![]() A key premise was that much of the musical 'processing' would be carried out by the listener, who would bring to it their own perceptions, situation and 'wetware', so internalizing and personalizing the experience." I thought no more of it until 1986 when, for some reason, I started deliberating about a sphere-like composition and performance instrument and madly figured it would be fun to try to create a computer music system which could affect you on an emotional level, by enhancing or filtering your perceptions, and provide ever-changing, eventually interactive, music. ![]() ![]() Today it would be called a kind of hyper-instrument. In it, Asimov introduced the the Visi-Sonor, a device which could be manipulated by a skilled operator to create amazing multimedia entertainments combining both music and visuals. "The original inspiration for our approach to generative music engines came from the classic Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, which I probably started to read some time in the 70s. Some links below in the Announcements section are direct to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. 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, or sseyo.html). The first archived SSEYO site is from November 1996 and the last for the SSEYO site was Ma(after which Tao Group cleansed it of all SSEYO information). Please refer to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to view the old SSEYO website and for further details on SSEYO or Tao Group (you may need to be patient as the IAWM is a bit temperamental). But, where did SSEYO Koan go? In 2007 it evolved into Intermorphic Noatikl, which in 2017 itself evolved into Wotja! In 2002 SSEYO was acquired by Tao Group whose assets were sold in 2007, which was why we then started Intermorphic - we wanted to continue our life's work in creating generative apps to help generate ideas and deliver unique " inmo" experiences. In our 30 year journey SSEYO may be our past, but Intermorphic ( which owns all past SSEYO IP) is our future.Īlthough SSEYO pioneered many things, it was best known through Brian Eno's use of SSEYO Koan Pro for his 1996 released " Generative Music 1 with SSEYO Koan Software" (published by SSEYO and Opal Music) and also “miniMIXA”, a powerful mobile music mixer first released in 2004. SSEYO was founded in 1990 by the Intermorphic founders Tim Cole and Pete Cole, and with friend Jon Pettigrew (see also early SSEYO in Credits).
