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.

"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

Customer Reviews

Pretty... boring. (2 stars)
Save your money. Hang a windchime and rub your eyes 'til you see spots.

Useful & entertaining (4 stars)
This is perfect for me to use while I work. Most music is too distracting. This app provides enough passive interaction to satisfy my ADD tendancies while allowing me to stay on task. I'll be getting Trope for sure.

Now Verizon iPhone compatible (5 stars)
Delighted that this app is now fully compatible with the Verizon iPhone running iOS 4.2.6. Thanks for updating the app, guys! Now I can be soothed with the newest bells and whistles. :)
