Description

Deluxe generative edition of Brian Eno's acclaimed 2017 ambient album, Reflection.

"REFLECTION is the most recent of my Ambient experiments and represents the most sophisticated of them so far. My original intention with Ambient music was to make endless music, music that would be there as long as you wanted it to be. I wanted also that this music would unfold differently all the time - ‘like sitting by a river’: it’s always the same river, but it’s always changing. But recordings - whether vinyl, cassette or CD - are limited in length, and replay identically each time you listen to them. So in the past I was limited to making the systems which make the music, but then recording 30 minutes or an hour and releasing that. REFLECTION in its album form - on vinyl or CD - is like this. But the app by which REFLECTION is produced is not restricted: it creates an endless and endlessly changing version of the piece of music.” - Brian Eno

Great song but app needs fixing

Andrew91992 on

I experience an issue with the app when listening is interrupted by any notification then it pauses automatically but does not start where it left off upon playing, forcing me to restart the song each time I get a notification, causing the app to lose its purpose in playing an ongoing iterative track. This is disappointing since everything else about it is great.

Beautiful

Duncan's Gardeners on

Reflection is beautiful and has given me years of enjoyment. Now I wish very much that the developers would return to it and adapt it to Spatial Audio.

App no longer appears on Apple TV Home Screen

Yoda Mann on

I can still open the app from the App Store on Apple TV but the icon is gone from my Apple TV home page. Why?

Almost amazing.

Foofoo3784858 on

I want to love this but there’s a super shrill (12,000+hz tone- like someone standing next to you screaming Eeeeeeeeeeee) that has been introduced into the generative mix. It is ear splitting and so painful and really destroys the joy of what could be. I’m hoping it’s something that’s just part of summer, if it’s sticking around in the fall, I guess it’s time to delete this. Really sad.

The falling asleep app I’ve settled on

EJ Prior Lake on

I enjoy falling asleep to white noise, music, etc., And I have tried a lot of apps with good success on quite a few. I balked at the price for this one at first, but it has become the one that never gets old for me. I really hope that they Will make it available as an Apple Watch app so I can use it even when my phone isn’t nearby.

Season Choices?

jsolony on

It’s a fantastic ambient music composition, and ranks among Eno’s best ambient work. But for the price, at the very least we should be able to choose between the seasons. I got it recently and therefore have “Autumn”. I would very much like to hear or see the differences in the other seasons, but they appear to be previous versions, no longer available in the app. Would the developer consider allowing the old seasons to still be chosen within the app? (If/when that happens, I’ll update to five stars!)

Wonderful, relaxing, hypnotic and immersive

munigeek on

I never buy apps, but have enjoyed Brian Eno for years from Music for Airports, Discreet Music and more recent work. The app does not loop but explores similar sounds and themes in a relaxing and gentle way. I use this almost daily for meditation listening on bose headphones and find it the perfect way to escape and recharge. From the number of times (hours) listened it’s cost me less than a penny or two. My only regret is that it won’t play over my Sonos set, though the intimacy of the experience would be diminished.

Not much for the price

Pheonix_221 on

While I appreciate that this was suppose to be an artistic expression, and I usually blame myself for being duped into spending too money on something with little value, I feel a little blindsided by this app. Judging by the interactive experiences provided by previously released apps, I was expecting much the same here and was left completely wanting. The listener has no control whatsoever of the listening experience. Art, yes, I get it, but I could have easily put this piece on loop for free in Apple Music and not known the difference. My ear is apparently not discerning enough to care if there are subtle changes in the composition. Also, the “space frequencies” are absolute nails on a chalk board. I’m likely going to delete this app because I can’t stand them. UPDATE: While I’m still going to caution all comers about the price and warn them about the lack of interactivity, I’m here to admit that I have NOT deleted the app from my phone after all and have spent the last two weeks listening to it for most of my work day. It really is oddly addictive and very comforting. I’ve also found that paired with a nature sound such as rain or wind it makes an excellent study/focus tool that also blocks out background noise. I’ve even gotten accustomed to the “space frequency” sounds that have actually served to draw my attention back to the music and refocus me when I start to drift.

Seasons?

MishaJ358 on

I am enjoying this app quite a bit, but unsure of when the seasons switch. It is, after all, not summer where I am.

HomePod Stereo

Audiostar on

This app is a work of art I will not deny that. I am running it on Apple TV 4K. Audio was a little tricky for had to tweak it from only running through TV speakers and not my Apple Homepods. I run my Homepods pairing 2 speakers for stereo playback and sound is only coming out 1. It’s a spacious playback but not as dimensional as hoped, as say playback via headphones. Be nice to upgrade app to have more control of audio stereo output. If anyone knows a fix, please feel free to share.
