First determine which kind of extra-terrestrial you are dealing with. If you have life forms from the planet Zound at your front door then it is safe to let them in. (You will recognise Zound aliens by their red heads and small feet). To communicate with them, you will need a Zoundz. The Zoundz is a futuristic music-making machine that is light years ahead of its time. It is made up of a base unit and seven individual musical 'pawns' - each of which is a different shape and colour.

Place a 'pawn' onto various spots on the base unit and it will light up and play a different riff or beat. Move the 'pawns' around the unit and the sound will change depending on where they are placed - so you can create your own music.

Please note: Zound aliens are partial to unique compositions and may smile - you can tell that they are smiling by looking at their ears, which flip upside down when they are happy.
