Description
Air is a generative audio-visual work created by musician / software designer Peter Chilvers and Irish vocalist Sandra O’Neill. Based on concepts developed by Brian Eno, with whom Chilvers created Bloom, Air assembles vocal and piano samples into a beautiful, still and ever changing composition, which is always familiar, but never the same.
Air features four ‘Conduct’ modes, which let the user control the composition by tapping different areas on the display, and three ‘Listen’ modes, which provide a choice of arrangement. For those fortunate enough to have access to multiple iPhones and speakers, an option has been provided to spread the composition over several players.
Recommended for headphones and external speakers.
"Air is like 'Music for Airports' made endless - which is how I always wanted it to be" - Brian Eno
Customer Reviews
Loved Bloom, hated this
In listen mode, it's monotonous, even by Ambient standards.
In create mode, your options are extremely limited, with essentially 3 low piano, 3 high piano, 3 high voice, and 3 low voice samples to choose from, based on the interface (which is a series of 12 triangles on the screen).
No wonder listen mode is so monotonous.
I suppose that this may appeal to minimalist ambient fanatics, but this is probably getting delted off my phone before the week is out.
I feel like I wasted my money.
Absolutely Brilliant!
A single concept executed to perfection.
another great addition to the Brian Eno series!
very much like Bloom - simple, elegant and beautiful. makes perfect peaceful background music. unfortunately the screen cannot be shut off while listening, which makes this app is a real battery killer- my ipod usually doesnt last much more than an hour while running this app. the sleep timer is a nice addition, though i wish the sound would fade out more graudally when closing the app.
