Wikipedia notes: "Deep Note is the name of THX's audio logo, a distinctive synthesized crescendo sound that glissandos from a high pitch to a rumbling low pitch. It was created by Dr. James A. Moorer,[1] then an employee of the Lucasfilm Computer Division, in late 1982.[2] The sound is used on trailers for THX-certified movie theatres, home video releases, video games and in-car entertainment; it debuted in the THX trailer shown before the 1983 premiere of Return of the Jedi in Los Angeles.[2]”
Kevin Braheny Fortune created an album, “Galaxies”, in 1988, which seems to include a nod to Dr. Moorer’s Deep Note...but Deep Note predates it by several years.
