1. A method comprising:

  • determining at least a bend characteristic associated with a flexible part of an apparatus, the bend characteristic comprising at least one of;

    a bend angle and a bend direction;

    processing audio signals generated from a microphone array located within the apparatus dependent at least on the bend characteristic associated with the flexible part of the apparatus, wherein the bend characteristic associated with the flexible part of the apparatus physically defines an audio capture field of the microphone array for audio sources exterior to the apparatus such that;

    a normal audio capture field is defined when the bend characteristic indicates the flexible part is not bent;

    a narrowed audio capture field is defined when the bend characteristic indicates the flexible part is bent inwards; and

    a broadened audio capture field is defined when the bend characteristic indicates the flexible part is bent outwards; and

    generating at least one user interface indication dependent on the bend characteristic associated with the flexible part of the apparatus.
