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
Very unique. Worth the money.
Great app, I'm happy to see a usable instrument. I have some requests:
Some sort of tempo indication so you can place notes more easily. Now it's a bit difficult to count the 'measure' until it's too late.
Ability to move, change velocity, and delete specific notes.
More tones and the ability to combine them.
Ability to export as midi or aiff. I suppose line out would work.
Ability to save and layer compositions.
Ability to play nonrepeated notes over a frozen pattern.
Please don't think these limitations are a reason not to purchase this app. I have over a hundred apps and this is a new favorite. Very relaxing, beautiful and easy to use. Highly recommended! 5 stars.
Crackling Sounds
I love this app.
Sound was perfect the first time playing with it but now there's crackling static sound.
All my audio (music, etc) sounds fine,...there's definitely some audio problems with this app
Almost there but not yet...
Would be a great app if they fix the crackling in the 2G touch. It makes it really hard to be relaxed when the crackling is so loud!!!
