Funny this blog post is from 2005. I use to have the THX sound play when logging into Windows (sad times).
The Music Thing blog has some other great posts about music and instrument hacks.
The reference to the C code is here:
"The score consists of a C program of about 20,000 lines of code. The output of this program is not the sound itself, but is the sequence of parameters that drives the oscillators on the ASP. That 20,000 lines of code produce about 250,000 lines of statements of the form "set frequency of oscillator X to Y Hertz".
