iPhones ‘Bloom’ With Music
Here’s another entry in the ever-popular and ever-growing pantheon of iPhone Apps:
Bloom, developed by experimental/ambient music guru and pioneer Brian Eno, is a “generative mini-sequencer” as gadget blog Gizmodo puts it. Put your finger on the screen to create a note, then move it around or tap other spots to create different notes, and from that, loops. Bloom’s developers claim that there’s nothing else like it for the iPhone (or iPod Touch, don’t forget!), though it’s really just a sequencer with a vaguely artistic graphic interface, rather than a vaguely utilitarian graphic interface.
Brian Eno
That said, Brian Eno is behind it, and he’s had a pretty decent career to put it mildly. If you don’t recognize the name, you’d probably know him best as the guy who produced Coldplay’s latest album and a bunch of U2’s albums. He’s also a living legend within the electronic music community, so this app probably doesn’t stink. Check out Bloom for yourself at the iTunes App Store for $3.99.
