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, text-to-music & cut-up techniques. The 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 BAFTA Award-winning "SSEYO Koan Interactivity Platform" which included the "Generative Music" engine 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 BAFTA Award-winning "SSEYO miniMIXA", one of the world's first mobile music mixers. In 2007 it released both "Noatikl: Generative Music Composer" (the evolution to SSEYO Koan) and "Liptikl: Cut-Up Text Writer". In Q2 2008 Intermorphic secured the IP rights to the iSS and SSEYO software and in December 2008 released "Mixtikl: Generative Music Mixer" followed in 2012 by "Tiklbox: Generative Music Player". After many years of updates to the forgoing apps and after much deliberation on the next step forward for Generative Music, the Coles decided that it was "Reflective Music". And so in 2014 along came the first of the releases of the "Wotja®: Generative Music System", an all-in-one 'Player & Composer Lab'. 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. By 2019 this had become the cornerstone of all further Wotja apps, including the Wotja interface for TV. In 2021 Wotja for iOS/macOS became a single App ID and an AUv3 Audio Unit Plug-in was added, as well as support for Apple silicon. Ever since its first release Wotja and its IME (Music), ISE (Sound), IWS (Script) and ITE (Text) engines have continued to be extended with many new features and improvements.
