Brian Eno Releases Second iPhone App

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday September 21, 2009 @04:53AM from the oblique-strategies-ftw dept.

Brian Eno, or as he is known to many in my office, "God," has released his second iPhone App. A followup to Bloom, this one is called Trope and supposedly creates darker music. You create music by drawing shapes on the iPhone's screen.

The "Trope" link goes directly to the iTunes Store.
Which means if you have iTunes installed, but it isn't open, it launches. Thanks Mr Taco.
10x worse than a PDF link.

I agree that this really smacks of straight-up advertising, but I will say that Bloom really is a pretty cool app; my kids love playing with it to the point that I can't ever use the phone for, you know, making phone calls.
Calling Brian Eno god may also rub people the wrong way, for a lot of reasons. I will say that he has quite a significant body of amazing work. Personally, my favorite is "Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks".
