Musician Joe Porter played both the Windows XP startup and shutdown sounds using various percussion instruments, accompanied by a string quartet. They included a crystalphone, glockenspiel, hammered dulcimer, flairdrum, steel pan, and lots more.
As for the origin of these classic sounds, they can be traced back to composer Bill Brown and Emmy Award-winning sound designer Tom Ozanich. This duo created the startup chime and other system sounds for Windows XP using live orchestral recordings. They were accompanied by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra and recorded in the key of E♭ Major.
