Quote (Ugo @ July 07 2009, 14:25) | @ Olivier: actually, it is. First four notes of TB: E-A-E-B; four notes of Intel Inside jingle: C sharp-F sharp-C sharp-G sharp. They are the same notes three semitones below. Take a look at this, especially the bit with the "Handel pitch shifted up 4 semitones": it sounds almost exactly like the start of TB. What a pity that Mike's original melody hasn't found its place into this clever analysis. |
Throwing some of my cents in: the big difference between the jingle and Mike Oldfield's theme, though, is that Tubular Bells is definitely minor key, while the Intel jingle suggests a major key. In that way, they're totally different things, because the context is very different.
By the way, that analysis was pretty amusing. There's also this really cool page that explains a bit of the making of the jingle, as well as awesome stories about the THX Deep Note and Brian Eno's Microsoft sound, and others.
