Abstract
Apparatuses, methods and computer program products involving playing music by means of portable communication apparatuses, e.g. mobile telephones, as instruments. According to an embodiment of the invention, a method for generating music data in a portable communication apparatus is provided. A first stream of music data from a first music data generator and a second stream of music data from a second music data generator are received by means of a mixer device of the portable communication apparatus. Furthermore, the first and the second streams of music data are mixed to a third stream of music data. The third stream of music data is fed to a music data player of the portable communication apparatus for playing the third stream of music data.
