In case you have not heard, Brian Eno, the father of ambient music, wants you to compose!
Think Eno’s Music for Airports meets music for the subway. The Bloom is at once an instrument, a composer, and source of mesmerizing visual stimulation. Applying the French Composer Eric Satie’s theory of endless composition, the new iPhone application has a touch sensitive screen (of course) that is rigged to sprinkle a series of ominous tones depending on where your fingers come in contact with the screen’s watercolor surface. A delay slider lets you control the density of tones. If the screen goes untouched, the Bloom will create its own everlasting hypnotic compositions. The good news: unlike Eno’s looping Airport tracks the Bloom can end whenever you feel like switching apps. For $3.99 it’s worth getting addicted to.
