Abstract

A generative audio system has an audio or music engine for generatively creating an audio work. While the work is in the process of being created, the engine receives an external trigger (51) - for example the button-press on a mobile phone - and the engine then controls or influences the work in progress in dependence upon that trigger. In one embodiment, the external trigger (51) may control or select a new musical voice which harmonizes with the existing voices as creation of the work continues.
