The father of ambi­ent music, Brian Eno, has teamed up with musician/programmer Peter Chil­vers to cre­ate a neat applic­a­tion called Bloom. Touted as a “part instru­ment, part com­pos­i­tion and part art­work,” Bloom cre­ates some­thing what we could call a new instru­ment designed spe­cific­ally for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The idea is to tap a colored screen in vari­ous places and pro­duce your own music. After you’ve fin­ished tap­ping, the newly cre­ated track is played in a loop, thus cre­at­ing a new music on the fly. While music is played, the tones appear as colored spots that slowly fade.

In addi­tion to cre­at­ing your own music, Bloom can also cre­ate songs on its own using a gen­er­at­ive algorithm.

To sum it up, this applic­a­tion cer­tainly won’t help you be more pro­duct­ive, but it could def­in­itely help you relax from time to. Four bucks is all they ask and once you try it out, you should love Bloom.
