Eno Blooms

October 13th, 02008 by Alexander Rose - Twitter: @zander

Brian Eno has conspired with Peter Chilvers on a recently released iPhone app called Bloom that allows you to make your own generative music.  (see video above)  While at best I would be labeled as “musically challenged,” I found it addictive and easy to make a soundtrack to my daily activities with this tool.  Very fun, and definitely a higher brow activity than Guitar Hero.

  • Davide Bocelli
    I am a long time curious of generative music. I have Bloom and I love it.
  • It doesn't get better than this in 2D. Brian, can this be released for windows/mac as a music creation program that can double as art (like 77 Mill)??
