[m4lvolio]

what a cacophony. I'd rather be listening to a cat being hit by a car while giving birth. Or Britney Spears.

[XIONASPROS]

pretty circles))))

[ja555cd]

he made the most listened to 3.5 seconds in the last year

it is the windows vista welcome melody

it was composed in demisemi quavers

[w3bt3k]

@ja555cd Eno did the startup sound for XP. Robert Fripp did the startup sound for Vista.

about the Electroplankton debate:

The original idea was Eno's. Look up generative music and Sseyo Koan (which Eno helped design). Electroplankton just took those ideas, and Eno & Chilvers felt they should take it back.

BTW Peter Chilvers has a free download-only album called "Free" which is quite good

[zenlively]

hey thats funny my name is koan and i love brian eno and his music especially with bauhaus

[ZoomBackCamera]

Did he ever collaborate with Bauhaus? I know they covered his song "Third Uncle" but I'm pretty sure that's it...

[MutatedLove]

i really like this app. not so much creating my own sounds tho, I like to just listen. It's very very soothing, yet depressing. So it helps me both clear my head, and think very very hard. I can listen to it for hours.

[DJRyzomatic]

Brian Eno wrote many of the microsoft default sounds from 95 on..hes been doing this for a while!

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Tell me that isn't true

:goes off to burn the few Eno cds he has :(:

[warbastard]

this is something i would get bored of very quickly

[H4NDCRAFTED]

I'm not saying Eno stole anything but he knew that the tanorion or whatever its called is about, plus electroplankton...they should of come up with something better than this because it feels like a ripoff otherwise.

Good app but it's been done better so a little pointless now.

[314noceu]

Fuck kids are ignorant today. Do you have ANY idea who Brian Eno even is?

Electroplankton would not exist without Brian Eno.

Morons... *facepalm*

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Yes I have some of the albums and know how his ambient works came about. Nobody said that electroplankton came before Brian Eno, you missed the point.

[314noceu]

So what exactly were you trying to imply? Hmm? I'm listening.

[H4NDCRAFTED]

If he was going to put his name to something, that it would be different to alot of programs that are being produced atm, whether influenced by him abient genre or whatever.

Nothing more than that really.

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Electroplankton on the ds is a 1000 times better, i wish they would bring that out on iphone

[cheapspace]

you realize that this is very similar to electro plankton on the Nintendo ds right?

[gulahLOL]

you idiots. brian eno was on the forefront of generative music. he didnt steal anything from anyone, nor did Electroplankton steal something from eno.

[chickenringNYC]

vipvic is absolutely right, and i will prove it with a video response.

[vipvic]

OMG! this was stolen from the Nintendo DS Game Electroplankton!!!

[TimmytheTinyTurtle]

Do you have it? I always wanted it.

[psilosome]

Oh yeah, Brian Eno totally ripped off some Nintendo game for the idea ambient music.

[baskesis]

That's exactly how it happened. Eno got into his time machine back in 1971, traveled to 2006, stole the idea of generative music from Nintendo, went back to 1971, and then recorded 35 years' worth of music ripping off a hand-held video game.

Nintendo then stole time travel from Eno and went back to 1971 to sue him, but the court tossed out the suit on the technicality that the plaintiffs hadn't been born yet.

It's all very complicated.

[314noceu]

Lol touche.....

[cifrancgx]

This is a very cool app! Great to listen to while surfing the web or just relaxing.

[brainstormoperations]

Brian Eno has influenced my entire musical career and now he has reinvented my iPhone! OMG! The coolest app out at the moment.

[pktoronto]

Maybe if I smoked a lot of pot I'd have reason to stare at my iphone making random chime noises.

[ClintEastman]

Great app, have become slightly addicted!
