Bloom.





















Ever since i acquired this lovely device life has been so much better.For all you Ipod Touch/Iphone users out there i definitely recommend this App.I literally can sit and play with this for hours at a time.Whether your a fan of Brian Eno's ambient music or not this will surely keep you amused.If you never heard of Brian Eno he is the father of ambient music and one of the greatest musical minds of our time.







Unlike most music-creation apps, it doesn't take an existing musical instrument and cram it awkwardly into the iPhone's interface. Instead, it creates a completely new "instrument" designed specifically for the iPhone. Essentially, you're provided with a colored screen and a quiet drone. As you tap the screen in various places, different tones play depending on where you tapped. They then loop, creating a unique piece of music on the fly, one that changes gradually on its own once you stop tapping.

You can also just let it create music on its own, coming up with a new, unique piece every time you run it. It's also beautiful, with the tones appearing as colored spots that slowly fade. It's as satisfying to actively play with as it is to let do its own thing.

Bloom is available on the App Store now for $3.99, and if you're a fan of ambient music or music in general, you'll be wanting to get it right now.
