Cici switched from using her fingers to her toes and nose on my iPhone screen. Cici turns five next month.
Brian Eno' and Peter Chilver's Bloom for the iPhone:
"Bloom is a new generative musical application for iPhone and iPod touch, created by Brian Eno and software designer Peter Shilvers. It's quite simple, but if you're looking for some soothing musical strains to float out of your mobile Apple device, this is your ticket. At launch, you're given a choice of either using a pre-determined set of rules, or tapping in your own parameters and patterns. The touch interface lets you use your fingers to add note patterns, which then repeat and mutate. If you make your own composition, you'll start those patterns from a blank slate, but even if you choose an existing composition, you can tap solos over the top. The taps turn into patterns that transform themselves when the system is idle, rather than repeating indefinitely."
