Relax, It's Just Bloom...

Bloom, is an iPhone/iPod Touch Application that may bring peace and harmony to the world...well, OK, an exaggeration, but for lovers of ambient sound, this may be just what you are looking for. Or you can just consider this your Geek of the Week Tech Tip.

Developed by ambient pioneer Brian Eno and musician/software designer Peter Chilvers, Bloom explores uncharted territory in the realm of applications for the iPhone and iPod touch. Part instrument, part composition and part artwork, Bloom’s innovative controls allow anyone to create elaborate patterns and unique melodies by simply tapping the screen. A generative music player takes over when Bloom is left idle, creating an infinite selection of compositions and their accompanying visualisations.
