    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 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.”

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