Abstract

A generative sound system has a generative audio engine which is controlled or influenced by means of messages received from a plurality of individual articles or units (71). The articles may, in a variety of embodiments include collectable cards (86), building blocks (102), articles of furniture, ornaments and so on (128, 130, 132), portable electronic devices such as mobile phones (60), and toys, models or figures (142). The individual articles or units may exchange messages with each other and/or with a base unit.
