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.

A piano without keys
Don't get me wrong, that isn't a bad thing. I'm just saying that It's possible, once you've really gotten the feel of it, to play songs on it. Okay. just one note at a time, but i've been able to tap out a couple of tunes, abeit with a lot of misses. I can't describe how you get used to it. It's kinda like you understand the difference in pitch is represented by vertical distance. Overall quite fun, nice to let it sit by itself and play too.
