together is music to my ears.

@toster387

I can't believe this dude made a bunch of talented professionals do a Waltz made up of Windows noises.

@tempoticandmeepstar7584

I wonder if these players just have written on their sheet music, “Two measure rest, Sh*t”

@visceralrat

found this accidentally, still enjoying myself

@WJen8

If my computer sounded like this symphony I wouldn't even mind it breaking down 😂

@Gallade400

After the error sound, all of them said "Shit", which is the correct response right after.

@ishitamathur1614

This is actually kind of genius

@CHAOS_6E

When you don’t know if you want to be a code developer or a musician

@Poyostar

Huh... I didn't think I'd ever see the day where someone would go and make an entire waltz based off of Windows XP sound effects. Never underestimate the power of one's creativity, folks.

@akashbalaji1806

He seems like a fun person, I wouldn't be shocked if he pointed the stick at the crowd and shouted EXPECTO PATRONUM

@ericc2129

This is brilliant. I want to see this orchestra live.

@ares679

Windows: * a band played it's trademark sound Apple: :(

@RainbowYak

I actually really love this Windows waltz. It sounds like something that Strauss would've composed. When I close my eyes and listen to this, I see a beautiful castle in 19th century Vienna with a lavish garden where well-dressed couples stroll on a sunny Sunday afternoon, flirting and marveling at the white marble and gold fountains.
