Strokes of the finger create the lines and other visuals (five options total) seen below, each of which effect a different compositional element in one of 12 “moods.” The moods are named “Sodalis,” “Orenia,” and the like — that’s three more moods than in Bloom, the previous iPhone app developed by the duo.

If you have iTunes installed on your computer, you can learn more at apple.com. More coverage at synthtopia.com. (Thanks to Brian Scott, of boondesign.com, who first drew my attention to it.)
