I was disappointed with this app as I did expected more from Eno. Yes, it's Eno style cybernetic elements which can be used to construct cybernetic soundscapes, but it sounds like pieces Eno didn't want for any other project and so donated these scraps. It's like his heart wasn't in the project. The artwork is very poor and makes for a ghastly, silly interface. Overpriced and under delivered. Show more

Scape delights in so many ways, especially so if you've tried your hand at generative composition or ambient music, which is deceptively simple sounding but difficult to do well. Scape does it well and is full of subtle things and small revelations. The control and visual representation are masterful and add dimension. A real sonic playground, magic! It really needs: allow naming scapes and indicating what has been saved or modified. Expose a bit more about the rules of generation at play. Specify duration of scape. App Sharing. A nice external display rather than mirroring the controls. Show more

I've been playing with this for three days. I have to say it is quite original and fun to see how the music comes alive. However, there are some fundamental things missing. 1. Ability to edit your scapes after they have been created 2. Ability to rename the scapes 3. Name a playlist 4. Some way to access more elements. All my scapes were sounding the same after an hour or so. 5. Would be cool to have a WAV or MP3 output 6. Some clue as to the affect of elements based on where they are placed in the scape space 7. Maybe a wave editor to draw a random wave Overall I like the app a lot, I just wish it had some of the more basic editing and naming functions that every app in the world has. Show more

A joy to use, even if the artwork and icons feel a little dated to me (80s throwback?). Rewarding to see more elements become available the more I use it! I appreciate that we are only limited to the sound sources within the app itself. I trust Eno's judgement, as to what works best with ambient music. I'd love to see a few more options in the future: editing previously created scapes, renaming, social sharing between friends, etc, but that does not hinder my current state of enjoying the app!

Awesome. This is how albums need to be going forward. One complaint: there ought to be an iTunes download of the actual record. I find it very relaxing and would love to load it into my nano. Show more

This is a sweet app. You find a sound which is pleasing to you, and you can listen to it while it evolves. Love it. Couple ways it could be better, like making your scapes shareable on Facebook and allowing us to specify how long we want it to play. Maybe a sleep timer too. Also making it available on iphone. But I have to say this is one of the best apps I have found this year. Show more

While I'm still waiting for the full music creation app this does have a nice effect. Sit back, relax.

Awesome app. The progressively unfolding options encourage interaction with the music. My one gripe is that you can't rename the pieces you create, and are left with the rather ambiguous "Scape 1", "Scape 2", etc. for titles. The ability to edit file names is pretty basic, and really quite necessary if you intend to spend a lot of time with the app. I hope to see this in a future update. Show more

I listen to ambient music a lot. This app allows me to never get bored. It doesn't seem like loops - very nuanced and textural. One piece, which lasts about 5 minutes, changes from beginning to end Would like the ability loop a piece, or better still, have it play to a specified length. Show more

Incredibly useful and fun way to explore the genre. It continues to play in the background, so it makes for a great ambient jam machine. Been a fan of Eno since way back when and this app doubles as a great stress reliever and creative tool. Highly recommended. Show more
