Lesson plan

Bloom (software)

Bloom is a generative music application for iOS created by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers. The software allows for the creation of simple ambient tracks through touch-screen controls and a variety of settings, with created songs looping parts as opposed to a traditional track runtime. It is bare-bones compared to other music programs, as no instruments, melodies or audio files can be added to compositions. Eno and Chilvers have since released two related apps; Trope in 2009 and Scape in 2012.
