Description
Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers are pleased to announce Bloom: 10 Worlds – a developed, augmented and expanded new edition of 2008’s game-changing original Bloom app, which explored uncharted territory in the realm of applications and was dubbed “The First Great iPhone App” by Gizmodo.
Requiring no musical or technical ability, the egalitarian and user-friendly Bloom app enabled anyone of any age to create music, simply by touching the screen. Part instrument, part composition and part artwork, Bloom’s innovative controls allowed users to create elaborate patterns and unique melodies by simply tapping the screen. A generative music player took over when Bloom was left idle, creating an infinite selection of compositions and their accompanying visualisations.
Bloom: 10 Worlds is a reimagining of the original – not simply a remaster. If the original Bloom was a single, then this would be an album. The widely broadened palette of sounds and images can be experienced via 10 new ‘worlds’, each exploring a new direction for Bloom. The first world the user encounters is an echo of the original app, with circles appearing where the user taps, while the later worlds each introduce new combinations of sounds, shapes, colours and rules of behaviour.
Praise for Bloom: 10 Worlds
"Few apps are truly iconic. Bloom was, and now its story lives on in this impressive and necessary follow-up." Stuff TV
Praise for the original Bloom
“The very first iPhone apps were universally dull. And then Bloom came out. It was immediately obvious that something special was happening. The app was interesting on an artistic level – one that made you reconsider the relationship between technology and music. It raised the bar for musical iPhone apps.” Gizmodo
“Hypnotic and ludicrously addictive.” The Guardian
“A relaxing alternative to just about anything else you can do with an iPhone.” Wired
Brian Eno – musician, producer, visual artist, thinker and activist – first came to international prominence as a founding member of Roxy Music, and immediately followed with a series of critically-praised, pioneering and influential solo albums – including the soon-to-be-reissued Discreet Music, Music For Films, Music For Airports and On Land. His visionary production includes albums with David Bowie, Talking Heads, Devo, Laurie Anderson and Coldplay, whilst his long list of collaborations includes recordings with John Cale, David Byrne, Grace Jones and James Blake. Equally notable are his highly-acclaimed visual experiments with light and video, which have been exhibited all over the globe – from the Venice Biennale and the Marble Palace in St. Petersburg to Beijing’s Ritan Park and the sails of the Sydney Opera House.
Eno began collaborating with musician / software designer Peter Chilvers on Will Wright’s computer game Spore. Their shared interest in generative music rapidly lead to the development of a prototype for Bloom in 2008. In the intervening decade, they experimented further with the field, expanding their catalogue of apps with Trope, Scape and Reflection. In that time Chilvers has also acted as an engineer and technical advisor to Eno on a number of other projects. A series of multi-speaker installations around the world laid the groundwork for 2016’s The Ship, and they premiered Bloom: Open Space, a mixed reality installation in Amsterdam in 2018.
In addition to his work with Eno, Chilvers co-founded the Burning Shed label and online store, toured with Underworld’s Karl Hyde as keyboardist and musical director, and has recorded instrumental albums and collaborations with vocalist Tim Bowness.

A Brian Eno ambient album, but interactive. Also, rather like a digital wind chime. Good for falling asleep to. Example of "generative music".
★★★★★Brian Gollnick· Feb 6, 2020
The original "Bloom" app for iOS was ALMOST enough to make me want an iphone. This is not just endlessly enthralling. It's a genuine creative experience rooted in some pretty sophisticated musical knowledge. I SIMPLY LOVE LOVE LOVE IT, and I was SOOOO excited to see it is available in an update form for Android.... UNTIL I saw that it is NOT COMPATIBLE with my Pixel phone.... :(SOOOOO BUMMED OUT! However, I have an older Android tablet that it DOES work on, and it is every bit as fantastic as the original Bloom iOS app. Please don't hesitate to pay for and use this app. My kids LOVE it too. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix the compatibility issue with the Pixel, so I can enjoy it everywhere I go. PLEASE!

Absolutely stunning tool to create ambient soundscapes. The sound quality is very good. Thank you for making a port for Android.
★★★★★Sandy 303· Oct 22, 2025
Superb stuff for fans of Eno and ambient music in general. Great support from the devs. A shame it's the only Android app, there are more for IOS, I'd love to see the others ported over!
★★☆☆☆Rich Szczepanski· Dec 7, 2018
Have a musical idea? This app won't help. It's an algorithmic composer where you tap the screen, and it plays notes and makes lava lamp-like images. These all repeat and are warped on every repeat. The tempo is slow and adjustable and any idea you might have will be warped unrecognizably within a few repeats. This is the kind of app you play with for 10 minutes and never touch again. Unfortunate.
