Mass-interaction scheme is often cited as the traditional physical modeling technique, but surprising some of the musical creation fields it allows have not yet been pointed out. GENESIS is a musician-oriented graphical environment for mass-interaction physical modeling. Il offers some new possibilities for music creation based on a articulation between reality and "virtuality". This paper presents the version 1.5 of the GENESIS environment we habe developed in the recent years. It introduces its major functionalities and their conceptual origins. It explains the choices we made to provide attractive model representation, low and high level modeling tools, and visual output during simulation.
