abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz is an innovative sound toy that allows users to manipulate tiny sound-creatures shaped like letters. These creatures respond to factors like gravity and each other, resulting in the creation of captivating rhythms and harmonious soundscapes. This versatile tool serves not only as a source of creative amusement but also as a performance instrument and an artistic masterpiece in its own right.

This project skillfully blends elements of art, biology, physics, and entertainment to establish a distinctive, dynamic, and engaging audio environment. Users have the opportunity to experiment with the behavior of the letter-creatures, observe their interactions, or harness them to generate intricate soundscapes similar to those produced by electronic musical instruments.
