As a fan of Brian Eno's work and coordinator of the CT-Generative Music project (a CT-Collective project), I cannot miss this application for my iPhone.
Trope is a generative music app for iPhone created by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers.
Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers developed "Bloom" together, and "Trope" is very similar to it. It's the same setup, where you tap your finger in different areas of the screen to create sounds that then loop and change over time. Trope uses more drones and pads than Bloom, however, so the music you'll get it quite different and, as the developers say, darker than Bloom.
The visuals have also gotten a big bump up, offering much more variation in patterns and colors than Bloom.

I am very impressed with how the eno apps work and the music they generate. I think the possibilities for these devices to be used within the world of music therapy and as a relaxation device is untapped . it will be interesting to see what else comes down the pipe from brain one of the electronic music world. :)

Dear Eterogenus,
First time I meet this application. As a Brian Eno enthusiast I thank you for showing a nice sample.
