Trope, designed by ambient pioneer Brian Eno and musician / software designer Peter Chilvers, expands further on the ideas introduced by Bloom, their acclaimed iPhone application. Darker in tone, Trope immerses users in endlessly ...
Trope is along with Bloom and Reflection a wonderful collaboration between Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers fusing Eno s ideas about generative music with the computing power and portability of iOS devices Compared to Bloom Trope is more flowing though perhaps a bit darker Unfortunately as of iOS 10 this app seems to have developed a bug that speeds up the sleep timer and may also affect playback While I recommend all these Eno Chilvers apps very strongly I d suggest waiting for this to be patched             Lovely app lately afflicted by a bug richardgrant
I let it develop for hours and hours it keeps changing and is as interesting as it is ignorable                     So soothing johnemr
Warm therapeutic adult play and why not kids They d love it even if attention span would keep it short Opens creative doors the simplicity and perhaps even limited or focused direction of these glorious Eno apps are an asset not a limitation                     Love it DonRellman
Could be much more representative of Eno s style of music creation The tones are limited there is no way to modify the attack of sounds or to make them last Also there seems to be no way to switch off the random background noises that happen without the users control Could be a great thing I like the panning function where the sound is placed left or right depending on where on the screen you click In Bloom it is much more intuitive to get used to the different moods I understand they are just different modes of different keys as well as different colors By get used to I mean learning what each one actually changes and using it in combination with the echo in order to make interesting modulations and stuff of that nature And there are 12 moods like zodiac that s cool I feel like I have barely any control with Trope Bloom is better for me in that respect though I feel bloom is limited too Cool stuff but I ll stick to listening to Eno Sorry but it just feels like Eno and Chilvers threw together a near interesting low grade simulation of ambient music that s prettier than it is usable and marketed it as four separate apps That s genius I guess and I m gonna use it now that I spent the money on it But for anyone looking for usability and playability turn around and get something else If you re looking to relax and help fall asleep get this Or just listen to Eno Okay That s it I don t know if I said everything but that doesn t matter much Goodbye             Decent for some time Nielsversavel
Elegant app sonically and visually Why this stokes deep associations I don t expect to know No lack of craft                     Self evolving soundscapes thomasdmiller
Hasn t been updated in forever I love this app                     Awesome Deekin_Scalesinger
The screen looks awful Please update     Time to update hollandinseattle
What s worse it wasn t cheap and does nothing and doesn t even show up in my purchases There are all these moods you can choose only they ve obviously been deactivated What a sad mess     Does Exactly Nothing Eageralanpoe
I don t understand what the fuss is about this app Other than my first few moves it seems programmed Hmm maybe I m missing something I ll check online to see if there are better instructions         Doesn t work sfcristina
For anybody that was misled by NAPSACK s review iPhone apps can be loaded on your iPad I have this app on both of my iPads it is definitely a keeper                     Works on iPad AblerCable
Eno has been trying to do generative music for 30 years This app is the realization of his vision I listen to it through the stereo while doing random things during my day The sound and parts are tremendous It s as Eno intended it Thanks Brian                     Amazing Swordfishman
As stated above                     Beautiful sleep aid zen game DoktorDok
I really love this app It s a totally logical extension of Brian Eno s ambient music theories and methodologies for the 21st century In addition I m a lifelong insomniac and since I ve been listening to this in bed I ve been falling asleep considerably faster than usual FWIW I slept restlessly with it playing all night The sleep timer came in handy My one significant complaint though I read about Trope in the iPhone edition of the music mag The Wire However when I try to open the magazine in Newsstand while Trope is playing in the background the mag shuts down the instant after it opens Trope is the only app that causes the mag to do this If I could read The Wire and listen to Trope as I go to sleep I d be REALLY happy                 Great but 50&Fig
This is one of my favorite apps However I am having some trouble with this as well as Air and Bloom and how they work in iOS6 on my iPod Touch The sleep timer which I have never had a problem with doesn t work correctly and the app will stay on Hopefully this bug can be squashed when the developers update it This is such a wonderful app and the sleep timer is necessary for me             Love it but some problems with iOS6 RewardYourToil
I love this app There is a multitasking option so the review that states the app won t freeze when closed is inaccurate I just wish this app was available for iPad as well                 Wish it was available for iPad too vastman44
But 3 99 seems high for something this simplistic and unimaginative There are plenty of great artists making ambient music I wish I d just spent the 4 bucks on some of their MP3s         I m no expert in ambient music Feneon
Couldn t get the sound to stop once I left the App The other app Bloom will freeze Wish this one would Had to delete it off my phone         Music that doesn t stop A J Cole
Serenity makes you feel like you are floating in deep space past the planets and moons the stars Beautiful You do not want to miss this Perfect for meditation or insomnia                     Unbelievable gpkarma
Well it s okay I guess I kind of expected more out of a Brian Eno app definitely needs more options like copy paste music file there s no way to save anything you create also the sounds are all pretty similar it s alright to sleep to but really needs a lot more options and some moods that are actually different             Well Autismommie
Cool sustained sounds Still trying to figure it out I like Bloom s more piano like soundscapes more                 I like Bloom slightly more tony-mac
I am really discovering some nice results Can we look forward to streaming to an airport express The ability to listen on the home stereo and still have my phone close by would be Devine Thank you                 Very nice wweess
Just bought the app Thought bloom was ok Like idea and ability to interact more Ps Try it on black and white if you will                     Sweet App Eno DeitytieD
Very nice app                     Calming TahirihRose
I love the concept but trope needs more sensitivity to the touches we make You can hardly hear the sounds when you touch the screen hard This results in basically only the background being heard Please boost the volume of our touches and also add more variety of sounds thanks             Please read app makers Krusecom
Beautiful I enjoyed Eno s 1975 vinyl LP Discreet Music very much It was created using a long tape loop between two reel to reel recorders with the erase head covered up This is the same concept 35 years later and the whole thing fits in your pocket It would be interesting to include a user sound input option Maybe that will be included in the iPad version                     Discreet Music 35 Years Later Siebertoo
This is beauty Brian Eno is genius for painting sound Trope is my favorite of the Eno apps and is the only reason I m able to sleep most nights I love it s Listen option and how you re able go set it to play for however long you d like or let it run all night and see how it affects your dreams It s simply mesmerizing relaxing and calms the mind I recommend it for everyone kaela m                     Grace ~Kaela
Thank you for the update to now support playing Trope in the background I love it                     Great nanokat
This was one of the first apps I bought when I got my very first iDevice and it still remains one of the most used and favorite apps I have downloaded It s perfect for yoga or meditation zoning out on a project and just about anything else you need ambient background noise for I just wish they would create a version for the Mac app store so I could have the wonderful beauty of this app on the much larger screen of my iMac                     Absolute chilled awesomeness LaziRae
This app is enjoyable and serene but it s usefulness is extremely limited as it lacks background tasking The developers seemed to have abandoned the app so you must take it as is If you d like to use your iPhone for anything else you must exit the app and end the soundscape That being said the soundscapes are beautiful and a pleasure to listen to while reading or relaxing             Enjoyable but crippled experience Anonymousnut
if it weren t for the self generating notes User sounds are nice and very Eno esque But the self generating notes spoil any creativity and takes what could have been a cool instrument and turns it into more of a novelty toy Too bad Fix the self generation or give an option to turn it off         Could be a great app DarkSound
My favorite of the three Eno apps It allows you more control than the others especially when holding a touch and dragging it about Visually mesmerizing Rich sound quality A must have                     Wonderful C. Fabian
Bloom is much better         Not awe inspiring psbuckley
I guess how new age people could get into this but I tried napping to this and it just ended up putting me in a bad mood         Not for me Newsocks
there wasn t that damned repeating piano riff in the background If I wanted that i d just play bloom Please update this app w o the background lead it s so undermining of what the user can do Think Eno             Great would give 5 stars if only mylesgilbert
Another zen garden for musicians Very calming Meditative Music and art therapy at it s best                     Love it Songwriter1974
Pure bliss All for less than a cappuccino                     X TNTFUN
I m a huge Eno fan so when I found out about Bloom I had to buy it and that led me to Trope Although Bloom may be more fun to play with than Trope I find that Trope is better to listen to It s easy to get it to play a slow soothing pseudo melody which is extremely relaxing I don t think any of these apps are really off the charts outstanding but this is a new way of making music and I m impressed at how good it already is                 better than Bloom chessgodzilla
Take some time to immerse yourself in this app There s a great deal of depth and nuance here even with the somewhat familiar themes certainly well worth the price If you enjoy ambient self generating and perpetuating music this is for you As another reviewer says a great compliment to Bloom A different environment Looking forward to more and perhaps some upgrades Many Thanks to Eno and Chilvers for their introspective genius                 It rzimpzons
Some say Trope is not as responsife as Bloom Not true Each action by the finger is more like moving a finger over a lip of a crystal glass Not like keystrokes on a synth like Bloom I like it It complements Bloom                     Subtler than Bloom Dulce812
Great ambient music generation Superb droning Crank up the bass and enjoy                     Excellent IcarusDCinder
Very cool graphics Only issue is a bug that changes line type back 2 default after I erase no matter which 1 I choose                     Excellent qbl
If you like Eno s ambient work I can t see how you would be disappointed by Bloom Trope or Air They are all winners and completely worth the meager price                     Very nice eggagog
Bloom achieved so much more Trope is simply a very short loop of dissonant piano notes and older marks The user hardly has any control at all Save your cash stick with Bloom         Honestly Thunder_Turtle
At first I was taken aback by the large number of negative reviews These must be people who do not like ambient music because I found this to be a wonderful app If you like Eno s Thursday Afternoon and other slow moving works this is perfect I am glad I bought it Eno fans who bought Bloom will be very pleased by this                     Don t let the negative reviews turn you off benny727
There is an occasional crackle in the audio I haven t downloaded the newest version yet to see if that has been corrected In spite of that this is my most used go to sleep app                     Works for me anickt
After using Bloom I was expecting more awesomeness but this program falls flat on it s face with it s super limited interface A waste     Waste of money AVOID corruptz0r
Though I ve only seen demos of Bloom from online reviews I suspect Trope is a far more intelligent and sophisticated generative music engine The result is that it takes your input and reworks it endlessly if not literally thus offering longevity and thematic variation With its variety of tone timbre and mood Trope is capable of producing real truly beautiful music either on its own or with input from you Well done                     Brilliant rfolsom

Darker than Bloom and Air Im a goth and I love ambient and this app is great That is all                 Fantastic

I think Trope is great Admittedly I bought it more to listen to it than to play it and for listening its really nice Quieter and more low key no pun intended than Bloom which is also wonderful The Opal generative music apps are the logical development of and perhaps the best format for Enos ambient work They provide something that Discreet Music Music for Airports et al suggest but cant deliver given the limitation of their medium evolving perpetual music                 Personally
As stated above                 Beautiful sleep aid zen game

The random pop up tones are louder then the other tones you can paint with or let play If the pop up tones could be turned down and the other tones made louder this would help Also I think it would be great to have controll in Bloom And Trone over the drone tones that are always on        Not very pretty on ears
Well its okay I guess I kind of expected more out of a Brian Eno appdefinitely needs more options like copy paste music file theres no way to save anything you create also the sounds are all pretty similar its alright to sleep to but really needs a lot more options and some moods that are actually different           Well

While other reviewers are correct that there is less control of the music produced with this app as compared with Bloom I still prefer this app The tones created are more sensuous and the sound is more seamless I found it to be very relaxing and meditative If you are a fan of Eno especially his Ambient series you will enjoy this app                 Very relaxing

More trippy and fairly meditative but Bloom gives more control to the operator Trope has its place but Bloom is still my favorite of this kind of app Theres room for both           Different but I like Bloom better
Thank you for the update to now support playing Trope in the background I love it                 Great
