Bjork's "Moon" single, from the (recently delayed) Biophilia, is availble now available on iTunes The corresponding app, a music sequencer, is also available to download. You can preview it below...

With each new moon we complete a cycle and are offered renewal —to take risks, to connect with other people, to love, to give. the symbolism of the moon as the realm of imagination, melancholy, and regeneration is expressed in the moon song and app by musical patterns and visual images which wax and wane, and by lyrics about rebirth.
The moon app connects musical structure, human biorhythms, and cycles of the moon and tides : robs of pearls are strung out attached to a spinal chord whose fluid rises and falls with changing phases of the moon and the harp sequences.
The animation shows the changing shapes of and relationships between the harp melodies, allowing us to find connections between musical and natural cycles.
