HMV is a board game, created in 2001 by ///fur/////, with which players move semi-autonomous ball robots by making sounds. Form and gravity collude with voice, board and chance. The spheres are autonomous robots that have been created to listen to a certain pitch and starts to move if the right frequency is hummed or sung.

The initial setting does not provide rules. The players get involved and slowly experience strategies and goals.
