Looking for the Koan Generative Music System? You've now found it! Have any questions?

Generative Music

Noatikl replaces the (now retired) SSEYO Koan generative music system. From Intermorphic, it's a new trans-generative music tool & Koan's future.

The Intermorphic founders built Koan & created Noatikl to better it. When it comes to generative music systems, Noatikl is now "the one to beat".

Past Koan users will find Noatikl similar to Koan in many ways & there's a way it can play content created with Koan tools, too. So for Koan users the 'format' lives on in .noatikl files instead.

What's new? Powerful scripting, VST/AU plugins, ongoing development and an active user base!

Mobile Music Mixing System for Mobile Phone, Pocket PC, PDA, Desktop

Mixtikl replaces the (now retired) SSEYO miniMIXA mobile music mixer.

The Intermorphic founders built miniMIXA & have now created Mixtikl as the torch carrier for their next generation of mobile music creativity tools.

Mixtikl is a powerful, unique, 12 track 'live' mobile music mixer / performer for mobile phone / Smartphone, Pocket PC / PPC / PDA, and desktop.

Mix/mash audio, ogg, MIDI & generative music. Edit synth sounds and FX, too. Have fun making it up as you go...

VST & AU Sequencer plugins let you create on mobile & finish on Mac / PC, & vice-versa.

SSEYO (1990 - 2007) » Intermorphic (2007 to date)

SSEYO (www.sseyo.com) was founded in 1990 by Pete and Tim Cole; namely, us, the founders of Intermorphic.

SSEYO was acquired by Tao Group in 2002, which went bust in 2007. So, in 2007 we co-founded Intermorphic to continue the life's work we started at SSEYO, in the areas of generative music tools and mobile music mixing & making software and tools [formerly miniMIXA].

We finally got our 'back catalogue' back in 2008 when Intermorphic acquired the rights to the SSEYO.com domain, SSEYO trademarks and all the SSEYO, Koan, miniMIXA and iSS related IP. Result!

Generative Music - with SSEYO Koan

July 2009: Our new Noatikl trans-generative music tool is THE long awaited and powerful replacement for the SSEYO Koan Generative Music System (which the Intermorphic founders first started designing in 1990, was first released in 2004, and was used by Brian Eno in his '96 "Generative Music 1" release).

Development on SSEYO Koan products (such Koan Pro, Koan X and the Koan Plugin) stopped after SSEYO was acquired by Tao Group in 2002. Thanks to Intermorphic, however, Koan still has a future - albeit with a new name- as Koan is replaced by Intermorphic's totally new, clean-roomed developed successor: Noatikl for Windows, Mac (& Mobile via Mixtikl).

In fact, Noatikl provides Koan users a bridge to an exciting future: a new code base & tools that are being maintained, developed and extended to meet new challenges. For example, a runtime Noatikl generative music engine is an integral component of Mixtikl.

Mobile Music Mixing & Making - with SSEYO miniMIXA

July 2009: Our powerful "Mixtikl" 12 track mobile music mixer for Windows Mobile Smartphone, Pocket PC / PDA, and desktop (Windows and Mac) is an advanced, portable and fun music creativity and mixing software application.

Mixtikl is the new Intermorphic brand name for SSEYO miniMIXA, a product we built whilst at Tao and that we have now ported and extended. miniMIXA V1 was first released to the market in 2004, miniMIXA V2 in 2006 and miniMIXA V3 was due for release in 2007, but Tao Group folded before then.

SSEYO website archive

When we have time we hope to put some of the SSEYO website back on line, but right now we are focused on the future, which is looking very exciting for generative music and mobile music tools!

If you want to go back in history right now, you can access the old SSEYO site at the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. The last effective date for the site was March 7 2007 (after which Tao Group cleansed it of all SSEYO information). When accessed from there the menuing no longer seems to work, and some versions now redirect you back to the intermorphic website (in which case try using sseyoindex.html after the SSEYO domain in the Wayback Machine).
