Appmuse

It was a great app when it worked on my older iPad 2. With the updates, it's no longer compatible. I really enjoyed the app, too.

that’s the thorn.

With plenty to play with, this ambient music app has lots of flexibility. New elements are introduced as one gets used to working with the program, keeping overwhelm at a minimum, fascination at a maximum. In some ways, the best to come out of the Eno-Chilvers partnership to date. We'll done! Show more

Audiobus please.

Popular music is about feeling anticipation and then finally getting what is expected. Ambient music (at least with the droning and floating varieties) releases that idea. Nature sounds can be pleasing because, although their are certain signatures to each sound, it's never the same way twice so your mind gives up "expecting". With Scape you choose the elements and the background and then let it live! It's not about giving you a million options (although Scape has plenty), It's about choosing things and then sitting back and seeing (hearing) what they do. This app also adds new elements as you continue to play with it; I can't believe new elements are popping up even a year after I bought it! Think of this as a living, breathing ambient album (animal)! Show more

Most Excellent! as an interactive work as well as an ambient release by eno/ chilvers

This is an enthralling app that has engaged my creativity. Usually, an app will fall by the wayside or even be deleted. Only a very few apps continue to hold my attention. Scape has grabbed hold like no other app has. The wish list for most apps is huge since they need lots of help improving their concepts or fixing bugs. Scape only has a few: 1. Naming playlists. 2. Editing existing playlists by adding and rearranging scapes. 3. Combining moods. 4. Make Scapes extensible so I can make it my own with new moods, backgrounds, and elements that use my own sounds and rules. Well done Brian and Peter! Well done indeed. Show more

I purchased this based on my good times with Bloom. Great follow-up? Spent hours just building and tweaking. It relaxes me. I'd ask for a few more sounds along the minimalistic lines but that's it. Perhaps some ambient space themes. But what do I know. The interface is simplistic which forces me not to complicate but rather immerse and enjoy? Show more

Same bank of cheesy new age sounds that have been around since late 80s... and graphics to match. If that's what you're looking for, then you'll love this. Almost no control over the evolution of the 'scape' and documentation is completely absent. Overall, the music and visuals seem to be stuck in another decade.. kinda like that person you know who looked in the mirror 25 years ago and said, "ahh...there's my look" and never moved on. I know this is a little harsh. Obviously a ton of work and thought went into it. But, if I were an artist on the receiving end of such a review, I'd find it helpful. Show more

Already a great app for those that enjoy ambient music and/or creativity. The new update allows you to NAME each new scape you create, opening up a whole new level of expression and fun. This feature should have been in the original version, but it's here now. I find the generated sound collages excellent as background music while working. The app is also enjoyable for more focused scape creation. Show more

Great to fall asleep to ?

Needs ability to name songs and playlists. Would like ability to tweak chord progression as current one is too eerie. Would recommend if those were fixed, not so much without.

It is indeed Generative, Downtempo, ambient and quite a trip. It's sort of a celebrity guided tour of Mixtikl with good results guaranteed and a lot of the twiddling of randomness behind-the-scenes… There isn't much to criticize except for the fact that the gain is too high on a couple of the Rhodes and synth type sounds and the jarring can, not always hurt the subtlety of some of the other sounds and the spaces between them... A normalize for them wouldn't be asking too much. Maybe a couple of little living creatures to wander around the scapes and fuse or fight or both. It is worth the price, if the developers continue to provide content or flexibility in importation options like other offerings similarly branded. The ability to use your own sounds is the key to immortality for sound software... Show more

I love Scape! It is my favorite of the 4 apps. Only thing I'd change: The other generative music apps have a sleep timer- it would be great if Scape had one too. As a musician, I love to improvise with Scape live ( or along with someone 'playing' Scape), and a timer would allow for a finite amount if time for a particular improvisation. Also, as someone who can't listen to music all night, it is awesome to have on for an hour or so before bed, but it would be awesome if it would shut itself off. Show more

OK, let me say that I love this app. I have had Scape for sometime now. I would really like to have reporting capabilities to GarageBand, and other recording apps so I can build songs. Scape can be great as a stand alone, but having the option to add more voices would really bring Scape up to the next level. I appreciate the new soundstage you add, all that is left now is making Scape AUDIO BUS compliant. Why is it not when so many apps are already? Pleas add this feature ASAP! A sure 5 STAR THEN! Thank you. BC AUDIO BUS THIS PLEASE, PLEASE, AUDIO BUS THIS NOW! We need it on the bus! NEBBENNY Show more

Bloom, Air, Trope: I thought they all were terrific. This, however, changes the landscape entirely. It's dark ambient: think Shutov Assembly or On Land, only this time you set the parameters for the music. Among the very greatest music apps out there, and a worthy entry into Eno and Chilver's discographies. Show more

Granted, you are going to need to love ambient music for this app to be enjoyable to you. But, if you are, spend your $5 right now. This thing is terrific, and terrific in a way that Eno's previous app projects, Bloom & Trope (and whatever the other one is), just aren't. It amazingly easy to create really lovely "generative music" pieces with this app. I love it. There is a lot of room for development. I'm not sure a full version for iPhone is practical, but an iPhone player of the scapes one creates would be amazing. Also, I'd like to see cloud storage of user files. Show more

I love this app. Easy to use, beautiful visually and sonically. I use it everyday, and it just gets better and better.

This app is so well thought out! The beauty is how simple yet deep this thing is. I think it's one of my favorite apps! As you work with it, more sounds for scapeing continue to appear keeping me even more in the creative mode. A beautifully unique interface and beautifully programmed. I just passed #300 scape and am still going. What more can I say? Show more

...is an iPhone version. This app is a great way for audience and musicians to interact. If an iPhone version ever became available, that would make the interaction truly portable. Show more
