From image generation to sound design, the self-emergence of structures in such algorithms make them suitable for exploring forms of computational creativity in automated generation of art. This work explores sound synthesis by combining swarm intelligence, user interaction and a novel sonic communication protocol between socially-capable artificial agents. These are termed "Sonoids" and socially behave following the well-known boids algorithm but perceive their environment (positions, velocities and identities of other agents) through sound. For the purposes of the work, the overall sound-synthesis environment is demonstrated as an iOS application that handles the Sonoids movement and sonifies their social interaction. User interaction is additionally allowed, which can modify specific parameters of the sonic communication protocol, leading to rich sonifications that present self-emergent structure.
