Music Scape by Brian Eno for iPad

Composer and producer Brian Eno, master of ambient style, did a lot in his 40-year career, but one of his most famous musical features is incredibly minimalistic sound images. Not everyone is excited about them, but those who love ambient should like the new application Ino - Scape. The application, created in collaboration with the musician and programmer Peter Chilvers, allows users to put together a variety of shapes, backgrounds and color schemes - each element that has its own sound - to create their own visual and sound pictures. Creating such music is in no way similar to playing music in the usual sense for us: everything is based on abstract images and their sounds, and not on the instruments. Each form (called Element in the application) has its own special sound, hidden musical rules, so making music in this application is generally similar to a puzzle assembly - but the elements and background sounds play intelligently with each other and adjust their behavior to what is happening around. .



This means that it is practically impossible to create the intended composition correctly, but the entertainment in Scape is to observe how the different parts work together, and you just need to forget about the complete control to get pleasure from the new application. The application starts with a relatively small palette of sounds, but the more you create, the more it offers - after a few minutes it is just interesting to wait for the following elements of the application to offer you. For greater inspiration, Eno and Chilvers offer a full music album recorded using the app and can be played in it. It consists of the broadest sound palette and invites you to explore the Scape in their search.

There are many other interesting features in the application, such as, for example, to put together playlists of Scape (to create a consistent perfect composition in the ambient style), to send your compositions by mail, to use Airplay for playback.

If you're a fan of minimalist music, then Scape is a great way to quickly and easily compose it. On the shoulders of such masters as Hainaut and Chilvers, it became easier to enter the world of beautiful music. True, the iPad app costs as much as $ 5.99, so there you should already assess your needs and possibilities.
