It's time for another edition of Tech Trumpet.
This week, I have been mostly playing with "Bloom" for the iPhone. Developed by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers, the application offers an audio-visual experience simply by touching the screen or letting the instrument play itself.
"Bloom is an endless music machine, a music box for the 21st century. You can play it , and you can watch it play itself," says Eno.
Rest assured that I didn't just let Bloom create its own composition for 15 minutes. This is a live recording of me playing the instrument and changing between the nine different mood settings.
As I don't currently have a video cable for the iPhone, you'll have to imagine lots of expanding coloured circles and shifting backgrounds as you listen to this. Ideally, I'd be offering you a track of an hour or more, to really get the full effect, but just shy of 15 minutes will have to do for now.
Enjoy,

This feels like some sort of wonderful bathing experience for my ears. It's lovely.
I've no idea what's going on in the app, lots of different moods and colours, but it's a lot of fun to play.
How did u record this?
I took a stereo line out from the iPhone's headphone socket into my Mac's audio line in, and then recorded via GarageBand.
