Wotja History
Wotja is a market leading generative system and the continued evolution (via Noatikl, Mixtikl, Liptikl & Tiklbox) of the legendary and BAFTA-winning 'SSEYO Koan Generative Music System'. It uses a combination of AI Techniques & heuristics we’ve been crafting for nearly 30 years.
Background: Generative Music is a term coined in 1995 by Brian Eno whilst working with SSEYO Koan Pro.
App Range
Wotja V19 App range: There are 4 different versions available in 2019:
- Wotja 19: Generative Music System (Free / Free + Subscription App)
- Wotja Pro 19: Generative Music Composer (Paid-for App)
- Wotja Box 19: Generative Music Maker (Paid-for App)
- Wotja Go 19: Generative Music Player (Paid-for App)
The Wotja 19 product cycle starts out with a number of new features and capabilities:
- New apps & Feature Sets/tiers
- 'Flow Player' mode for a succession of freshly generated mixes
- Powerful 'Randomization Schemes' to make it quick & easy to change the feel of automatic mixes (Flow, Albums etc.)
- Macro Oscillator 1 Tone Generator in the ISE 19 sound engine
- Intermorphic Wotja Script
- Improved harmonisation in the IME 19 music engine
- 2 octave Rules (Scale, Harmony & Next Note) for greater creative freedom & experimentation
- BP4 Backings pak and 'TTM1 Players 2'; reworked 'TTM1 Players'
- Many new Sound and FX Presets
- 10 minute music play time in 'Free Mode' for Built-In Albums 'Calm' & 'Relax', 2 minutes in Flow & User Albums
- 'Flow Segment' in Documents screen to make it easy to select a Flow 'Randomization Scheme'
- Chinese and Japanese localizations (except in Mix Editing Mode)
- Many UI & usability improvements
Wotja uniquely marries generative music composition and sound design with a text 'Cut-up' capability, often used to come up with ideas for lyrics, haiku, poems, word combinations. It also includes a display generator for creating simple and visually appealing screensaver-like backgrounds. Wotja is therefore perfect for auto-generating mixes for its Flow Player or Album Player modes. These 'multi-media ' creations can be interesting and unique combinations of image, text and music.
It includes hundreds of generative music templates and it is a snap to start Flow Player mode. When using the more advanced Box or Pro Feature Sets it can take just a matter of seconds to (Box) create an automatic music mix or (Pro) make any desired mix adjustments (if any), generate a Cut-up text idea, add a photo background or automatic icon.
It can be used to simply generate and play relaxing ambient music. However, it can also be used as a deep music creativity app well suited to those that want to explore further and experiment with generative music composition and sound design.
Finally, Wotja doesn’t require that you are connected to the Internet for it to generate/play music*. As a music generator in its own right it composes its melodies and live music on your device and 'in the moment'. Wotja's music is thus personal and unique to you. It's Zen.
* The Subscription version periodically needs to check/maintain an active Subscription.

About Intermorphic (press contact):
Intermorphic Ltd was co-founded in 2007 by Tim Cole and Pete Cole. It develops music creativity & relaxation ("creative relaxation") apps that use generative & cut-up techniques and builds them to help people both create ideas and to relax and enjoy the moment. The multi BAFTA Award-winning Cole brothers ("the Coles") have a history in music software innovation: they co-founded SSEYO in 1990 and from then to 2001 they created and worked on the "SSEYO Koan Music Engine", a "Generative Music" system used by Brian Eno for his seminal 1996 "Generative Music 1". SSEYO Koan software was available for Windows, Mac and Windows Mobile and in a range of variants from Standalone to Audio Plugin to Web Browser Plugin. Following Tao Group's acquisition of SSEYO in 2001, the Coles created the intent Sound System (iSS) and "SSEYO miniMIXA", one of the world's first mobile music mixers. Intermorphic secured the IP rights to the iSS and SSEYO software in Q2 2008. In 2007 it released both "Noatikl: Generative Music Composer" (the evolution to SSEYO Koan) and "Liptikl: Cut-Up Text Writer". This was followed in 2008 by "Mixtikl: Generative Music Mixer" and in 2012 by "Tiklbox: Generative Music Player". After many years deliberating on the next step forward for Generative Music the Coles decided that it was "Reflective Music" and so in 2014 came the first of the "Wotja® : Generative Music System" releases. By 2017 the key authoring capabilities of Noatikl, Mixtikl and Liptikl had been fully consolidated into Wotja for iOS and macOS, including the playlisting of Tiklbox. February 2018 saw the first release of "Wotja X", a cross-platform UI variant that finally allowed Wotja to be available for all of Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, and this UI is now the cornerstone of all Wotja V19 apps.
