2005 BAFTA Interactive Entertainment awards - Music Category

It was announced last week that Audio Network customer Tao Group has won the top music award for its SSEYO miniMIXA product, a mobile music sequencer designed to let people write, edit and share compositions.

SSEYO miniMIXA is the most innovative, powerful and feature-packed mobile music software application you can lay your hands on. It is a mobile DJ mixer, sequencer, sampler, synthesiser, visualiser & recording studio all rolled into one.

Installed on a mobile phone, PDA or desktop PC, the software allows users to create mixes from a range of included music sequences, samples and synthesizer sounds. Users can increase the range of content available to them through a growing range of add-on MIXApaks or by adding in their own recordings and material.

The creative development of the audio content and the MIXApaks available at launch (Fiesta, Floorzone, Turbulence and Terminator), was undertaken by Audio Network Plc with composer Igor Dvorkin.

Until recently Igor was an asylum seeker who was under constant threat of expulsion from the UK. His talent came to the attention of Audio Network Plc, who campaigned to allow him to remain in the UK and built support from other organizations.

Andrew Sunnucks Audio Network’s Creative Director said:

“It’s great that Igor’s abilities and value to the UK has received so much support from organizations as diverse as the BBC, The Film Council and of course Tao Group. We feel this award vindicates our determination to persuade the Government to allow Igor to stay in the UK.”
