Orphion's Little Brother orphinio Brings its Own Brand of Abstract Music Making to the iPhone

iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad
When Angela LaFollette reviewed Orphion back in February she seemed to enjoy it quite a bit, and now a similar abstract music-creation tool is available for the iPhone by way of orphinio.
I say "similar" because it's not actually Orphion with a different screen resolution but rather a separate app. The sound is a little different as well; the developer states it's sort of like a combination of a jaw harp and a glockenspiel. You can nab this surreal little digital instrument for $0.99.
