In 1998 Cole created the first online collaborative virtual generative composition, Koan^oasis and gave a keynote speech at ISEA. SSEYO raised several rounds of funding and went on to win a BAFTA for Technical Innovation in 2001. In 2002 SSEYO became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tao Group, where Cole now works as Head of Audio for the 'intent' mobile multimedia middleware platform. Since then, Tao have developed the next-generation mobile audio technologies that will allow mobile phones to become music making creativity systems, and Tao's Advanced Polyphonic Ringtone Engine, including support for XMF, is now being deployed on mobile phones.
