Description
Air is a generative audio-visual work created by musician / software designer Peter Chilvers and Irish vocalist Sandra O’Neill. Based on concepts developed by Brian Eno, with whom Chilvers created Bloom, Air assembles vocal and piano samples into a beautiful, still and ever changing composition, which is always familiar, but never the same.
Air features four ‘Conduct’ modes, which let the user control the composition by tapping different areas on the display, and three ‘Listen’ modes, which provide a choice of arrangement. For those fortunate enough to have access to multiple iPhones and speakers, an option has been provided to spread the composition over several players.
Recommended for headphones and external speakers.
"Air is like 'Music for Airports' made endless - which is how I always wanted it to be" - Brian Eno

Ratings and Reviews
Exceptional
As a pretty big Eno fan I felt compelled to get this app. I wasn't disappointed. Fantastic sounds, easy to use, and, although perhaps not as detailed or in depth as Eno's work, I still find myself opening this app for a listen often. Would be nice to have a way to somehow sync this with your iTunes library for easier access with the rest of your music but not a big thing. 5 stars.
Beautiful.
Air is wonderful. Ambient and psychedelic sound and vision. Listening through my best earphones the random compositions caressed and soothed me for a good while. Trying my hand at playing a song soon had me mesmerized with delight. 5 stars.
Close but not quite
As someone who enjoys using Bloom quite a lot I was slightly let down by this app. In short, it doesn't feel like you have as much control and versatility compared to Bloom, and whilst it does indeed sound very "Eno-ish", I wasn't thrilled with the quality of the samples either. One for the ambient diehards, perhaps.
