Huh, I might try it... and then forget I had it and then after a month wonder to myself why music sucks so bad...

There was a two-page interview with Eno in the Dutch national paper de Volkskrant today in which he talked about this and other interesting views.

Shit. Scape, Bloom, Trope and Air have been around for 6-7 years now. The problem with them is that playing around with, overlapping, the short loops provided gets pretty damn boring pretty damn quick. It's not "generative music" so much as telephone ring tones you can play over and over and over.

A couple years ago Robert Rich had a similar app (Somnium), with loops from his studio, but the loops were much longer and integrated much better with each other. Unfortunately the app never got updated sfaik for the newer iOSes and now doesn't work anymore.

Is Eno going to drop out of recording to work on developing this app, and change his name to iEno?

He might have given the answer with....


B.t.w. I didn't know one of the tunes on this one was Belgian Drop

Scape is very, very fun. It is clear that the design behind it is quite complex and well-thought out.
