thoughts on generative & mobile music making from the co-founder of intermorphic

About

Main life’s work has been on the generative SSEYO Koan Music Engine used by Brian Eno and others (I co-founded SSEYO), and recently on SSEYO miniMIXA (an advanced mobile music mixer, soon to be blogger), both of which surprisingly (and pleasantly!) won BAFTAs. However, my longstanding passion over the last 35 years has been writing music and playing guitar (and creating artworks for 20 of those). My songwriting activities have really only happened over the last 5 years, and on that front I have had the undisputed pleasure of working on some songs with Igor Dvorkin (a great composer/arranger/producer). Why the blog? Damn fine question.

I also have websites at www.colartz.com (my music, songs, artworks and mobile) and www.intermorphic.com (generative music and lyric generator software).

    Tim,

    I’ve just spent (wasted) half an hour looking for a way to buy miniMIXA. As a businessman, I hate to see sales opportunities wasted, and that’s what’s happening here,

    I’d suggest you ask Francis Chang to rethink his website approach, because he’s putting buyers right off, me included, I’m afraid.

    Good luck with your product.

    Tom.

    Hi Tom. Thanks for the comment, and I am sorry to hear about your wasted time. There is currently no way to purchase the miniMIXA software via the Tao website, which is focused on business to business. I am hoping that Tao will find a solution to make the software available for purchase again. As soon as something has been decided as to where it can be purchased from, I will note it in my blog - rest assured! NB: The current V2 version can still be purchased from the imate store I believe (but not yet the upcoming V2 version). Hoping this helps!
