This is cute but I think it violates the artistic integrity of his piece. The whole point of the 95 startup chime as a piece of art was that Eno took the job because he was fascinated with the idea of creating musical art entirely within a tiny time interval.

Imagine if Walt Whitman became interested in writing haiku for a little while, but because he'd previously written epic poems, hey, let's stretch out his haiku to epic length. No.

You're not wrong about the "point" of Eno's original approach to the chime, but I think you're taking things a bit too seriously and I respectfully disagree that it "violates the artistic integrity of his piece".

I suggest you watching the interview of Zane Lowe with both Eno[1] and his nephew Fred "again." Gibson [2], It's clearly apparent that Eno loves this kind of "disrespectful" experiments.
