Abstract
A system and method is described in which a multimedia story is rendered to a consumer in dependence on features extracted from an audio signal representing for example a musical selection of the consumer. Features such as key changes and tempo of the music selection are related to dramatic parameters defined by and associated with story arcs, narrative story rules and film or story structure. In one example a selection of a few music tracks provides input audio signals () from which musical features are extracted (), following which a dramatic parameter list and timeline are generated (). Media fragments are then obtained (), the fragments having story content associated with the dramatic parameters, and the fragments output () with the music selection.
