Not to be confused with [\_scape](http://www.prote.in/feed/2012/08/scape?ref=protein.xyz), Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers recently released an iPad app called [Scape](http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/scape/id506703636?mt=8&ref=protein.xyz) (£3.99) that sounds like [another interesting take on the 'album'](http://www.prote.in/feed/2012/08/beck-hansens-song-reader?ref=protein.xyz).

"Scape makes music that thinks for itself. \[It's\] a new form of album which offers users deep access to its musical elements. These can be endlessly recombined to behave intelligently: reacting to each other, changing mood together, making new sonic spaces." The press release continues, "Can machines create original music? Scape is our answer to that question: it employs some of the sounds, processes and compositional rules that we have been using for many years and applies them in fresh combinations, to create new music. Scape makes music that thinks for itself."

If we truly are hurtling towards the Singularity, at least our robot masters will be musically inclined.
