Brian Eno just made my day. 

He’s released an ambient music application for the iPhone – Bloom (App Store link). 

“Bloom is an endless music machine, a music box for the 21st century. You can play it, and you can watch it play itself.” – Brian Eno

Description:

Developed by ambient pioneer Brian Eno and musician / software designer Peter Chilvers, Bloom explores uncharted territory in the realm of applications for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Part instrument, part composition and part artwork, Bloom’s innovative controls allow anyone to create elaborate patterns and unique melodies by simply tapping the screen. A generative music player takes over when Bloom is left idle, creating an infinite selection of compositions and their accompanying visualisations.

Features:

  • 9 different mood settings
  • Random mood shuffle
  • Adjustable delay
  • Shake to clear
  • Evolve when idle

    There is a god and the onE-Eno is HE. I was thinking that the iPhone would be a perfect platform for such a beast, but never expected it so fast. I will be downloading Bloom after work. I be very happy.

    Would like to see it updated to support more variety in the texture of the ambient music.

    Greetings! I just wanted to share my abstract music game ‘NANO’ – it may be up your alley, hope you enjoy. It’s part of my strategy to recoup costs for studio gear and tour expenses.

      something to think about

      I’m struck by the insidious, computer-driven tendency to take things out of the domain of muscular activity and put them into the domain of mental activity. The transfer is not paying off. Sure, muscles are unreliable, but they represent several million years of accumulated finesse. — Brian Eno
